[Zangetsu hates this damn weather as much as the Old Man does. And it kills him to know how often he's the cause of it.
Because it's what Ichigo needed, at the time. An enemy, not a friend; someone to fight against, not alongside. Because that's how Ichigo learned best, and quickest. They needed him to get strong fast, Shinigami/Zanpakutou relationship be damned.
He doesn't hate the Manifestation for it. It was what had to be done to win. But dealing with the fallout now was painful.]
It's what he needed. You knew that, so that's how you made it happen. It accomplished what we needed it to. That's all that matters. [as much as it hurt, the ends always justified the means. That's what Zangetsu believed]
... I know why he's upset. But there's nothing I can say to make him understand me. So I'll just have to show him. [ he peeks at the old man from behind his arm] Sorry, my friend. Give me some time to stop the rain.
