atashi wa atashirashiku

On my own terms...

I wanna chAngE

...I wanna change.

Now then...

Preparations are finally complete.

We will soon begin our invasion of Karakura Town.

I will wipe out Karakura Town, create the Ouken,

and bring down the Soul Society.

The door to a new world will be opened.

Stark, Barragan, Halibel...

I'm counting on you three.

We shall not fail you, Lord Aizen!

Invasion, huh?

Y-You bastards!

Jakuho Raikoben.

Go.

Oh, dear...

It looks like another one of your allies has gone down.

Captain!

A-Are you all right, Captain?

Stop doing that.

I told you, it's disgusting.

It made a cr*ck in the Shiju Saimon barrier.

The Jakuho Raikoben...

Its power is truly incredible.

Are you all right?

Of course she's not, fatso!

What if she'd d*ed?!

Under normal circumstances,

I can only use the Jakuho Raikoben once every three days.

I used it twice in one day.

I'm going to make sure you compensate me for this.

Yes, of course.

I will trap Mr. Urahara in one of my barriers for a month, as promised.

The barrier...

It can't be!

Unforgivable!

Wh-What?!

No...

Unforgivable!

It's not possible...

Completely unforgivable!

Unbelievable... He's still alive after getting hit with my Jakuho Raikoben?!

Is he immortal?!

I'm going to k*ll you.

I'll do it with my own hands.

I am the king of Hueco Mundo.

I am a god. I will never die.

You will regret your insolence towards

the emperor... and turn to dust!

What's driving him to go this far?!

Is it his loyalty to Aizen?!

Do you really think that will prevent you from aging?!

I will k*ll you!

How impudent!

Do you think mimicking a Hollow will work against me?!

Know your place!

I am the emperor, Barragan Ruizenban!

I am the god of Hueco Mundo!

Hachigen Ushoda!

Puny, puny, puny, puny! How puny you are!

Soul Reapers, humans, Hollows, Arrancars...

Their respective differences, and the quarrels between them...

Free will, freedom, animals, plants, the moon, the stars, and the sun...

They are all of little importance!

The only thing that is absolute in this world is my power!

Everything aside from that is a trifling matter.

I hold supreme power. The world should be under my control!

Equality cannot exist if there are rivaling powers!

Look! To me, your lives are equal to those of ants!

I commend you!

I'm surprised an ant like you has injured me!

Feel proud of yourself in hell!

Wh-What is this?

You said it yourself.

It's your power, the only thing that is absolute in this world.

I thought it was strange...

Everything that touches your power grows old, rots, and turns to dust.

So why don't you turn to dust?

From there, I came up with a theory.

You have surrounded your body with something

that can stave off your power.

So if I placed your power inside of you,

a place where your power would normally never reach...

My power? But how?

Where's your right arm?

What is the meaning of this?

I've given it to you.

He severed his own arm with a barrier and transported it inside of Barragan!

Th-That old man is crazy.

If your power is absolute,

then you yourself should not be able to withstand that power.

I had no proof of this when I made this gamble.

But I'm glad that I made the right call.

Curse you, ant!

Defying a god...

Unforgivable, unforgivable!

This is unforgivable, you ants!

The word "god" is not very familiar to us Soul Reapers and the Soul Society.

Thus, we are unable to understand the weight of your words.

Please forgive our lack of faith, god of Hueco Mundo.

C-Captain! He did it!

He did it!

You can still move?

I won't die...

I can't die yet.

I've sworn revenge.

You... I will k*ll you!

I will do it with my hands.

I am a king... I am a god...

I will never die...until I k*ll you!

Ushoda!

Die with me!

I don't need any.

I'm bored.

Nothing is more meaningless than an army without an enemy to conquer.

Don't you think so?

Even if I ask, I suppose no one is going to disagree with me.

What's going on?

Gagamel's been k*lled!

Wh-Who are you?!

Unforgivable.

Get them!

Wait...

This is just the thing I need to pass the time. I'll handle them.

Pleased to meet you. I am Aizen... Sosuke Aizen.

You must be Barragan, king of Hueco Mundo.

Indeed. And what are you?

Seeing that you do not wear masks, I can tell you are not Hollows.

Are you humans? Or are you Soul Reapers?

Hmph. Well, it doesn't matter what you are.

I was getting pretty bored.

If you hadn't shown up,

I would have split my army into two and had them k*ll each other.

In any case, I suppose I should greet you.

Welcome to my castle, Las Noches.

