07x03 - The Beautiful Patissier, Yumichika!

[bunniefuu]

Immediately go to the World of the Livingand check for the spirit waves

of the Arrancarsas well as the Espada.

Also, simplify the proceduresto execute a Gentei Kaijo!

So, in order to meetthe Head Captain's demands...

Have one of the staff go tothe World of the Living, Akon.

What will you be doing?

I'm very interested ininvestigating the Arrancars,

but there's no guarantee thatI'll come across an Espada

in the World of the Living.

Well, I'll set out in the winterduring the showdown.

These are the research documents.

The captain probably just doesn'twant to be bothered with this.

Hey! Who wants to go tothe World of the Living?

I don't want to.

I have a chronic illness.

- Yes...- Huh?!

Umm...

Can I go?

Tsubokura, huh?

How unusual... You normallyjust eat sweets and slack off.

I guess it's okay.

Huh?! Really?!

Yeah... Someone from Squad willprotect and guide you on this mission.

Understood!

Oh, Tsubokura, one more thing...

Huh?

Give this to Third Seat Madarame.It's the molars he wanted.

Oh! Okay!

So this is the Senkaimon thatleads to the World of the Living...

All right! The day has finally come!

The World of the Living probablyhas a lot of sweets that we don't have.

All right. I'm going to stuff myself!

First...

Western sweets! I believethey were called "cakes."

I wonder how sweet they areand what they taste like!

Umm...

Hello...

Are you all right?!

Umm... Are you all right?

Owowowow...

Sorry...

I was ordered to go with youto the World of the Living.

I'm Hanataro Yamada of Squad .

I'm Rin Tsubokura of the Departmentof Research and Development.

Hello?!

URAHARA'S SHOPwhat is this store?

URAHARA'S SHOPThis is Urahara's Shop!

I come here often when I'm here.

Excuse me!

Huh? Isn't anyone here?

Excuse me!

Wow! Amazing!There are so many sweets!

Oh! This looks delicious!

Don't eat that without paying!

Tsubokura?

What are you doing here?

Oh! Tessai! It's been a while!

Actually, for my current mission,

I've come here to researchbattle sites with Tsubokura.

As well as simplifying Gentei Kaijo,even just a little,

in preparation for battle againstthe Arrancars and the Espada.

Yes! I've heard about thatfrom Captain Hitsugaya!

Indeed, we had a rough timein the last battle

because the Gentei Kaijowas taking too long.

I shall show you the placewhere the Arrancars appeared!

Thank you very much!

Ayasegawa, show them the way!

I'm still not convinced...

Why me?

Captain Hitsugaya said that youlooked like you had the most free time,

so he was going tomake you go with them.

F-Free time?

We're counting on you!

Why does this alwayshappen to me?

Say, are you finished yet?

I really am busy.

Could you hurry it up?

How is it?

Yes! I've picked up a pattern!

Please take us tothe next place, Ayasegawa!

It's such a bother tohave to walk to get around!

Sorry...I'm not very good at Flash Step.

I see...

Huh?

What is it?

Tsubokura's gone...

He's gotten lost now?

Here! Thank you very much!

What are you doing?!We're on a mission!

Well... They were sellingsuch delicious-looking cakes,

so I ended up buying one.

Ended up?

Huh? But how could you buy onewhen you're not in a gigai?

Oh, as for that...

I used this!

This is a machine that can makea soul look as if it's a physical body.

If you have it, you canbuy a cake without a gigai!

I don't care.Can you finish up?

A ghost!

This is...

A bound spirit...

Umm...

Can you see me?

Yes... We're Soul Reapers.

That's great!

No it's not!

You seem attached to this store,but it's dangerous for you to stay here!

Wha-?!

H-Hey, what are you going to do?!

Hollows will come aftera soul like you if you stay here.

Or you'll become a Hollowand attack your relatives.

Huh?

In order to prevent that,we're going to send you to Soul Society.

No way! Wait a second!

There'll be trouble if you do that!Listen to my story!

It's all right! You'll feel better soon!

Please!

Get ready!

Umm... Won't you listen to his story?

That's right! Let's listen to it!

What an amazingly long chain.

Bound spirits usuallycannot move from their spots.

And?

Yes...

My name is Heita Momoyama...

I'm a cake baker whoused to work at that shop.

But I was hit by a carin front of the shop.

I worked hard every daytraining to make cakes...

But you can't make cakes anymore.

You don't have to say that!

Tsubokura, you're unusuallyresponsive to talk of cake...

So what's troubling you?

Well...it's my mother...

My mother comes topray for me here

every morning whenthe streets are still deserted.

But lately, she's been getting thinner...

Unable to bear it,

my older sister and her husbandsuggested that she live with them.

Oh... Well, that's a good thing.

But...

Despite the fact that I was training,

I never had my mothereat any of my cakes.

Huh?

So!

I want you to make a cake!I'll teach you how.

Huh?

I want my mother to eatone of my cakes!

It's a bit odd, but if you make itto my specifications, it's still my cake!

Please!

Jeez. I never expected you to say that...

Let's do it!

Huh?!

You just want to eat cake, don't you?

Anyway, let's do it!

We're talking about cakes!

I knew it...

Thank you very much!

- Wow!- Wow!

