BLEACH: Thousand-Year Blood w*r - The Calamity (2026)

[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.

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 have you been?

"Where have 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

unglamorous grunt 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 linchpin of the Three Worlds,

became a part of

His Majesty's power.

This crack is a prelude

to the annihilation

of the Three Worlds.

Annihilation of the Three Worlds...

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...

But you're at death's door.

You couldn't even react

at this distance.

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!

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's 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?

What are you doing, Orihime?

Yeah...

I was just thinking that

this flower kind of reminds me

of Kurosaki.

What? It does?

Ichigo's not as red

like that flower,

but isn't he

more like that one?

Huh, I think you're right.

Well, it doesn't really matter

which one he is.

We can talk about Ichigo later.

Anyway, let's get going.

We need to finish seeing everything

by half past the hour.

Oh yes, you're right...

Yup, I am!

Double period classes

are such a pain!

Kurosaki's heart must surely be...

...the same color as that flower.

Warm, kind and shining its light

brightly on everything around it....

In order to protect everyone.

That's why I decided...

Kurosaki, I!

Spiritual Pressure that changes

48 times per second...

Put another way...

I can get a taste of

all 48 versions in one second.

In other words,

if I can withstand her attack

for just one second in

my Vollstndig form,

I'll be infected 48 times.

Then all I need...is time to analyze

and acquire immunity.

Oh, and...

Maybe there's a way to alter

her Spiritual Pressure even more,

but it won't do any good.

Just so you don't waste

any time and effort,

out of kindness...

I'll tell you the capabilities

of my Vollstndig.

My Vollstndig, Hass Hein adapts

to the changes in a poison.

No matter how much the surface

layer of a poison changes,

if the base is the same,

Hass Hein can alter the immunity

and instantly nullify it.

Was that was too wordy?

But you get it, right?

From here on out,

the both of you can change your

Spiritual Pressures all you want.

But you won't be able to put

a scratch on me.

So, what will you do,

Kisuke Urahara?

Don't tell me...

Just because I negated

all your moves from 1 to 10,

that you're at your wit's end!

Don't be so surprised.

I'm just making sure.

I divided the Bereich.

I'm not fond of speaking

in absolutes, you see.

People who do, appear unsure

of themselves, don't they?

I want to be a man

who is in control.

But I will say this.

It is absolutely impossible

to escape this Gift Bereich.

You really don't want us to escape,

do you?

Of course not.

Why even ask?

You and I are enemies.

Well, I hate to be

the one to say this,

but you didn't seem to me like

a guy who acts out of loyalty.

Now that was rude.

I like to think I have twice

the loyalty of a Pomeranian.

But you're not wrong...

Loyalty isn't everything.

I'm interested in His Majesty.

When I say "interested,"

does that sound condescending?

Of course,

I don't mean it that way.

The World of the Living,

Hueco Mundo, Soul Society...

Destroying three entire worlds...

...then aiming to build something new!

Who else but His Majesty

could do that?

Let's say,

if we lose His Majesty here...

do you think anybody else like him

would emerge to take his place?

Kisuke Urahara...

You're a smart guy...

You look like a man who has seen

everything there is to see.

Aren't you even a bit curious?

What will His Majesty create after

he destroys the Three Worlds?

Don't you want to see

what it will be?

You're still able to

move that quickly?

That's impressive

inside this Gift Bereich.

No, I don't think I do.

Is that your answer

to my earlier question?

That's too bad.

I thought you'd be more like me.

Perhaps Captain Kurotsuchi

might have said

he wanted to see something new.

Mayuri Kurotsuchi, huh...?

But even in his case,

it doesn't mean he'd want to see

what Yhwach creates.

If you want to see something created

that nobody's ever seen before,

it should be made

by your own hand.

That's how scientists are.

I see.

I don't hate that answer.

Still, I'd rather see

His Majesty's version!

Gift Ring!

It disappeared?!

