02x02 - The Man who Hates Shinigami

[bunniefuu]

Raise your eyes you can see sh**ting stars up in the night sky Raise your eyes you can see sh**ting stars up in the night sky One, two The sound resonates Into my heart, so hard and deep A field of stars spans endlessly And through it I carve a passageway In step with time as generations change Close your eyes and listen closely sh**ting stars stream on silently until the goodbye Keep the light inside of you, never give up don't ever lose Transcend time and you will prove, there is a special place for you A blaze of glory is there, It's all a part of our estate; life is our story to create Raise your eyes you can see sh**ting stars up in the night sky Wishes speak from ages old by voice of light Throughout the age, never fade away A secret fire, a scream of light, voices calling through twilight Cast your thoughts to the wind, hang your wishes on the moon Live your life with all your strength for dreams will reach you very soon Raise your eyes you can see sh**ting stars up in the night sky Wishes speak from ages old by voice of light Throughout the age, never fade away Someday your dream will find its place somewhere Keep shining like a star Who is that?
The Captain of Squad 3, Gin Ichimaru.

Oh, this will not do.

Jidanbo!
This is unacceptable.

A guardian of the gate isn't supposed to open the gates.

We were careless I didn't expect someone like him would come all this way.

Even if these kids have become strong, Captain-level strength is beyond imagination.

They can't fight him We must avoid that worst possible scenario!
Ugh I lost!
Opening the gate is what is expected of a gatekeeper who has lost!
What are you saying?
A gatekeeper who loses isn't opening any gates.

When a gatekeeper loses it means"death.

" I-Ichigo!
What the hell are you doing?!
That's my line!
Don't try to butt in, you fox face!
Anyone who att*cks an unarmed guy will be k*lled by me!
Oh!
You're a funny kid.

You're not scared of me?
Not at all!
Hey!
Stop it Ichigo!
We have to retreat for now!
Ichigo?
- Huh?!
Why?!
- I see - I'm only just getting started!
- So he's the one I just can't forgive guys like him.

I'll be fine.

- I'll just end it - So you're Ichigo Kurosaki?
You know about me?
Oh, just as I thought.

Huh?!
Hey!
Where're you going?!
Hey wait!
All the more reason why I can't let you pass.

Why are you standing so far back?
Are you going to throw your wakizashi?
It's not a wakizashi.

This is my Zanpakuto, you see sh**t him dead, Shinso!
Kurosaki!
Kurosaki!
Damn it!
The gate!
Bye bye!
- Ouch!
Ouch!
- Are you all right, Kurosaki?!
Kurosaki!
How's the gate?
Damn it!
It seems you're all right.

Sorry the gate closed because of me No, your opponent was Gin Ichimaru.

It couldn't be helped.

Be glad that you weren't hurt.

- Inoue - Huh?
Take care of him.

Okay.

Who are they?
They were hiding until now.

Why?
They were afraid of us.

Souls who come illegitimately to the Soul Society without the aid of Soul Reapers are called Ryoka, and they are said to be the cause of all kinds of calamities.

They think we are enemies?
Stay here!
Please wait.

Huh?
I am the elder of the Rukon District.

I witnessed everything that happened just now.

We want to welcome you as Jindanbo's saviors.

There are a lot of arrogant Soul Reapers, but Jidanbo's a native of the Rukon District.

And he's always been kind to us.

You faced Gin Ichimaru for Jidanbo.

That's why you must be a good person.

Nevertheless that's a terrible wound.

Okay!
All right!
Don't worry.

I'll heal Jidanbo's wounds.

What?
Huh?
Inoueyou can heal that?
Yes, just leave it to me.

- No way - Shuno, Ayame!
Hi!
Need some help?
Hello.

Please, lend me your power.

Of course!
We are your power!
All you have to do is desire it.

Recite the Spirit Chant!
Sotenkishun!
I reject!
Wow, that's amazing, Inoue.

When did you get that power?
Excuse me!
Please let me through!
Let me through!
Oh!
Mister!
It's me!
Shibata!
Shibata?
Yeah!
The parakeet, Shibata!
Mister!
Shibata!
You put on some weight, huh?
No way!
It's probably because you only knew me as a parakeet.

When you're here, you don't change at all.

You stay the same as when you first get here.

I see Shibata So About your mother This is my house.

It's kind of run down, but it's cool during summer and nice.

And my family are all really nice.

Your family?
Yuichi, you came back.

Mom and Dad were worried.

Oh, yeah.

Mom and Dad?
Umm This boy is Hironari Horiuchi.

He's like my big brother.

How do you do.

Like your big brother?
In the Soul Society, Or rather the Rukon District, people who aren't related form family units and live together.

People who died in different places, at different times, live together.

It's rare for someone to meet up with a real family member who died earlier.

The Soul Reapers don't reunite you with your family?
No.

By the way, I died in 1947 in Yamanashi Prefecture.

It's way before Shibata died.

Our age, the location, we're far apart.

