06x18 - Urahara's Decision, Orihime's Thoughts

[bunniefuu]

So here you are, Inoue.

Yoruichi!

Kisuke asked me to find you.

Mr. Urahara?

He wanted me to take you tohis training ground immediately.

That's so cute!

That girl's gotunbelievable fashion sense!

Shut up!

How long are you going tokeep making noise?!

M-M-M-M-Matsumoto?!

Where did you come from?!

The entrance...The door's unlocked.

You're staying ina pretty unsafe place.

That aside...

Have your tastes changedsince you came here?

This is something I gotfrom the owner of the house!

You wear clothes preparedby the owner of the house?!

Of course!

I get a free bed and free meals.

I can't complain aboutwhat to wear!

Really? I'd loudly complainabout the food and the clothes!

Hey... Who's the poor guyshe's staying with?

It's that girl, Orihime.

It's none of our business,but I really feel sorry for her.

Hello... I'm home...

Ikkaku, Yumichika, how are...you?

Yahoo!

Is this a dream, or is this real?

It's the second comingof the Breast Goddess!

You underestimate me...

I'm Keigo Asano!

The same techniquewon't hit me twice...

Hey... He only pounced at you.There's no need to go that far.

Oh! Sorry.I kind of got carried away.

I'm home, darling!

Were you a good boy?!

Sorry... I went into the wrong room...

Hey!

No I didn't!

You made me dosomething corny!

Who are you?!

Is everyone in this houselike this?

Things are going to get complicated,

- so do what you came to do and just leave.- Hey! Don't ignore me!

- What in the world did you come here for?- Hey, you! Get out of here!

Hello Inoue, long time no see!

Um...

Seriously... Lately, I've beensurrounded by two smelly guys,

so it really is cheery whena woman is in the workplace!

Oh? So I'm not counted as a woman?

Oh, come now, Yoruichi.

I was talking about herein this basement!

Because of you,the shop upstairs is quite cheery!

What an interesting way to put it...

Come on. Inoue, sit right here!

Oh... Okay...

Sado... Renji...

They're loud as usual...

Urahara! He can't go on anymore!

I'm going to wrap up for today!

Sado!

Tessai! Ururu! Lirin!

Wake Sado up!

Leave it to me!

He'll recover as soon as I sprinklethis magic water on him!

Sado, you're only slightly injured!

Stay conscious!

We're with you!

No problem...

W-Wait...

I can still do this!

Don't act too tough.

No problem...

It's a big problem!

"Enigmatic are the ways of Heaven."

Even things you think you can domay lead to tragedy afterwards!

You must let us treat your body.

Hey! Nobody's listening to me.

You talk too much!

You bastard...

Ow ow ow ow ow...

Whoa... I'm surprised he hasn't died.

Give it your best!

Mr. Urahara... Umm...

What did you want to talkto me about?

Earlier, Matsumoto of Squad came here.

Huh?!

You know about the Ouken,the royal key, don't you?

This is sudden andkind of unexpected.

But whatever the case,

both Soul Society and we are preparingfor the upcoming battle in winter.

It'll be an all-out w*r.

More blood will probablybe shed than ever before.

And both Soul Society and wewill also need more power

than we have ever had before.

Yes...

It'll be all right. I'll stop Aizen.

I can still get stronger...

I can sense it.

I...

...want to become strong, too!

What's wrong?Do you want to stop?

Not yet!

I thought so. Then I'll tell you...

Inoue...

I want you to sit this battle out.

Huh?

Tsubaki...

He still hasn't recovered since

he was destroyed in your battlewith the Arrancar, has he?

No...

I can't even find a trace of him.He was smashed to pieces.

I don't even know howto fix him.

Tsubaki is your only methodof attack.

Without him, I cannot allow youto participate in combat.

It's the only logical thing to do.

Wait, Mr. Urahara!

Inoue is our friend!

She desperately fought in Soul Societyand against the Bounts!

Sado...

She says she wants to get stronger,

so we can't leave her out so easily!

That's an emotionallycharged argument.

Do you want Inoue to die?

No!

Inoue has more important abilitiesthan fighting...

She has defensive andhealing powers!

The Santenkesshun's defensive powerisn't that good.

It probably won't be ofmuch use in this battle.

And we have Squad for healing.

This time, even Captain Unohanaand Lieutenant Kotetsu

will probably be on the front lines.

There are more than enough people

who can fill the space thatInoue leaves behind.

But...

You're being stubborn...

I'm saying that a warriorwho's lost her powers

is just a burden on everyone else.

Mr. Urahara!

It's okay.

Inoue...

It's all right... Thank you, Sado...

Thank you very much, Mr. Urahara.

I'm glad you gave it to me straight.

Excuse me!

Inoue!

Wait...

Abarai...

Don't... Mr. Urahara is right...

Even though Squad specializesin medical treatment,

they're still Thirteen CourtGuard Squad members.

They're trained in combat.

But even though Inouehas her abilities,

she's still an ordinary human.

Add her personality to that...

She was never meant for battle.

This might be a good timeto put it behind her.

Inoue...

She left.

Orihime...

Inoue?

What's wrong?Why are you in a rush?

K-Kuchiki...

Huh?! H-Hey, what's wrong, Inoue?!

Inoue!

What?!

Urahara said that?I can't forgive him.

No... It's all right...

I sort of calmed downafter talking to you.

This is for the best. I'm sure of it.

It's true, I'm not powerful enough...