I use Gift Ring on guys

who are ridiculously strong

on whom the Death Dealing

doesn't work.

It's effect...

focuses the ability of

the Death Dealing on a single point

that's been pierced with

pinpoint accuracy

and instantly k*lling

that precise section.

It's your fault

for being too strong.

Lowering the lethal dose

did no good.

Eliminating all your moves

didn't do it.

So, destroying

every single organ of yours

is the only way left to k*ll you.

You've got me here...

You're really hellbent

on k*lling me!

Guess I have no choice.

Bankai.

Kannon-Biraki Benihime Aratame.

Whoa...

What is that?

That's a Bankai?

Your Bankai...

wasn't in the information

I received from His Majesty.

This is the first time I've used it

among present company.

I see...that's how it is.

So, I might as well ask...

What does it do?

You're actually asking?

I'm not telling.

Well, okay, I figured.

It's just kinda scary confronting it

without knowing what it does.

I get it.

But you'll find out soon enough.

What the...hell is this?!

You're so calm!

Most people are so surprised

that they try to cut off their arm.

As you've now realized,

my Bankai's effect is "ranged."

I don't have the guts

to cut my arm off.

You might have realized

from the first strike...

What...

What is he doing?

Kannon-Biraki Benihime

Aratame's ability...

is reconstructing

whatever it touches.

What?! You can see?!

But I k*lled your eyes instantly!

I can see!

They've been reconstructed,

you see...

Ugh, I hate this.

I really, really, really

really hate this!

This has turned into

a clash of brute force,

the kind of fight I hate!

I finally dragged you onto my turf

to fight on my terms,

then you go and mess it all up.

You're a bad man, Kisuke Urahara.

But,

you're not perfect!

You haven't forgotten, have you?

My Gift Ball Deluxe is

an inescapable fortress of poison!

You're able to breathe inside of it

only because I'm moderating it!

Give me a break, here!

You're not going to raise

the concentration

of Gift Ball Deluxe even more,

are you?!

As it is,

I can just barely crawl...

That's rich coming from you.

I already know!

Your Bankai is dangerous even

if you're crawling on the ground!

Impressive.

You're quite perceptive.

But it's already too late.

What happened?

It's been bugging me...

You said that this Gift Ball Deluxe

was inescapable,

but you did not say

it was impenetrable.

So, I thought as a test...

Why not create a direct path

into the ball from the outside?

Thank you for your help...

Mr. Grimmjow.

So, you're...

moving around again.

Impressive.

I underestimated you.

What? You're still alive even with

a crushed heart?

I healed him.

On my way here.

The Arrancars who had their masks

torn off by Aizen

can completely transform

their Spiritual Pressures

from an Arrancar's to

a Hollow's using Resurreccin.

I thought that might be

useful in battle.

You saw that far ahead?

No.

I told you...

I thought it might come in handy

during battle.

So, I prepared for it.

Take a thousand precautions and

if even one is successful...perfect.

Prepare for

every single possibility.

That's how I am.

That's insane.

How so?

This is a battle.

You lose, you die.

Preparing yourself to death,

to avoid death...

It's something we all do,

don't you think?

You have a point.

I think I finally...

understand why...

you're so frightening...

Stubborn b*stard.

Die already.

Mr. Grimmjow!

k*lling your enemy was the extent

of our agreement.

Our contract's done.

What the...hell is this?

Oh, I forgot to tell you something...

b*stard! You're still...

When I die,

the effect of Gift Ball Deluxe

intensifies!

It's because the lock that

I unconsciously kept on it

out of fear, to protect myself

is removed.

I would pay my respects to you...

But there's nothing

I can do about it.

I'm guessing you two don't have

the energy left to run.

Sorry about that...

That being said...

Knowing you,

I'm sure you've got an

answer for this, right?

Damn it.

It pisses me off so much.

So, I won't say...

it's fatal...

Damn it!

I'm not letting this thing k*ll me!

