04x06 - The End

[bunniefuu]

Tears?

Hey, what the hell happened here?

Where's Inoue?!

Inoue...
sacrificed her soul...

to put an end to Yhwach.

Are you all right?

Yeah...

Inoue used everything she had...

to keep us together.

Ichigo...

This means
the world was saved, right?

Not yet.

Huh?

Ichigo, what are you...

planning to do?

Ichigo!

Is it that damned priest?

Ichigo!

You fool!

Why?

Why do you turn your back to me?

Inoue...

It's morning.

Haschwalth!

The time limit has already passed.

The Almighty.

Yhwach...

Why are you here?
You're...

What are you talking about?

That version of the future
never existed.

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

It's understandable that
you failed to notice,

in the depths of Wahr Welt,
where the light cannot reach.

Moments before you activated
Leiden Hant,

His Majesty's power and mine
were swapped.

My original power is more suited
for battle than His Majesty's.

Especially for an enemy like you,
whose errors need rectifying!

The balance has shifted.

I'll let you in on something good...

The true terror of The Almighty
is not the power to see the future.

What does that—?

I'll tell you
when our fight is over.

Now...

Put all that you are onto
the balance, Uryu Ishida!

On your broken balance that points
to the path of no return!

Guys!

Did you think you are the only one
who can wield dual swords?

You're looking for a hole
in my ability, aren't you?

Ichigo...

You have the wrong idea.

The future does not lie
on a single path.

The future is like
the infinite grains of sand

scattered before me.

Each of those seemingly isolated
and scattered grains of sand

is the future.

Put another way, they can
also be called possibilities.

Ichigo...

I enjoy speaking of hope.

The future can be changed.
That is a fact.

A wonderful fact filled
with such great hope.

But changing the future
simply means

jumping from one grain
of sand to another.

And I can see every grain of sand
from high above,

and intervene.

The Almighty is not
the power to see the future.

It is the power
to alter the future!

Inoue!

I'm... sorry...

Ichigo...

She could not protect you...

That is that woman's future.

You see, I altered her future.

Please do not give up hope, Ichigo.

Continue blindly jumping from

the rolling grains of sand
called fate or possibility

as you always have until now.

That is hope for humans.

All of us walk on a balance.

We sort what is right or wrong
for ourselves.

The sorted pieces
of right and wrong

pile on top of each other
and give us form.

That is who we are.

I know you too
have done the same, Uryu Ishida.

But I do not see your form.

I do not see the form
you've shaped for yourself

with the choices that you've made.

Who are you, Uryu Ishida?

Is it truly your desire
to risk your life

for those shallow humans?

You really talk too much.

"Who am I," you ask?

How the hell am I supposed
to answer that?

That's something...

I'll finally find out when
I defeat you people!

I see.

ANOMALY DETECTED
Boundary depth is increasing!

ANOMALY DETECTED

ANOMALY DETECTED
It's not stopping!

What are the Quincies
trying to do?

The world will be destroyed!

I tried hitting it with Reishi
via the Garganta,

but it only decreases for a moment
before reverting back!

So it decreased momentarily?

It did, but don't
get your hopes up.

Mutual annihilation is
the only effective way.

Do you mean we have no choice

but to hit it with
an equal amount of energy?

Where do we find that
kind of energy?

We wouldn't have a problem
if we knew!

We've tried everything we can.

What do we do, Akon?

This distortion is spreading
because the balance of souls

in the World of the Living
and Soul Society is destroyed.

Huh?! What are you even talking
about at this point?!

What if we create balance here?

Huh?!

We open the gate to Hueco Mundo.

Let me ask a question.

Why are you asking me
what sort of person I am?

Before even asking such a question,

shouldn't you defeat me
as fast as you can

and race back to Yhwach's side?

They will die.

No matter how much I toy
with you here,

His Majesty will not be exposed
to any danger.

You are a lucky man, Uryu Ishida.

You succeeded in placing
Leiden Hant on me

and shot me full of Heilig Pfeil.

An equivalent amount of misfortune
will rain down on you.

My Schrift is B.

The Balance.

By allocating the misfortunes
that occur in my domain

to the fortunate,

I maintain harmony in the world.

You do not stand a chance,
Uryu Ishida.

There are probably no more answers
I can get from you.

If you have nothing to say,
then so be it.

This is where it ends.

Wait...

Don't you want to see it?

My Schrift?

Don't bother trying to prolong
the inevitable.

If it was enough to beat me,
you would've used it already.

It's quite the opposite.

I was just thinking
now's the time to use it.

What do you mean?

My Schrift is...

A.

Antithesis.

Antithesis...

It reverses events that
have already taken place

between two designated points.