It's not okay!

You've been fighting all this time!

Aren't you mad thatyou were cut off so easily?!

I-I'm not mad...

Don't lie!

I'm not lying! I'm not mad!

But...

I'm just sad thatI can't fight with everyone!

But what I hate morethan being sad

is becoming a burden on everyone.

If I'm going to become a burdenon Kurosaki and everyone else,

I'd rather be sad.

Listen, Inoue...

It's not those without powerwho are a burden in battle...

It's those who lack determination!

None of us have been a burdenin any of our battles.

Ichigo, Sado, Ishida,everyone else, and you, Inoue...

Without even one of you...

I wouldn't be here right now.

There should be somethingyou can do

to prepare for the showdown.

Let's look for that together, Inoue.

Kuchiki...

Wha--?!

H-Hiyori?!

I'm taking you with me!Hachi has business with you!

Hachi?

Wh-Who is she?!

Ow ow ow...

Hachi, this is what you wanted, right?!

Inoue?

All right, Ichigo!Your break is over!

Wait a sec!What do you want with Inoue?

I said that break-time is over!

You bastard!

I am Hachi, otherwise known as,Hachigen Ushoda.

Pleased to meet you.

P-Pleased to meet you...

Hmm... Hmm...

U-Umm... What did you wantto see me about?

- Hmm...- Ow ow ow ow ow ow!

You're pulling it off.You're pulling it off.

- Hmm...- You're going to pull off my head!

Ow ow ow ow...

I thought so!

This hairpin is the sourceof your power...

It's like a Zanpakuto!

Very unusual!

But it's cracked...

I've been wondering about thatever since you came in earlier.

Yes... I can't fix it...

It's been smashed into pieces.

Shall I fix it?

R-Really?!

Of course!

All right! Thank you very much!

It's nothing...

All right... Let go of her head already.

I don't understand!

Why is Hachi suddenly fixingthat girl's w*apon?

Who is that girl?

She just came out of nowhere.I don't like her!

She's annoying!

She's annoying!

- Quit your yapping!- No, no, no, no!

- Yap! Yap! Yap!- He's probably happy.

We don't really get to meet people

who have the same powersthat we do.

He probably feels likehis family has expanded.

Hachi...

As well as...

That's not good enough!

I see...

He was smashed into oblivion.

So he can't be fixed...

That's why you were left out.

Is that it?

Umm... It's not quite like that,

but I've already explainedthis five times,

so that's good enough.

But that's odd...

From what I can see ofyour Spiritual Pressure,

your power is very similar to mine.

If that's the case,

he should be able to returnto his original form

even if he was smashed to pieces.

Huh? What is it, woman?

Why do you look like that?

- All right! I'm so glad, Tsubaki!- Whoa! What are you doing?!

- Thank goodness!- Let me go!

Thank you, Hachi!

- I'm really glad, Tsubaki!- Hey! Let go of me!

Orihime...

Yes?

I have fixed Tsubaki...

Now you can go backto the battlefront.

But I also do not recommendthat you fight.

Since your power is like mine,

you are definitely notmeant for battle...

Especially against the Arrancars.

Even so, do you still want to fight?

Yes! I want to fight!

Then that's fine.

You still don't know everythingabout your power.

You should have a way to fight.

Keep this in mind...

What's important is notwhat things should be like,

but how you want them to be.

Okay!

Kuchiki!

- Kuchiki! Inside, it's actually...- It doesn't matter...

Don't say anymore.

Huh?

Upon coming here,

I faintly sensedIchigo's Spiritual Pressure.

If he didn't say anything about it,he probably had his reasons.

It's good enough that he's safe...

Let's go, Inoue.

Kurosaki...

I'm weak, and I always feel likeI'm looking back at you.

But right now, I'm going to goforward without looking back.

When we meet again,

I'll be able to fight withoutlooking at your back.

Let's go, Kuchiki!

That you, Ulquiorra?

What do you want?

You're all better...

I'm glad I brought your arm backjust in case.

It's taking too long!

My arm's going to rot.

It would be easier if our bodiesautomatically recovered,

just like your eye does!

Don't complain.

At least it's attached.

If your arm had beenentirely destroyed

like what happened to Grimmjow,

you would have been droppedfrom the Espada.

That's true.

I'm finished treating your arm.

All right.

How is it?

Is there any difference in movementor responses than before?

All right...

It's no good. If I were at my best,

she would have been blowninto pieces.

How silly...

Oh well...It'll get better sooner or later.

I'll get my revenge onthat Soul Reaper when it does!

You have an interesting ability...woman.

Captain! Kuchiki has calledsaying that

she's going to temporarily returnto Soul Society with a friend!

All right. Let's prepare for their welcome!

Yes! I've already mentioned itto the squad

and suggested preparingfor a welcoming party!

Don't forget to cook the rice.

Yes!

Are you guys really that bored?

The Arrancar Encyclopedia!

Today's lesson is on the techniquesthat the Arrancars use!

GONZUIGonzui is used to devour a large amount of souls!

PESQUISAPesquisa is used to detect Spiritual Pressure!

SONIDOSonido is used to move at fast speeds!

CERO Cero has powerful destructive power!

SONIDOGONZUI PESQUISA CERO Everyone, this is how you write them...

SONIDOGONZUI PESQUISA CERO They all look so difficult to write that I can't remember them...

- Umm...- Hey, Yammy...

- You shouldn't say that!- Umm...
