Ever since the powers of the Soul Reaper were thrust upon me,
my whole world has changed.
I'm Substitute Soul Reaper, Ichigo Kurosaki.
I wield this sword with all of my soul and strength
to protect my precious friends!
You are my one and only.
No one can take your place.
Never fade, my only flower.
The sun never blinds you.
You are like a flower that blooms in shade.
Exhale those feelings you hold inside.
You are my one and only; now and forever.
The day may come when all will rise against us,
but I will protect you.
Never give up, my only flower.
TIME NOTICE THAT YOU SHOULD NOTICE THAT
NOTICE THAT THERE'S NO OTHER
One week after Aizen rebellion
Hey! You expect us to eat this crappy food?!
E-Everyone eats the same thing here
I'm telling you, there something wrong with that.
What's with all the noise?
We were injured honorably in the battle.
It's Squad .
It wouldn't hurt to give us a better meal
Again?
don't you think?
Oh
Really, you Squad are...
Is there a problem with my Squad?
C-Captain Unohana?!
D-Didn't know you were here!
I'm glad that you're feeling better.
But
this is the General Relief Station.
As long as you're here your lives are in our hands.
Don't forget that.
W-We're sorry!
W-We're sorry!
Save us!
H-Hey, what's going on?
Huh?
Acting as if I'm some kind of ghost
All right, next!
Come on! What's wrong with you guys?!
Nobody?! What a bunch of wimps!
Well, in that case
I will take you on.
Oh? You've got some guts, Ichigo.
But can you handle it?
You're still recovering, right? I'm not gonna hold back, you know!
So are you!
And you make it sound like I was sick.
I was just injured!
So? The word applies for injuries too!
No, it doesn't!
Then what would you call it? Huh?
Well, that would be
I don't know
See? You don't know! Go learn Japanese, idiot!
What about you?
All you do is shave your empty head!
Huh?!
All right! Let fight then! Whoever wins is right!
All right, come on!
I'll show you that Japanese is my favorite subject!
Hey!
Huh?
Huh?
Good Morning, Captain!
Good Morning, Captain!
Huh?
Oh, it's Ichigo.
Itchy, 'morning!
Are your wounds all right?
Y-Yeah!
Thankfully, I'm completely
fine.
I see That's great.
That means now I can fight you without holding back!
Face down
Huh? That the wrong guy!
Running away!
Kenny
This way, this way!
Hey, wait!
You're not getting away! Hold it!
My, my Rowdy as ever.
It's better than too quiet.
Why are you here so often?
What happened to Captain Komamura?
Well the thing is
My Captain wants to be alone for a while
Friend of Tosen, whose name I do not know
What would you have said to stop Tosen?
Oh
Captain Komamura
Do you think Captain Tosen will ever come back here again?
Of course.
Let find a way to open Tosen eyes.
I wouldn't have minded being your prisoner a little longer.
I'm sorry.
That's the thing I hate the most about you
So stupid.
Who is?
Whoa!
Y-You scared me!
I almost spilled over
Spill over what?
My boobs. Like this
You don't have to show me.
You have a guest.
Huh?
Kira.
Umm Matsumoto
Want some Soba buns?
I also have sake!
Huh?
No I'm already at my limit
What are you talking about? Come on, come on!
Matsumoto
Yes?
You know that time um
Hmm? It's okay Don't bother.
But
Yeah, you really came at me for real.
But I didn't even get a scratch!
Shock!
So
It's really all right.
Now that you came to see me like this.
Talking doesn't guarantee
that you'd understand everything about the person.
But you won't be able to understand anything
if you can't even see them anymore, you know.
Yeah
I suppose you're right.
Could you
Could you talk to her?
She's waiting for someone who needs her
to talk to her.
The way I am now
I don't know what to say to her
The way you are now ?
Excuse me.
All right! Finished!
We can't go back to the World of the Living
in Shihakusho, you know!
What do you think? Pretty nice, huh?
Isn't the design different?
It was more like
Yeah? Well, this is for you, Inoue.
Dye didn't come out too well,
so I tried to dress it up with lace,
and attached these small flowers with the same fabric at the bottom.
I-It's cute
Really?! I also made this!
This is for Kuchiki to wear when going back to the World of the Living.
It's a one-piece much like the one she used to wear.
This is also cute!
I think you're better at making women's clothes, Ishida.
Huh?
