08x15 - Desperate Effort vs. Desperate Effort! Hollowfied Ichigo

[bunniefuu]

Ichigo receives serious injuriesin his fight with Ulquiorra.

Then Grimmjow appears,bringing Orihime with him.

Kurosaki

Heal him.

Orihime finishes healing Ichigo and,on equal terms,

the battle between Ichigoand Grimmjow begins.

Bring it on!Let's have a fair fight to the death!

That's not good enough.

That's not the side of youI really want to fight!

Take this!

This is the most powerful Cero,

which only Espada are allowed to use!

Inoue

Wait, Grimmjow!

Gran Rey Cero!

Sorry

Are you scared?

It's hard to tell you not to worrywhen I look like this.

But I'll tell you anyway.

Don't worry.

I'll end this soon.

That's good.

I've been waiting for this moment!

Grind

Pantera!

Inoue

From here on, place a Santenkesshunin front of you and Nel.

And make sure never to undo it.

Do it now!

S-Santenkesshun!

I reject!

What's this?

Sound pressure?!

All this power, just from yelling.

Damn it!

What's wrong?

This isn't your best.

Come out!

Getsugatensho!

That's good, Ichigo Kurosaki!

It's those eyes!

It's those eyes of yours that I hate!

Look

The space is still warped.

Gran Rey Cero

That's not something to beused within Las Noches.

What, are you scared, Mila Rose?!

Who's scared?!

I can hear your teeth chatteringfrom here, Apache!

What did you say?!

Well, what of it?!

Stop it, both of you!

When you raise your voice,you look weak.

“ What the hell did you just say, Sun-Sun?!“ What the hell did you just say, Sun-Sun?!

“ Why you stupid“ Why you stupid

My, how vulgar.

What?!

Turn this way!

Why you

Grimmjow is getting carried away.

Don't be bothered by that.

This is a battle with an Espadain his Resurrección form.

It's no surprise thatyou would be scared.

It's a very basic fear.

Embrace it.

Yes.

But

Is the person he's fightingreally human?

Judging by the quantity, density,

anddarkness of his Spiritual Pressure,

he can't be human.

It's as if

I'm watching a battlebetween two Espada.

I've got you, Ichigo Kurosaki!

It seems you've increasedthe amount of time

that you can maintainthat masked state!

Have you trainedsince our last battle?

Or have you unconsciously gotten betterduring your previous battles?

Either is fine. I'm glad.

It would be boring ifyour mask immediately cracked,

just like in our last battle!

It would be boring if my mask broke?

Don't make me laugh!

That's my line, Grimmjow!

You're boring.

So don't undo your sword release!

Is that the best you can do,Ichigo Kurosaki?!

I-Ichigo

Kurosaki

Is that really Kurosaki?

Take this!

Inoue!

I-Ichigo!

Kurosaki

I'm all right.

This is nothing.

Did you go to save them?

That's quite the effort.

What's wrong?You're breathing heavily.

If you have time for idle talk,

you should worry about yourself!

Don't act tough.

You already took five hits of that.

It would be strangeif you were still all right.

Your mask is at its limit too.

My limit?

Who's at their limit?

How persistent.

That's how I want it.

You look like you'regetting pretty worn out too.

Sorry.

But you're just imagining it!

I mustn't be afraid.

I mustn't

be afraid.

When I remember those eyes,

I feel as if Kurosaki hasbecome someone else.

I feel as if Kurosakican't see me.

Just like my brother.

Kurosaki

M-Masked Ichigo is beingcompletely overpowered.

In his fight with Lord Dordoni

And his fight with Lord Ulquiorra

When Ichigo put on his mask,he always won overwhelmingly.

When Ichigo was masked,he was invincible.

But

That Ichigo

is getting so beat up.

G-Give it your all, Ichigo!

Give it your all, Ichigo!

Come on! What are you doing?!

You cheer him on too!

Huh?

Don't Huh? Nel!

Ichigo is fighting for you!

So why are you afraid of him?!

You said that Ichigowas a kind person, right?!

That's right! Nel thinks so too!

Ichigo is kind!

When he heard your name,he lunged at Lord Ulquiorra!

Ichigo is human!

But he's become a Soul Reaper.

He's put on a mask andis using such insane power!

There's no way thathe can't be suffering!

He has to be suffering!

But Ichigo is doing this for you!

He's fighting by using that powerand becoming bloodied!

Wh-Why aren't you cheering him on?!

That's right

At first I came here becauseI wanted to protect everyone.

I thought I was ready.

But

I heard that Kurosaki andthe others came to save me,

and I was happysomewhere in my heart.

When I saw Kurosakiwearing a mask,

I saw that his eyes looked like my brother's

and I became afraid.

I thought that he may nothave come to save me.

That's not true.

That's actually

None of that really matters.

I

I'm not afraid of Kurosaki.

What I do fear,is that Kurosaki

It looks like youreally are at your limit.

It's over, Kurosaki.

Don't die

Don't die, Kurosaki!

You don't have to win.

You don't have to try.

Just don't get hurt anymore.

Kurosaki!

Sorry, Grimmjow.

It seems that I

I can't lose to you any longer.

I don't like it.

The way he takes me for a fool.

Damn He makes me sick.

I'll destroy you all!

Illustrated Guide to Soul Reapers!

In the end, we only used upwhat little funds we had left.

It'll be all right!

I took pictures of everyone!

What? Really?

Look!

Old man, Hon-Hon, Izurun,

Recchan, Byakki, Bow-Wow,

Shun-Shun, Kenny, and Mayurin!

It's a big success!

BIG SUCCESS

How is this a success?

FINISHED

Huh?! We're finished?!
