03x22 - Rukia's Resolution, Ichigo's Feelings

[bunniefuu]

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

One week after Aizen rebellion

Hey! You expect us to eat this crappy food?!

E-Everyone eats the same thing here

I'm telling you, there something wrong with that.

What's with all the noise?

We were injured honorably in the battle.

It's Squad .

It wouldn't hurt to give us a better meal

Again?

don't you think?

Oh

Really, you Squad are...

Is there a problem with my Squad?

C-Captain Unohana?!

D-Didn't know you were here!

I'm glad that you're feeling better.

But

this is the General Relief Station.

As long as you're here your lives are in our hands.

Don't forget that.

W-We're sorry!

W-We're sorry!

Save us!

H-Hey, what's going on?

Huh?

Acting as if I'm some kind of ghost

All right, next!

Come on! What's wrong with you guys?!

Nobody?! What a bunch of wimps!

Well, in that case

I will take you on.

Oh? You've got some guts, Ichigo.

But can you handle it?

You're still recovering, right? I'm not gonna hold back, you know!

So are you!

And you make it sound like I was sick.

I was just injured!

So? The word applies for injuries too!

No, it doesn't!

Then what would you call it? Huh?

Well, that would be

I don't know

See? You don't know! Go learn Japanese, idiot!

What about you?

All you do is shave your empty head!

Huh?!

All right! Let fight then! Whoever wins is right!

All right, come on!

I'll show you that Japanese is my favorite subject!

Hey!

Huh?

Huh?

Good Morning, Captain!

Good Morning, Captain!

Huh?

Oh, it's Ichigo.

Itchy, 'morning!

Are your wounds all right?

Y-Yeah!

Thankfully, I'm completely

fine.

I see That's great.

That means now I can fight you without holding back!

Face down

Huh? That the wrong guy!

Running away!

Kenny

This way, this way!

Hey, wait!

You're not getting away! Hold it!

My, my Rowdy as ever.

It's better than too quiet.

Why are you here so often?

What happened to Captain Komamura?

Well the thing is

My Captain wants to be alone for a while

Friend of Tosen, whose name I do not know

What would you have said to stop Tosen?

Oh

Captain Komamura

Do you think Captain Tosen will ever come back here again?

Of course.

Let find a way to open Tosen eyes.

I wouldn't have minded being your prisoner a little longer.

I'm sorry.

That's the thing I hate the most about you

So stupid.

Who is?

Whoa!

Y-You scared me!

I almost spilled over

Spill over what?

My boobs. Like this

You don't have to show me.

You have a guest.

Huh?

Kira.

Umm Matsumoto

Want some Soba buns?

I also have sake!

Huh?

No I'm already at my limit

What are you talking about? Come on, come on!

Matsumoto

Yes?

You know that time um

Hmm? It's okay Don't bother.

But

Yeah, you really came at me for real.

But I didn't even get a scratch!

Shock!

So

It's really all right.

Now that you came to see me like this.

Talking doesn't guarantee

that you'd understand everything about the person.

But you won't be able to understand anything

if you can't even see them anymore, you know.

Yeah

I suppose you're right.

Could you

Could you talk to her?

She's waiting for someone who needs her

to talk to her.

The way I am now

I don't know what to say to her

The way you are now ?

Excuse me.

All right! Finished!

We can't go back to the World of the Living

in Shihakusho, you know!

What do you think? Pretty nice, huh?

Isn't the design different?

It was more like

Yeah? Well, this is for you, Inoue.

Dye didn't come out too well,

so I tried to dress it up with lace,

and attached these small flowers with the same fabric at the bottom.

I-It's cute

Really?! I also made this!

This is for Kuchiki to wear when going back to the World of the Living.

It's a one-piece much like the one she used to wear.

This is also cute!

I think you're better at making women's clothes, Ishida.

Huh?

Oh Ooh ! I'm going to show this to Kuchiki!

Oh

What do you say, Sado? Could you try it on now?

Hmm?!

This sure is cute.

Kuchiki is going to like this.

