aRANGIKU, Captain!
aRANGIKU, Huh? That's odd.
aRANGIKU, Where did Captain go?
SQUAD MEMBER B, If you're looking for Captain Hitsugaya,
SQUAD MEMBER B, he's supposed to be on leave starting today.
RANGIKU, Oh! That's right. I forgot.
RANGIKU, That means I'll have to take care of all these documents.
RANGIKU, Captain, why'd you have to take leave?
DONI, Yours, Kurosaki!
KARIN, Got it!
KARIN, Toshiro!
KARIN, You sure saved us, Toshiro.
KARIN, When Ryohei got hurt,
KARIN, we didn't know who we could get to replace him.
HITSUGAYA, Sure.
KARIN, How long will you be around?
HITSUGAYA, None of your business.
KARIN, What kind of answer is that?!
HITSUGAYA, Anyway, how long are you going to keep following me around?
HITSUGAYA, I'm done helping your team.
HITSUGAYA, I have some business to…
HARU, Toshiro?
HARU, I knew it.
HARU, It is you, Toshiro.
HITSUGAYA, Grandma Haru…
HITSUGAYA, I got to know Grandma Haru
HITSUGAYA, when I was stationed in the World of the Living.
KARIN, Stationed?
KARIN, I don't really get it, but…
KARIN, You were doing things like that even though you're a kid?
HITSUGAYA, I keep telling you, I'm not a kid!
HITSUGAYA, Grandma Haru can see spirits the way you and Kurosaki can.
KARIN, I see.
KARIN, No wonder so many
KARIN, of them are gathering in this place.
KARIN, Go away!
HARU, Here, Toshiro. It's your favorite candied beans.
KARIN, You like candied beans?
KARIN, You're like an old man!
HITSUGAYA, Shut up.
HITSUGAYA, Mmm… These are great!
HARU, Toshiro.
HARU, Thank you for coming such a long way.
HITSUGAYA, Sure.
KARIN, So that's it, Toshiro.
KARIN, You came here to visit Granny?
HITSUGAYA, It's none of your business.
KARIN, Fine.
KARIN, Huh?
HARU, Oh, Yosuke.
HARU, Were you there all this time?
KARIN, Granny, who is that boy?
HARU, He's been staying here for a while now.
HITSUGAYA (M), A Whole.
HARU, Yosuke, can you say hello to our guests?
KARIN, Hi!
HARU, I'm sorry.
HARU, Yosuke is very shy.
HARU, However, he's the most visible
HARU, wandering spirit since Toshiro.
HITSUGAYA, I'm not a spirit.
HARU, Yes, yes. You're a Soul Reaper.
HARU, Anyway, thanks to Yosuke,
HARU, I'm enjoying my life right now.
KARIN, I see.
KARIN, Do you have a family, Granny?
HARU, I've lived alone all these years.
KARIN, Oh…I'm sorry.
HARU, Don't be.
HARU, Nowadays, I have Yosuke and many other spirits.
HARU, And sometimes Toshiro comes to visit,
HARU, so I'm not lonely.
KARIN, That's great!
KARIN, The wandering spirits that come
KARIN, around me are all annoying ones.
KARIN, But Yosuke…
KARIN, What is keeping you from resting in peace?
HARU, Yosuke wants to see snow. Isn't that right?
KARIN, Snow?
HARU, Yosuke got into an accident while he and his family
HARU, were on their way to go skiing.
HARU, It was a terrible accident.
HARU, Many people lost their lives.
HARU, His parents seem to have passed over in peace, but
HARU, this child was looking forward to seeing snow for the first time.
HARU, That desire remained so strong
HARU, that he was unable to rest in peace
HARU, and I found him wandering about.
KARIN, Is that so?
HARU, But according to the weather forecast,
HARU, it should snow soon.
HARU, Isn't that great?
YOSUKE, Yes!
KARIN, Say, Toshiro…
KARIN, Is it okay…to leave that child like that?
HITSUGAYA, What're you talking about?
KARIN, Don't play dumb.
KARIN, Aren't spirits that haven't passed over at risk?
KARIN, If left alone…I don't really understand this…
KARIN, but don't they turn into like, monsters?
HITSUGAYA, You're right.
HITSUGAYA, If he stays here,
HITSUGAYA, Yosuke will probably turn into a Hollow.
KARIN, A Hollow?
HITSUGAYA, What you call a “monster.
KARIN, Then won't Grandma Haru be in danger too?
KARIN, Toshiro…
HITSUGAYA, It happened right about when I first became a Soul Reaper.
HITSUGAYA (N), I was dispatched before
HITSUGAYA (N), I knew what to expect from the World of the Living
HITSUGAYA (N), in order to gain experience.
