03x21 - Gather Together! Group of the Strongest Shinigami!

[bunniefuu]

Ever since the powers of the Soul Reaper were thrust upon me,

my whole world has changed.

I'm Substitute Soul Reaper, Ichigo Kurosaki.

I wield this sword with all of my soul and strength

to protect my precious friends!

You are my one and only.

No one can take your place.

Never fade, my only flower.

The sun never blinds you.

You are like a flower that blooms in shade.

Exhale those feelings you hold inside.

You are my one and only; now and forever.

The day may come when all will rise against us,

but I will protect you.

Never give up, my only flower.

TIME NOTICE THAT YOU SHOULD NOTICE THAT

NOTICE THAT THERE'S NO OTHER

It's been quite some time since I last saw your face.

What's with the change of heart, Komamura?

How can you still smile like that, Aizen?!

You betrayed all of us!

I will not forgive you!

You too

Tosen!

S-Sorry

I didn't think anyone was here

This way.

Huh?

That's odd

Sorry, I mean

I didn't think you were there.

I'm Kaname Tosen. Pleased to meet you.

You really are good at hiding your presence.

I can't see, but I was never unable to sense someone's presence

Komamura?

You're Komamura, right? It's been a while!

I see. You've also joined the Thirteen Court Guard Squads.

Do you want to join my Squad?

I have a wonderful superior!

I'm sure you'll like him, too.

You're Komamura, right?

I've heard about you from Tosen.

Pleased to meet you. I'm Squad Lieutenant

Sosuke Aizen.

Why did you become a Soul Reaper?

In order to repay the kindness to one man who saved me.

A debt of gratitude, huh? That is your style.

What about you, Tosen?

Me? Well

Tosen!

Explain yourself if you can!

Or can't you?

How regrettable, Tosen!

Bankai!

Impossible

Aizen is still standing next to Tosen

Hado .

Kurohitsugi.

They're both captains

yet there's such a difference in strength.

Kyokasuigetsu's perfect hypnosis is flawless.

There no way to escape it even if you know it coming.

Hado without the chant. How scary.

When did you learn how to do that?

No, it was a failure

I didn't even get a third of its true destructive force.

Ninety really is hard to control.

Now then

Sorry, I hadn't finished explaining, had I?

Kurosaki!

Stay back!

Kuchiki!

Oh no no. You shouldn't be moving.

Inoue! Ishida!

What incredible Spiritual Pressure!

Rukia Kuchiki

When I found out you were in the World of the Living,

the first thing I did

was to eliminate the Central .

Wha--?

Isane probably told you

“Sosuke Aizen faked his death and hid his whereabouts.â€

“Afterwards, he slaughtered Central .â€

But that's not true.

As soon as I discovered you, I immediately k*lled Central

and used my Kyokasuigetsu

on the entire central underground assembly hall.

So that it looked as if Central was still alive and having meetings.

We always had one of us three in the underground assembly hall.

Since then, we had been acting as Central

and been issuing all of their orders.

To make sure of your arrest,

I sent those two from Squad to apprehend you.

In order to separate you from the humans

I ordered the immediate return and destruction of your gigai.

In order to completely evaporate your soul

and take the Hogyoku from within you,

I decided to have you ex*cuted with the Sokyoku.

The only time we weren't in the underground assembly hall

were the few hours surrounding the two Captain's Meetings.

I faked my death soon after that and hid underground.

Because I knew there was a possibility

that the execution might fail because of you guys.

There are only two ways

to remove a foreign object planted directly into a soul.

You can use an intense thermal disruption like the Sokyoku

which will evaporate the soul that envelops it

Or by some other method that will interfere with the soul's composition

and forcefully separate them

In the unlikely event that the execution by Sokyoku failed,

I had to find that other method.

For that, I needed the information

kept within the underground assembly hall's Daireisho Archive.

I looked up Kisuke Urahara's past research.

He was the one who developed the technique

to plant a foreign object into a soul.

So I figured that the technique needed to remove it

must be hidden somewhere in his research.

Yes.

This is that answer.

Wait--!

I'm surprised.

It's so small.

This is the Hogyoku

I see.

The soul is unharmed.

What a wonderful technique.

But, too bad.

I have no use for you anymore

k*ll her, Gin.

Oh well.

sh**t 'im dead, Shinso!

B-Brother!

Brother!

Brother why?

Why did you save me?!

Let's go, Jidanbo!

All right!

Bones of beasts scattered far and wide!

Steeple crimson crystal! Steel wheels!

Wind in action! And the sky at rest!

The sound of flying arrows, fill the hollow castle!

Hado : Raikoho!

Sis!

Jidanbo!

This is another face I haven't seen for quite some time.

Don't move!

If you move a muscle

We'll cut off your head!

I see.

Kukaku!

Hey, Yoruichi! I had too much free time

And since I was out on a walk, I thought I'd check in!

Well. That sure was flashy.

What should I do?

Don't move.

Sorry, Captain Aizen. I got caught.

This is it.

What did you say?

Don't you understand, Aizen?

There's no place

left for you.

Aizen

Captain Aizen!

It's over, Aizen!

What's so funny?!

Oh, sorry. It's time.

