Ichigo and his friends are suddenly attacked by an elite group of Arrancars.
During the battle, Orihime is taken to Hueco Mundo.
Ichigo and his friends realize Orihime's disappearance and try to go to save her,
but Genryusai forbids them from taking action.
Furthermore, Genryusai determines that the Arrancars are prepared for battle.
He orders Rukia and Hitsugaya's advance troops to return to Soul Society.
Ichigo is left alone in the World of the Living.
He ignores Genryusai's orders
and decides to go to Hueco Mundo by himself.
Ichigo goes to Urahara's Shop for a way to get into Hueco Mundo.
Waiting there for him were Ishida and Sado.
They too are prepared to go to Hueco Mundo.
Believe in us.
It seems like you're finally prepared.
Let's go!
I wonder if it was really a good idea for me to come here.
I wonder if the battle got worse because I healed those people.
No... But, right now,
I have to make them think that I'm of use to them, no matter what.
At least until everyone's prepared for battle.
Huh?!
What's this?
We arrived inside a pretty well-made building.
I imaged Hueco Mundo to be a little more disorganized.
Keep your voice down, Kurosaki!
Someone should have noticed us after the noise we made coming in!
Is this really Hueco Mundo?
Are you listening, Kurosaki?!
I'm listening!
Anyway, you're talking louder than I am!
Oh. Sorry...
Well, this will be a lot quicker if they notice we're here.
We can just catch the first guy who comes out
and make him tell us where Inoue is.
Hey! If anyone's here, come out!
Kurosaki?!
Stop standing around and look for someone!
Hey!
You're right...
Hey, Sado, too?!
Hey, wait!
All right. It looks safe.
Hey! Is anyone here!
Kurosaki!
What? It looks safe, right?
Then there's no problem...
As I keep saying, don't you have any sense of caution?!
Aw...Shut up...
Ishida, calm down.
I am calm!
Run!
Ishida! How could you do that?!
It's your fault to begin with!
Hey! Are you trying to blame this on me?!
Now's not the time to argue.
- I know! - I know!
It's a side path! What should we do?
Anything's fine! Let's go!
Sado!
Ishida!
Thanks... You saved me.
Jeez... What an old-fashioned trap.
And who's the one who fell for that old-fashioned trap?!
I'm sorry about that...
Well, as long as you understand!
Let's hurry ahead.
Anyway, this path looks safe.
How long does this hallway continue?
Don't ask me.
We've gone in pretty far...
We should find something sooner or later.
Still...
There's no sign of anyone at all.
Did we wander into somewhere strange?
Don't let your guard down, Kurosaki.
I know!
I'm being careful...
Huh?
This is...the same thing that happened earlier.
Kurosaki, what do you think that sound is?
I don't want to imagine what it is.
I thought so!
Jeez. What truly basic traps!
Now's not the time to be impressed!
I'm not impressed!
Chad?!
Leave this to me!
Chad!
Nice, Chad!
It's not nice!
I told you to not let your guard down!
All right, all right!
I was at fault this time!
Wait, Kurosaki! I'm not finished talking to you!
Who are you?
Ah!
They've shown up!
Wh-Why are we running away?!
We finally encountered an enemy!
It's the perfect chance to get information!
Are you stupid?!
If we fight in this narrow place, what'll we do if the building collapses?
We won't do anything!
It's not a problem if it collapses!
You really are stupid!
Didn't you notice while we were walking around?!
There aren't any windows in this long corridor!
So?
We're underground!
Is there any other reason why there wouldn't be any windows?!
So what if it's underground?!
Fighting here is not our best option!
We've got to wait until we come to a wide area.
Let's go through, Ishida!
A hall?
All right! You don't have any complaints about this place do you, Ishida?!
Stairs!
It might connect to the outside!
I'll go check!
Oh! Hey!
Where are you intruders going?
Another one!
I guess there wouldn't be only one in a place this wide.
It seems they've trapped us in between.
Don't say that, idiot!
Are they Arrancars, too?
They seem more like Hollows
than the ones that came to the World of the Living.
Well, that's all right.
