02x11 - The Resolution to k*ll

[bunniefuu]

Pain that won't heal Sadness you feel Scars that just refuse to fade from memory Sometimes the burden 's too much for one to bear Don't give up on me, please don't turn me away Whoa!
I'll hold your hand in mine Will I lose my hold on her someday?
Will her smile fade In a flood of tears Or can I keep the fears at bay?
Echoing, distant voices wither into silence.

But there is one thing that will never ever age my love for you is timeless Pain that won't heal Sadness you feel Smiles with hearts' bitterness replaced "I'll never smile again" "I'll never let love in" Don't ever say such things to me A future we cannot see All happenings Find meaning in the story In time the clouds will clear away, so just stay, please stay with me Whoa!
Who are we to pass through you?
Whoa!
That answer will find you someday You seem to think that you already know my strength just by having fought me once.

Let me tell you something.

When the ranked Lieutenants and above are sent outside, our powers are severely limited so that we don't adversely affect the human world.

My strength right now is five times greater than before.

So no matter how strong you become, there's no way you can defeat me!
So does that mean that attack was the best you've got?
It didn't affect me at all!
Thank you!
If I'm dealing with 11 people like you, I think I can handle it.

You idiot!
Ichigo, you Are you all right?
Yeah, this is nothing.

It's amazing.

I can't believe that he can remain standing in his condition.

Damn it My vision is getting blurry.

And my legs are shaky.

Stop shaking, damn it!
You talk big, but it seems standing is about all you can do.

It's over!
If you didn't exist If she didn't meet you Rukia wouldn't have had to go through all this!
Oh!
Get away, Ichigo!
I won't let you get away!
Ichigo!
It's impossible It's impossible, after all.

Taking on a Lieutenant Kira this It's Abarai's Lieutenant insignia.

He disappeared in the middle of the meeting.

I was worried, so I went to Squad 6's barracks and this is what I found in front Of his room.

Are the Captains aware of this?
I haven't told them.

I see.

I thought about telling Captain Aizen, but I didn't want Abarai to get punished because of that.

Until we know what's going on, this is the best course of action.

Kira, what could this mean?
To take off the insignia before he left It must be very important.

Abarai's been mulling over the Kuchiki case a lot.

In any case, I'll look for him, too.

Stubborn bastard.

You want to save Rukia that badly?
Idiot!
Not "Want.

" "Will"!
Quit messing around!
Rukia's crime became more serious because you stole her powers!
Do you understand?
It's your fault!
It's your fault that Rukia will be k*lled!
I know that!
That's why I'm gonna save her!
I finally see it.

His limit is three att*cks.

Now listen up For anything that can be called an attack, the stronger the attack, the more limitation will be put upon the number of the att*cks.

Limitation?
Indeed.

Just like a g*n can only be fired six times.

A m*ssile only once.

Repetitive att*cks are always limited to certain numbers.

Which means extending his Zabimaru is one.

After that, when he uses it extended, is two.

And After the third attack his Zabimaru will return to its original state.

Let's test it out.

It doesn't have to be the same number each time.

What's crucial is the maximum number of att*cks.

When a battle is intense the enemy will always use the maximum number of att*cks.

You bastard!
One!
If you can figure out what that maximum number is, that will be your chance.

Two!
The most important thing is the last of his repeated att*cks.

The moment before the repetitive att*cks start again.

Three!
Damn!
At that moment, your enemy will be completely open.

This is the end, Renji!
I told you, you cannot defeat me!
He countered me!
How?
You look shocked that I countered your attack.

Looking for an opening between att*cks is good.

And your timing was perfect.

So Why weren't you able to beat me?
There's one answer.

You're slower than me.

You can't overcome the difference in our power.

It's as simple as that.

Understand?
You can't save Rukia.

Ichigo!
That tremendous Spiritual Pressure just now Ichigo, I hope you're all right.

Abarai's Spiritual Pressure Huh?
This Spiritual Pressure is Follow me!
I-Ichigo!
He's alive Ichigo is alive!
Damn right!
He dodged the attack.

You're really stubborn.

Damn it!
You really tried to k*ll me just now!
Of course!
I'm driving you into a corner.

I'll keep pushing you and pushing you.

So that you'll be able to use this attack anytime, anywhere.

Don't be ridiculous!
That was a fluke.

There's no way that I can keep using it whenever I want.

You have to be able to use it whenever you want.

Listen, you've just started being able to summon your true Zanpakuto and learning how to fight.

You have potential.

But right now, you're only at the level of a Third or Fourth Seat.

In order to stay evenly matched with a Lieutenant or higher, you'll have to be able to use it at will.

Easier said than done It took everything outta me then and I don't remember much about when I did that.

I know that.

That's why.

That's why Why you-!
Yes, I'll keep pushing you so that you can remember that attack!
The target has hit the rocks.

Healing Squad on our way!
Damn it!
He's pitiful!
What's the matter, boss?
Not yet.

Damn it!
At this rate, I'll seriously I'm disappointed, Kurosaki.

I'm so disappointed.

Your sword exhibits only fear When you counter, it's because you fear being k*lled.

When you attack, you fear k*lling.

And when you try to protect someone, you fear letting them die.

Yes.

The only thing your sword says to me, is that it's scared.

It's wrong.

What you need in battle is not fear.

Nothing will come Of that.

When you counter, you don't let them cut you.

If you protect someone, you don't let them die.

When you attack, you k*ll.

See?
Can't you see?
The reflection on my sword is it's sheer resolve to k*ll you.

Very good His Zanpakuto is crying.

They're calling out to each other.

They can't wait to cross swords.

See, you've got it.

.

resolve.

I-Ichigo ls he going to continue fighting?
But he's different.

He's totally different from before.

Sorry to keep you waiting, Renji.

I've got resolve.

This time, I will get you!
What's with him?
All of a sudden Is this like last time?
No, it's different.

That time, he was just exuding spiritual energy randomly This time it's calmly controlled.

And without a doubt it's much stronger.

When you counter, you don't let them cut you.

Why you--!
When you protect someone you don't let them die.

When you attack you k*ll!
Why you--!
He did it!
He got me What was that just now?
Zabimaru Damn it!
I've got resolve.

Resolve It hurts.

My body feels heavy.

My legs Won't move.

My arms won't raise.

Damn it Did I lose?
Damn it Damn it!
Rukia I I looked up into the night sky and saw a comet!
I want to see you right now, but I can't fly If I could become a comet I would fly across the sky I'm sure With this instantaneous light that will definitely reach you I would circle the skies and shine over you If I could become a comet I'm sure I'll always stay close to you Now and forever Next time, Abarai's shocking past will be revealed!
A youth's bittersweet memories and a sentimental secret story!
Don't miss it!
Kira!
Hinamori!
Stop doing misleading previews!
Oh man, that sounds like fun.

Hey you!
Don't take it seriously either!
