Orihime has been abductedby the Arrancars.
In order to save her,Ichigo, Ishida, Sado, Rukia, and Renji
have marched into Hueco Mundo,the world of the Hollows.
They crush the Arrancarsstanding in their way and
finally make their way to Las Noches,Aizen's headquarters.
Awaiting Ichigo and his friendsin Las Noches
was a path that split five waysand disturbing Spiritual Pressures.
We're going into battle now!
Believe...that our bladescannot be broken!
Believe...that our heartswill not yield!
Even if we lose our way,our iron will is one!
Vow...that even if the earth splits,we will come back to this place alive!
Waiting down the path that Ichigo chosewas Arrancar Ciento Tres, Dordoni.
Ichigo is baffled bythe strange actions and words
of this Arrancarwith a triple-digit number.
But when he decidesto fight him seriously,
Dordoni's moves suddenly change.
My, my
Don't judge peopleby their appearances, niño.
We're known asthe Privaron Espada.
All those who have triple-digit numbers,including me, were once Espada.
Whirl! Giralda!
Is that all you've got, niño?!
This Spiritual PressureIt's Ichigo.
Crap!
I sense a terrible presenceall around.
Wh-What?
What's this Spiritual Pressure?!
S-So it was you!Don't surprise me!
What are you doing here?!
Ne Ne
Ne?!
What about Ne? Tell me!
Nel!
I'm looking for Nel!
Then why did you come to me?!
I know! You're lost!
You got lost, didn't you?!
Where is Nel?!
I don't know!You really are lost!
I thought it was strange!
You had no reason inchoosing to come to me!
Nel
Nel went after Ichigo.
It'll be terrible if we don't hurry!
Shut up!
She's safe if she's with Ichigo!
Don't cry. It's scary!
Th-That's not it.
If weIf we don't find Nel quickly
If we don't find Nel and stop her
Nel will
Nel will
He's running away!
Why are you running away?!
It's a reflex!
It's because you'rechasing after me!
Your face is How should I put this?It's thoroughly terrifying!
Please, stop!
I'm getting to the good partof the story!
You stop, first!
Anyway, you have tosearch for Nel, right?!
Turn back!
Nel!
Ichigo!
Come on! Come on, come on!Come on, come on!
Use your Bankai, niño!
Otherwise you'll die!
Saving your spiritual poweragainst an opponent like me
That's about as sweetas chocolate.
Why don't you understand?!
You're being unreasonable, niño.
Use your Bankai
I want to see you at full power.
Getsuga
tensho!
Oh?
Ichigo!
Are you all right, Ichigo?!
Oh? I commend youon your actions just now.
But now you understand, right?
At this rate, you don'thave a chance at winning.
Don't assume that.
I'm not making assumptions.
I'm merely stating the truth!
Getsugatensho!
Not falling for that again!
I'll use it again.
I'll keep using it untilyou change your mind.
It's difficult for me too.
Or I should say it'sa little troublesome?
I want to see your Bankai.
But if I don't continueto hold back
You'lldieright?!
This would be all for nothingif that happened!
Ichigo!
Ichigo, this is bad!
You're really going to die, Ichigo!
Ichigo!
That bebé is worriedabout you, too.
Come on, niño, use your Bankai!
Wha?!
Getsuga--!
I told you not tounderestimate me, niño!
Crap!
Kids who don't listen
need to be punished.
Cero.
Cero.
N-Nel?!
She stopped...my Cero?!
Sh-She swallowed it?!
H-Hey, Nel, are you all right?
D-Don't bemean toIchigo.
Nel!
I don't know who you are, bebé.
But you are impressive.
I never expected you to deflect my Cerowhile I was in my released form.
But
Don't you think you'regetting a little too unruly?
Get lost!
If you want to see it that badly
Then I'll show it to you!
Sorry to keep you waiting,old man.
This is my Bankai!
I see I've beenwaiting for this, niño.
I-Ichigo
Sorry, Nel.
You got hurt because I was beingstubborn over something silly.
