08x04 - Rukia Retaliates! Release the Desperate Kidō

[bunniefuu]

Aizen has abducted Orihime.

In order to save her,

Ichigo, Ishida, Sado, Rukia, and Renjihave marched into Hueco Mundo.

They crush the Arrancarsstanding in their way

and finally make their wayto Las Noches.

Upon breaking into the palace,

the group decides to split upand go down separate paths.

Espada Number , Aaroniero Arruruerieappears before Rukia.

Follow me.

Even more surprising is that underAaroniero's mask is the face of

the late Squad LieutenantKaien Shiba.

I-It can't be

Sir Kaien

It's been a while.

You're looking well, Kuchiki.

I'm glad you're the onethat came here.

You're probablythe only person

who can handle the planI'm going to reveal to you.

I want you to bring meall of your friends' heads.

Don't worry

You know all of their abilitiesand weaknesses, don't you?

It shouldn't be difficult ifyou catch them off guard.

If you do this, I'll completelyforgive you for k*lling me!

Isn't it easy?

It's a small price to pay for my life,isn't it, Kuchiki?

Right?

What's wrong, Kuchiki?

You're not going to sayit's a joke this time, are you?

Kuchiki

Obviously

Letting me go if I hand over my friendsYou'd never joke about that.

Don't insultSir Kaien!

Sir Kaien would neverforce someone

to choose betweentheir friends and themselves!

Dance Sodenoshirayuki!

Rukia's Spiritual Pressure?

Is she winning?

No

Crap! It's too far away.I can't tell!

Don't suddenly show your face!

When I seeyour face up close,

I feel like I'm going tohave a heart attack!

And why are you so surprised?

I was surprised thatyou screamed so suddenly!

More so, you suddenly stoppedand started talking to yourself.

Is something wrong with you?

Shut up!

I'm not bad enough for youto have to worry about me!

Let's move on!

Oh! Wait for me!

Rukia

Don't die!

Dance

Sodenoshirayuki.

Somenomai

Tsukishiro.

What's wrong, Kuchiki?!

Is that the extent of your power?!

Somenomai Tsukishiro

Tsuginomai Hakuren

I know both of those techniquesvery well!

Who was the one whohelped you while you trained?!

It was me!

You created both of those techniquesas I watched!

Do you really think thatthey'd work against me, Kuchiki?!

This manisn't Sir Kaien.

He's not Sir Kaien.

These Spiritual Pressures are

Ishida and Sado!

You seem to be worried.

Your friends are fighting

Privaron EspadaFallen Espada.

They're not Espada.

Why are you feeling relieved?

They may be called Fallen Espada,but they're former Espada.

They're not to be taken lightly.

One of your friends just defeatedone of the Fallen Espada,

but he's takenquite a bit of damage.

You can sense him, can't you?

That is indeed Ichigo'sSpiritual Pressure.

It looks like there was no needto ask you after all.

Your friends aregoing to die soon.

What are you going to do,Kuchiki?!

You can't do anything,can you?

Tsuginomai

Hakuren!

Using Hakuren as a diversionso you could attack me directly.

Your plan was good,but it won't work!

You still don't understand?

Or is that the extentof your power?

Oh well

Rage throughthe seas and heavens!

Nejibana!

Brings back memories, doesn't it?

Why?!

It's over, Kuchiki.

Here I go!

Prepare yourself, Kuchiki.

This unique high stance

This spear techniquethat resembles a dance,

that mainly consists oftwirling with one hand.

And

The way he splitsthe enemy into two

by crushing them with waves he createsalong with his spear attack.

Without a doubt,they're Sir Kaien's techniques.

No matter how muchI deny it in my heart

My eyes

My body

The reality before me continues to saythat this man is Sir Kaien!

I must not believe inthe man that stands before me,

but believe in the Sir Kaienof my memories!

I must believe inthe warm-hearted Sir Kaien

who taught me how to fightand gave me a place to exist!

Whoa!

What's wrong, Ichigo?

That Spiritual Pressure just nowRukia?

No It's not just Rukia.

Ishida and Chad too.

It'll be all right!I'm sure they'll be all right.

I'm sure of it.

I-I can't breathe.

Oh!

Uh Sorry, sorry!

I was thinking about something.

Dead

N-Nel?! Get a hold of yourself!

Nel, I'm sorry!

Ichigo

Are you really sorry?

I really am! I'm sorry!

Forgive me!

I'll forgive you if you let meride on your shoulders!

Wha?

Come on!

Now's not the time tobe fooling around!