Amazing...

One of the Five Possibilities

he mentioned really happened...

I think there are four

Spiritual Pressures inside.

It will take two round trips.

Where's the entrance?

There?!

It's tiny!

I was actually hoping

to go with Ichigo, but...

Is this it for me?

I'm sorry to leave the rest

up to you like this...

Mr. Kurosaki... Miss Kuchiki...

Everyone...

Do you feel that, Inoue?

Yes.

It's behind that door.

Yes.

We'll go in two on one.

It may be kinda unfair...

I'll leave you

in charge of defense.

I'm counting on you, Inoue.

Okay!

It's finally happening.

Finally...

Finally...

I can finally fight

to protect Kurosaki!

Good of you to come.

I've been waiting.

My son of darkness.

Aren't you going to

draw your sword?

That leaves you quite vulnerable...

...is what I want to say, but...

you're not exactly vulnerable,

are you?

It's like I can almost see

your overflowing Spiritual Pressure

take form.

You've grown strong.

No, I should say...

That is the power

you're supposed to have.

Now come!

Will you come from the right?

Or from the left?

I'm waiting in anticipation.

What's the matter?

Aren't you going to strike at me?

I want to enjoy this long-awaited

talk between father and child.

You're...

not my father.

Ah, you speak of Isshin Kurosaki?

He was just a

stand-in father.

I'm sure you've already been told...

of the origin of your power.

I have.

So what?

You're not my father!

You're the man

who k*lled one of my parents!

Your mother?

Don't be pathetic!

Getsugatensho!

Simply being able to

"see" the future

doesn't mean he can "win."

I simply have to attack

in a way he can't defend

even if he knows it's coming.

I'm going to send you

and that "almighty" power to the grave.

I will rectify your ignorance,

Uryu Ishida.

Simply grasping everything

about a b*ttlefield

is a far cry from "seeing"

how a battle unfolds.

You sent Ichigo Kurosaki to fight

the most important battle.

You probably calculated on Ichigo

defeating His Majesty

when he is without The Almighty.

That was a reasonable strategy.

But a mistaken one.

The power of the Soul King!

What is there to be sad about?

She died as she was supposed to.

She gave birth to you

and lived for me.

What more could she want?

There is no greater happiness!

Kurosaki!

Kurosaki!

Our conversation is finished.

It was fun.

Now...

Shall we fight, Ichigo?

It was a smart choice to focus on

the The Almighty.

However...

It was overly arrogant of you

to try to measure His Majesty.

The Almighty.

What was it that you thought you knew

about me, Uryu Ishida?

Despair begins now.

Wait, Kurosaki!

A reckless charge.

What did you bring that woman for?

Did hatred make you

lose control of yourself?

Don't be so impatient.

You will eventually be consumed

by me and die,

but it's no fun

if you rush to your death.

Do you have any idea

how much time and

how many miracles it took

to create you?

Don't be impatient.

Don't treat your life so lightly.

Your body...

Your power...

They do not belong to you, Ichigo.

Expend all of your power

and die, Ichigo!

Where am I?

I can't see a thing...

What is this place?

Expend all of your power

and die, Ichigo!

Santenkesshun!

Shitenkoshun!!

Ah, the power of rejection.

I...

reject!

You can't reject me completely.

The same powers that flow

within Ichigo flow within me.

So, you unconsciously

accept my attacks.

Woman...

Consider it an honor...

that a mere human like you,

who overstepped her bounds,

could even be here.

I won't let you...

...hurt him

I will protect him!

And that...

is why...

I reject!

Getsugatensho!

I will k*ll you.

Such hubris, Ichigo.

To do that would be the same as

k*lling the world.

For I've already become

the world itself!

While I possess

His Majesty's powers,

I can wield them as I please.

This is the power that I hold

as his other half.

Uryu Ishida, if you did indeed

survive His Majesty's Auswhlen,

then prove it once more

by surviving my powers.