I came here and decided that in orderto fight on the same level as the Espada,
I shouldn't use my Bankaiagainst anyone else.
How silly!
You think so?
It's important for those who wantstrength to restrain themselves.
I think it's wonderful.
It's not a reason worth upholdingjust to let my friends get hurt.
Does that mean thatyou're not after strength?
Are you saying that youwant to protect your friends
and that strength is onlya method to achieve that?
You're very kind, niño.You're like a saint.
But you have a stronger form,don't you?
I know aboutyour Hollowfication.
We've received the recordsof all the battles
that have happenedin your World of the Living.
You have a technique that makes youmore like a Hollow
and massively increasesyour battle power.
Use it!
I see! What impressiveSpiritual Pressure!
But
I thought I said
I want to see you at full power!
I'll use
any means, niño!
You bastard!
What's wrong?
Are you mad, niño?
What are you mad about?
If your goal is toprotect your friends,
then my goal is to defeat youwhen you're at full strength.
In order to do that,I will go after that bebé instead of you.
That's all.
Don't you
have any shame?!
I do!
I am ashamedthat I cannotfight you when you're serious!
Any other shameful thing isnothing compared to that, niño!
All right.
Nel, stand back for a moment.
There's fine.
It's all right
I won't let the slightest bit ofSpiritual Pressure get past me.
Ichigo
Oh?
Sorry, but I can only show itto you for an instant.
That's more than enough.
I see.
That'sgood.
Wonderful! What a wonderfulSpiritual Pressure!
I'm deeply movedby the fact that
I can fight sucha wonderful enemy, niño!
Come on! This time
Let's trade blowsat full strength, niño!
Wh-What?
I told you
It was only an instant.
What a shame
I knew that oncewe got the Hogyoku,
the former Espadawould become useless.
I stayed with Lord Aizeneven with knowledge of that fact.
But
What?!
What are you doing?!
I'm drooling on you.
I can see that!
I'm asking you whyyou're drooling on me!
Shut up
What are you makinga fuss about, Don Panini?
It's Dordoni!
PANINI
What kind of delicious-sounding name is that?!
She says her saliva hasweak healing properties.
Right, Nel?
Yes! So if Nel does this
Wh-What are you doing?!
It's saliva!
That's not saliva! It's vomit!
If Nel squeezes Nel's uvula,then a lot of saliva comes out!
And I'm telling you it's vomit!
Anyway, a lady shouldn't talk aboutthat kind of thing!
It's saliva
It's vomit.
I lose.
It feels good
My body was full of power and my heartwas filled with the desire to win.
I was confident that I could blockyour attack whenever you struck,
and strike back at you.
I didn't let down my guard.
But
I couldn't see it.
You're strong, niño.
That's not true.
I wanted to becomean Espada again.
The Espada are Lord Aizen'sfaithful servants.
But Lord Aizen probablyonly thinks of the Espada
as nothing morethan tools to fight.
I know thatbut
Those who have stood at the topnever forget the view from there.
It was incredibly pleasant there.
I thought that if I defeated youwhen you were at full strength,
Lord Aizen would acknowledgemy strength once again.
And I could return to the Espada.
That's why I urged youto transform into a Hollow.
And my feelings
still have not changed!
You bastard
Why are you surprised?
The fact that you healed the woundsof an enemy that you don't know,
means that you were preparedfor a counterattack!
Am I wrong?
Stop!
You haven't recoveredenough to move!
Wounds are madeto one's spirit, niño.
As long as my will to fight recovers,my physical wounds mean nothing.
That's why I say you'relike chocolateniño!
There's a stage showthat involves whips
prepared for the Quincy boyin the next episode.
I guess I'll watch itover a cup of tea.
Take that, and that,and that, and that!
I don't approve ofa stage show like this!

Do you think that Squads and can work as bodyguards?
{\an}
That's impossible.
It's not a top secret mission, so Captain Soi Fon won't come,
and Captain Komamuradoesn't want to appear before people.
What about Squad ?
It seems that he can't come
because he had to take careof the carp at his house.
He ran away
