04x23 - Rangiku Dances! Slice the Invisible Enemy!

[bunniefuu]

Woke up with yawning, it's dawning

I'm still alive

Turned on my radio To start up new day

As goddamed D.J. chattered

How to survive

Amazing news got over On that air wave

Tonight, Love is rationed

Tonight, Across the nation

Tonight Love reflects world wide

Almost another day

She's a sh**ting star

Good-night, good-night

She's a sh**ting star

Good-bye…

Tonight, Love is rationed

Tonight, Across the nation

Tonight Love reflects world wide

Almost another day

See you some other day

Jeez…

The basis of the Zaraki Squad is one-on-one battles.

Yumichika said that and just left right away. Him aside…

Why would Shuhei and Kira also go off as soon as we arrived?!

This trip to the World of the Living is an order from my captain!

Doesn't that make me the leader?

I'm going to complain about them to the Captain when I get back!

Isn't…

That's…

It sure is nice…to be young.

I think I'll take my time and have a taste for the first time in a while.

Why do you suck the souls of living people?

Who knows?

Stop attacking people!

I…want more power.

What do you plan to do when you gain power?

What I'll do…?

I can't tell you…

Hey there!

It's been a while! How have you been, Chad?

Rangiku… Why are you here?

Well… I'm really glad I met you!

It's seems that you're having a bit of trouble here.

My captain suddenly told me to come to the World of the Living.

I just arrived.

You know how Lieutenants like me can't come to the World of the Living too often…

It's been so long, I don't know what's going on at all.

But the World of the Living sure is great…

There are so many interesting things going on.

Umm… Rangiku.

What? Oh. Are those two friends of yours?

It seems like they're looking at me.

I'm Ururu.

Noba…

I'm Rangiku Matsumoto.

Lieutenant of Tenth Squad. Pleased to meet you!

Pleased to meet you.

A pleasure.

So what are you all doing here?

A Bount.

A Bount?

Yeah…

That old man?

No mistake.

It's true, Soul Reaper Lady.

Really?

Oh, well.

I guess I'll show you…some proof.

Baura, let's go!

Is that your doll?

That's right.

What kind of joke is this?

His Spiritual Pressure…disappeared?

Noba… Do you sense anything?

Jump!

What…was that?

Whale?

A shark?

It looks like a rockfish.

It doesn't matter what kind of fish it is!

There's no response!

Behind you!

Rangiku!

Noba!

Ow…ow…ow…

Thank you!

What's with that?! I'm thanking you!

Look this way… Hey, you!

He's bashful.

You've escaped death.

Let me introduce him. This is my doll, Baura.

You called me out on a nice night. It feels good.

It talked?

Dolls have their own minds.

Humph…I see.

Baura can control space.

He can create special alternate dimensional spaces

and swim freely within them.

It seems that boy over there has a similar ability.

Even so. His power is outclassed.

Are you sure about that?

What an arrogant boy!

Shall we show him our difference in power,

Baura?

We're the ones who are going to show you our difference in power!

Growl! Haineko!

Baura!

Okay, Boss.

Come back!

Rangiku… Why?

That Soul Reaper's judgment was correct.

If she didn't return that ash, Baura would have eaten it all.

She would have lost her Zanpakuto.

What?!

It seems his mouth is also connected to an alternate dimensional space.

Just when I thought I was going to get a Soul Reaper's Zanpakuto.

Yes, Ms Rangiku Matsumoto. What can I do for you?

Freeze the space up to meters around me!

And soul protection!

Understood.

Help Kira and Shuhei in the same way!

Yes! But we have a report that

Lieutenant Abarai charged into battle without soul protection

and was injured while protecting a human.

Renji?!

What's wrong?

It seems that everyone is having a difficult time.

The space around here has been protected by the power of Soul Society.

Now we can let loose!

I see…

All right!

Hado ! Byakurai!

It's pointless to att*ck him while he's in a dimensional space!

He went your way!

You're being pesky!

That girl's pretty good!

This way!

He sucked in the att*ck.

It's useless from the front.

What should we do?

Noba, I've been wondering,

you know when he's going to att*ck?

He creates ripples in space, when he surfaces from

the alternate dimensional space.

Can you predict in advance?

I only sense him right before he appears.

Which means we can only manage to just barely dodge.

How does he know where we are?

He is probably utilizing something like sonar radar.

Sonar radar?

I sense a subtle wave of spiritual pressure from within the ground.

Then can't we trace that to find where he is?

It's too weak.

We can't do anything?

He chases us by swimming through the ground.

It seems all right if we're in a high place.