HITSUGAYA (N), While I was stationed here, I simply followed orders
HITSUGAYA (N), and spent every day getting rid of Hollows.
HITSUGAYA (N), Back then, all I thought about was
HITSUGAYA (N), getting rid of the Hollows in front of me.
HARU, That's a fine sword you have there.
HARU, My, you're such a tiny Soul Reaper.
HITSUGAYA (N), Grandma Haru had spiritual power
HITSUGAYA (N), and knew about Soul Reapers.
HITSUGAYA (N), She looked after me.
HARU, I can see you very clearly today.
HITSUGAYA, I'm in a gigai.
HARU, A gigai?
HITSUGAYA, It's a body for eating candied beans.
HARU, Is that so?
HARU, Then be sure to eat lots before you leave.
HITSUGAYA (N), Grandma lost her family a long time ago
HITSUGAYA (N), and lived alone for all those years.
HITSUGAYA (N), And, because she could see spirits,
HITSUGAYA (N), everyone thought she was creepy and kept their distance from her.
HITSUGAYA (N), Spirits were the only thing that eased her loneliness.
HITSUGAYA, Grandma Haru thinks of Yosuke like a grandson.
KARIN, Tell me, Toshiro…
KARIN, Did you come to do something for Yosuke?
HITSUGAYA, Ordinarily, I'd perform a
HITSUGAYA, Konso as soon as I found a spirit like that.
HITSUGAYA, But since I left him alone,
HITSUGAYA, I can't allow this to cause problems for anyone.
HITSUGAYA, I have no choice but to watch over him.
KARIN, You know, for a kid, you're awfully caring.
HITSUGAYA, Who're you calling a kid?!
KARIN, So, you'll be staying here a while, right?
KARIN, Do you have someplace to stay?
HITSUGAYA, Well…
KARIN, Then come to my place.
HITSUGAYA, Huh?
YUZU, Karin brought home a boyfriend!
KARIN /HITSUGAYA, -You're wrong! -You're wrong!
YUZU, You two are perfect for each other!
YUZU, Aw jeez!
YUZU, Of all the times for Dad not to be here!
KARIN, It's not what you think!
KARIN, Oh, never mind!
KARIN, Anyhow, Toshiro will be staying with us a while, okay?
YUZU, Huh?! Oh my!
YUZU, Karin is becoming an adult!
KARIN, Brother, say something!
YUZU, Why aren't you talking, Brother?
KARIN, Aren't you friends with Toshiro?!
Toshiro…
What the hell do you think you're doing?
HITSUGAYA, What're you talking about?!
HITSUGAYA, What's with your family?!
HITSUGAYA, They won't listen, no matter how much we try to correct them!
KARIN, That's okay.
KARIN, Yuzu's always like that, so don't let it bother you.
I was just kidding you.
You and Karin took it so seriously that I couldn't help myself.
But Toshiro…
Don't put Karin in danger, you hear?
HITSUGAYA, So…
HITSUGAYA, How long are you going to keep following me?
KARIN, Why not?
KARIN, You're going to Granny's place, right?
KARIN, I have nothing else to do.
HITSUGAYA, Suit yourself.
HARU, My, my, you've come again today?
HITSUGAYA, I told you, I took some time off.
HARU, I see, I see.
HARU, Oh, you came with your girlfriend again?
KARIN, Hi.
HITSUGAYA, She's not my girlfriend!
HITSUGAYA, Not you too, Grandma.
HARU, Yosuke.
HARU, Toshiro's here.
KARIN, Hi there!
HARU, You are such a shy child.
HITSUGAYA, Hey.
HITSUGAYA, Here.
HITSUGAYA, You can keep it.
YOSUKE, T-Thank you.
KARIN, Tell me, Toshiro…
KARIN, Where did you get that?
HITSUGAYA, My Zanpakuto is an ice-snow type.
KARIN, Huh?!
HITSUGAYA, If I want to, I can manipulate ice and snow.
KARIN, So, did you make that yourself?
KARIN, If you have that ability,
KARIN, wouldn't things be faster if you made it snow?
HITSUGAYA, My powers are not meant to show off so easily.
KARIN, Jeez, that sounds complicated.
HITSUGAYA, Besides, it'll snow soon, even without me doing anything.
KARIN, Really?
KARIN, Yosuke!
KARIN, It'll be snowing pretty soon!
KARIN, When it does, let's make an even bigger one!
YOSUKE, Okay!
HARU, Thank you, Toshiro.
HITSUGAYA, Grandma Haru…when it snows…
HARU, Yes, I know.
HARU, That is your job, isn't it, Toshiro?
HARU, That's what's best for Yosuke's happiness too, isn't it?
HITSUGAYA, Yeah.
KARIN, It's been quite a while now,
KARIN, but it hasn't snowed even though it looks like it might.
