15x18 - The Depleting Reiatsu! Ichigo, Death Struggle of the Soul!

[bunniefuu]

Now, my Raiku

has the powers of both Head Captain Yamamoto's Ryujinjakka

and the Substitute Soul Reaper's Getsugatensho!

As strong as you are, Head Captain

You cannot remain unscathed after an att*ck with such power!

The time has come!

This ends right now!

Oh no!

RUKIA, Head Captain!

GENRYUSAI, Young lady?!

Thiscan't be!

Nozomi!

Stop! It's too much for you!

GENRYUSAI, This young lady

GENRYUSAI, Is she trying to protect me?

You can't absorb any more!

Get away, Nozomi!

Please stop!

You'll die!

GENRYUSAI, Out of the way!

Nozomi

RUKIA, Head Captain!

Old geezer!

RUKIA, Get a hold of yourself, Head Captain!

Nozomi!

Totally ignored me.

NOZOMI, Why?

GENRYUSAI, Why what?

NOZOMI, Why did you protect a Mod Soul like me?

GENRYUSAI, Don't get the wrong idea you fool!

GENRYUSAI, It'll take more than a thousand years

before I need to be protected by you!

GENRYUSAI, Besides

GENRYUSAI, You may be a Mod Soul, but you're just a young girl.

Be a bit more honest with her!

Old geezer!

RUKIA, Head Captain!

Hey! Old geezer!

Are you all right?!

Head Captain

Already?!

Rukia! He's coming!

RUKIA, Right!

Where's Kageroza?

Ichigo

Over there.

Kageroza

The bastard won't stay down.

Nozomi, you're okay.

Thank goodness.

It won't do any good, Nozomi.

You can't fight with that Zanpakuto.

Substitute Soul Reaper

Why do you try to stop me?

Because Nozomi doesn't want to go with you.

That's why!

Doesn't want to go?

Why?

Why do you say that?

What?

What the hell is with you?!

Of course she doesn't want to go with you!

Nozomi's creator

In other words, Nozomi's father.

The research is about to be complete.

Complete?

You mean taking over the World of the Living

and the Soul Society?!

We won't allow that!

That wouldn't make Nozomi happy!

Won't it?

It would make me happy.

So Nozomi should be happy, as well.

Stop spouting nonsense!

Nozomi's not like you!

Forgive me.

What's so funny?!

You.

You talk as though you understand Nozomi.

Unfortunately for you, no one understands Nozomi

better than I do.

Huh?!

What're you talking about?

It's simple, really.

Simply put, Nozomi and I

were born from the Reishi of a single Soul Reaper.

W-What's that mean?!

Exactly what it sounded like.

Hey, Nozomi!

What the hell is he talking about?!

I don't get it!

At least say something!

Come on, Nozomi!

Hey! Answer me!

It seems you haven't forgotten.

Hey!

Quit laughing at every little thing!

You see

Nozomi always knew.

If she was captured, we would become one.

That she would become your enemy.

That's why she tried to keep her distance.

You tried to push everyone away.

Didn't you, Nozomi?

But then, you began to feel

an attachment to these people who tried to protect you.

What's your name?

Where are you from?

NOZOMI, I won't tell you.

NOZOMI, Go away! Pervert!

NOZOMI, Keep your hands off me, pervert!

NOZOMI, Not my concern.

Don't worry, Nozomi.

From here on, we'll protect you.

NOZOMI, That won't be necessary.

NOZOMI, I'll fix things so he won't have to protect me.

NOZOMI, If I enter here and close the gateway,

no one will find me.

Ichigo and the others, all of us, said we'd protect you!

Is this what you really want?

Lots of good things will happen if you keep on living!

NOZOMI, You guys are all alike.

NOZOMI, You're all lousy perverts.

Don't go putting me with him!

At any rate, I don't know why I want to protect you.

But I heard it

a voice telling me I have to protect you.

NOZOMI, You are an idiot, after all.

