Bleach: Burîchi (2004–2012): Season 1, Episode 4 - Noroi no inko - full transcript
[♪♪♪]
[SIRENS WAILING]
BOY 1:
A cockatiel
that's cursed?
BOY 2:
Uh-huh.
All of the people that
have owned this bird
have gotten to these really
terrible situations and died.
BOY 1:
Wow. Are you serious?
That's not a good sign.
BOY 1:
Hey, Shegale,
you want to take him?
So please, tell me.
Just how stupid do I look
to you? Here's an idea.
Why don't you set him free
or dump him someplace?
BOY 2:
Well, that would be
too cruel.
Well, how about you,
Chad, what do you say?
BOY 1:
Isn't he cute?
BOY 2:
Hey, knock it off.
You know Chad's got a
weakness for cute things.
[SCREECHING]
Ah!
[SCREECHING]
[BOYS IN UNISON]:
Whoa!
HOLLOW:
We shall continue it.
We shall continue
our quest to devour.
In order to fill
the emptiness of our existence,
we must continue
our neverending
quest to hunt
them down.
And above all, it is
the spirit of a Soul Reaper
that is most delicious.
Once you have tasted it,
you will never forget it.
You will crave
it always.
[GROANING]
Ah!
Ch-Ch-Chad?
Yeah, are you
all right, buddy?
Yeah,
I think I'm okay.
BOY 1:
You're okay?
Then how come
you're bleeding, bro?
BIRD:
Thank you so much
for saving me.
Hello there,
my name is Yuichi Shibata.
So what's your name,
mister?
What?
Did you hear that?
That-that bird is talking
just like a real person.
Yeah, I heard it.
It is cursed.
YUICHI:
I'd really like to
know your name, mister.
Sado Yasutora.
CHAD:
I'm 15 years old.
BOY 2: Check it out.
Chad's interested in the bird.
ICHIGO: Jeez, there's not even
a trace of that burn left.
It's nearly healed
in just one day.
Don't be
so surprised.
I got the best grades
in my Kido class,
and I have
a talent for it.
Healing your wound
was easy.
You got graded?
So what then?
ICHIGO: There's a school
for Soul Reapers?
RUKIA:
Huh?
You could call
it that.
Tell me, how do I
drink from this thing?
Uh, you gotta
poke a hole in it.
You just use the sharp end of
your straw.
What straw?
Umph.
MIZUIRO: So, you're
together again.
Huh?
MIZUIRO:
Uh-huh, you two
seem pretty chummy.
ICHIGO:
Mizuiro, shut up.
Come on, does it really look
to you like we're chummy?
Maybe.
Well, to be honest, you two
do appear to be pretty close.
But people are going to talk,
and if they talk enough,
everyone will think
that you're an item.
Whatever.
If I really cared about
what people think,
then I guess I would have dyed
my hair black a long time ago.
Yeah, that's true.
RUKIA:
So this is the straw.
It's short.
But now I have to know,
where do I poke it?
Hi there.
How you doing?
Why, hello there.
You're, um, Mizuiro?
That's me.
I guess we haven't been
properly introduced.
I'm Mizuiro Kojima.
I really like--
Picking up chicks.
Huh?
Ichigo, that's not cool.
Watch it. He may look
like a dork,
but he's a real player.
Seriously.
MIZUIRO: Cut it out!
You'll permanently
damage my reputation.
Besides, Ichigo, you know older
women are really more my style.
Like I said, Rukia,
watch this one.
Huh?
[GRUNTING]
Eh,
just forget it.
What's this, Rukia Kuchiki,
the hot transfer student,
is here with
you guys?
How did
that happen?
Ichigo picked
her up.
He's the one who
brought her here.
Huh?
I did not.
Ichigo did?
Ha-ha, what a guy!
Good job!
Well, I guess.
It's really no big deal.
Huh?
Greetings!
I'm Keigo Asano.
Welcome, lovely lady,
to this garden of manliness.
Uh, hello.
Yeah!
Lunch party, right here,
right now!
ICHIGO: Some party,
noodles and juice?
KEIGO: Shut up!
It's the feeling that counts.
So, Rukia, if you find
yourself needing anything,
you just call on me.
I'm here for you.
Oh? Great!
Open this.
No prob. Your wish is
my command. Huh?
ICHIGO:
Hey, Chad.
Hm.
So Chad,
what's with the bandages?
Whoa,
you got hurt.
How?
What happened to you?
I had a mishap.
A steel beam
fell on my head.
A steel beam,
for real?
CHAD:
My hand got hurt when
a motorcycle ran into me.