So you haven't seen your mother yet?
No, but I'm looking for her.

Don't worry!
You have all of us, Yuichi.

Please don't worry.

We're all like him in the beginning, but we change with as time goes on.

II won't see my mom again I'm sorry, but can I stay with Shibata for a bit longer?
Sure.

I'll tell our family.

By the way, why are you here, Mister?
You're not dead, are you?
No I'm not.

Then why?
I wonder that too Huh?
On that rooftop Isn't that your Soul Reaper friend?
Even if he goes that high up, he won't be able to see beyond the gate.

But he'll still keep looking, without giving up.

That's the kind of guy Ichigo is.

I guess I was around your age when I started worrying about me looking different from everyone else.

And I had this amazing strength I couldn't handle that was different from them.

What is this power I got?
I want to know I have a feeling that coming here will give me some clues.

That's why I came I thought I'd risk everything to search for some answers.

You're really giving it your all, huh Mister?
That's why, Yuichi, don't give up.

Huh?
If you keep searching without giving up, you'll find your mother.

Isn't that right?
Mister!
All right, let's make a promise.

Uh-huh!
Chad?
Hey.

What?
At least speak up if you're there.

I'm always behind you.

Huh?
What?
!
Give up on breaking through the gate?
Not give up.

SHORYU KOKURYO SHUWAI HAKUTO SHORYU KOKURYO SHUWAI HAKUTO Once the gate has been opened, SHORYU KOKURYO SHUWAI HAKUTO SHORYU KOKURYO SHUWAI HAKUTO the security on the inside becomes even tighter.

SHORYU KOKURYO SHUWAI HAKUTO SHORYU KOKURYO SHUWAI HAKUTO Which means the same strategy is not the best one.

SHORYU KOKURYO SHUWAI HAKUTO I agree.

What about other gates?
There won't be much difference with this one.

Then what do we do?!
If we can't use the gate, we must enter another way.

Lord Elder, do you know Kukaku Shiba?
W-What?!
I understand she constantly changes residences.

I haven't been able to find out where she lives now.

KukakuShiba You're not planning to go through the wall with that!
"That?!
" Huh?
What's that noise?
What is it?
- What's happening!
- Ouch!
W-Who is this guy?
Huh?
A Wild boar?!
Why?
What's a wild boar doing here?!
Ouch!
Darnthrown again by my Bonnie.

Hey!
Been a long time, Old Man.

Ganju, what are you doing here?!
Go home!
Some greeting!
I come to visit after a long time and I get that?
Your guests are shocked.

Oh What do we have here?
What's a dirty Soul Reaper doing here?
What of it?
Not "what?"!
I asked what a dirty Soul Reaper is doing here Huh?!
Huh?!
Say something, you dandelion head-!
W-What're you doing?!
You picking a fight?!
That's my line!
Trying to provoke me like that!
You prehistoric boar!
"Prehistoric boar"?!
What do we do?!
We should stop them.

- Are you stupid?
- I'm not stupid!
- Good grief Just as I expected.

- I got a name you know!
This is no time to drink tea!
Who is that guy?
You don't know who I am?!
I don't.

- Neither do I.

- Don't know.

Don't wanna know.

Hahtoo bad I'll tell you.

"The Self-Proclaimed Deep Red b*llet of West Rukon!
" "And Self-Proclaimed: The Most Likely to be Called Big Boss Candidate for 14 Years Running!
And "Self-Proclaimed Number One Soul Reaper Hater of West Rukon!
" - All self-proclaimed!
- All self-proclaimed!
Hah!
You're hopeless.

What?
What?
Kurosaki!
Kurosaki!
Hold it!
We won't let you get in Big Brother's way.

If you really want to get involved in this fight We'll be your opponents.

Henchmen Wow All of them - Riding on boars!
- Riding on boars!
Get outta here!
While I'm alive, no Soul Reaper will be allowed to step foot in West Rukon!
Huh?!
Big Brother!
Damn it!
Cut it out, will ya?!
If you wanna fight, I'll fight you.

Why you--!
You punched my handsome face not once, but twice!
I kicked you the second time around, idiot!
Enough, Ichigo!
Don't use up your strength in a meaningless fight.

He started it.

If you want us to stop, tell him.

Getting worked up over a stupid thingthe fool!
It seems we're destined to fight, you and me.

Stop, Ganju!
He is not an evil Soul Reaper!
Shut up!
Soul Reapers are Soul Reapers.

There's no good or evil.

Ganju Get ready!
This is bad!
Kurosaki doesn't have his Zanpakuto!
Oh!
Thanks, Chad!
That's big!
So that's your Zanpakuto!
However Don't think you can win just because you have a bigger sword!
Sink!
W-What's this?!
The ground!
It's like quicksand!
Huh?!
Hey!
Quit using weird tricks!
Damn it, if that didn't drop you, you're pretty tough.

What's wrong?
Come at me!
Hey, what time is it?!
It's bad, Big Brother!

For real?
Come, Bonnie!