You won't let me ride on our shoulderseven though you were choking me!

A-All right!All right, don't cry! Jeez!

Is it really all right?

Yeah. It's really all right.

Then let me get onyour shoulders and let's go!

Yeah!

Go faster! Go faster!

You little

It's over.

Hado

Sokatsui!

An Eishohaki?

You've improved.I'm impressed.

But that's not enoughto defeat me.

What's this?Why did he run away?

I'm completely defenselessnow that he dodged my kido.

It would have only takenone strike to k*ll me.

Shall I tell you?

Follow me.

That's right

Come to think of it,

there was one thing thatbothered me from the start.

He's not Sir Kaien.

Everything that the lightfrom that blue sky hits

is under Aizen's surveillance.

Everything he says is a lie.

If that's the case

Why did he lure me into this palacebefore taking off his mask?

I can't seem to stand sunlight.

I don't plan onbelieving his words.

But this is worth testing out!

Bakudo !

Hainawa!

What are you doing, Kuchiki?!

A small technique tobuy yourself time at this point?

Mask of the flesh and bloodUniversal soar

The one crownedwith man's name

Carriage of ThunderGap of the spinning wheel

Divide into six with light

A double incantation?!

Wait for the edge of the great firein the distant heavens

Bakudo : Rikujokoro!

Crap

Hado : Soren Sokatsui!

Wh-What are you?!

My cover has been blown.

Well, it can't be helped.

I shall reintroduce myself.

We are Espada Number

– Aaroniero Arruruerie!– Aaroniero Arruruerie!

Wh-Who are you?!

Don't make me keeprepeating myself.

I'm Espada Number ,Aaroniero Arruruerie!

Keep quiet about our face.

We've heard morethan enough

About our face.

Rikujokoro, huh?

Of your current captains,

Byakuya Kuchikiis skilled in this Kido.

He even knows that!

A double incantationRikujokoro and Soren Sokatsui

I don't have memories of youbeing able to use this technique.

What a fool.

If you hit me with that attack directly,you would have at least scratched me.

That comes second.

I realized that I could

reveal your true identity by canceling out

your transformation ability with sunlight.

So?

This is most important to me!

It proves that youare not Sir Kaien!

Now that it is clear,I can k*ll you without remorse!

Did I hear that correctly?

I thought I heard you say that you coulddefeat me if you had no remorse.

That's what I said.

Don't underestimate me.

I can't use my powerin the sun.

That is true.

But I can use it as long asI have a shadow.

However many times I like.

Honestly

I'm not sure if it's for surveillanceor whatever, but it's a real bother.

Hueco Mundoonly has darkness.

Creating something similar to the sun inthe World of the Living is just unthinkable.

There are guys like me who canonly use their powers in darkness.

You said that my power wasa transformation ability, right?

Are you saying that it's not?

It's not.

You should know.

What do you mean?

I'm the only Gillianwithin the Espada.

What of it?

Under usual circumstances,

I wouldn't have the powerto join the Espada.

But I've joined the Espada andI've been given the number nine.

Do you know why?

That's because

Out of all of the Arrancars,

I am the only one who canevolve infinitely!

This ability is originally fromthe Hollow that Kaien Shiba fought.

It's Metastacia'sspiritual body fusion!

After he died andreturned to Hueco Mundo

I gained his power by devouringMetastacia's spiritual body!

You devoured him?

That's right.

My ability is Glotoneria.

I devour dead Hollows

and make their abilitiesand Spiritual Pressure my own!

This is the power I receivedwhen I devoured Metastacia

when he came backin Kaien Shiba's body!

Th-Then

That's right!

That nostalgic feelingyou had was no mistake!

This body is Kaien Shiba's!

In his body,all of his experiences.

In his brain,all of his memories.

They're all there!

I just read his memories andexperiences and acted accordingly!

It's over. I'll show youan Espada's sword release.

Devour! Glotoneria!

Riding on someone's shouldersis fast, high and fun!

Ichigo is a master at letting peopleride on his shoulders.

I'm so jealous. I want to rideon someone's shoulders, too!

Why are you saying that to me?!

Renji

Don't come near me!

They look like they'rehaving so much fun!

THE ARRANCAR ENCYCLOPEDIA

Today I will talk aboutthe creatures in Hueco Mundo.

Small Hollows also live here.

They live by consumingthe reishi in Hueco Mundo's air

and absorbing nutrients.

Who are you?

Are you a creaturethat eats similar things?

You can't speak?

I don't understandwhat you're saying.

This is problematic.

Don't eat everything!
