Wow! A frog, a frog!

That hurts!

Why did you do thatout of the blue?!

I should ask you the same thing.

We just got here, and alreadyyou're going after frogs?

Get serious!

Okay, I got it!

I was just looking at them!

Listen.

I brought you two with meto the World of the Living

so we can quickly capturethose Sword Beasts.

Stop fooling around.Let's go.

Yeah, I know.

What's wrong, Snake?

We're splitting up tolook for them, right?

We can't split up ifyou don't remove this.

You won't fool around, will you?

I won't. I absolutely won't.

It's near by!

Let's go!

Roar! Zabimaru!

Roar

Not good enough!

The same goes for you!

Damn it!

You're not getting away!

He's fast!

Snake is in that direction.

He's finished!

Damn it!

Snake! There he goes!

Hey!

Look at this, Monkey!

I caught a big fish

Huh?

Out of the way!

Damn it.What are you doing, snake?!

No matter. He's injured.

He can't have gone far.

Honestly

This always happenswhen I remove your chain.

You know what toexpect afterwards, right?

Anyway, let's go after him.

Yes.

What's her problem?

It's not oftenI get to move on my own.

I can have a little fun, can't I?

Is he injured?!

In that case,I can handle him by myself!

Hey!

He found me.

Why don't you give up?

I'm finally able to be on my own.

I'm not going to give that up!

On your own?

Is it really that great?

That's right.

Being on your ownis great, boy.

You get to roam freelyat your own will.

A miracle we could usuallynot have experienced.

A miracle?

That's right.

Come on, spare me.

If you do, you can alsobecome your own man.

If you capture me,you'll be restrained again!

You know what toexpect afterwards, right?

Wait!

Damn it.He got away again.

Why are you juststanding there?!

Well Umm

You didn't let him go, did you?

Sh-Shut up!

I didn't let him escape!

I have no choice.

I'm sorry, Snake.

Wait a second!

I don't want to bechained up all the time!

But you're clearly beinga hindrance, Snake.

You're calling me a hindrance?!

Do you really want tofinish this mission

and become a regularZanpakuto that badly?!

You've got to be kidding me!

I'm finally able to be on my own.

I'm not going to give that up!

I'm finally able tomove around on my own!

I don't want to beconnected to you again!

You bastard!

Stop.

Not now.

I can't stick with them!

I'm my own man!

My own?

Being on my own means

That's right!I can do anything I want!

All right! What's the first thingI want to do?

I've always wanted toeat all I wanted

without anyonegetting mad at me!

I'm digging in!

Wait one second!

What do you want?

Are you kidding me?!

You can't eat that without paying!

Huh?

What's wrong witheating what I want?

I'll pummel you if you interfere!

Excuse me!

There's a kid who's trying toeat without paying!

You idiot!Don't draw attention to me!

I can't have Monkey and Renjifind out about this!

What's wrong?

A strange kid istrying to steal rice balls

There's no one there.

Huh?

JeezWhat's that kid's problem?

Being your own man is great!

I can do whatever I want,whenever I want!

I can't do this whenI'm with Monkey!

Excuse me.

I'd like this chicken breastand a pack of eggs.

Okay.Chicken breast and eggs.

“ Here you go.“ Hey!

“ Thank you.“ Give me this chicken leg and eggs!

Thank you very much.

And what would you like to order?

“ Hey! Old man!“ Let's see, I'll have

“ I want this chicken leg and eggs!“ fifteen chicken wings for tonight.

“ You got it, pretty lady!“ Hey, old lady!

I was here first!

“ Why are you cutting in line?“ Oh, you're so flattering!

All right, you can addthose breast meats there too.

Okay!

Can't they see me?

Then

How could that kid see me?

Is that so?

This soft serve ison the firmer side.

The soft serve is hard.

“ What is that?“ Doesn't it look delicious?

I don't know what it is,but it all looks delicious.

What's wrong, Karin?

Huh? Well, it's that kidfrom the convenience store

Huh? A kid?

Yeah, this strangely dressed kid.

Strangely dressed?Hmm There isn't anyone.

Oh, I get it.

Only I can see him.

Hey!

That kid from earlier!

You're a kid too!

Shut up! I'm not a kid!

Hey, who are you talking to?

A strangely-dressed kid.

Who're you callingstrangely dressed?!

And you're a kid too!

Why hello,strangely-dressed person.

Hey! Over here!

Are you hungry?

You're drooling.

I-I'm not drooling!

Anyway,that's none of your business!

Oh yeah? Then never mind.

Let's go, Yuzu.

Okay.

What's the deal with that kid?!

L-Like I'd ever eat that!

I'll never eat it!

I don't need that kidto give me things!

Hey!

What is it?

Well Umm Uhh

Do you want more rice balls?

N-No way!

Who'd want those?!

Besides, I haven't eaten it!

I'm amazed you cantell such an obvious lie.

Hey, aboutthe strangely-dressed person

Maybe he's still hungry?

