13x24 - Muramasa's True Identity Revealed

[bunniefuu]

Zanpakuto

Their shape and abilities arebased on their Soul Reaper's soul.

Soul Reapers gain power

by learning their namesand synergizing with them.

They are born with Soul Reapersand die with Soul Reapers.

That is what Zanpakuto are.

What the hell happenedto Muramasa?!

My bodyhot

Settle down!

Koga

Koga

Koga

Koga!

Getsugatensho!

Why're Hollows coming outof Muramasa's body?!

It's likely that he's no longerable to suppress

the Spiritual Pressureof the Hollows,

that he had somehow absorbed

He gave up everythingfor Koga's sake

He even exceededhis own limitations—

it's as though he's only existeduntil now through sheer will power

Koga

What's that?!

They're

This is bad!

It looks like Muramasa'sSpiritual Pressure

is attracting Hollowsin the vicinity!

Then I'll take them onall at once!

Damn!

Huh?

Ishida!

Against these numbers,

it looks like my bowis more appropriate

than your sword that's hugebut nothing more.

You're so nice to have around—like bug spray.

Shut up!

Kurosaki! Kuchiki!

Chad! Inoue!

Santenkesshun!

Nice, Inoue.

Damn

What's going to happento Muramasa?!

Thiscan't be

Not yet

I still have

Come to meMuramasa

What's the matter?

Muramasa

Why won't you respond?

I'm calling for you!

Murama

I'm all right now.

Koga

If he hadn't possessedsuch power,

he would not havehad such delusions

It was the fate ofa weak-hearted man

consumed and controlled by power

He was the exact opposite of you,

who willingly allowed himselfto be branded a traitor,

in order to stick to your beliefs.

Now you can finallyreturn to where you belong.

You talk too much,Senbonzakura.

What is that?!

Are the Hollows beingsucked toward him?

Is thatMuramasa?!

It looks almost like an Arrancar!

A Zanpakuto is of one mind and

one body withits Soul Reaper master

It attaches itself to the soul ofits master and coexists with him

Are you saying that in orderto maintain his physical form,

he needed a source of energyto replace his Soul Reaper master?

He probably had to take in Hollowsin order to maintain his body

Then the energy thatdeflected my power was

It goes to showhow deep his feeling

and obsessiontowards Koga was.

But for it to end in such a way

W-Why?

You have become nothingbut a hindrance to me.

I don't need to usean unstable sword like you—

my powers alone are enough.

A Zanpakuto is merely a tool.

Damn

If we don't do something,

his Spiritual Pressure mightenvelop all of Karakura Town

We have to stop himbefore that happens!

Right!

He's coming!

He's fast!

Those eyes

It looks so lonely

He so desperatelysought after his master,

only to be abandoned

It's too cruel.

Brother!

You're all right.

Byakuya! Did you defeat Koga?

Did you think I would lose?

Yeah, right.

You look pretty beat up.

Brother, we need totreat your injuries

Never mind that

Right now,he is our main concern

I never expected himto unleash a Sero

He's completelybecome a Hollow

I won't give in

Not to the power of Hollows

I won't give in

What?

Is hefighting the Hollows he absorbed?

This is all wrong

Inoue!

Stop! Don't fight anymore!

The person you were lookingfor no longer exists!

It's no use, Inoue!

The way he is now,he can't listen to reason

No He hasn't completelybeen possessed by Hollows yet

In the depths of despair,

he's still fighting desperatelyto maintain his identity

What?!

I won't give inI won'tgive in

Koga

Is he still seeking Koga,even though he's become like that?

What tenacity

It's meaningless to do this

You'll only cause yourselfmore suffering

Solet's stop this.

I won't give inI won'tgive

Inoue, get away from him!

Why you—!

Are you okay, Inoue?

Yesit's nothing.

Can't we save himfrom his sadness?

Getsugatensho!

Huh?

Stop it!

Damn! The Hollowsare swarming again!

Sado, we'll split upand take care of them!

El Directo!

Hado , Sokatsui!

Scatter, Senbonzakura.

Muramasa!

Getsugatensho!

I won'tgivein

What the—?!

Kurosaki!

Ichigo!

No Kurosaki'sSpiritual Pressure is

It can't be

What is this?

The Spiritual Pressureof the Hollows

that Muramasa took ininduced this

Inoue?

I have to go and saveKurosaki and Muramasa

It's dangerous! Stay back!

But

This isn't good!

Garganta is opening up

And we're in a bad situation

Scatter, Senbonzakura!

Tsuginomai Hakuren!

Sodenoshirayuki

I'm sorry it took so long.

Sodenoshirayukiwhy are you here?

It's not just me.

Hey.

There are others who'vecome to help, as well!

Wow! Zanpakuto are incredible!

There are so manydifferent types!

There's a cat, a snake

And a dog, too.

You're right! It's so cute!

If it were a bit smaller,I'd want to keep it as a pet.

Come here, boy!

That's actuallyCaptain Komamura.

The Arrancar Encyclopedia

That's odd

What's the matter?

You look like there's a problem

There is a sudden decrease inthe number of Menos recently.

Huh?

Could someone bepoaching Menos?

Hold on a second, Tosen

Don't tell me you were alsomanaging the Menos?

Why of course.

Checking their health condition,knowing what foods they're eating

Keeping watch over each individualis the way to raise the best Menos.

So where exactly are yougoing to sell them off to?
