Ever since the powers of the Soul Reaper were thrust upon me,
my whole world has changed.
I'm Substitute Soul Reaper, Ichigo Kurosaki.
I wield this sword with all of my soul and strength
to protect my precious friends!
You are my one and only.
No one can take your place.
Never fade, my only flower.
The sun never blinds you.
You are like a flower that blooms in shade.
Exhale those feelings you hold inside.
You are my one and only; now and forever.
The day may come when all will rise against us,
but I will protect you.
Never give up, my only flower.
TIME NOTICE THAT YOU SHOULD NOTICE THAT
NOTICE THAT THERE'S NO OTHER
Central .
It consists of forty sages and six judges gathered
from across the Soul Society.
It is the Soul Society's highest judicial system.
Any crime committed by a Soul Reaper is judged here
regardless of whether it happened
in the Soul Society or in the World of the Living.
If they decide that military force is necessary to carry out a verdict,
they give out orders to various forces such as the Stealth Force, the Kido expert,
and the Thirteen Court Guard Squads.
And once a verdict is declared, no one, not even a captain,
can appeal the decision.
That is what Central is.
Wh-What is this? What's going on?!
The blood is dry
It's blackened and even beginning to crack
Which means that they weren't k*lled today or yesterday
When were they k*lled?!
After Abarai was defeated and martial law was declared,
this central underground assembly hall was locked down
and no one was allowed to enter.
And its defense system was engaged until we forced our way in just now.
There was no sign of a forced entry.
Which means that they were k*lled before then!
And all the decisions given to us from Central
since then have been
all fake
Who did it? Ichimaru?
Something this big by himself?
Or are there others who helped him?
I thought you'd come, Captain Hitsugaya.
Kira--!
Are you the one who did this?!
After him, Matsumoto!
Yes!
Wait! Kira! Answer my question!
Are you the one who did that to Central ?!
No. I was just let in to the underground assembly hall
before you arrived.
They opened the lock from the inside.
Who let you in?!
Why, Central , of course.
Are you making fun of me?! What about the seal?!
Never mind all that, Captain Hitsugaya.
Instead of chasing me
shouldn't you be concerned about protecting Hinamori?
What are you talking about? Hinamori is
She's not in Squad barracks anymore.
Captain Hitsugaya, you put up a barrier
around the room that Hinamori was sleeping in, didn't you?
You used Kyomon,
a high-level barrier that reflects all att*cks from the outside.
That's why you left her there thinking she'd be safe.
But that barrier can be easily broken from the inside.
Hinamori is a master of Kido.
It's easy for her to break your barrier from the inside
or move while completely hiding her Spiritual Pressure
You didn't notice?
Hinamori was following you the entire time.
Matsumoto!
Can I leave him to you?
Go ahead!
What? You're not running away anymore?
You didn't know, did you, Matsumoto?
About what?
About my Zanpakuto's ability
You don't tell anyone about things like that.
That's not true.
I think my classmates, Hinamori and Abarai, know
But that's okay.
I'll tell you, too
Raise your head, Wabisuke!
You
You have good reflexes.
Who do you think you are?!
There's something wrong with you!
Kira!
I don't know what Gin told you, but
How many times have you blocked my sword?
It doubles the weight of whatever it strikes.
If I strike twice, the weight doubles.
If I strike three times, the weight doubles again.
Until finally
the defender can no longer bear the weight
and grovel on the ground, head bowed down as if in penitence.
Thus the name, Wabisuke, “the penitence one.â€
If you weren't counting, I'll tell you.
If a sword is . kilograms,
that multiplied by two to the seventh power
would make your sword . kilograms.
That's not something you can run with.
So what?
If I can't run with it, then I just don't carry it.
Gin What do you want to do with him?
Roar, Haineko.
And what do you want with me ?
Just where do you want to go ?
What is this?
Everyone in Central is dead.
Everyone
Hitsugaya was surprised
there was Kira Hitsugaya followed him
What's going on?
If Hitsugaya is the one who k*lled Captain Aizen,
then he must be the one who did this as well, but
So that means the one who did this is Kira?
Then
What about Hitsugaya ? Is Captain Aizen ?
Welcome, Hinamori.
Captain Ichimaru?
Come this way.
Hinamori!
This is Seijoto Kyorin, Immaculate Tower Grove.
The living quarters of Central
Why would you bring me here?
Captain Ichimaru
How many times have you been here, Hinamori?
No way This area is completely off limits.
This is the first time I've seen it.
There someone I want you to meet
Want me to meet?
That's right.
But
Take a look.
Behind you.
Behind me?
Captain Aizen
It's been a while, Hinamori.
Is it really you, Captain Aizen?
I thought you were dead
I'm alive, as you can see.
C-Captain Aizen Captain Aizen
I
Captain Aizen
I'm sorry. You must've been worried.
Oh It Captain Aizen's hand
It's so warm and big
Talk as much as you like until you calm down.
I don't mind. Stay as long as you like.
The same scent of Captain Aizen that cleanses my soul
It really is Captain Aizen
I thought there was no hope
I thought I couldn't go on but I was wrong
That was a lie. A lie.
