13x22 - Dark History! The Worst Shinigami Is Born

[bunniefuu]

Zanpakuto

Their shape and abilities arebased on their Soul Reaper's soul.

Soul Reapers gain power

by learning their namesand synergizing with them.

They are born with Soul Reapersand die with Soul Reapers.

That is what Zanpakuto are.

Damn it! He's been awakened!

Let's go, Ichigo!

Okay!

What Spiritual Pressure!

He's been sealed awayfor so long

And yet he still possessesthis much Spiritual Pressure?!

You've awakened Koga

I've waited for this momentfor so long.

Now's the time for usto complete our goal!

Muramasa

W-Why?!

About now,

Koga must be tied up in prisonfeeling pretty humiliated.

It totally serves him right.

Yes, that's true.

He used to boast soproudly of his power

I wish I could see how dejectedhe looks with my own eyes

You are so mean.

You, too.

When I first heard of this plan,

I had my doubts aboutwhether it would work.

But he fell for ithook, line and sinker.

It's over for him now.

Yes, it is!

What's wrong?

KKoga!

W-Wait, Koga!

Pardon the interruption!

What is it?

Sir! Third Seat Kuchiki broke outof the barrack jailhouse!

He k*lled the three Soul Reapersinvolved in that incident.

Do you feel better now?

What's the matter?

Nowhen I think back,it still makes my blood boil.

It's time for us to forget

Those men are no longer around.They're dead.

Let's use this opportunityto forget our past karma

and live our lives looking forward.

Sir Ginrei

Koga

Do you know what I have to say?

Why did you do such a thing?

Why did you k*ll them?

Because they betrayed me.

But stillI believed that they feltashamed about betraying me

But

They were laughing.

k*lling them

Still didn't makethe empty feeling in my heart

of knowing that they trickedand deceived me go away

What am Isupposed to donow?

You've completely lost any chanceof proving your innocence.

If you had reflectedon your situation,

conducted yourself properly andconfined yourself to quarters

from the moment suspicionwas cast on you,

everything would havebeen all right

Confine myself? Why me?!

I didn't do anything!

You didn't do anythingthat is true.

But what about now?

You may have had good cause,

but you committeda grave crime of

k*lling men who didnot draw their swords.

You will likely be put to death.

I am well aware ofyour superior abilities.

However, you stilllack the heart

to make full useof those abilities.

Your overconfidencebrought about this result.

Do not forget that you now bear

the title and responsibilityof our clan.

Ginrei

I understand now.

You're the same.You're just like them.

You act like you're on my side

You befriend meput me off my guard

But in your heart

you're just jealous of my power!

Koga!

WhisperMuramasa!

Ginrei! You bastard!

Don't close your heart!Undo that barrier!

Damn it!

That's all right

I'll save k*lling you for last.

There are tons of peopleI want to k*ll!

What's happening?!

Koga Koga

Koga

Why is your soulso agitated?

They're all enemies, anyway.

Everyone hates me.

I'll k*ll them before they k*ll me.

I'm doing what'snecessary to survive.

Let's forget about the past.

Can't you live your lifelooking forward?

Why am I so hated?

Is it because I am powerful?

Koga! Let's create a new world.I'll help you.

Is it this power that'scausing the harm?

Is it my power?

Koga?

Those people

Everything

Destroy

Koga

Your voice

WhisperMuramasa.

Muramasa, release!

I have news to report.

Koga's victims now exceedseveral dozen as of yesterday.

Because of Koga's unique abilities,

selecting even veteransquad members is meaningless

because their swordsget taken away

There is one way.

The only way to take onKoga's illusion-type Zanpakuto

is to understand his powerand close one's heart.

But in order to blockhis attack in that state,

one must possessconsiderable Spiritual Pressure

and an unyieldingmental fortitude.

Aside from myself, if there isone other person who could,

on top of all that,still cross swords with him,

we might have a chance

Anyone?

In that case

I will help you seal Koga away.

Koga?

Oh, it's you.

Why did you k*ll even innocentpeople in the Rukon District?

Yeahthat's because

I wanted to send a messageto all of the Soul Society.

A message? What for?

To show the foolishness ofostracizing me from this world,

and to show how powerless the SoulReapers are to stop my power

To do that, you indiscriminatelykill defenseless people?

Is that necessary to createour vision of an ideal new world?

"Our"?

What do you mean "our"?!Who're you kidding!

You consider yourself my equal?!

Koga?

You're my sword!

A sword should keep quietand do as it's told!

You're exhausted

You should rest

Shut up!

You're a sword—don't give me orders!

What brings you twosenior citizens here?

Did you come to kneel downbefore my power?

It would seem that'snot the reason

Koga

Wasn't your power for the purposeof making your ideal come true?

Ideal?

There are no ideals in this world.

All that exists beyond ideals

is the despair of being unableto make them come true.

But despair releasesmy true power

Despair is whattakes off my binding

and frees my heartto do as it wishes.

Kogayou're mistaken.

Only those with powercreate all order

Even if that power isdark black and ugly,

if that power wins, black becomesthe color of what is right!

Koga

It's useless, Ginrei.

This fellow is possessedby power—

he no longer hearswhat you're saying.

Interesting

I always wanted to cut downthe two of you one day!

Ginrei!

Are you going to fight mewith your heart sealed off again?!

You can't use all ofyour strength that way!

Don't mock me!

Bakudo !

Hainawa!

What the—?!

I know your powers better thananyone here in the Soul Society.

Dammit

Whisper

Muramasa!

What's the matter with you?!

Muramasa! Appear!

Release! Can't you hear me?!

Dammit!Why won't you appear?!

I'm calling for you!

– Koga seems unable to use Muramasa.– Muramasa!

Sir Genryusai, now!

Right.

Let's do it, Ginrei!

Right!

Good.

Shisokeppu!

Forgive me

Muramasa!

Muramasa!

Koga

Koga Why?

Why did you do this to me?

What?

What in the world is going on?

Koga?

You didn't answer me

When I was on the verge of being sealed away,

I called for you

You calledfor me?

You refused to lend me a hand

You say youcalled me?

Your voice did not reach meIt's the truth.

I waited so longfor you to call me

And if I was called,I would have come at any time

to assist you withall the power within me

That is how I felt

But for so long,your voice never called

Eventually, I learned thatyou had been sealed away

That's why I've beentrying for so long

to undo the seal

It's meaningless if you'renot there when I need you!

I, a Soul Reaper,gave birth to your power!

All you need to dois to do as I say!

Weren't we of one spirit?

"One spirit"?

To me, you're just a sword

Nothing more than a tool.

A mere tool shouldn'tbe so conceited!

You call your own Zanpakutoa tool and slay it

You have no right tocall yourself a Soul Reaper.

Muramasa's objective was Koga,

but Koga stabbed him,and then Byakuya appeared

Sohuh?

Next time,Senbonzakura will explain it

so even a monkeywould understand.

You can confirmyour facts at that time.

Just as I'd expect from you,Brother!

Thank you for beingso considerate.

I think he takes us for fools.

Illustrated Guide to Soul Reapers!

Byakuya.

Today, I'm going toexplain this to you.

The kenseikan is a headpiece

OSKENSEIKAN

that only high-ranking noblesare permitted to wear.

You'll be wearing it someday,as well.

Start thinking abouthow you'll wear yours.

Yes, Grandfather.

If I might ask, Grandfather?

What is it?

Where do you wear your kenseikan,Grandfather?

Grandfather?