This time I kept it simple—

I revered our wounds.

I see...

What a magnificent power!

No wonder His Majesty took
an interest in you.

With the power to reverse events
that already taken place,

perhaps you are the only one

who can challenge
His Majesty's power.

What does that mean?

Are you talking about
the true power of The Almighty?

Interpret it any way you wish.

All I can say is...

I was correct in stopping you here.

Do you think I would let you go?!

Your Antithesis is remarkable,

but it does not match up well
with The Balance.

I told you,
I can allocate misfortunes

and all misfortunes
that occur to me

are received with
this Freund Schild.

In other words...

The good fortune of
you wounding me

has rained down on you as
misfortune in the same amount.

The misfortune you inflicted
on my body

is transferred to and absorbed
by Freund Schild...

and will rain down on you
as additional misfortune.

As I said before, you don't stand
a chance, Uryu Ishida.

Still won't give up, will you?

You're a smart man...

I know you realize
you don't stand a chance

against me or His Majesty.

I said I couldn't see you...

but I take that back.

You are very much like...

those unbelievably foolish humans.

You don't understand.

The Wahr Welt I desire is also
the world which that woman desires.

A serene world without conflict,

without pain and without
hatred or sadness.

That is exactly the Wahr Welt
I desire.

Do not lose hope, Ichigo.

There is nothing more painful
for a parent

than k*lling a child
who is in throes of despair.

So you can still move?

I'm...

a lot like Kurosaki and the others,
you say?

Everything I have done so far...

I've done calmly...

made decisions based on
your so-called balance.

But Kurosaki is an idiot,
so he can't do that...

If he wants to help someone,
he'll just go and help.

Regardless of which way
the balance tilts,

that guy isn't even looking at it.

Inoue's also an idiot.

Sado's also an idiot.

Kuchiki's also an idiot.

And Abarai's also an idiot.

If I appear to be the same
as those idiots...

...that makes me happy.

Is that so?

You are afraid of both
hope and despair, aren't you?

You call it The Almighty,

but it seems you can't
see deep into people's hearts.

What about despair?

I know all about it.

I've overcome it...

time and time again!

It is for this moment,

that I needed you, my son!

"Happy," you say?

I wasn't calling into question
how you felt.

I can't imagine how being with them
benefits you in any way.

That's what I'm saying.

Have you grown by
being with them?

Compared to the few years
you've spent with them...

you should've grown much more

in the instant His Majesty
gave you power.

If friends are there to heighten
one another...

It is not them, but His Majesty
you should risk your life for.

You said the balance is a choice.

I chose to be with them.

There is no self-interest there.

No right, no wrong...

Because we're friends.

I see.
I understand now.

So, you have no intention
of forsaking anything...

even though you were accepted
by His Majesty.

Then at least forsake your life,
Uryu Ishida!

Bankai!

Tensa Zangetsu!

Don't look so grim, Ichigo.

I paid respect to your power.

A new Tensa Zangetsu...

I concluded that
it's a formidable Bankai,

so I broke it in the future.

Bankai!

Bankai, huh?

I like that word.

Ren—!

It's because it's a powerful word
that allows you Soul Reapers

to rise up no matter
what the circumstances.

Thanks to that word,

I was able to crush the hearts
of the Soul Reapers that rose up,

many times over.

You've overcome despair
countless times,

and changed the future, right?

Do you understand
why you were able to do that?

It was because I wasn't there.

My dear Ichigo...

Try and change the future.
Show me.

No matter how magnificent
that future may be...

I will be watching it.

And... I shall cut apart the future
you've changed.

Now, do not despair,

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

BLEACH: THOUSAND-YEAR BLOOD w*r

Why are you
looking at me like that?

Did you think I was disappointed

that His Majesty robbed me
of my power?

Quite the opposite.

I'm actually honored
he didn't take your power...

I'm honored that
he chose to take my power.

Because that means

I'm the only one
who can be of service to him.

Is that so?

Wait, Uryu Ishida.

Transfer your wounds onto me
before you go.

I will... die soon.

Wounded or not...

...that won't change.

What are you saying?!

What's the matter?

Is that pity?

Weren't you trying to k*ll me
just a moment ago?

But—!

Why are you hesitating?

I thought I told you
to put everything on a balance.

Decisions made without
weighing them on a balance,

made hastily in doubt...

will all end up as regret.

Then weigh that on a balance
as well, Uryu Ishida.

You should go help your friends...

Even if the results won't change...

The point is to decide
as you please.

To move forward as you please.

I have no regrets.

Not one...

We are drawn to each other

Like drops of water

Like the planets

We repulse each other

Like magnets

Like the colors of our skin...