The rider that hit me
got banged up pretty bad.
The force of the collision threw
him off and he was knocked out,
so I picked the guy up
and carried him to the hospital.
MIZUIRO:
Well, no wonder you
were late to school.
The only thing
I wonder about is
what exactly is
your body made of?
Hey, so where did you
get that bird?
My name's Yuichi Shibata.
It's nice to meet you.
YUICHI:
What's your name?
That is amazing!
I mean, the way this bird
can talk is phenomenal.
My name's Keigo Asano.
Keigo Asano,
can you say that?
So Chad, just where
did you get this bird?
Someone...
Gave me him.
MIZUIRO: Hold it,
there you go again,
getting lazy and cutting
your story short.
Come on! That's a bad habit
you have, Chad.
MIZUIRO:
Now explain. Spill it.
CHAD:
That was the whole story.
MIZUIRO:
There you go,
just like you usually do.
You never share the details--
RUKIA:
Don't worry.
Huh?
You're right, there is
something in that bird,
but I don't think
it's evil.
RUKIA: It's probably
just a lonely soul,
you know, one that
didn't have many friends.
But we can't leave it,
or it might become a Hollow.
RUKIA: Tonight, we need
to perform a Konso.
Oh, great.
That's just what I need,
another sleepless night.
It doesn't help
to complain.
Yeah,
I know.
[IN HEAD]:
How odd.
Ichigo was concerned about
the safety of others
and sensed
the soul's presence.
Maybe he's beginning
to understand
what it means
to be a Soul Reaper.
Here you go.
Oh, thank you. Mm.
ICHIGO:
I gotta tell you,
Hm?
back in eight grade,
that was when I first met Chad.
[CHUCKLING]
ICHIGO:
The color of my hair always
got people's attention,
but not in a good way,
and I'd end up in these fights.
The day I met Chad, his timing
couldn't have been better.
I was in the middle
of this little scrape.
[GRUNTING]
These guys really
meant business.
[GRUNTING]
Ah!
Ugh.
Hey!
Who the hell?
Huh?
Ah!
Uh!
GUY 1:
Hold onto him!
GUY 2:
Go ahead, Ashiba,
let him have it!
Die!
[GRUNTING]
ICHIGO:
And that was
the day I met Chad.
ICHIGO: And Chad
never fights back,
no matter how much
people egg him on.
RUKIA:
He's an odd one.
ICHIGO:
Yeah.
RUKIA:
This juice tastes good.
ICHIGO:
Enjoy.
ICHIGO:
I'm home.
YUZU:
Move, Ichigo!
Out of the way!
Hey,
what's your hurry?
Where's the fire, Karin?
Hey.
Welcome home,
Ichigo.
So what's got
you both so worked up?
An accident.
There was a big car wreck down
at the corner.
The big car wreck?
ISSHIN [DISTANTLY]:
I just told you,
four cars!
So you can't
take that many?
Well, here's a news flash,
they gotta go somewhere.
ISSHIM:
We can't treat them all here,
we're a small clinic.
Listen, tell your boss this is
a request from Isshin Kurosaki.
He'll find me some hospital
beds that are open, no problem.
Just do it!
Uh, hey, Dad.
Damn stupid idiots,
they wouldn't know
a stethoscope
from a cellphone.
So is there
anything I can do?
No.
Just assume that fetal position
and stay out of the way.
YUZU:
Dad, we've got this one last
patient that needs treatment.
ISSHIM:
Right. Man, this guy's
as big as they come.
ISSHIM:
Ichigo, come here
and get to work.
You bet.
Uh...
ICHIGO:
Chad.
Hm?
Whoa,
what a horrible wound.
So, what happened
to you out there?
ISSHIM:
This looks like
a pretty nasty burn,
but I think
I can help you out.
[IN HEAD]:
I've got this feeling.
With this wound,
you're going to have
to take it easy
for a while.
CHAD: That's good.
Huh?
I'm fine now.
Thanks for helping.
What?
You are crazy!
Do you have any idea how
much blood you've lost, son?
[GROANS]
I told ya.
Yuzu, Karin,
get a bed ready for him.
YUZU: Right. Time to go
to bed, Mr. Giant.
Did you feel it?
Of course.
I felt it all the way
in here,
and yet I sense no evil
in Chad's bird.
But I sense that
Chad's wound...
It really reeks
of a Hollow.
[GRUNTS]
[♪♪♪]
Uh!
Uh!
[DOOR OPENS]
YUZU:
Morning, Ichigo.
Breakfast is ready.
[DOOR CLOSES]
So, hey,
is Karin up yet?
She didn't
want to eat.
