04x01 - God of Thunder

[bunniefuu]

It's morning...

What a wonderful dream.

No better dream
than a nightmare.

I see it...

I see your pain, as well...

You win, Jugo.

I also see your loyalty...

My son born of darkness.

Come...

No one can stop me.

THE CALAMITY

I've lived my way full of shame

"Envy" comes from the ways
of the eventual end

The ambiguous balance

I want to cut ties at once

It's too late to back down now

Before this senile body dies

My shadow will fade away soon, but

Even if I disappear, my journey won't stop

Uncertain days, certain endings

My stories fill the in-betweens

Beyond the wall blocking my way,
there is a calm morning

Like the rising sun,
I stand with the wind at my back

A burst of hope?

Break through an endless night

Show the sun waiting
at the end of darkness

The promise is yet to be fulfilled

but I stand in solitude not to let it go

At the moment,
I'm connecting numerous lights

to form a constellation that paves
tomorrow

Even if the rain clouds
hide the night sky away

there certainly is a flame in my heart

God is no longer reliable

I glance up towards the silver lining

The destiny of bursting fate

BLEACH: THOUSAND-YEAR BLOOD w*r

Their powers switch only
while Yhwach is asleep.

That's right.

Right now, Yhwach does not
have the power of The Almighty.

He's now in
the upper level of Wahr Welt.

Head up there, Kurosaki!

Ishida!

Are you actually gonna stay here?

If he has Yhwach's powers,
then it's all the more reason—!

Quit talking and go!

Besides, those won't be my last words.

Is everything okay, Inoue?

I'm fine.
I'm okay.

I just... kinda felt relieved.

Relieved?

How do I put it?

I never believed Ishida
actually joined the Quincy, but...

hearing him say it directly
was a relief, I guess.

I was just thinking
Ishida was still the same Ishida...

What's that?!

Chad!
- Sado!

I'm okay.
Just go!

Okay...
Let's do this.

Turn to sand!

Oh, it's you, Ganju.

Where've you been?

"Where've you been?" my butt!

You left me
and went off on your own!

I got separated and got lost!

That's when I saw this perfect
moment to use my skills.

A group of stone statues
is perfect!

My Seppa was made for this!

Hey, listen to me!

I'm listening.
- Are you really, though?

Give me a reaction or something!

Do you like doing
unglamourous work, Ganju?

Ichigo only sees the path
that's in front of him.

That's how he is.

Our job is to clean out the castle
and pave a path back for Ichigo.

Haschwalth can't see
the complete future...

You surprise me, Uryu Ishida.

You look completely different
from who you were earlier.

You seem so full of hope now.

I see.

Setting aside whether or not
I am full of hope or not,

the fact that you're surprised...

...means you did not foresee me
being filled with hope, did you?

At that time,
he didn't confirm or deny it.

Like I keep telling you,
I see everything.

In that case, I'll just confirm
how much you can see.

They're not hitting him...!

So, he can see everything,
after all?

Seems you're limiting
my angles of attack

by standing with your back
to the walls and ceiling.

Then you need only to concentrate
on what's in front of you.

I praise you for fighting
a cerebral battle, Uryu Ishida.

As I'd expect from you,
Grand Master.

But I don't appreciate your praise.

Your life is in my hands...

Right now, the power of
His Majesty fills my body,

Trying to take these powers
from me is futile.

Uryu Ishida...

You cannot be me.

I am His Majesty's other half.

I am a Quincy born to be together
with His Majesty.

That is why His Majesty entrusted his
powers to me.

Can you see it?

Can you see what is
about to happen next?

What is that?!

This is His Majesty's true wish.

It's a hit!

Jinta Home-Run!

Uh...
What is that huge crack?!

It's identical to that "distortion"
Kisuke was investigating...

Wait a minute!!

A "distortion" is a concentration
of dangerous energy...

I thought the Manager
and the others fixed it!

He was supposed to, but...

Isn't it dangerous to stay in
this town... or even in this world?

Isn't that right, Tessai?

Mr. Urahara...

Did you say, his true wish?

Everything is proceeding according
to His Majesty's plan

that began with the attack
on Soul Society.

The extermination of
massive numbers of Hollows

from the World of the Living

greatly upset the balance of souls

Our invasion fooled
many Soul Reapers.

The deaths of Genryusai Yamamoto

followed by members of Squad Zero

upset the balance
in this world to its core.

And the Soul King, who was
the lynchpin of the Three Worlds,

became a part of
His Majesty's power.

This rift is a prelude

to the annihilation
of the Three Worlds.

Annihilation of the entire world...

What are you trying to do?

You've probably
heard before.

It's called "Welt."

We are creating a new world.

We will destroy the Three Worlds

to create a monarchy
of and for Quincy.

That is His Majesty's true wish

and it is the duty Stern Ritter
must fulfill for their brethren.

You are not a part of that future
that I see.

Dealing with traitors...

...is also my job!

Spoken like
His Majesty's mouthpiece.

After hearing what you said,
my to-do list just grew.

First, defeat you to eliminate
The Almighty.

Second, eliminate this rift
and protect the Three Worlds.

Can't believe
I didn't have to move...

...to survive all that!

I feel it. I feel myself moving
farther away from death.

If my immunity is the ultimate way
to avoid death,

maybe I have immunity to
thank for this as well.

What do you think,

Yoruichi Shihoin?

Sorry, I thought you were talking
to yourself, so I wasn't listening.

More like you
couldn't listen, right?

I fired off a hybrid Gift Ball

of Spiritual Pressure,
Oxygen, and Nitrogen.

You didn't have the luxury of
listening to pointless mutterings...

Honestly, I'm surprised
you're not dead in your condition.

Likewise...

After all that fiddling
with fatal dosage...