How amusing. This place with no roof or walls is a castle?

I don't need a roof.

As king, all of Hueco Mundo's skies are the roof of my castle.

I see the king of Hueco Mundo has a sense of humor.

Stop, Kaname.

There's no point in quarreling.

Yes, sir!

Anyway, let's have a chat, your majesty.

Could you take a look at my sword?

My Kyokasuigetsu...

What is this all about?

I wish to ask your majesty a question.

A question?

That's right.

Are you satisfied with your self at the moment?

What?

Have you ever felt that the world was not the way it should be?

Do you wish to achieve higher greatness?

I shall help you.

Obey me.

If you do, I will give you greater power.

Greater power, you say?

That's right.

My research will soon be complete.

My research to transform Soul Reapers into Hollows and Hollows into Soul Reapers.

By removing the boundaries between these two opposing states of being,

one can achieve higher greatness.

You could step forth into a new world.

Laughable! Laughable!

Greater power?! A new world?!

Don't make me laugh, you ants!

I am king of Hueco Mundo!

The king of the world!

No one can surpass my power!

No world exists other than the one I open up!

I see.

Get them, my minions!

Crush these arrogant ants!

My, my...

I shall take you on.

You're going to be k*lled by the king of Hueco Mundo.

Consider it an honor.

Isn't it ironic, king of Hueco Mundo?

What?

Even though you're a Hollow,

the way you wield your w*apon and your giant black form...

It looks a lot like that of a Soul Reaper.

Silence!

Fool.

You talk big, but is that all you've got?

Honestly... How pathetic...

Wh-What?!

Y-You... Why are you alive?

My Zanpakuto, Kyokasuigetsu, has the power of complete hypnosis.

Complete hypnosis?

In other words, the person you defeated was an illusion.

Shatter, Kyokasuigetsu...

Wh-What is this?!

This is your world.

Y-You bastard!

Don't do anything pointless.

You can't k*ll me.

Yes... On that day, I made a vow.

That I would take my revenge on you!

That I would take back my throne!

Die with me!

I will k*ll you.

I will do it with my hands.

You will regret giving me power!

I am a king! I am a god! I will never die!

I will chase you down forever!

Sosuke Aizen!

King of Hueco Mundo...

Even you were but just a tiny life

who feared death and tried to avoid aging.

Oh my. It looks like they really defeated him.

Where are you looking? I'm your opponent.

Don't be so hasty. Let's take our time, okay?

I don't have any time to waste with you.

After I'm done with you, I've got to k*ll that bastard Aizen!

That's too bad...

Number Two is dead and no one says anything.

How sad.

What's wrong?

Be quiet, Lilinette.

Are you crying?

Ouch!

Hey! Stark!

Stark?

I'm usually not the type to avenge others, but...

koe sae ushinattemo

Even if I was stripped of my voice...

boku wa koko de utau darou

I'd be here, singing my song.

koko kara hibike

Echo out from here!

miminari ni kesareta seijaku no yoru

The ringing in my ears stole the night's tranquility.

katachi nai mirai wo oikaketeta

I chased a future that doesn't exist...

sono te wa kuu wo tsukandekita kedo

Yet all I caught was nothing itself.

Listen to it! Listen to it!

deai ga tsumuideku merodi

The melody of the people we meet.

Listen to me! Listen to me...

oto ni kawaru

...as I become sound.

ima wa mada konna ni chiisa na kono koe ga

Though my voice is still small and meager today...

itsuka wa tsuyoku hibiiteiku kara

One day it shall gloriously resound.

Listen to it! Listen to it!

yasashiku yuriokosu merodi

The sweet melody that'll awake you from your slumber.

Listen to me! Listen to me!

kimi ga omou kimi e

My song will reach the person you want to be.

You and I both have Kansai accents.

I was hoping we could get to know each other better.

You have an Osaka accent.

I have a Kyoto accent. Don't put us in the same league.

What's the difference?

The Osaka accent lacks elegance.

I take back what I said!

I swear on my loyalty to Osaka that I will defeat you!

"Dead spirits are said to float around in the outskirts of town."

Ichigo!

What are you doing here?

Renji said that he wanted to practice his Kido in secret, so I'm helping him.

Hey, Rukia! Don't tell him!

It's your fault for not having any control!

Come on, Renji, once more!

O-Okay... Shakkaho!

You fool! How many times do you have to do this until you get it?!

Shakkaho!

- What is that supposed to be?! - So that's the story...