YUZU:
She said she's not
feeling so good.
I'm worried.
[SHIVERING]
ICHIGO:
Really? Karin's sick?
That's not like her.
ISSHIM: Ichigo!
ICHIGO: Huh?
Bad news! Chad's disappeared
from his room! He's gone!
[PANTING]
RUKIA:
Ichigo!
Huh?
ICHIGO:
Rukia.
So you got any idea
about where he might be?
No.
You got any info?
Not yet.
There's no news from
the Soul Society about a Hollow,
and I'm not sensing
anything either.
When Hollows aren't
chasing souls,
they can hide
themselves between
this world and
the Soul Society.
When a Hollow is between
those two worlds,
like the one on the left,
it can't be detected.
What that means is that we won't
be able to locate that Hollow
and deal with it until it
shows up to attack Chad.
You understand?
You got it?
I think I can understand those
kindergarten drawings of yours.
Uh!
Ugh!
I think I got it.
A Hollow's targeting Chad
to gobble up his soul.
But if we wait for it
to show up and attack him,
it'll be too late.
I've gotta think.
I got an idea.
We'll use Chad's
bird friend.
ICHIGO:
Can we use that bird
to help us detect
the presence
of a Hollow?
No,
that's impossible.
[SIGHING]
I-ch-igo,
what's this sensation
I'm feeling?
YUICHI:
You sure are nice,
mister.
Hm.
YUICHI:
But I need to
apologize to you
and help you understand
something.
Please listen?
Everyone who has ever owned me
ends up with bad luck.
Yeah.
I know.
YUICHI:
I'm sorry.
I should have told you.
It's not--
CHAD:
Don't worry about it.
YUICHI:
So please, mister,
forgive me?
And abandon me,
just leave me here and go.
Hm.
YUICHI:
Go ahead, mister.
I can't do
that to you.
[SHIVERING]
[COUGHING]
KARIN [STRUGGLING]:
I-chi-go.
[WHIMPERING]
I have got
to tell him.
[IN HEAD]:
He's trying to feel
the soul in that bird.
Even I can't sense such
a weak soul at this distance.
And that human soul
is partially
eclipsed by
the bird's soul.
RUKIA [IN HEAD]:
To hone in on it
from so far away.
He's done it.
Oh, yeah...
I got you!
Ah, wow.
[GRUNTS]
[IN HEAD]:
He saw it.
RUKIA [IN HEAD]:
Spirit ribbons,
rays of spirit energy.
But only a high level
Soul Reaper can see those.
[IN HEAD]:
Can it be?
Is he really developing into
a Soul Reaper that quickly?
CHAD:
I think we somehow
ditched him.
YUICHI:
Listen, mister,
you're in danger here.
Don't worry,
I'll be fine.
If nothing else,
I should be sturdy enough
to handle this.
Huh?
[CREAKING]
Huh?
[BOOMING]
It's found us.
Let's get out of here.
Oh, mister!
CHAD:
Don't worry,
we're gonna make it.
[GLASS SHATTERING]
[PANTING]
ICHIGO:
There!
It's Chad!
Hey, Chad,
stop running away!
You need my help,
hold up!
KARIN:
Ichigo!
ICHIGO:
Karin?
What are you doing here?
You look really sick.
Uh.
Karin?
Ichigo, you need to
get Karin home now
so we know
she'll be safe.
I'll handle them.
Hm? What,
are you kidding me?
I can't just
leave you.
Just do as I say.
I know what would happen
if we leave her here.
You'd be worrying about her
when you fight the Hollow,
and that cannot happen here,
no matter what.
[SIGHING]
Go on, get moving.
Get her home.
And get back
here quick.
ICHIGO:
Rukia, I hope you know
right now you
don't have
the strength to fight
a Hollow by yourself.
ICHIGO:
Please,
don't risk yourself
for my sake.
RUKIA:
Don't be stupid.
A veteran Soul Reaper never
takes any unnecessary chances
with a Hollow.
Now, go.
Right.
[GRUNTING]
You're gonna be
all right, Karin.
You just hold on and
hang in there, okay?
Ichigo...
I came to tell you,
I saw it.
I saw the memories of
the spirit possessing that bird.
Maybe it was because
I'm the closest in age
to that human soul.
His strongest memory flowed
into my mind, and I saw it all.
I saw exactly
what he saw...
KARIN:
His mother's murder.
[SCREAMS]
It happened right
in front of him.
You must tell him that
if he goes to the other side,
she'll be there.
You've gotta help
that poor boy!
Please do it!
Don't let him
be alone anymore.
All the terrible
pain he's had...
