09x05 - Kibune Goes to w*r! The Violent Wind that Rages

[bunniefuu]

Trouble arises oversuccession rights

in one of Soul Society's high-rankingaristocratic families, the Kasumiohji Clan.

Their princess, Rurichiyo Kasumiohji,traveled to the World of the Living.

Ichigo reluctantly agrees tobecome her bodyguard.

Rurichiyo, who is unaware thather life is being targeted,

turns Ichigo's life upside downwith her naive behavior.

Elsewhere in the Soul Society,

Shusuke Amagai has becomethe new captain of Squad

and works hard to take onhis new responsibilities.

{\pos(,)}He went over there!

Get him!

We lost him! Which way?!

This way!

Hurry! Don't lose him!

Stay still.

I got you.

Third Seat Kibune.Good job!

You're putting too much effortinto this, Lieutenant Kira.

Lieutenant, please confirm.

Oh, okay.

MISSING CAT: MALE -AGE

No mistake, this is the cat.

Mission complete then.

Why are we chasing after missing catsfor the aristocrats, anyway?

Yesterday, it was security guardsfor a clothing store sale.

Recently, it's been nothingbut this kind of work.

I'm sure our captainhas his reasons.

What do you think, Lieutenant Kira?

Huh?

Well, that's I wonder.

I prefer work that I canbe more enthusiastic about.

Now, now

That aside,how about we go for a drink?

Sounds good.

Let's go.

How about you, Lieutenant Kira?

I have to write up our report.

Excuse me.

You're back, Izuru.

What's wrong?

No it's

I was a bit startled bybeing called by my first name.

I thought it would help mefit in with the squad more

by calling everyoneby their first name.

Don't like it?

UhwellIt takes some getting used to.

Oh, I see.

I thought it was a good idea.

Guess I'll think of something else.

Here is today's report.

Oh.

And

About tomorrow's schedule

What's this about doing wall repairsfor the Squad barracks?

Wall repair is just that,repairing a wall.

That's not what I'm trying to say.

Why do we have to do that?

The others in the squad are also

Kira, you may not likehearing this, but

Squad is the one

whose previous captain,Gin Ichimaru, betrayed us.

You understand, don't you?

Once you lose trust,it's difficult to gain it back.

I don't know how things will play out,but it's better to do this than not.

Relax, Kira.

Seeing you makes me think thatthe previous captain, Gin Ichimaru,

played too big of a rolein this squad.

Huh?

You're different from Ichimaru.No one expects the same from you.

Having a charismatic captain isone way to bring together a team.

But it can easily break downonce that pillar of support is gone.

That's why I want to re-build a new squadtogether with you and Kibune,

with the three of us acting asthe pillar of support for this squad.

So, what happenedto Third Seat Kibune?

Well

IZAKAYA KAMEGAMEYA

He's drinking with the others.

After the fight the other day,

Inose and the others seemed to havewarmed up to Third Seat Kibune.

I see.

Then I think I'll call it a day too.

If something's bothering you,go take a break and have some fun!

Huh? Um

See you later.

Have a nice evening, sir.

Today, you'll be trained ina new fighting method.

Recently, there's been an increasein strong enemies like the Menos.

Such as that Precipice World incidentfrom the other day.

From now on, you must practice

working together withyour fellow squad members in battle,

or else you'll die.

Anyway, this training is tomake sure that doesn't happen.

Kibune

Sir!

Pick one of these colored headbands.

I'm going to say a color

and those wearing that colorwill be the enemy.

The rest of you take onthe enemies in groups of three.

But, the enemy colorwill change periodically.

The moment I say another color,the roles will reverse.

This is to help you developyour decision-making reflexes.

Kibune, you get in the groupand lead this exercise.

Sir!

I will join too.

That's okay, Kira.

Huh?

I devised this battle method backwhen I was with the Expedition Unit.

I want Kibune, who's familiar withthe operation, to lead this training.

Yes, sir.

Sorry.

Let's go!

“ Yes, sir!“ Yes, sir!

First, purple!

Uh

Aida, come with me!

Yes, sir!

Inose! Join me in back!

Sir!

Next, yellow!

Next, red!

Good! Keep it up!

Amazing

Since when did everyonebecome so organized?

Captain Amagai'sfighting methods

are different from anythingwe've done before!

Captain Ichimaru never usedgroup fighting methods.

It actually felt like we could put upa good fight by working together!

Yeah!

I really like Captain Amagai's style!

And Third Seat Kibune too!

That guy seems more reliablethan Lieutenant Kira!

Soon there might bea change in Lieutenants.

Idiot, you're going too far!

Oops

Lieutenant Kira.

Huh?

Oh, Third Seat Kibune.

You're okaywith what they said just now?

Welluh

Is that so?

I must say, Third Seat Kibune,you're amazing.

Not at all.

I can't compare to how you,Lieutenant Kira,

have organizedSquad until now.

That's not true.

Everyone seems tohave accepted you.

More than me.

But

It's fine!Don't bother with me!

Oh, sorry. I'm a little tired.If you'll excuse me.

One more!

You're a strong drinker, Kira!

Okay, you can havesome of my drink!

You sure can drink.

SayDid something happen?

It's okay!

Squad is going tochange from now on!

It'll be different thanthe Squad before.

Okay, okay!