Oh Ooh ! I'm going to show this to Kuchiki!
Oh
What do you say, Sado? Could you try it on now?
Hmm?!
This sure is cute.
Kuchiki is going to like this.
She's been depressed lately.
But if she sees this, I'm sure she'll cheer up.
But I wonder why Ishida could make Kuchiki's clothes so well
I-I get it! Maybe Ishida likes Kuchiki!
I'm amazing! I noticed!
I, Orihime Inoue,
Female intuition!
age fifteen and starting to develop a sharp female intuition!
Big mistake!
Ah, it over here.
Kuchiki!
Huh?
Man, my legs hurt.
That Kenpachi Chasing me around like that
Jeez you've gotta be kidding.
Kurosaki!
Wh-What?!
Oh, it you, Inoue
What's with those clothes?
There something wrong
Kuchiki is
Huh?
Renji.
Why are you here?
Because I'm your lieutenant.
“Why are you still alive ?â€
That's what you're probably thinking, huh?
No way.
If you die, how could I aim to be stronger than you?
Captain I
Renji!
Shut up!
Huh?
What the hell do you want?
I was just about to say something heartfelt, damn it!
O-Oh sorry
Hey! Do you know where Rukia went?
What? What about Rukia?
N-No, never mind if you don't know.
Did you find out anything, Kurosaki?
Did you find Kuchiki?
How did you climb ?
Oh whatever.
Sorry! Renji, Byakuya! We're leaving!
Sorry to bother you Mr. Renji and Mr. Byakuya.
What's with them?
What's wrong, Captain?
Nothing
It just I wonder if he plans on calling me without titles.
Where're you going, Kurosaki?
Do you know where Kuchiki is?
I think so. If she's not with Renji
then she's got to be there!
I can't take it any more, Sis !
Of course you can! Give me a thousand more!
A-A thousand?!
P-Please Sis, my honorable wounds haven't healed yet.
Didn't I work hard this time?
Stop bluffing nonsense!
I heard you were practically useless half the time!
Wh-Who told you such a total truth!
I'll make you regret you came back alive!
Die! Die immediately! Die now!
What do you want?
Oh...!
H-Hold it, Sis! This is Rukia!
She the one that Ichigo went to great lengths to save
I know.
Huh?
Rukia Kuchiki.
She's the Soul Reaper who k*lled our older brother.
That's why I'm asking. What do you want?
That's why I'm asking. What do you want?
I'm sorry!
I know I should have come sooner to apologize.
But I'm such a coward who always running away
I couldn't bring myself to face you until now.
I'm sorry I'm really
Stop.
That enough! Don't apologize forever!
B-But
I said that enough.
Wha--?! Huh uh er ?
I've heard everything from Ukitake.
He told me that it wasn't your fault,
and that you're living with the biggest guilt.
So I've decided long time ago that if you said just one word of apology,
then I'd forgive you.
So
It's okay.
That's right. She
She knew Sir Kaien.
She knows what he would've wanted
I was only thinking of myself
I'm not even the one most pained by this
Thank you
I'm really sorry
I told you not to apologize.
Right umm Sorr I mean, thank you very much.
Ah! So you were here!
Ichigo Inoue
It seems like you're finished here.
Let's go back.
They said they'll open the gate to the World of the Living tomorrow.
You're still not fully recovered.
Go to bed early tonight to be ready for tomorrow.
Oh, that's right
I think you should be the first one to know this
I'm going to
stay here in the Soul Society.
I see.
That's good.
Huh?
I mean, if that's what you've decided
that you want to stay
then that what you should do.
I remembered why I was trying so hard to save you.
Hey, Ichigo! You finally showed up!
What were you doing?!
Oh no um
Kukaku, it's been a while!
You're going home tomorrow, huh? That's quick.
Have dinner with us! It'll please everyone!
No um but we
What? Are you going to make me repeat myself, too?
No um
Thank you very much for the invite!
Survival of the fittest
That's mine!
No, that's mine!
Too bad, I ate it!
Kukaku Shiba
Hey! Rukia!
Damn it! I really can't find her.
Where did she go?
Inoue, where are you?
Ichigo! Where the hell are you?!
Every one sure is full of free time
Wh-What is this?!
I can't drink anymore
S-Save me
Whoa! I thought I was going to die
What's wrong, Matsumoto?!
Did you know, Captain? I can't breathe if I lie face down!