It needs to end.
[PANTING]
RUKIA:
Damn. I can't even
catch up with him!
This Gigai I have is worthless,
I can't even fly!
Next time I get
a temporary body,
I'll make those R&D imbeciles
give me one stronger than this!
This Gigai's legs
can barely run,
and its heart and lungs
are slowing me down.
This is bad.
[PANTING]
[GRUNTING]
HOLLOW:
You smell good.
[PANTING]
You smell...
wonderful, delicious.
Time to eat
your soul!
[GRUNTING]
So you're
still alive.
You're tougher
than I thought,
and you can see me
quite clearly.
That makes me
curious.
Just who are you?
[GRUNTING]
Ah!
[GRUNTING]
Ruler, the mask of
blood and flesh,
all things of
the universe that fly.
That which takes...
[GRUNTING]
In the name of truth
and temperance,
dig your claws into
the wall of sinless dreams!
Bakudo 33,
kale fire crash!
[IN HEAD]:
I did it.
I got my powers back.
Huh?
Ah.
[BOOMING IN DISTANCE]
What's going on?
Hear that?
YUICHI:
It's attacking her.
Hm?
YUICHI:
It's that young lady who
was chasing us before.
The monster is attacking
her right now.
It's going to hurt
her really bad.
You,
just stay here.
I gotta go.
What are you
going to do?
I'm going to
help her.
Wait!
Please!
Don't go,
it's just too dangerous.
No, don't. Don't do it!
Don't go!
You don't understand.
Wait.
It's not me I'm worried about,
it's you.
I really don't care what happens
to me, but you're nice, mister.
It's just that
I don't want to see
you get hurt like
all the others!
He's a monster, and you won't
even be able to see him!
He will kill you!
Don't do it!
No, please, stop!
He'll get you, too! Don't go!
Oh, no.
My spell, it didn't
even hurt him!
[CHUCKLING]
I see.
So that's what
you are.
I know that spell,
it's a Soul Reaper's spell.
But yours was so weak,
it had no bite to it. Too bad.
Uh!
[IN HEAD]:
It's just as I thought.
My Kido hasn't
recovered its force.
My spell has
no effect.
HOLLOW:
My, my, a tender little Soul
Reaper who's lost her power.
Mm, and you do smell
so delicious.
This is bringing back
such wonderful memories.
You see, I've already
had the pleasure
of devouring two other
Soul Reapers who tried
to help this boy pass on
to the Soul Society.
HOLLOW:
And I assure you,
they were mighty
good eating.
The boy?
You mean the human soul
that's in that bird?
That's right.
What's your problem?
Why is it you've pursued this
poor kid so relentlessly?
Tell me why!
I might be more inclined
to give you an answer,
if you were to let me
have a little nibble.
You Hollow scum.
[MANIC LAUGHTER]
[WHIMPERING]
Don't worry, Karin.
You've got to tell that boy,
if he passes on
he'll be able
to see his mother!
You just have to let
that poor boy know.
Don't let that boy
be alone anymore.
Please don't let
that happen.
He deserves
to be at peace.

[WOMAN SINGING IN JAPANESE]
URAHARA:
Ichigo's really
learning how
to win friends and
influence Hollows.
And Rukia's still
test driving her new Gigai,
so she's mixing
it up, too.
But how are they going to hand
this Hollow hooligan his hat
and give him
a big shove?
ICHIGO:
Hey, bucket head, you
better get back to your store
and make sure that licorice
root shipment came in.
We're out of here.
[SIRENS WAILING]

you're bleeding, bro?

How did
that happen?

He's the one who

I did not.
Ichigo did?
Ha-ha, what a guy!
Good job!
Well, I guess.
It's really no big deal.

I gotta tell you,
Hm?
back in eight grade,
that was when I first met Chad.
[CHUCKLING]
ICHIGO:
The color of my hair always
got people's attention,
but not in a good way,
and I'd end up in these fights.
The day I met Chad, his timing
couldn't have been better.
I was in the middle
of this little scrape.
[GRUNTING]
These guys really
meant business.
[GRUNTING]
Ah!
Ugh.
Hey!
Who the hell?
Huh?
Ah!
Uh!
GUY 1:
Hold onto him!
GUY 2:
Go ahead, Ashiba,
let him have it!
Die!
[GRUNTING]
ICHIGO:
And that was
the day I met Chad.
ICHIGO: And Chad
never fights back,
no matter how much
people egg him on.
RUKIA:
He's an odd one.
ICHIGO:
Yeah.
RUKIA:
This juice tastes good.
ICHIGO:
Enjoy.