Get away from him, Soi Fon!

I-Impossible!

Menos Grande!

The Gillians! How many of them are there?!

No, wait

There's something else in there!

It's a bit of a let down

I wouldn't have minded being your prisoner a little longer

Goodbye, Rangiku.

I'm sorry.

You're going to run away? You

Stop!

Head Captain!

That light is called “Negacion.â€

The Menos use it to help save their fellow Hollows.

Once enveloped by that light,

it is impossible for those within and without to interact.

It's an isolated world.

All who have fought Menos know

The moment that light fell on Sosuke Aizen

it became impossible to reach him.

Tosen!

Come down here, Tosen!

I don't understand!

Why did you become a Soul Reaper?!

Wasn't it for your friend who passed away?!

Wasn't it to carry out your justice?!

Where has your sense of justice gone?!

I told you, Komamura.

The only thing I can see with my eyes is the least bloody path.

Justice is always there.

The path I follow is justice!

Tosen!

You've joined with the Menos

Why?!

To reach higher.

Have you fallen so much, Aizen?

You're too arrogant, Ukitake.

No one stood at the top from the beginning.

Neither you, nor me, nor the gods.

But that unbearable vacancy of heaven throne ends now.

From now on

I will stand atop the heavens.

Goodbye, Soul Reapers.

And goodbye, Ryoka boy.

For a human, you were quite amusing.

Groups Two and Three, care for Captain Kuchiki!

Groups Seven, Ten, Eleven, and Thirteen

all help to heal Captain Komamura!

Lieutenant Abarai has received stage six treatment.

Groups Eight and Nine, prepare for transport!

Let go!

They're all seriously wounded! Let move it!

Brother!

Brother!

Please stay back. He being treated right now!

I'm all right.

See to the others

P-Please, Captain Komamura!

That's good. Slowly

Excuse me Third Seat Iemura.

What should we do?

Help treat the Ryoka.

Huh?

B-But

You must've realized by now.

They saved the Soul Society. Now move!

Y-Yes!

Y-Yes!

But

That Ryoka girl

What's with her ability?!

Good work!

Captain Unohana!

What the condition of Captain Hitsugaya and Lieutenant Hinamori?

They've escaped death.

It up to them now.

Isane is continuing to treat them.

Who's left?

Captain Kuchiki and the Ryoka boy!

It doesn't seem like the Ryoka needs our help.

Huh?! Is that so?

You were reckless Captain Kuchiki.

Rukia Kuchiki

Come here.

Captain Kuchiki is asking for you.

Rukia Are you there?

Yes, Brother

There something I want to tell you.

An old story From fifty years ago.

In that year, before the first plum-blossoms bloomed

I lost my wife.

I know. Lady Hisana.

I was told that I looked like your wife.

That why you took a liking to me

and welcomed me into the Kuchiki family as your younger sister.

That's right.

I ordered everyone in the household to tell you that lie.

Huh?

Hisana was your older sister.

Hisana died in the World of the Living

and was sent with you to “Hanging Dog.â€

But life was too difficult there

She said she left her baby sister and ran away.

Hisana regretted that.

Even after she became my wife,

she searched for you almost every day.

Then, in the spring of our fifth year together

Lord Byakuya please find my younger sister

And if you ever find her,

please don't tell her that I was her older sister

Save your strength. Don't talk anymore

No Please don't let her know.

Please protect my younger sister with your strength

I abandoned my younger sister

Hisana

I have no right to be called her older sister.

But please allow her to call you “brother.â€

A plum blossom opened Look.

I'm sorry for depending on you until the end

I'm sorry I couldn't repay the love you gave to me

These past five years that we've spent together

have been like a wonderful dream

Lord Byakuya

I found you the following year.

I immediately welcomed you into the family.

It was the same as with Hisana.

The people of the household objected, saying that allowing someone

from the Rukon District into a noble home was against their law

and would tarnish the name of the Kuchiki family

But I defied everyone.

I wanted to fulfill my promise to Hisana no matter what

But, it's also true that I'd gone against the law

So I made a vow in front of my parents' grave,

in order to admonish myself.

I vowed that I would never again break a law,

that from then on, no matter what, I would uphold it.

I was so desperate to make Hisana wish come true,

I made two vows that I should not have made

When you were sentenced to death, I didn't know what to do

My vow to my parents to protect the law,

and my promise to Hisana to protect her younger sister

I didn't know which vow to uphold

Who would enforce our laws if we didn't uphold them?

If I were you, I would fight the law.

Ichigo Kurosaki.

I thank you.

Rukia

I'm sorry

All the days gone by have made me what I am

Life not easy; that why I can go on.

To the people hurrying by,

“Have your dreams come true?â€

I'm still struggling

Forget returning to my youth; I want to live today well.

I was born timid.

Out where the sun shines I fisted my hand tight.

Break out of that place, that time, and I can change my life

But I could never express everything deep in my heart

Life not easy; that why I can go on.

Yoruichi, you let me borrow all kinds of tools,

but where do you keep them?

My other form is a cat.

You know about the robot cat

with a pocket with infinite capacity, right?

It's the same with me.

So that was it!

You're stupid, aren't you?
