02x03 - 14 Days Before Rukia's Execution

[bunniefuu]

Raise your eyes you can see sh**ting stars up in the night sky Raise your eyes you can see sh**ting stars up in the night sky One, two The sound resonates Into my heart, so hard and deep A field of stars spans endlessly And through it I carve a passageway In step with time as generations change Close your eyes and listen closely sh**ting stars stream on silently until the goodbye Keep the light inside of you, never give up don't ever lose Transcend time and you will prove, there is a special place for you A blaze of glory is there, It's all a part of our estate; life is our story to create Raise your eyes you can see sh**ting stars up in the night sky Wishes speak from ages old by voice of light Throughout the age, never fade away A secret fire, a scream of light, voices calling through twilight Cast your thoughts to the wind, hang your wishes on the moon Live your life with all your strength for dreams will reach you very soon Raise your eyes you can see sh**ting stars up in the night sky Wishes speak from ages old by voice of light Throughout the age, never fade away Someday your dream will find its place somewhere Keep shining like a star Huh!
Hey Hey!
What time is it?!
This is bad, Big Brother!
It's nine already!
What?!
For real?
Come, Bonnie!
Hah!
Good girl, Bonnie!
But we don't have time today!
Hurry up and let me on!
Hold it!
You're running away?!
Who do think's running away?!
Who do think's running away?!
Hey Dandelion!
We'll settle this for sure tomorrow!
So you just wait there nicely until then!
Now don't you go floating away like cotton!
Let's go, everyone!
Huh?!
Cut the crap!
That's my--!
They're gone.

That was a disaster I don't know what to say.

Damn it!
Just who the hell is he?!
I wonder if Mr.Jidanbo is all right?
His wound has closed, but Big-bodied men have lots of stamina.

I'm sure he'll be okay.

You're right.

He's so big and so strong.

I'm sure he'll be okay.

Still Who is this Kukaku Shiba we're going to go meet?
Yoruichi never gives us any details It's probably someone he knows who can get us to Seireitei without passing through the gates, right?
Probably, someone who is famous for his skill.

Oh!
It must be a certified pedigreed cat!
Like a Persian cat Or an American Short Hair or a Dalmatian.

Inoue Just because Yoruichi knows him, doesn't mean they're going to be a cat.

Alsoa Dalmatian is a dog!
A dog?
Judging from the name, he's probably a well-built man, someone like a samurai.

No, he'll be an old hermit-type master.

I know!
See?
Like this and this andhuh Done!
A hermit-like macho samurai with cat ears, and a tail!
No doubt about it!
I can't tell what you drew Oh?
Then how about a skinny guitar-wielding samurai?
You don't understand, moue.

He has to have a cape.

Too bad!
Anyways, Kurosaki is late.

Shall I go get him?
No, I'll go see.

I have to think about how the next Kukaku Shiba's gonna look like!
Noyou don't have to Huh?
What?!
Not going?!
Not "not going.
" Just go on ahead.

I'll go after I finish the fight with that guy from yesterday!
What are you saying?!
Quit joking aroundand come!
I don't want to!
He'll think I ran away!
So what?!
Hey, hey Aren't we going yet?
Inoue!
Help me drag this dummy away from here!
W-Who's the fool?!
I'm gonna beat him up quickly as soon as he shows up, and I'll follow you guys, so go on-!
Ouch!
Have you lost your cool and forgotten why you're here in the first place?
Fool!
Rukia's life depends on this journey.

Surely, you haven't forgotten, have you?
You can't waste time just to see who's more stubborn!
If you understand, get ready!
What is itRenji?
Did they move up my execution date?
It's less than 14 days to the execution.

The use of the Sokyoku has been granted.

You're being transferred to the Shishinro, Repentance Cell.

Hey Looks like we've come to the outer reaches of a village.

Are you sure this is the right way?
Hey!
Shut up!
According to the map the Elder gave us, it's supposed to be around here.

If you have any complaints, you take the lead!
No, I'm not complaining.

Kukaku Shiba probably wants to keep his identity a secret, that's why he lives in a place like this.

Unfortunately, that is not the case.

It's just that person's nature and personal preference.

Don't worry.

This person moves around quite a bit, but their house is always built the same way.

Once I see it, I'll recognize it.

Once you see it, huh?
Yes, yes.

Just once Oh, I see it!
There it is.

- Wha--!
- What's this?!
Wow!
How neat!
You can recognize once you see it, right?
That's not the issue!
"Wants to keep his identity a secret?" That's a lie!
He's probably not allowed to live in town because he builds houses like that!
That's gotta be it!
Hmm This time, they went with human arms holding the banner.

That's a nice touch.

- Each time - He changes the motif?
Let's go.

Okay!
Arghwe're going to that embarrassing house right now?!
I don't want to be seen walking into a house like that!
What's the matter?
Hurry up!
- Yes.

- Yes.

Hey Ishida!
I know you don't want to go, but hurry up!
What's that supposed to mean?
What's with that chimney?
It's awfully big compared to the house.

It looks like the opening is closed up.

What the--?
Hold it!
Huh?
Who goes there?!
Strangers!
And one is a Soul Reaper!
You're suspicious characters!
- I, Koganehiko - And Shiroganehiko - will not allow you to pass!
- Will not allow you to pass!
Be gone!
Or you'll die right here!
Damn!
Not gatekeepers again?!
The Soul Society is such a pain!
- Huh?
- Huh?
Master Yoruichi?!
A descending stairway as soon as you enter?
This house really is weird.

I wonder how you get upstairs?
Please pardon us!
We did not know it was you, Master Yoruichi, and your companions.