Your fight has been a contradiction

from the very beginning.

You should have seen that already.

You know just how fragile

the balance of this world is

and how easily it can be shaken...

k*lling His Majesty,

who has become one with the Soul King,

would condemn

this world to its end.

How pathetic.

If we defeat Yhwach,

the world will crumble...

I'm completely aware of that.

Then why...?

But...

Kurosaki might say this...

I'm still going to take you down.

I know the people who have

always protected this world.

You are trampling on the very thing

they want to protect.

There are countless lives

I want to protect.

I want to protect their feelings

and all that they hold dear.

If that means destroying the world,

then so be it...

Here I come.

Getsuga Jujisho!

Have you realized it yet?

Even if you people can win

against His Majesty,

now that the Soul King is gone,

do you realize what will be

necessary to preserve

the world as you know it?

Even that didn't work...

Ichigo...

My son born in the darkness...

You might be ignorant,

but you understand everything

instinctually.

And because

you understand everything,

you hesitate to take me down.

Ichibe Hyosube...

Everything is happening exactly

according to his plan.

He took you in, Ichigo Kurosaki...

and gave you the Soul King's memories

and explained everything.

He did it to judge

whether Ichigo Kurosaki

was worthy of existence.

You are a miracle.

You are human, Soul Reaper,

Hollow, Fullbringer, and Quincy.

You likely never thought about

the true essence of your powers...

Why do you clad yourself

in black?

Black is the color of chaos...

Chaos is the power of

the Soul King.

Blackthe color without color

is nothing less than

the Soul King's Spiritual Pressure.

And the one who controls that black

is Ichibe Hyosube.

I'm sure he said to you,

"Protect the Soul King."

I'm sorry...

So sorry...

You're the only one being taken

for a different reason.

Are you a vessel

capable of withstanding

the power that fills it,

or are you a bowl that shatters?

I was able to receive a tiny bit of

your power to restore my own body.

Please protect the Soul King,

Ichigo!

I will tell you his true intent.

Ichibe Hyosube intended to

install you as the next Soul King.

No way!

He was going to

make you a figurehead

whose only purpose is

to preserve the Three Worlds,

So a world with Soul Reapers as the

pinnacle would be maintained.

That is Ichibe Hyosube's

vision of "peace."

For you, it may as well be "death."

So what?

So what?

What?

It's just...

I figured that's what

Kurosaki would say.

Why does it matter if

I become the Soul King or not?!

What I know right now, is...

Unless I take you down,

I'll have nothing to protect!

Yhwach!

What the hell is that monster?

He's so strong, he made you

pee your pants a little, Hachi!

I haven't peed my pants.

Too easy!

Is this all you Thirteen Court

Guard Squad captains can muster

against my Miracle?

I can already barely sense

your faint Spiritual Pressure.

It'll be like stepping on ants

in the sand.

It's close to impossible...

That is exactly why I can find you!

Did you think I wouldn't be able to

find you because it's impossible?

It's a "Miracle" because

the impossible becomes possible!

We weren't listening

to you earlier,

so your "Miracle" is just

gibberish to us, baldy!

I am not bald!

What kinda comeback was that?!

Are you being serious?!

You think I'd fall for that?!

Nah, I didn't.

Not if it was just me.

Sakanade.

The world flipped!

Everything's upside-down.

Now, everybody!

I'll let you hear the Tritone

Tekken Tachikaze!

Super Mashiro Kick!

Chocolate Bar Slider!

Hifuki no Kozuchi!

Nijuichijo Tonbokudari!

It's over.

We did it...

Boy, oh boy...

It'll never end at this rate.

Oh, I know...

I'll just drop this entire area

along with them all.

I can't allow you to let them fall.

Stay frozen here forever.

Who said that?

Captain of Squad 10 of

the Thirteen Court Guard Squads,

Toshiro Hitsugaya.

Is that so?