She's been depressed lately.

But if she sees this, I'm sure she'll cheer up.

But I wonder why Ishida could make Kuchiki's clothes so well

I-I get it! Maybe Ishida likes Kuchiki!

I'm amazing! I noticed!

I, Orihime Inoue,

Female intuition!

age fifteen and starting to develop a sharp female intuition!

Big mistake!

Ah, it over here.

Kuchiki!

Huh?

Man, my legs hurt.

That Kenpachi Chasing me around like that

Jeez you've gotta be kidding.

Kurosaki!

Wh-What?!

Oh, it you, Inoue

What's with those clothes?

There something wrong

Kuchiki is

Huh?

Renji.

Why are you here?

Because I'm your lieutenant.

“Why are you still alive ?â€

That's what you're probably thinking, huh?

No way.

If you die, how could I aim to be stronger than you?

Captain I

Renji!

Shut up!

Huh?

What the hell do you want?

I was just about to say something heartfelt, damn it!

O-Oh sorry

Hey! Do you know where Rukia went?

What? What about Rukia?

N-No, never mind if you don't know.

Did you find out anything, Kurosaki?

Did you find Kuchiki?

How did you climb ?

Oh whatever.

Sorry! Renji, Byakuya! We're leaving!

Sorry to bother you Mr. Renji and Mr. Byakuya.

What's with them?

What's wrong, Captain?

Nothing

It just I wonder if he plans on calling me without titles.

Where're you going, Kurosaki?

Do you know where Kuchiki is?

I think so. If she's not with Renji

then she's got to be there!

I can't take it any more, Sis !

Of course you can! Give me a thousand more!

A-A thousand?!

P-Please Sis, my honorable wounds haven't healed yet.

Didn't I work hard this time?

Stop bluffing nonsense!

I heard you were practically useless half the time!

Wh-Who told you such a total truth!

I'll make you regret you came back alive!

Die! Die immediately! Die now!

What do you want?

Oh...!

H-Hold it, Sis! This is Rukia!

She the one that Ichigo went to great lengths to save

I know.

Huh?

Rukia Kuchiki.

She's the Soul Reaper who k*lled our older brother.

That's why I'm asking. What do you want?

That's why I'm asking. What do you want?

I'm sorry!

I know I should have come sooner to apologize.

But I'm such a coward who always running away

I couldn't bring myself to face you until now.

I'm sorry I'm really

Stop.

That enough! Don't apologize forever!

B-But

I said that enough.

Wha--?! Huh uh er ?

I've heard everything from Ukitake.

He told me that it wasn't your fault,

and that you're living with the biggest guilt.

So I've decided long time ago that if you said just one word of apology,

then I'd forgive you.

So

It's okay.

That's right. She

She knew Sir Kaien.

She knows what he would've wanted

I was only thinking of myself

I'm not even the one most pained by this

Thank you

I'm really sorry

I told you not to apologize.

Right umm Sorr I mean, thank you very much.

Ah! So you were here!

Ichigo Inoue

It seems like you're finished here.

Let's go back.

They said they'll open the gate to the World of the Living tomorrow.

You're still not fully recovered.

Go to bed early tonight to be ready for tomorrow.

Oh, that's right

I think you should be the first one to know this

I'm going to

stay here in the Soul Society.

I see.

That's good.

Huh?

I mean, if that's what you've decided

that you want to stay

then that what you should do.

I remembered why I was trying so hard to save you.

Hey, Ichigo! You finally showed up!

What were you doing?!

Oh no um

Kukaku, it's been a while!

You're going home tomorrow, huh? That's quick.

Have dinner with us! It'll please everyone!

No um but we

What? Are you going to make me repeat myself, too?

No um

Thank you very much for the invite!

Survival of the fittest

That's mine!

No, that's mine!

Too bad, I ate it!

Kukaku Shiba

Hey! Rukia!

Damn it! I really can't find her.

Where did she go?

Inoue, where are you?

Ichigo! Where the hell are you?!

Every one sure is full of free time

Wh-What is this?!