What?Do ghosts get hungry too?

I'm not a ghost!

I'm a Zanpakuto!

Zanpakuto?

Okay

Hey, how about we do this?

Let's invite the strangely-dressedperson to our house!

What?!

What's wrong?

Are you that worriedabout Snake?

That's not it.

Then what?

Acting like a Sword Beast

How pathetic.

You're not very honest withyour feelings, are you?

Renji!

Ichigo!

I thought it wasyour Spiritual Pressure.

What's going on?

Oh. You probably heard about it.

We're here to capturethose Sword Beasts.

Oh, Zabimaru's with you?

Huh?

Wasn't there also a kid?

He ran off.

He's probablysomewhere in the area.

Sorry to keep you waiting.

It's hot, so drink it slowly.

Hey, over here!

Dad and Brother Ichiaren't here right now,

but if they come back,I want you to hide somewhere.

I'm sure that Brother Ichican see you.

Who's Brother Ichi?

Our older brother.

Do you always hangaround other people?

So what if we do?

It's so lame.

I'm my own man.

I can do anythingwhen I'm on my own!

Yet you couldn'tget anything to eat.

Besides, there's nothing coolabout being on your own.

What?!You get to be your own man!

Of course it's cool!

Where areyour mother and father?

I don't have any.

I don't have any!

I told you, I'm a Zanpakuto!

I don't really understand.

Here! This is our brother's flan,but you can have it.

You're hungry, right?

I keep telling you, I'm over here!

Why do you thinkI'm over there?!

I-It's delicious!

I've never had anything so good!

By the way, what is your name?

It's Zabimaru. What's yours?

Karin.

This is

I'm Yuzu.

Karin and Yuzu, huh?

All right!

So what shall we play?!

I said, I'm over here!

I can't do this!

What? You can't?

Then

I don't get it at all!

I guess ghosts can't play games.

I told you, I'm not a ghost!

Did you know?

Cooking in a rice cookeris really popular now!

I have a soft spotfor popular things,

so I was quick to pick this up!

“ We're going to make Dongpo pork“ Is he enjoying it?

“ with a rice cooker!“ Seems like it.

“ You may think you're cooking rice,“ We should have watched TV

“ but you're actually“ from the beginning.

“ making Dogpo pork!“ Yeah

The finished Dongpo pork

“ comes out round!“ Amazing

It's supposed to have corners!

HeyHow does this thing work?

I'm home!

What's going on?Are they both sleeping?

I can't eat anymore.

Hey!

Huh?

Why are you in my house?!

And who are you?

I'm Ichigo Kurosaki!The Substitute Soul Reaper!

Substitute Soul Reaper?

I don't know whyyou're in my house,

but Renji and the othersare worried about you.

How do you know about Renji?!

You're Renji's Zanpakuto, right?

Aren't you supposedto go back to him?!

Shut up!That's none of your business!

What's wrong?

How dare you bring meto this place!

This isn't funny at all!

Hey!

Wait!

Karin!

Damn it!Everyone's ganging up on me.

Hey

You!

I see you're still on your own.

Well?

Are you enjoying your freedom?

Thanks to you,

I was able to buy the timeI needed to heal my wounds.

All that's left is to takeall of you down one by one!

So that's what your plan was!

I can take you on by myself!

Zabimaru?!

Roar!

Where do you thinkyou're looking at?!

Not bad.

But

Don't underestimate me!

What's this?!

I told you!

I can take you on by myself!

Damn it

Zabimaru!

That kid!

Karin!

Don't worry.

That was just to scare you.

But if you don't stop attacking,she's done for.

Damn it

You fool!

In the end, you got to experiencethe freedom of being on your own.

You should thank me!

You sure are a stubborn kid.

But I won't give upmy freedom to anyone!

I don't need somestupid master or friends!

I feel sorry for you.

It's pretty nice being with people.

Don't make me laugh!

Die!

Good job on keeping him busy!

Now leave the rest to us!

Right?

It took some time,

but it seems letting you go outon your own did pay off.

Right, Snake?

Karin!

You?

She's all right.

She'll wake up eventually.

Thanks.

Are you going?

Listen.

Don't tell Karin or Yuzuabout me.

Huh?

Promise me.

What's wrong?

Where's Zabimaru?

You're finally up.

Brother Ichi, where's Zabimaru?

What are you talking about?

No.

It's nothing.

Are you all right with that?

Yeah, I'm fine!

I'm just a Zanpakuto.

Besides, Monkey wouldbe sad if I'm not around!

What are you saying?!

Let's go home.

Yuzu, do you know what happenedto the flan I left in the fridge?

Huh? W-Well

Oh, Dad ate it.

What?! I'm going to poundthat moustachio!

K-Karin?!

It's no big deal.

Besides, Dad was begging forsome family time, remember?

Illustrated Guide to Soul Reapers!

We'll always be together!

“ Yeah!“ Yeah!

I want to go to the bathroom.

“ I'm going too!“ I'm going too!