HITSUGAYA, Yeah.
KARIN, Is something the matter?
HITSUGAYA, It's Yosuke.
HITSUGAYA, Considering when he became
HITSUGAYA, a spirit and the strength of his obsession,
HITSUGAYA, it wouldn't be odd at all if he turned into a Hollow by now.
KARIN, Isn't it a good thing
KARIN, if he doesn't turn into a monster?
KARIN, Come to think of it, Granny's late…
KARIN, I'll go and take a look.
HITSUGAYA, Yeah.
HITSUGAYA, I don't like the idea,
HITSUGAYA, but maybe it's best if I used my
HITSUGAYA, Zanpakuto to make it snow, after all.
HITSUGAYA, What's the matter, Yosuke?
KARIN, Granny!
HITSUGAYA, What?!
KARIN, Granny!
KARIN, Come on, Granny!
KARIN, Granny!
HITSUGAYA, This is…
HITSUGAYA, Her Spiritual Pressure is weakening!
KARIN, What?
HITSUGAYA, What's going on?
YOSUKE, Grand…ma…
HITSUGAYA, Could it be?
HITSUGAYA, Was Grandma Haru using her own Spiritual Pressure
HITSUGAYA, to prevent Yosuke from transforming…
HITSUGAYA, into a Hollow?!
KARIN, What is it?!
KARIN, What's the matter?!
KARIN, Yosuke!
HITSUGAYA, Damn it!
HITSUGAYA, Yosuke…
KARIN, Toshiro!
HITSUGAYA, Take care of Grandma Haru!
KARIN, R-Right!
HITSUGAYA, Damn it… Where'd he go?
HITSUGAYA, Stay back!
HITSUGAYA, Damn it!
KARIN, Stop it, Toshiro!
KARIN, Toshiro!
KARIN, Isn't that Yosuke?!
KARIN, Isn't there anything you can do?!
HITSUGAYA, Once he's become a Hollow…
HITSUGAYA, there's nothing I can do.
KARIN, Yosuke!
KARIN, Come to your senses!
KARIN, You'll be able to see snow soon!
KARIN, Hang on just a little while longer!
KARIN, Yosuke!
HITSUGAYA, You idiot! Get back here!
HITSUGAYA, What's going on?
HITSUGAYA, Grandma…Haru…
HARU, Toshiro…
HARU (FLASHBACK), Yes, I know.
HARU (FLASHBACK), That is your job, isn't it, Toshiro?
HARU (FLASHBACK), That's what's best for Yosuke's happiness too, isn't it?
HARU, Yosuke…
HARU, I'm sorry.
HARU, This all happened because I wasn't strong enough.
HARU, Yosuke…
HARU, I'm sorry.
HITSUGAYA, Grandma Haru…
KARIN, It's snowing!
KARIN, Yosuke saw the snow, didn't he?
HARU, Yes, he sure did.
HARU, Right, Toshiro?
HITSUGAYA, Yeah.
HARU, Toshiro… I'm sorry for causing you so much trouble.
HITSUGAYA, It's not your fault, Grandma Haru.
HARU, Is that so?
KARIN, Say, Granny.
KARIN, Would it be okay if I started coming over to visit too?
KARIN, There's a small soccer field nearby,
KARIN, so I'll bring my friends too!
HARU, My, that'll make things very lively.
KARIN, You know, Toshiro…
KARIN, Do you think Yosuke stopped because of Granny?
KARIN, I think Yosuke was battling within himself
KARIN, even after he turned into a monster.
KARIN, That's why he stopped, I think.
HITSUGAYA, Who knows?
HITSUGAYA, I'm done with my business here, so I'll be going back.
KARIN, I see!
KARIN, Drop by again, okay?
KARIN, I'll keep your name on our team's game roster!
KARIN, See you!
HITSUGAYA, Yeah.
HITSUGAYA, Now then, I still have leave days left,
HITSUGAYA, so maybe I'll drop by my Grandma's place in the Rukon District.
YUZU, Karin's out on a date again!
Yuzu, it's not like that between Karin and Toshiro.
YUZU, But I see them going somewhere together every day.
YUZU, That never happened before.
What?!
YUZU, You think they'll get married when they're older?
Illustrated Guide to Soul Reapers!
YUZU, Brother!
YUZU, Dinner time!
Coming!
What the?!
What're you all doing here?!
YUZU, I invited them to celebrate the new story arc!
Huh?! I didn't hear anything!
KARIN, Knowing you, Brother,
KARIN, you probably weren't paying attention when you heard about it.
That couldn't be!
Whatever. But I don't have anywhere to sit!
Let me sit!
YUZU, And so, we'll be starting a new story arc beginning next episode!
YUZU, Keep watching!