I'm not sure why you adjusted it
enough to keep me barely alive.

You're wrong.

I did the best that I could.

Anyone else would have
been dead by now.

Stop ignoring that you're a freak

and making it sound like
I went easy on you.

It's a real bummer.

Yushiro won't last much longer...

But I don't have the strength
to heal him in my condition.

In that case!

Don't bother.

I don't know what you're up to...

You didn't react when I got this close,

you're at death's door.

No matter what you try
in the state you're in now,

I'm confident I can strike first.

That's pretty fatal,
don't you think, Yoruichi Shihoin?

Indeed!

You've been dealt
a fatal wedgie, Yoruichi.

That hurt my chin!

I came all this way to save you.
Why'd you kick me?!

What made you think I wouldn't?!

Look at me!
Stop staring at my butt!

Sorry...

You're right.
Perhaps "wedgie" was a bit vulgar.

That's not why I kicked you!

And stop touching my butt
while apologizing!

Kisuke Urahara...

Another troublemaker
to deal with...

Oh, you know me?
Much obliged.

"Do I know you?!"

You may not know this,

but you're one
of the Special Threats

designated personally
by His Majesty.

I'm honored to be included
among such esteemed company.

It's a privilege, but he's
giving me too much credit.

Isn't that right, Yoruichi?

What?!

What did he do?

How is Yoruichi Shihoin
able to move?!

Did he undo my Death Dealing?!

How?!

No, this is exactly
what I've been told about.

The five Special Threats
were chosen

for their incalculable aspects.

Ichigo Kurosaki
for his "potential."

Kenpachi Zaraki
for his "combat strength."

Ichibei Hyosube for his "wisdom."

Sosuke Aizen
for his "Spiritual Pressure."

And Kisuke Urahara

for his "incalculable tricks!"

Regardless of what strategy
you use,

he will always outsmart you.

He is the consummate schemer!

Man... Why am I the one

who always has to face
these troublemakers?!

What did you inject into my butt?

It's a secret.

An immunity enhancing
agent you cooked up

while hiding
and eavesdropping on us...

Am I right?

As expected, Yoruichi!

How astute of you.

I had to rush and improvise,
so its effect won't last long.

How long?

About 5 minutes, maybe?

That's plenty!

Shunko!

Raijin Senkei...
- Hold on, Yoruichi.

What?!
You got more to say?!

Let's try that thing...

No!

Why'd you sh**t me down so quick?

Let me try to explain and
negotiate with you...

I never want to be that half-assed,
grotesque form ever again!

I see...
Too bad.

I don't want to do this,
but you force my hand...

Oops! Bummer.
I missed.

Hey...

It's nice that you're able to move,

and it's great
you're excited, but...

I hit you with the Gift Ball when
you were in perfect condition...

Do you really think you can beat me

just because you
recovered a little bit?

Yoruichi!

WHEN I TURN THIS PAGE
YOU WILL TRANSFORM

What just happened?!

W-What kind of form is that?!

Hey, don't ignore me!

Shunko: Raiju Senkei
Shunryu Kokubyo Senki.

That's what.

Okay, but why are you
the one saying it?

Could it be?

Can she not understand
what I'm saying right now?

No way!

How is this happening?

I should be immune to
her Spiritual Pressure already!

It's not possible for
a Soul Reaper's Spiritual Pressure

to change midway like this!

What's going on?!

She's moody.

You know how they say
cats can be fickle?

Yoruichi's moods
in her Kokubyo Senki form

shows in her Spiritual Pressure.

See how she's not coming
after you right now?

It's because she's not in the mood.

Yoruichi's moody to begin with,
but in that form,

her Spiritual Pressure becomes
more erratic.

It's almost like
someone else's Spiritual Pressure.

You know how the flu
spreads every year?

Even if it's not a new strain,

just a tiny mutation
in antigenicity

and last year's strain Type A
spreads again.

It's sort of like that.

Even if your body keeps
building up immunity,

one small change
makes it all for nothing.

Sure, your immunity
acquisition rate

is incredibly fast...

When you're attacked,

you reflexively analyze
the Spiritual Pressure

and build immunity
at a terrifying speed.

It takes you just a minute
to nullify any attack.

But that's not fast enough.

The Spiritual Pressure when
Yoruichi's in Kokubyo Senki

changes 48 times per second.

Hey!

Yoruichi...
I have Yoru-nip for you.

Come here.

Ouch!

Okay, okay!

Oh boy...

I'm the only one
who can control her,

and she can only revert back
if she's in the mood...

I guess that's the drawback
with this form.

Well, Yoruichi in this form is cute
in her own way,

so I don't really mind.

Oh, it's been almost five minutes.

The immuno enhancer
is about to wear off.

You did well, Yoruichi.

Take your time detoxing
from the poison.

I'm going to look for his body

and make sure he's dead.

What the hell is this?

A Gift Ball Deluxe.

The largest Gift Ball I can create.

Oh! That's not
what's bothering you?

Are you bothered
by the way I look?

It's called Hass Hein.

Not that cool of a name, right?

Retracing memories

An unexpected gaze

The world I didn't want

I've started breaking it down

Lean on each other and face forward

I want to change my fate

All the voices shout

The sound rang out

I saw countless scattered shadows

and I laughed

A world that's lost its color

I'll illuminate it again

Broken and lamenting

The end of the dream

Shaking free from it over and over again
with a still-connected heart

I'll protect today,
the path I've walked all this time

Break it

Tear the future apart, call my name

Turn your back on your predetermined past

Today keeps playing with fate

Reclaim it here and now

To the ends of the earth, an unseen dream

With eyes that know the strength
that lies in words

Notice the distorted spiral

My fate has been set in motion

Sickeningly poisonous...

Doesn't it make you dizzy?
