04x02 - Son of Darkness

[bunniefuu]

What are you doing, Orihime?

Yeah...
I was just thinking that

this flower kind of reminds me
of Kurosaki.

What? It does?

Ichigo's 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 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—!

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

Spiritual Pressure that changes


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 Vollständig 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 Vollständig.

My Vollständig, 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's 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?

Me and you 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's 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 Resurrección.

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.
Just 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!

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 The Almighty 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 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!

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

Even the scattering of these petals...

Is a miracle.