When the captain changes,

the atmosphere ofthe whole squad changes.

I can understand your confusion.

Thanks to Captain Amagai,Squad 's reputation has improved.

He's done goodin such a short time.

Ithink so to.

Then be proud!

If you act like this,how can I put it

that new Third Seat guyin Squad

Third Seat Kibune.

Yeah!

He could take awayyour title as Lieutenant!

Huh?!

That's right,I'm unreliable anyway.

Iba!

Huh? Uh Yeah

Uh oh,I think we touched a nerve.

Welcome!

Party of two, this way!

“ Welcome!“ Welcome!

Do you have a private room?

Yes, we do!

Speak of the devil.

Why's he with Captain Kyoraku?

So, cheers.

I'm happy to havebeen invited for a drink

with the new squad captaineveryone's talking about.

I'm still new to this role,

so getting to know the senior membersis also part of my job.

So, what is it you wantedto talk with me about?

I'll be straight with you.

Sounds good.I don't like beating around the bush.

About the Thirteen CourtGuard Squads

Would it be possible for the squadsto work more closely together?

That'sa difficult subject.

I don't expect to be able todo so right away, but at this rate

Now, don't get so excited.

Oh I'm sorry.

But, I like your thinking.It's not bad.

You understand!

Amagai, you're youngbut you're pretty thoughtful.

Oh no! Not at all.

I know!

If we're talking about these things,maybe we should talk with Ukitake too.

You mean the captain of Squad?

Yeah. This doesn't meanI won't cooperate.

I just don't like taking the lead.

So, next time,let's call on Ukitake and talk.

What do you think?

By all means!

Okay! Let's start againwith a toast!

Huh? You're not drinking?

NoIuh

Come on.

Thank you!

Hey, hey, hey!

Don't tell meyou can't drink?!Really?

Lieutenant Kira, East Area ,no unusual activity.

Good job, Third Seat Kibune.

All's quiet in the inner court.

Is that so?

That's good to know.

Is something wrong?

Uh, no It's nothing.

Oh, yes!How about some tea?

Lieutenant Kira.

What is it?

Sorry for beingso rude in asking but,

why do you alwaysseem so unconfident?

Huh?

Well

Uh

Urgent message?!

There's a suspicious shadownear the execution grounds.

Lieutenant!

Lieutenant! Third Seat!

Uh You are

Shinta Seko.

Sorry, I couldn'tremember your name.

That's okay.

I'm still new anddon't have a seat ranking yet.

Where did it happen?

Near this hole.

I saw the suspicious shadow earlier,and tried to go after it.

What happened?

Well

It seems to have disappearedinside this hole.

Inside the execution grounds?!

Nothing would survivethis fall, right?

At this rate

Lieutenant!

Third Seat Kibune

Are you all right?

I'll be fine.

I see.

But why didthe ground suddenly

It's impossible to climb up.

There should bean entrance somewhere

that brings inthe criminals here.

Let's look for it.

Yes.

This Spiritual Pressure

This is

Why in a place like this?

So many

But if it's only this level of Hollow

Stop it!

Rampage

Reppu!

Third Seat Kibune

This is bad!If the Hollows get outside

What is he doing?

Raise your head, Wabisuke!

What are you doing,Third Seat Kibune?!

Just putting andend to the Hollows.

But, what about Seko?

That fool has failed to carry outhis duties as a Soul Reaper.

Falling into enemy hands,and now lying before us in disgrace.

What?

As one who has taken upthe role of a Soul Reaper,

he should be preparedto die in battle.

By becoming a burden,this scum has endangered us all.

He doesn't deserve to live.

How could you say such a thing?

Why do you attemptto save that scum?

You're too soft!

What?!

It's that attitude of yours

that made you fail to preventthe former captain's rebellion beforehand.

Isn't that right?!

That's

I

It appears you lackthe will as well.

Hey!

Are you guys all right?

Captain Amagai

Captain! A member was attackedby Hollows and is heavily injured!

Wait there!

I'll have the med crewget down there!

Please!

Captain, what about the Hollowsthat fled into the sky?

Yeah, some squad members nearbysaw it and informed me.

We took care of it.

Is that so? Sorry.

We've transported Sekoto the Squad facility.

However, his wounds are deep.We're not sure if he'll survive.

I see

And about the groundthat collapsed

There are traces of it beingmade to collapse that way.

Was there anything you noticed?

Is something wrong, you two?

Uh That is

No, nothing.

What? So strange of you two.

You! What are you going to doabout my test Hollows?!

Were those Hollowsfrom Squad ?

Yes

It seems someone hasunlocked the testing facility

and had freed all the Hollows.

Who would do that?

How should I know?!

Nemu!

You weren't watching carefully,and this is what happened!

You fool!

I'm sorry, Master Mayuri.

Damn it,I'm really upset!

Captain of Squad !You, too!

Why didn't you tryto keep them alive?!

I can't do my tests now!

Now, nowDon't get angry.

What is it?!

There's no one here.

A malfunction?

Abarai, why where youwith Iba today?

He forced me come with himto discuss the future of

the Men's Soul ReaperAssociation.

There's no chance against the Women'sSoul Reaper Association, anyway.

You're so right.

It's that kind of attitudethat gets us ridiculed!

Illustrated Guide to Soul Reapers.

Ichigo Kurosaki