A first appearance!Urahara's Shop's kitchen!

What a nice kitchen...

Thank you!

I consulted with Tessaiand remodeled it just recently.

Try not to damage anything.

Okay...

I have all of your ingredients.Feel free to use them!

But it's kind of odd for Ayasegawato be interested in this as well...

I'm not interested in it!

Let's make a cake!

Yes! I'm counting on you!

This is odd...

But these clothes aren't so bad.

Beat the fresh cream harder.

Yes!

Huh?

Umm...

For some reason my eggbecame mushy...

How did you do that?!

I told you that it needs to beat body temperature!

That's too hot!

It'll become a hot spring egg!

S-Sorry.

Remake it!

Yes!

Don't taste it too much.

Make it smaller.

Like this?

That's too small!

Then you should do it!

I'm asking you to do itbecause I can't!

We finished!

Now we can give it to your mother.

Not yet.

Huh? Why?

Because we have to taste it.

Oh, that's true.

If it tastes good,we'll make another one to give to her.

But I can't eat it...

This is the first time we've eaten cake.

What?!

We don't have them in Soul Society.

Isn't there anyonewho has had cake before?

Umm...

Roar!

Zabimaru!

You're still too slow!

Well, you are getting a little better.

Once more, please.

Here I go...

So that's the case.

So you want us to see how it tastes?

Well, I've had cake before, but...

I know everything there is to knowabout the World of the Living.

I'll give it a taste.

Here you go.

We need to remake it.

I probably won't be able toeat a delicious cake...

Don't say that. Let's give it our best.

Momoyama.

It seems that his motheris moving tomorrow.

That means that tomorrow is the last daythat she'll come to leave flowers.

Yes. That's just right.

This is good, too.Things are looking good.

That's good. Yes. It's very good.

Tomorrow is the last day...

Huh?

Let's make a beautiful,delicious cake for your mother.

Ayasegawa...

Thank you very much!

Then let's give it our best!

All right!

We did it!

If it tastes good, we'll be set.

It's incredibly soft!

I feel kind of happy!

Yes. It's a beautiful taste.

R-Really?!

It's time for your mother to come.

Let's hurry.

Yes!

Excuse me...

Who are you?

We're friends of Momoyama.

We heard that youwould be moving today.

I see. Thank you for lookingafter Heita when he was alive.

This is Momoyama's cake.

Huh?

Actually, we made it...

But it was made according tothe recipe that Momoyama taught us.

So this is Momoyama's flavor.

This is Heita's?

It's a bit late, but this is my cake, mom.

Sorry... I can't accept this.

Huh?

Wh-Why?

I can't stand cakes anymore.

Whenever I see a cake,I always remember him...

It's so painful.

No way...

So...I'm sorry.

Wait, mom!

Give this to me!

Mom!

No way...

My cake...

I wanted mom to eat it.

Wait, mom.

Don't go, mom!

It can't be!

Momoyama!

Calm down...

This is bad. The Spiritual Pressureis attracting them...

It's coming!

A-A Menos Grande!

What?!

Getting worried over a Menos?

How unsightly!

Oh no!

Yumichika!

How careless of me...

Take this.

Leave it to me,thank you very much.

Are you all right?

Shut the hell up!

Worry about yourself before worryingabout others, thank you very much!

O-Okay.

Calm down and try tomaintain consciousness.

What's going on?

Mom...

Don't go, mom!

How could you?!

Momoyama!Get a hold of yourself!

Crap! It's only a Menos...

- What should we do?- Why won't you

- He's really going to become a Hollow.- eat my cake, mom?!

Don't, Heita!

That's it!

In this case...

I have no choice.

Hey, what are you doing?

Here I go!

Fill up!

Hisagomaru!

Now, Ayasegawa!

Bloom, Fujikujaku!

Hanataro, what was that just now?

It was my zanpakuto, Hisagomaru.

This?

Yes.

Hisagomaru gets to Shikaiby absorbing people's wounds.

Then it shows its true power.

Then you healedMomoyama's wounds?

Yes.

A chest hole is a wound of the heart.

It wasn't fully open yet, so I thoughtthat I might be able to do something.

Hmm? That's not bad.

Mom!

Mom! Are you all right?

Mom!

Mom!

Heita!

I'm glad, mom...

Why are you...?

Mom? You can see me?

When did he...?!

Mom, I finally completed my cake.

Then it was true?

Yes. It got a bit smashed,but I can guarantee that it tastes good.

Yes. It's delicious...

Really?

Yes. Very...

So this is your cake.

Sorry, Heita...

I won't ever say that it hurtswhen I see a cake anymore.

Yeah...

The machine you made that makessouls take physical form...

So it doesn't just work on you?

Yes. It can work on any soul.

Doesn't that mean that we wouldn'thave had to go through all that trouble

if we had used it on himfrom the beginning?

I see. Yumichika, you're really smart!

He's no good...

Illustrated Guide to Soul Reapers!

Golden!

I'm back.

Hey... Good work.

How's the data?

It's okay.

Come to think of it, did you giveThird Seat Madarame his molars?

Oh... I stomped on themwhen I was fighting the Menos.

So I did as you told me to do.

I put them in a bagwith a note that says that

"they're molarsthat only idiots can't see."

Hey... You really did that?!
