Brother...

I'm sure that Brotheris somewhere, doing...

Crap!

Oh no!

Is this yours?

Oh... Yeah...

It's dangerous!Be careful!

That's good!

Huh?

There!

Take a shot!

That's good!

They're still playing.

It looks like they'remiddle school students.

Excuse me!It's our time to use the field.

- Huh?- Huh?

Huh?

Who are you?

We've reserved this time slot.

Huh? Oh, you're a bunch of brats!

Sorry, but we're using this field!

What? No way...

You can use that empty areaon the side!

No way! It's our time to use it!Follow the rules!

What a bother...You don't even need a field.

We don't get much time to use the fieldbecause you brats reserve it.

What do you meanwe don't need the field?!

We've got practice, too!

That's right!

Yeah!

What?!

What's going on?!

You've got some nerve!You're just grade schoolers!

Kurosaki, this is bad...

So what if we're just grade schoolers!Follow the rules!

What?!

What of it?!

An empty lot is good enough for kids!You're not even serious about practicing!

We are serious!we're far more serious than you.

You can't even follow the rules!

I'm saying that poor players shouldn'teven bother making reservations!

Are you really better than we are?!

Y-You brat!

Now, wait...

If you're so confident,shall we play a game?

A game?

We'll play a game of soccer!

If you're not playing around,then show us your skill!

What should we do?

But that's so sudden...

It's impossible...

Fine!

- What?!- What?!

- Kurosaki, what are you saying?!- Kurosaki, what are you saying?!

It's fine! Let's accept!

Then it's decided!

We'll play here next Saturday evening!

If you lose, we're going to make youeat spaghetti through your noses!

What?! That's...

All right!

Don't you back out on us either!

Kurosaki, what are we going to do?That's quite an agreement.

We just have to win!

If we lose, we have to eat spaghettithrough our noses.

What are you saying?!We just have to win!

If we can...

Anyway, let's show some spirit!

Is showing spirit enough?!

We've got to come upwith some sort of strategy.

That's it!

How about we askyour brother to help us?!

What?!

Your brother seems likehe's good at sports!

I see! Our opponentsare middle school students.

It's all right if we get help froma high school student, right?!

Sorry... My brother can't do it.He's on a trip right now.

What?!

I see...

I'll look for someone elsewho's good at soccer!

Someone else? Who is there?

There's probably someone...

He's that guy from this morning.

Hey!

You picked up my ball, right?

Yeah.

Thank you.

You're welcome.

Say, what school do you go to?

Huh?

I don't go to any school!I'm busy! Go away!

You can play soccer, right?

Who knows?

We've got a soccer match!want to play with us?

What?!

Hold on...

What're you doing?!

Never mind that, Kurosaki.

Take a look at him...He's got silver hair...

He probably colored it!

And he looks fierce.He's probably a delinquent.

Don't bring a guy like thaton to our team!

Besides, is that little guyreally good at soccer?

What?!

Who're you calling a midget?!

We never went as faras to call you that...

Hey!

Wait!

In that case...

All right!

- Amazing!- Amazing!

Amazing!

- That's amazing!- That's so cool!

Where are you from?

What's your name?

Toshiro Hitsugaya.

Toshiro, huh? What a cool name.

Did you color your hair, Toshiro?

Your hairstyle is pretty neat, Toshiro!

Please! You're our only hope!

Uh... I told you, I'm...

It's just a regular Hollow.

It's that sensation again...

I'm the only one nearby!

Oh! Toshiro! Where're you going?!

I've got urgent business!

What?!

Sorry! I can't help you!

We'll be practicing every dayat the park on the hill.

Be sure to come tomorrow!

We really can't getmuch practice here.

In the end, Toshiro didn't come...

I thought that we'dgotten a strong ally.

I suppose we should practiceeating spaghetti through our noses.

I'm going to look for Toshiro!

Oh! Wait, Kurosaki!

You guys keep practicing!

I knew he'd be here...

Toshiro!

You again?

Why didn't you come to practice?!

I never said that I'd help you.

Besides, I don't have the time!

You're a grade schooler.What are you so busy doing?!

Shut up!

Say, why do you come here?

Do you live nearby?

Not really...

Are you listening, Toshiro?!

It's cause I can see the skythe best from here.

Come on!

I told you to stop calling me "Toshiro"!

I'll call you by your last name

when you've been admittedinto the same place that I have!

No way!

Who'd go there?!

It brings back memories...

Hmm?

Brings back memories?How old are you?