I am Stern Ritter Gerard Valkyrie

of the Royal Guards.

Let's be friends!

Sorry.

I didn't come here to be friends.

Bankai.

Daiguren Hyorinmaru.

Shiro...

I see...

What a childish answer...

Kurosaki!

So it falls on the father

to correct the child's error,

I suppose.

He's so fast...

I can't follow

Kurosaki's movements...!

Kurosaki, wait!

Calm down for a second!

I don't understand...

Why rush to your death?

Are you reluctant to show me

all of your power?

Are you afraid I'll take it,

if you show it to me?

But is that all right, Ichigo?

If you die here,

both the World of the Living and

Soul Society are done.

I will end them.

Are you okay with that, Ichigo?

Look.

Your friend is saying

that must not happen.

She's telling you to heal

your wounds and fight.

You never had a choice

to begin with.

Answer, Ichigo!

To the voices of the powerless.

For the weak...

who, without you...

can barely breathe.

Stand up.

Fight.

And die!

Thanks, Inoue.

Sure!

I barely grabbed your clothes...

but you stopped, Kurosaki.

When you looked back,

I didn't see the face of a person

who had lost himself.

I knew you had something in mind.

Yeah...

There was a guy I wanted to wake up

by pumping in some

Quincy Spiritual Pressure.

His sword...

is turning white...

I see...

So that's what

you were trying to do.

Okay, now for the finishing move.

It couldn't even stop him

for a moment...

He's a tough b*stard.

Did you think you could stop me

with these ice tricks?

That saved me...

I don't like The Miracle,

but it's powerful.

Agreed.

He's a difficult opponent

to take on one-on-one.

Let me help.

Understood.

Given the difference in height,

two against one

wouldn't be cowardly...

Why are you looking at me

like that?

You wanna say that I'm always

at a height disadvantage?

No, of course not...

That's...not my intent.

- Sorry.

- Then why'd you apologize?!

You hesitated,

and then apologized anyway!

Look at me!

What's this?

Captain classes

all got obliterated together?

So pathetic!

- Here comes trouble...

- Here comes trouble...

My...my right hand!

Is stronger!

What's that?

What just happened?!

That's his power.

Any injured area on his body

grows bigger and stronger.

I see.

That means he wasn't this big

from the start.

What?

If you've got something to say,

just say it!

I don't.

You're being hyper-sensitive.

How fun!

Let's find out what happens if

we dice him up into pieces!

That idiot!

What do you think you're doing?

You woulda been sliced in two

if I hadn't held back!

You're more considerate

than I thought.

Now put a little more thought

into it...

Huh? What are you talking about?

What will happen if we make him

any bigger, and he falls?

Nothing.

I'll fall with him and slice him up

on the way down.

If someone with all that mass

falls from this height,

Seireitei will be destroyed!

Stop with the quibbling!

So in other words,

I just have to stop toying with him

and go straight to cracking

his head open, right?

Zaraki!

You made me fall over.

You're strong...

I hate to be cruel,

but you leave me no choice.

A powerful embodiment of darkness

such as yourself

shall become rust on my Hoffnung.

Can't believe I couldn't cut you.

A tough shield

and a tough body, huh?

Makes me wanna cut you even more.

Drink...

Nozarashi.

What is that?

His Shikai?

When did Zaraki...?

So, his sword wasn't

a constant-release type.

No...

Perhaps a constant-release type

never existed in the first place...

You fool!

You chipped my Hoffnung!

Senbonzakura Kageyoshi.

Hyoryusenbi...

Zekku!

Do you wish that badly for despair?

What's this?

What's happening?

What's puzzling you?

My power is The Miracle.

The Miracle turns

the people's wishes into reality.

My indestructible body is enlarged

by the people's fears.

Hoffnung is forged from

the hopes of the people.

When it shatters,

there will be despair!!

I am Gerard Valkyrie!

I am a miracle,

and miracles are what I am.