Let's think of a plan in the meanwhile.

Yes!

Ururu!

Ururu!!

I'm so glad that you're safe.

Ururu!

Chad!

This way!

Where is he?

He's not behind us.

What's with him?

Does that mean that it doesn't matter

if it's high or low, but it works, as long as there's a wide surface?

That's right.

One down.

The little lady is safe.

Baura's belly is connected to an alternate dimensional space.

I'm having her stay there for a while.

But…

she can't live there for long periods of time.

What?

Bounts usually only eat souls.

But only Baura and I can

engulf, dissolve and absorb an entire human body.

You bastard… Give Ururu back!

You're next!

I'm going to devour you into Baura's space one by one.

Go, Baura!

Okay.

I won't let you! Roar, Haineko!!

It doesn't matter! Just swallow them!

What?!

Diving into the ground was your specialty, wasn't it?

Y-You bastard!

And…

you should watch your head!

What?!

Blasted Soul Reaper. She's making a fool of me!

They haven't gone that far.

We're going after them, Baura!

Okay.

Is it really safe here?

It should be safe.

He can't make any exits in space if he doesn't have a space wide enough.

Is that so?

I sense enormous energy when he moves through space.

He can't physically open it up in cramped spaces.

Chad!

I won't tell you not to worry, but this is not your fault.

My power is…

It should be the power to protect someone.

At this rate…

Find out why you have those…

big strong fists.

I'll hit him for you.

I'll risk my life to protect it if it's something you'd risk your life to do.

At this rate…there's no meaning to it.

Chad…you…

Now let's go save Ururu.

Calm down.

What were you planning to do? Do you have some sort of plan?

I would take her place.

Out of the question!

There's no way that he'd release Ururu because of that!

They only think of humans as food!

We've got to think of a plan.

Umm…

What?

I can suck him into my space.

Tell me more!

He has an alternate dimensional space within his body.

I'll extinguish his energy by surrounding him with my power.

If I do that, I should be able to move everything he's swallowed through space.

Is that possible?

It should work in the same way

that alternate dimensional spaces are created by spiritual energy.

It's possible.

Hmm… That's the only method, huh?

All right. What should we do?

I want you to lure him in front of me without him noticing.

All right. I'll be the decoy.

Wait!

I'll be the decoy!

Support me from the back!

But…

Then you'll be in danger!

Chad!

Who do you think you're talking to?

A-All right…

All right! Then, let's go!

Come on! Both of you, stop wasting time. Come on all ready!

Hey, Gramps! You're nearby, aren't you?!

Come out already!

I'm right here!

Your att*cks are predictable!

Hold on, Chad! Stop! I can't tell where he is!

Wh-What's wrong, Baura?!

What?!

You fell for it!

Boy!

Curse you youngsters!

Do you know how many souls I've sucked in order to gain this power?!

I won't lose to the likes of you!

What?!

Noba!

No problem.

Thank goodness…

Are you all right?

Where's Ururu?

Yeah… Immediately.

What's wrong, Noba?!

Noba?!

Noba!

Don't come near me…

Could it be?!

What?!

Noba--!

Get a hold of yourself!

Noba…

You've been quite entertaining,

but you're years too early to be sealing us away.

Shall we put an end to this already?

Sky blue dreams shine and flicker, dancing away into the sky.

The flowers glow and fade away.

The sky falls silent,

as a pair of dreamy fireworks (Hanabi) lit up.

I will sing my piercing love to you.

Can you hear my voice?

Blooming in an instant are fireworks (Hanabi)

Sky blue dreams shine and flicker, dancing away into the sky.

Blossom away in full bloom, high above

Protect and keep those feelings thriving

Strongly, at least till the very end.

These flowers will glow and fade away

I'm hungry…

Why don't we all go out to eat after we defeat those Bounts?

I want to eat a sashimi meal.

I'll have a fried fish meal.

I want something refined, like boiled fish and a drink!

How can you eat fish after fighting someone like that?

No problem.

No problem.

The Golden Illustrated Guide to Soul Reapers after these messages!!

Illustrated Guide to Soul Reapers!

Golden!

We've received a report from the Seventh Seat, Yamada.

I see. So what does it say?

Yes! Well, that bastard… Oh, I mean,

Yamada is blathering on… I mean, he says that he's got a part time job

in the World of the Living and that every day is fun.

Really… I'm envious. I mean, he's slacking off

while we have to handle strenuous tasks like this everyday. Yes!

I see. Thank you.

Excuse me.

Really. I can't believe him--!

He seems to be enjoying himself…

Tune in again!