Anyway...Chad, Ishida, you two should stand ba--
Wh-What are you doing, Chad?!
You're the one who's going to stand back, Ichigo.
We're going to...
...handle this.
What are you saying?
Save your stamina until we find Inoue.
Mr. Urahara gave me information about the Arrancars.
The guys that the Arrancar named Grimmjow brought with him
were a mixed team of Gillians and Adjuchas.
Menos Grande usually turn into humanoids
when they become Arrancars.
But it seems that only the Vasto Lordes, the highest ranking Hollows,
become humanoids 100% of the time.
As for the other two ranks, even if they become Arrancars,
many don't become completely humanoid.
Also...
The lower their intelligence, the closer to Hollows they become.
Ishida!
I can't ignore that.
Demora is one thing...
But I, Iceringer, have low intelligence?
I can't ignore that at all.
Ice!
Don't talk as if I'm the only one who's stupid!
Don't run away!
We can't become humanoid?!
We discarded our human forms so that we could gain enormous power!
Don't underestimate me, humans.
Ishida! Chad!
Shut up! Shut up and watch, Kurosaki!
You bastard!
I'm your opponent!
Ishida! What are you doing?!
I told you, you're in the way!
What?!
Chad! You, too?!
Get out of the way.
You don't have time to be concerned about others!
Chad!
Ichigo!
Kurosaki, keep out of this!
You two...
This guy...
I thought that it was just a regular slap,
but he's surrounding his hand with reishi when he attacks!
It's a more troublesome attack than it looks.
I can't construct my spirit weapon with the reishi disturbance.
If I could only gain a little distance...
Sado!
A slow attack...
He can't keep up with my Sonido.
I've already measured your fighting power.
One has power, but is slow.
The other is fast, but lacks power!
Here I go!
Now!
What?
Why is he just standing there?
Have you given up, you fool?!
Wait, Demora!
My, my...
Compatibility is important.
I've been fighting the same enemy for a while,
so I forgot the most basic thing.
We're fighting two-on-two...
If we have difficulty fighting one enemy,
we just have to trade off and fight the one that's easier to fight.
Power against power.
Speed against speed.
Now then...
Let's retaliate.
Wh-What is that?
Ishida?! Is that a bow?
Is it a bow, you ask?
Of course...
What weapon would I use besides a bow?
This is my new spirit bow...
Ginreikojaku.
I shouldn't have destroyed your mask.
You looked more pleasant when you had it on.
What's wrong? Aren't you going to show off your strength?
Is that all you've got?
Crap... You damn human!
Is that a Sonido?
As expected, you're fast.
Impossible!
There's no way that a human can keep up with the speed of a Sonido.
Sorry...
Unfortunately, I'm no ordinary human.
I'm a Quincy.
This is called a Hirenkyaku.
It's a Quincy high-speed maneuvering technique.
Personally, I think it's better than the Soul Reaper's flash step.
A Quincy?! An advanced class human?!
I don't know anything about that!
You don't know? I see...
You're embarrassingly ignorant, aren't you?
Shut up!
Even if you can keep up with my Sonido, nothing changes.
As long as your bow cannot guard against my Uña Tirotea!
Oh?! Are you going to shoot down all of my Uña Tirotea?!
What a simple solution!
You're like a child, Quincy!
Try your best!
But I'll tell you one thing!
My Uña Tirotea fires 108 shots in a row.
I'm going to see how long you can keep this up...
I see.
Then let me tell you one thing.
My Ginrei Kojaku fires...
1200 shots in a row.
Wha--?
Crap! Crap!
I can't lose to a small guy like you!
That's impossible!
Is that it?
The fact that you used that at this stage means that was your final attack.
Now it's my turn to attack.
Sorry...
I really don't like finishing off enemies who don't have any will to fight.
But it seems that this time...
I can't be so soft.
El...Directo.
It looks like all of the Espada will finally appear.
New guys are going to appear?
Soul Reaper captains, Visoreds, the Espada...
With this many people, someone's probably going to disappear.
Be careful, Kurosaki. In your case, you can't let your guard down.
Again?!