Please forgive our rudeness.

We're not his companions.

That's all right.

It's my fault for not notifying you beforehand.

Thank you!
Such generous words from such a great personage!
Please wait here a moment.

Y-Yes!
Yes, right away.

.

Master Kukaku!
Hey, it's been a while, Yoruichi.

K-Kukaku is - A Woman?!
- A Woman?!
I never said Kukaku was a man.

Huh?
Who are those kids?
Actually, Kukaku I have a favor to ask of you.

That's usually the case when you come visit.

Is it a difficult problem?
Most likely.

It's been a long time since we've talked like this All right.

Tell me, I love difficult things.

Can you see it, Rukia?
From that window over there?
The two tools which will be used for your execution.

That is the Sokyoku.

A prisoner who is held in this tower can look out the window that has been placed in the tower, and gaze out at the Sokyoku to repent.

That is why this is called the Repentance Cell.

Your hands Release!
Thank you for transferring the prisoner here.

We should take our leave.

Yeah Lieutenant Abarai Huh?
Lieutenant?!
Let me give you a bit of unconfirmed information: You've heard that there were Ryoka within the Soul Society yesterday?
Five of them And one of them wielded a sword as long as his body.

A Soul Reaper with orange-colored hair.

Huh?!
I see I get the picture.

All right, I'll take on the job.

Really?
Yeah.

If Urahara's involved, I can't refuse even if I wanted to.

However, while I trust you I don't trust those kids.

I'll include an underling to keep an eye on them.

An underling?
Yeah.

But he's actually my kid brother.

He's still a brat and not that useful.

Hey, are you ready?
Ohjust a minute.

I'm opening the door, so behave!
Y-Yeah!
How do you do?
!
My name is Ganju Shiba!
Please be good to me!
What?
You guys know each other?
I can't remember how long its been since I've seen her look so alive Ichimaru confronted them, so that kid probably isn't alive.

I It was probably good that I didn't tell her.

- Hey!
- Huh?
Hey, it's been awhile, Abarai.

Mr.

Aizen!
Can you talk?
Well It's been quite some time since we talked like this.

Yes.

Ever since you were sent to Kenpachi's How many years has it been?
You're with the Squad 6 now?
Errwhat did you want to talk to me about?
Abarai, you and her you were close to Rukia Kuchiki, right?
Don't deny it.

I heard you were friends from your days in the Rukon District.

Yes I won't waste any time then.

In your eyes, should she die?
Well I don't understand your question.

Don't you think it's strange?
Her crime was the unauthorized transfer, and loss, of her spiritual energy, and staying longer than allowed outside.

Certainly, heavy crimes, but the problem is how to deal with them.

The order for the immediate return and disposal of her Gigai.

The lessening of the grace period before execution from 35 days to 25 days, the authorization and use of the Sokyoku on someone who ranks below a captain.

They're all outside the norm.

I have a feeling that this is the will of one person.

Hold it, Captain Aizen.

What do you mean?!
I have a bad feeling.

Abarai, I may Attention all captains!
Attention all captains!
An urgent meeting will now be held!
I repeat!
Why you--!
Hah!
Serves you right!
- Lucky!
- What?!
Why you-!
- How's that?!
- Now I'm mad!
You bastard!
Why you-!
Did she have to go that far just to stop their fight?
I think I know why she always moves around.

It must be hard.

What's with you?!
Fighting from the minute you set eyes on each other Don't you know it's dangerous?!
You destroyed my house!
Hey!
- But Sis - No excuses!
You got any complaints?!
- Errno!
- No!
What's up with that?
Both brother and sister Huh?!
Hey brat!
This is my house!
If you have a problem about the way I do things, get outta here!
I-I'm sorry.

Okay.

As long as you understand.

Your older sister is scary.

Right?
All right.

Everyone, stand!
- Yes!
- Yes!
Koganehiko, go outside with Shiroganehiko and start the preparations.

Right!
The rest, be quiet and follow me!
Wowwhy is there light when we're underground?
I didn't see any generators.

I keep hotarukazura in the ceiling cracks and on both sides of the wooden frames.

Hotarukazura?
Is that a plant or something that is only found in the Soul Society?
We're here.

This is it.

We're here.

This is it.

Um Open it, Ganju.

Right!
Umm!
What's the big idea?!
Don't defy her!
Okay?
Heave!
W-What is this?!
It's huge!
I'll sh**t you guys into the Seireitei with this.

From the sky.

- The sky?!
- The sky?!
My name is Kukaku Shiba.

I'm the #1 fireworks expert of the Rukon District!
With much appreciation I send a rhapsody filled with treasured thoughts To the people who have always held me up Thank you for everything Thank you so much Wherever I may be I'll always be grateful for who you are I was casually walking through town Around the time dusk fell and the city was bathed in red It was an afternoon with crowds of people coming and going I don't know why but I just stood there and watched Then my cell phone started to vibrate and I made myself move hoping it could fill in this hole in my heart You're not alone You see, everybody We gotta hold each other up With much appreciation I send a rhapsody filled with treasured thoughts To the people who have always held me up Thank you for everything Thank you so much Wherever I may be I'll always be grateful for who you are This is the Special Hard Spiritual Partition Penetration Device that my sister invented that can break through the barrier which surrounds the entire Seireitei and it's made from the Sekkiseki which breaks down spiritual energy completely.

Oh Can you repeat that?
Forget it!
Squad Five Lieutenant, Momo Hinamori!
Starting today, she's my little sister!
Starting today, she's my little sister!