That doesn't concern you!

Don't go there!

Huh?

Oh... No... How should I put this?I sense something bad

in that direction.

Could it be that she...

Someone defeated it...

Toshiro, is something the matter?

No...

It's nothing.

Say... You'll come tomorrow, right?!

Who knows?

Captain!

Are you stalking someone?

No!

There's just somethingI'm curious about.

What?! Captain...

You're interested in a girlfrom the World of the Living?!

I told you that's not it!

Come now...You don't need to be bashful!

Ugh... That's enough!

Oh, Captain! Wait!

In the end, Toshiro never came...

Nobody could get anyoneto help us, either.

What'll we do?

Maybe we should have practicedeating spaghetti through our noses.

Maybe we should just apologize?

Shut up!

We've come this far.We've got to do this!

What's wrong with you all!Come on. Let's go!

All right!

- All right...- All right...

That's good, Kurosaki!

Keep on going!

Kurosaki!

Are you all right?!

Those bastards!

They're terrible!

What, are you finished?

Shut up!

This is nothing!

Come on. Let's go!

- O-Okay!- O-Okay!

All right!

Middle school studentssure are strong...

We'll lose at this rate.

Why're you getting timid?!

Because your leg...

I-I told you that I'm all right!

See?!

I-I'm all right.

Maybe it's no good...

Oh! Everyone, look at that!

Toshiro!

Time out!

You're late!

I never made any promises.

Who's he?

We're going makeour counterattack now!

They're getting someoneto help them now?

Everyone, we're going tomake a comeback!

- All right!- All right!

Hey, wait!

I didn't come here to play soccer...

Are you hurt?

This is nothing!

What's wrong?

Oh well...We just have to win, right?

Yeah!

Changing players!

I'm not letting you do that!

All right!

What?!

Crap!

He did it!

Amazing!

- Go!- Toshiro!

Crap!

We did it!

- Yeah!- Yeah!

Put it in!

This is your team...

You do it!

All right!

No way...

- We did it!- We did it!

- We did it! We did it!- We did it! We did it!

We did it!

We won!

It's all thanks to you, Toshiro!

You made the winning goal...

Anyway, I have toask you something.

Wh-What is it?

Earlier, you...

It's appeared again!

This is a Huge Hollow...No, is it a Menos?

Everyone!

Wait! Don't go.

Huh?

Toshiro, you can see that thing?

I'll explain later. Anyway, run away.

I can't!

I can't just stand bywhile this happens to my friends!

H-Hey!

It doesn't affect him?!

The same black kimonothat Brother has...

A Soul Reaper...

Frost unto the Heavens...

Hyorinmaru!

Too bad for you.I'm in the World of the Living.

You can't do anything.

A Cero.

Too slow!

Amazing...

Are you all right?

Yeah...

Oh! How is everyone?!

They're all right.

- Thank goodness.- Are you all right?

Yeah, I'm okay.

- What happened?- What's going on?

That freaked me out.

Toshiro, that uniform...

It seems that you havestrong spiritual power...

But I never expected thatyou could see me in this form.

Say, do you knowwhere my brother is?

Judging from the way you're dressed,you're a Soul Reaper, right?

How do you knowabout Soul Reapers?

My brother is also a Soul Reaper...

His name is Ichigo Kurosaki!

Kurosaki?!

I see. You're Ichigo Kurosaki'syounger sister... That makes sense.

Sorry, but I don't know where he is.

I see...

But...

Kurosaki is trying to become stronger.

Just like you.

No matter what,he doesn't give up until the end.

That's the sort of person he is.

Don't worry. He's your brother right?

You're right.

Captain! I'm glad you're safe.

Is she a Soul Reaper, too?

Yeah. She's my subordinate.

Oh? You have subordinates?

Yeah.

You're late, Matsumoto!

I'm sorry.

Huh? Captain, this girl...

She's Ichigo Kurosaki's sister.

Ichigo's?!

Pleased to meet you...

I'm Rangiku Matsumoto.I'm Captain Hitsugaya's Lieutenant.

Wow. You really are a Captain!

You sure are cool, Toshiro...

Even though you'rea grade schooler.

A grade schooler?

What?

It's too much for me!

How many times must youmake the same mistake?!

I'm not a grade schooler!

Captain, good work helping outthose grade schoolers!

Shut up!

There's no need to get so mad.

Oh. Come to think of it, we're helping outhigh school students next!

What do you mean "next"?

All right, let's give it our best!

Listen to me!
