Welcome back...
Orihime.
What's the matter?
You look awfully troubled.
Smile.
Everyone will be sad if the sun doesn't shine.
Smile and wait here for a while... That is all you need to do.
Just until
we erase Karakura Town.
Erase...Karakura Town...?
Yes.
I will destroy Karakura Town to create the Ouken.
Aizen, who planned to create the Ouken
in Karakura Town, an Enriched Spirit Zone,
left his castle in the hands of Espada Number 5 Ulquiorra
and invaded Karakura Town with Gin and Tosen.
In order to rescue Orihime Inoue,
Ichigo, Ishida, Sado, Rukia, and Renji went into Hueco Mundo.
They, together with the four captains who arrived as reinforcements:
Byakuya, Kenpachi, Mayuri and Unohana,
found themselves left behind in Hueco Mundo
because of Aizen's trickery.
By then, however, Soul Society had already swapped Karakura Town
with a replica using Tenkaikecchu and turned it into a battle-ready zone.
All of the captain-class members, led by Genryusai Yamamoto,
gathered here to engage Aizen.
70M ABOVE KARAKURA TOWN
It seems we made it in time.
Made it in time?
Now why would you say that?
I'm well aware that what lies there is not Karakura Town.
But that means nothing to me.
Stark, Barragan, Halibel...come.
If Karakura Town is in the Soul Society,
we'll just kill you here and create the Ouken in the Soul Society.
That's all there is to it.
All things in the universe turn to ashes.
Ryujinjakka.
Jokakuenjo...
Aizen and the others won't be able to get past this wall of flames for a while.
Now then...
Shall we crush them at our leisure?
Geez...that's hot, hot...
Head Captain sure went overboard.
What'll we do now, Captain Aizen?
Nothing.
This battle will end without the need for us to get our hands dirty.
That's all it means.
Everyone!
Put your entire spirit on the line and crush them here!
Even if your flesh is torn from you,
use pieces of your bone to form an iron-clad wall!!
We mustn't let them step even one foot into the Soul Society!
Attack!!!
You! You! You!
I'm not falling for that!!
You're no competition even against just me!!
Wh-What?!
Y-You're...!
Hinamori...!!
Strike Above, Cierva!!
Eat Apart, Leona!!
Strangle to Death, Anaconda.
Quimera Parca!
Using a part of their own bodies,
Halibel's Fraccioines: Apache, Sun-Sun and Mila Rose
created Quimera Parca "Ayon"
and inflicted critical, nearly fatal, injuries on Rangiku and Hinamori.
Ayon then incapacitated Hisagi and Iba, who had come to help,
and extended its evil hands to threaten Kira,
who was administering emergency first-aid to the others.
However, just then...
Making the Head Captain come out to the front...
Such hopeless squad members.
Head Captain... Yamamoto...!!
Captain...was that...
Don't lose your cool. That was the Head Captain.
What?!
The Head Captain himself, fighting?
Omaeda...
Your face, please.
Huh? What is it?
Captain...I, Omaeda, won't fall for the same trick...!
We've come here to fight.
Even the Head Captain is no exception.
Don't be so stupid.
That's...mean...
Hmm...
It would seem... I didn't punish it enough.
What happened...? You didn't reach me.
What?!
A monster whose thoughts are only filled with killing people...
Pitiful.
Ryujinjakka, Hitotsume... Nadegiri...!
What...?!
I admire the spirit of challenging me with one arm.
Dammit...
In consideration of your spirit, I'll let you get off with just burns.
What?!
What is that?
Apache...Sun-Sun... Mila Rose...
You fought well...
With your level of strength... And you're still number three...?
With my level?
I don't recall showing you... the extent of my strength...
Bankai!!!
Daiguren Hyorinmaru!!!
You fellows...are strong.
Why thank you.
I wanted to keep dodging and wait until the battle ended...
But that's not going to be possible.
I'm happy to hear that...
My guess is that among the three of you,
that girl there is number three in ranking...
Am I correct?
Personally, it would be nice if that old gramps is number one
and you're number two.
I see.
Sorry to disappoint...
But I'm number one.
I knew it...
Too bad...
When someone like you is number one... it makes it difficult you know.
AT THE SAME TIME
HUECO MUNDO, THE FIFTH TOWER
Are you afraid?
Lord Aizen has considered you unnecessary.
There is nothing to protect you anymore.
It's over.
You will die here, all alone, with no contact with anyone.
I'm asking if you are afraid.
I am not afraid.
Because everyone came to rescue me...
My heart is...
with theirs...
This is absurd.
Your fate and that of your friends are already set.
Even if your friends came,
it won't overturn the fact that all of you will die...
Sharing feelings with those who are about to die...
That is how you humans comfort yourselves.
It is one of your instincts to help you escape from fear and hopelessness.
Sharing feelings doesn't exist in the real world.
It is nothing more than a meaningless illusion you humans have.
You may be right...
Perhaps it is impossible to feel exactly the same emotions.
But by cherishing each other, our hearts can be that much closer.
Don't die! Don't die, Kurosaki!
You don't have to win! You don't have to keep trying!
Just don't hurt yourself any further!!
That's what it must mean to "be of one heart."
What is "heart"?
If I rip open your chest, will I see it inside?
If I split your skull, will I see it inside?
Kurosaki...
Step away from Inoue.
I was about to.
My duty is to protect Las Noches until Lord Aizen returns.
I've received no orders to take the woman's life.
Until those orders come, I will let this woman live.
However...
You are a different matter.
Killing you is synonymous with protecting Las Noches.
I shall eliminate you with my sword.
That was unexpected.
I didn't think you would draw your sword first.
I came here thinking that I'd have to start by making you draw your sword.
Can I take it you consider me an equal opponent?
At the very least, I consider you worthy of destroying.
That's good enough for me.
Kurosaki...
I finally remember what happened to the story up till now.
So you're saying you have forgotten?
Huh? Oh, the guy I was fighting against!
Kurosaki Ichigo...
What is it, "guy I was fighting against?"
Say my full name.
Oh come on now, "guy I was fighting against!"
Ta-da!
Today, I'll tell you about the important roles I played
in Illustrated Guide to Soul Reapers up until now.
Did you have any important roles?
In Illustrated Guide to Soul Reapers, I was sent off by teary-eyed lovelies.
In the Complete Quincy, I made those old daddies my retainers.
And in Arrancar Encyclopedia, I pounded my fateful enemy into a pulp!
You can look forward to more important roles!
THEY ARE ALL LIES
Is that right...? THEY ARE ALL LIES