NOZOMI, I'm a burden.

NOZOMI, Everyone tries to protect me

NOZOMI, But I don't have the power to do the same for them.

NOZOMI, But when I thought of wanting to protect you

NOZOMI, I had a sword.

That's why she couldn't tell you anything!

You nerdy bastard!

Quit mouthing off like you know everything!

Don't go telling Nozomi how she feels!

Mod Soul

Nozomi is me, and I am Nozomi.

Ask Nozomi herself if what I am saying is true.

Nozomi

You bastard!

I said not to laugh!

Ichigo

Kageroza!

You don't understand anything!

RUKIA, Ichigo!

You idiot!

You plan on fighting me in that condition?

However

It's futile in your current condition!

Damn it!

Nozomi

Come, we're going back

to where we belong!

To how we should be!

Come on, let's go.

NOZOMI, No.

NOZOMI, I don't want to go!

I see. How unfortunate.

In that case, I'll take you by force!

Damn it!

You bastard!

Stupid bastard!

Come!

-You

NOZOMI, -No!

-Damn it!

NOZOMI, No

Take this, you!

Nozomi!

What?!

Now's your chance! Run!

What?

Get away, you!

What're you waiting for?! Run!

Get away, Nozomi!

Damn you!

You're a Mod Soul,

but you're a total failure!

I'll eliminate you completely from both

the World of the Living and the Soul Society!

You pathetic fool!

NOZOMI, Tenran!

NOZOMI, Kon!

Nozomi!

What?!

Genryusai Yamamoto!

Sorry, I don't have time for you now.

GENRYUSAI, Come back here!

You saved my life!

Thank you!

I was so scared!

Even now, you still have your guard up.

Behind you!

How foolish.

What's the matter?

NOZOMI, Youget away now.

What're you saying?

We're going together!

NOZOMI, I can't run anymore.

NOZOMI, But you can make it alone.

I'm not going without you!

Come on! Get up!

Run!

Come on, hurry!

Get up!

Come on!

Man, you're heavy! Come on!

NOZOMI, Kon

Huh?

NOZOMI, You told me once beforeto live.

NOZOMI, Now it's my turn.

NOZOMI, Live.

What about you?!

No! We're going together!

NOZOMI, I'll be okay. I promise.

NOZOMI, I won't die.

But

No! We're not doing it that way!

I'm getting away together with you!

NOZOMI, You're such a stupid pervert.

Nozomi

NOZOMI, Shitotsusansen.

Huh?!

Why?

Hey, Nozomi!

Why're you doing this to me?!

That's

My Spiritual Pressure's

Hang in there for just one more att*ck.

Nozomi, I have you now!

Nozomi!

Get down, Nozomi!

It's gone!

Please Just one is enough.

Getsugatensho!

NOZOMI, Ichigo

I'm okay.

Let's go back

To where we belong.

NOZOMI, Impossible.

How did you

I took out a little insurance.

Back when I slipped near the slopes.

My Raiku is even capable of replicating myself!

What?

The me you defeated was nothing more than a replica.

Goodbye.

NOZOMI, Ichigo!

Nozomi Let's go back

to where we belong.

Nozomi!

Nozomi!

Nozomi!

Nozomi

Why do that for me?!

Why do I always end up getting protected,

and not able to do anything?!

There's no point for me to live like that!

Damn it!

Illustrated Guide to Soul Reapers!

TESSAI, Boss!

TESSAI, We've completed freezed the space.

All right, then let's go and help rescue Kurosaki and the others.

TESSAI, Just a minute!

TESSAI, Zaraki and Madarame's Spiritual Pressures have produced a fissure!

That's not good!

We'll need to deal with that first!

TESSAI, Whoa!

TESSAI, Now the protective barrier was destroyed

due to Miss Nozomi's technique!

What?!

TESSAI, The Head Captain and Kurosaki's combined techniques

opened a huge hole in space!

I didn't make it in time.