Yes, I knew
Captain Aizen wouldn't die.
I knew he wouldn't die and leave me behind
You've become a bit thin
I'm really sorry. I'm sorry for hurting you so much
But you understand, right?
It had to be you.
There was something I had to do.
I had to fake my own death and
It's all right It's all right now.
I can't wish for anything more as long as you're alive
Thank you, Hinamori.
I'm really glad I had you as a subordinate.
Thank you, Hinamori Thank you very much
Goodbye.
What is this?
What ?
Let's go, Gin.
Yes, Captain Aizen.
Hello, Hitsugaya.
Ai zen?!
But how Is it really you?
Of course. As you can see, I'm the real one.
But
Captain Hitsugaya returned a lot faster than expected.
Sorry. Izuru must've failed to keep him.
What What are you talking about?
What are we talking about? Just strategy.
Dividing an enemy fighting power is the basics in strategy.
Enemy!?
Where is Hinamori?!
I wonder
Hina mori?
How unfortunate. You found her.
I'm sorry. I didn't mean to surprise you.
Maybe I should've chopped her into little pieces
so you couldn't find her.
Aizen Ichimaru
When did you team up?
Since before you faked your death?
From the beginning, of course.
Since I became a captain.
I never considered anyone other than Gin as my lieutenant.
Then all this time
Hinamori
Me
Your subordinates, all the other Soul Reapers
Everyone
You've been deceiving us all?!
I never thought of it that way.
It just none of you understood
my true identity.
Didn't understand?
Hinamori She looked up to you
She joined the Thirteen Court Guard Squads
so she could be closer to you.
She worked so hard to become your lieutenant, to serve you
And she finally made it!
I know.
That why she was so easy to manipulate.
That's why I requested her to be my subordinate.
Wha--?
This is a good opportunity. Remember this, Hitsugaya.
Admiration is the state furthest from understanding.
Bankai.
Daiguren Hyorinmaru!
Oh!
Aizen
I'm going to k*ll you.
Don't use such strong words.
It'll make you look weak.
What?!
This can't be happening
What a beautiful sight.
Ice is not in season,
but it's not so bad to see it at this time of the year.
Captain Aizen.
No, we probably shouldn't call you captain any longer
You're just Sosuke Aizen, the traitor.
Hello, Captain Unohana.
I thought you'd have shown up by now.
Did you immediately figure out that I would be here?
Seijoto Kyorin is the only place within the Seireitei
that is absolutely off limits.
This is the only place to hide in the Seireitei
for someone who gone so far as to fake his own death
with such an elaborate corpse doll.
Close.
Your insight is good, but you made two mistakes.
First of all, I didn't come here to hide.
And second
This is not a corpse doll.
Wh-When did he
When?
I've been holding it all this time.
But
I just wasn't letting you see it until now.
Wh-What do you
You'll understand soon enough.
I'll release it now.
Shatter, Kyokasuigetsu.
This is my Zanpakuto, Kyokasuigetsu.
Its ability is perfect hypnosis.
Perfect hypnosis?
But Kyokasuigetsu is supposed to be a running-water-type Zanpakuto
That it uses diffused reflection of running water and mist
to confuse enemies into attacking each other!
Captain Aizen, that what you told us!
You gathered all the lieutenants and showed it to us!
I see
So that was actually the hypnosis ritual.
Correct.
Perfect hypnosis controls all five senses
and can cause every dimension of a target,
including its form, shape, mass, feel, and smell,
to replicate that of an enemy.
In other words, it can make a fly appear to be a dragon
or a marsh a flowerbed.
And all I need to do to activate it
is to show my enemies the release of Kyokasuigetsu.
Whoever lays eyes on it, even once,
will be hypnotized into doing my bidding
whenever I release my Kyokasuigetsu.
Whoever lays eyes on it even once
It seems you figured it out.
Yes. Whoever lays their eyes on it falls under my spell.
Which means that those who can't see will not be affected.
In other words
Kaname Tosen was my subordinate from the beginning.
C-Captain Tosen?! Why are you here?
Wh-What is this?!
Before I go,
I'd like to commend you for sensing something suspicious
about my dead body, Captain Unohana.
You had the chance to examine my body the longest,
but you were still under perfect hypnosis.
Goodbye. I doubt I will ever see any of you again.
Wait!
What the hell was that all about ?
This is the Sokyoku hill?
Welcome
Abarai.
Captain Aizen?
It can't be
Ichimaru
What going on?
Leave Rukia Kuchiki here and back away.
All the days gone by have made me what I am
Life not easy; that why I can go on.
To the people hurrying by,
“Have your dreams come true?â€
I'm still struggling
Forget returning to my youth; I want to live today well.
I was born timid.
Out where the sun shines I fisted my hand tight.
Break out of that place, that time, and I can change my life
But I could never express everything deep in my heart
Life not easy; that why I can go on.
In the next episode,
I plan to divulge my true intentions with a dinner show.
There're still some tickets available,
but it's first come first served.
I'm making a special guest appearance.
Look forward to it.
There's no such show!
And you're no star!
