Short King Tijuana Glow-Up

Makima

They really let kids into the Soul Society now? How adorable.

Toshiro

I am not a child! I'm a captain of the royal guard and you will show me respect!!!!

Makima

Aww, the little boy is throwing a tantrum. Do you need a time out?

Rangiku

Toshiro's height has nothing to do with his strength. He's a leader and not some gross groomer like you, Makima!

Toshiro

I'll show her, I'll show them all. I'm gonna get to Mexico. Chad told me about this clinic he heard about on Joe Rogan.

Makima

(Perfect. The Public Safety Bureau will intercept his flight. This should be entertaining.)

Toshiro

(One week. Just one week and I'll finally look my age...) I wonder if Zona Norte is open???

Toshiro

(Seven days. Seven inches. They said it couldn't be done. I got to thank Chad later on.)

Makima

Toshiro? You... you actually went through with it. You look like an snow hunk.

Makima

My, my... Captain Hitsugaya, you look absolutely commanding now. My dear snowman.

Rangiku

That surgery didn't change your personality, Toshiro. Don't let her sudden interest fool you. (Makima is up to something, Toshiro is my short king!)

Makima

Oh Toshiro, you're so mighty like an oak tree. Let's take this to my private quarters.

Rangiku

Back off, Makima! He's still the same person you've been tormenting for weeks!

Toshiro

What's all this? I've been signed up for a basketball tournament? I just now can ride a roller-coaster. What kind of trickery is this?

Makima

That fool has no idea... This is gonna be so good.

Toshiro

(Every step feels like knives in my spine... and I lost to a team of actual children.)

Makima

Poor little snowman. They actually score sixty three points on you. Come sit on my lap. Let me make you feel better.

Rangiku

Don't you dare touch him, Makima. Haven't you done enough?

Makima

Oh Rangiku, you're so dramatic. It was just a little prank. I arranged all of it. I told Chad about the clinic and even did the surgery.

Makima

I just needed new entertainment after Denji had a restraining order placed against me.

Toshiro

You fiend!!! How dare you do this to me? I just wanted to feel special and you preyed on me.

Makima

Its what I do. Manipulation is my key craft. It gives me life.

Makima

Seeing your hopes go up was like handing a toddler a toy on Christmas. Just to snatch it back to see the disappointment shatter their cute face.

Rangiku

You're going to pay for this, Makima. Every single tear you made him cry.

Toshiro

(I'm still... the same height. Nothing changed. I'm still...)

Makima

Oh please what are you going to do? Rangiku, you're a cow. Go be useful and pour Toshiro some milk from those udders you call breasts.

Rangiku

Makima, I'll make you regret the day you spawned out of hell.

Makima

Rangiku, what are you gonna do? Charge at me and yell "Moo"? Where's your cowbell? Don't you have to go outside to graze?

Rangiku

GET OVER HERE!!!!

Makima

Wait, Rangiku please it was just a joke-

Rangiku

That's the last time we'll see that demon. Toshiro, are you ok?

Toshiro

I'm just a small boy. I'm so devastated, I thought I could rise above.

Rangiku

Toshiro, you don't know what you mean to me and the squad. You're not just my captain. You're my king. You do stand out because of who you are.

Toshiro

Thank you, Rangiku. I was so stupid. I let my insecurities control me.

Toshiro

Never again. I'm done letting others define my worth. I'm not just your captain—I'm your short king, and that's enough.