I can't drink anymore

S-Save me

Whoa! I thought I was going to die

What's wrong, Matsumoto?!

Did you know, Captain? I can't breathe if I lie face down!

No.

But if I lie on my back,

they get pulled to the sides and it hurts

Shut up!

This is the official Senkaimon.

Of course, I incorporated a Reishihenkanki for you.

Ichigo.

Yes?

This is for you.

What is this?

A Substitute Soul Reaper Combat Pass.

It our old custom to give this to a Substitute Soul Reaper

who is deemed useful to the Soul Society.

If you use this,

you can become a Soul Reaper whenever you want.

Of course, this won't make up for what you have done for us, but

That's all right.

I did it because I wanted to.

But, I'll gladly accept this.

This man is truly

Kuchiki, here! Ishida made it!

Wow, impressive.

But I'm no longer

You've got to wear it!

O-Oh okay

It's time!

See you, Rukia.

Yeah.

Thank you, Ichigo.

That's my line.

Thanks, Rukia.

Because of you, the rain has finally stopped.

Itchy's Spiritual Pressure disappeared

I see.

Why didn't you see them off?

Huh?

You may never see them again.

That'll never happen.

Huh?

You heard what Old Man said.

The fight isn't over!

We'll meet again.

Because we're a lot alike, he and I.

Kenny learned how to wait!

Don't say it like I'm a dog.

Official my butt! It's exactly the same as before!

Yoruichi, what the hell?!

Only Soul Reapers can use the Hell Butterfly!

Stop complaining, and run!

Look! We're almost at the exit!

Don't stop! Just run through it!

Locked on target!

Fire!

All right! Here it comes!

Jinta Home run?!

Tessai Death Catch!

Welcome back, everyone!

Urahara

Welcome back, Kurosaki.

You've heard about me, right?

Yeah.

I'm really sorry

Please stop.

It's fine.

I'm not mad.

You didn't really do anything bad.

Your motivation aside,

you did save us and made us stronger.

I'm thankful.

So

Please don't apologize.

Okay

But can I ask you just one thing?

You didn't tell me the truth

because you thought I'd be scared and run away?

Ah, exactly right!

Now that pisses me off!

I-I didn't expect the elbow

Also

Please apologize to Rukia.

Though she'll probably say the same thing.

Okay

Now then!

Mr. Urahara, can you drop me off around here?

Yes, yes! Got it!

See you later, Ishida!

If something comes up again, I'll be counting on you!

What are you talking about?

Did you forget, Kurosaki?

You're a Soul Reaper and I'm a Quincy.

The next time we meet, we'll be enemies.

You

See you later!

He sure is stubborn.

That for sure!

But that's the good part about Ishida.

You think so?

You're right.

Really?

You guys are so understanding.

Well then, I'll get off here!

Shall I drop you off at your house, Kurosaki?

Yeah, please

Sorry Urahara, actually here will be fine

Huh? But

See you later!

Wai--!

Kurosaki?

What's wrong, Yoruichi?

Hm? It just

It's been quite a long journey.

It sure has.

Say, Kisuke

Yes?

What going to happen now?

Let see

We started after we suffered a big defeat

So all we‘ve done is get things back to normal.

Kurosaki and the others have got their work cut out for them

I guess it depends on them.

We'll never die peacefully

Well, that can't be helped, can it?

I sense something between Yoruichi and Boss.

Like what?

Well

Ow!

Kurosaki Clinic

I'm home!

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.

Guess what going to happen in the next episode.

Doctor Isshin's hardcore Medical Drama!

Kon's Steamy Pink Diary!

All wrong! Who was the last one?

It wasn't someone you know?

No. Agh, time's up

Fish sticks?!

Oh thank goodness It was a dream

What'll I do I'm too afraid to sleep now

Maybe I'll go to Kiyone's

I wonder if she'll get mad

and say I shouldn't visit other barracks so late at night!

Hm?

Isane.

Y-Yes?

It's been quite a busy day, hasn't it?

Once you calm down, go get some good rest

Yes.