No.
But if I lie on my back,
they get pulled to the sides and it hurts
Shut up!
This is the official Senkaimon.
Of course, I incorporated a Reishihenkanki for you.
Ichigo.
Yes?
This is for you.
What is this?
A Substitute Soul Reaper Combat Pass.
It our old custom to give this to a Substitute Soul Reaper
who is deemed useful to the Soul Society.
If you use this,
you can become a Soul Reaper whenever you want.
Of course, this won't make up for what you have done for us, but
That's all right.
I did it because I wanted to.
But, I'll gladly accept this.
This man is truly
Kuchiki, here! Ishida made it!
Wow, impressive.
But I'm no longer
You've got to wear it!
O-Oh okay
It's time!
See you, Rukia.
Yeah.
Thank you, Ichigo.
That's my line.
Thanks, Rukia.
Because of you, the rain has finally stopped.
Itchy's Spiritual Pressure disappeared
I see.
Why didn't you see them off?
Huh?
You may never see them again.
That'll never happen.
Huh?
You heard what Old Man said.
The fight isn't over!
We'll meet again.
Because we're a lot alike, he and I.
Kenny learned how to wait!
Don't say it like I'm a dog.
Official my butt! It's exactly the same as before!
Yoruichi, what the hell?!
Only Soul Reapers can use the Hell Butterfly!
Stop complaining, and run!
Look! We're almost at the exit!
Don't stop! Just run through it!
Locked on target!
Fire!
All right! Here it comes!
Jinta Home run?!
Tessai Death Catch!
Welcome back, everyone!
Urahara
Welcome back, Kurosaki.
You've heard about me, right?
Yeah.
I'm really sorry
Please stop.
It's fine.
I'm not mad.
You didn't really do anything bad.
Your motivation aside,
you did save us and made us stronger.
I'm thankful.
So
Please don't apologize.
Okay
But can I ask you just one thing?
You didn't tell me the truth
because you thought I'd be scared and run away?
Ah, exactly right!
Now that pisses me off!
I-I didn't expect the elbow
Also
Please apologize to Rukia.
Though she'll probably say the same thing.
Okay
Now then!
Mr. Urahara, can you drop me off around here?
Yes, yes! Got it!
See you later, Ishida!
If something comes up again, I'll be counting on you!
What are you talking about?
Did you forget, Kurosaki?
You're a Soul Reaper and I'm a Quincy.
The next time we meet, we'll be enemies.
You
See you later!
He sure is stubborn.
That for sure!
But that's the good part about Ishida.
You think so?
You're right.
Really?
You guys are so understanding.
Well then, I'll get off here!
Shall I drop you off at your house, Kurosaki?
Yeah, please
Sorry Urahara, actually here will be fine
Huh? But
See you later!
Wai--!
Kurosaki?
What's wrong, Yoruichi?
Hm? It just
It's been quite a long journey.
It sure has.
Say, Kisuke
Yes?
What going to happen now?
Let see
We started after we suffered a big defeat
So all we‘ve done is get things back to normal.
Kurosaki and the others have got their work cut out for them
I guess it depends on them.
We'll never die peacefully
Well, that can't be helped, can it?
I sense something between Yoruichi and Boss.
Like what?
Well
Ow!
Kurosaki Clinic
I'm home!
All the days gone by have made me what I am
Life not easy; that why I can go on.
To the people hurrying by,
“Have your dreams come true?â€
I'm still struggling
Forget returning to my youth; I want to live today well.
I was born timid.
Out where the sun shines I fisted my hand tight.
Break out of that place, that time, and I can change my life
But I could never express everything deep in my heart
Life not easy; that why I can go on.
Guess what going to happen in the next episode.
Doctor Isshin's hardcore Medical Drama!
Kon's Steamy Pink Diary!
A horror mystery
All wrong! Who was the last one?
It wasn't someone you know?
No. Agh, time's up
That sure is nostalgic
Illustrated Guide to Soul Reapers!
Golden!
Fish sticks?!
Oh thank goodness It was a dream
What'll I do I'm too afraid to sleep now
Maybe I'll go to Kiyone's
I wonder if she'll get mad
and say I shouldn't visit other barracks so late at night!
Hm?
Isane.
Y-Yes?
It's been quite a busy day, hasn't it?
Once you calm down, go get some good rest
Yes.
Tune in again!