ICHIGO:
I'm home.
YUZU:
Move, Ichigo!
Out of the way!
Hey,
what's your hurry?
Where's the fire, Karin?
Hey.
Welcome home,
Ichigo.
So what's got
you both so worked up?
An accident.
There was a big car wreck down
at the corner.
The big car wreck?
ISSHIN [DISTANTLY]:
I just told you,
four cars!
So you can't
take that many?
Well, here's a news flash,
they gotta go somewhere.
ISSHIM:
We can't treat them all here,
we're a small clinic.
Listen, tell your boss this is
a request from Isshin Kurosaki.
He'll find me some hospital
beds that are open, no problem.
Just do it!
Uh, hey, Dad.
Damn stupid idiots,
they wouldn't know
a stethoscope
from a cellphone.
So is there
anything I can do?
No.
Just assume that fetal position
and stay out of the way.
YUZU:
Dad, we've got this one last
patient that needs treatment.
ISSHIM:
Right. Man, this guy's
as big as they come.
ISSHIM:
Ichigo, come here
and get to work.
You bet.
Uh...
ICHIGO:
Chad.
Hm?
Whoa,
what a horrible wound.
So, what happened
to you out there?
ISSHIM:
This looks like
a pretty nasty burn,
but I think
I can help you out.
[IN HEAD]:
I've got this feeling.
With this wound,
you're going to have
to take it easy
for a while.
CHAD: That's good.
Huh?
I'm fine now.
Thanks for helping.
What?
You are crazy!
Do you have any idea how
much blood you've lost, son?
[GROANS]
I told ya.
Yuzu, Karin,
get a bed ready for him.
YUZU: Right. Time to go
to bed, Mr. Giant.
Did you feel it?
Of course.
I felt it all the way
in here,
and yet I sense no evil
in Chad's bird.
But I sense that
Chad's wound...
It really reeks
of a Hollow.
[GRUNTS]
[♪♪♪]
Uh!
Uh!
[DOOR OPENS]
YUZU:
Morning, Ichigo.
Breakfast is ready.
[DOOR CLOSES]
So, hey,
is Karin up yet?
She didn't
want to eat.
YUZU:
She said she's not
feeling so good.
I'm worried.
[SHIVERING]
ICHIGO:
Really? Karin's sick?
That's not like her.
ISSHIM: Ichigo!
ICHIGO: Huh?
Bad news! Chad's disappeared
from his room! He's gone!
[PANTING]
RUKIA:
Ichigo!
Huh?
ICHIGO:
Rukia.
So you got any idea
about where he might be?
No.
You got any info?
Not yet.
There's no news from
the Soul Society about a Hollow,
and I'm not sensing
anything either.
When Hollows aren't
chasing souls,
they can hide
themselves between
this world and
the Soul Society.
When a Hollow is between
those two worlds,
like the one on the left,
it can't be detected.
What that means is that we won't
be able to locate that Hollow
and deal with it until it
shows up to attack Chad.
You understand?
You got it?
I think I can understand those
kindergarten drawings of yours.
Uh!
Ugh!
I think I got it.
A Hollow's targeting Chad
to gobble up his soul.
But if we wait for it
to show up and attack him,
it'll be too late.
I've gotta think.
I got an idea.
We'll use Chad's
bird friend.
ICHIGO:
Can we use that bird
to help us detect
the presence
of a Hollow?
No,
that's impossible.
[SIGHING]
I-ch-igo,
what's this sensation
I'm feeling?
YUICHI:
You sure are nice,
mister.
Hm.
YUICHI:
But I need to
apologize to you
and help you understand
something.
Please listen?
Everyone who has ever owned me
ends up with bad luck.
Yeah.
I know.
YUICHI:
I'm sorry.
I should have told you.
It's not--
CHAD:
Don't worry about it.
YUICHI:
So please, mister,
forgive me?
And abandon me,
just leave me here and go.
Hm.
YUICHI:
Go ahead, mister.
I can't do
that to you.
[SHIVERING]
[COUGHING]
KARIN [STRUGGLING]:
I-chi-go.
[WHIMPERING]
I have got
to tell him.
[IN HEAD]:
He's trying to feel
the soul in that bird.
Even I can't sense such
a weak soul at this distance.
And that human soul
is partially
eclipsed by
the bird's soul.
RUKIA [IN HEAD]:
To hone in on it
from so far away.
He's done it.
Oh, yeah...
I got you!
Ah, wow.
[GRUNTS]
[IN HEAD]:
He saw it.
RUKIA [IN HEAD]:
Spirit ribbons,
rays of spirit energy.
But only a high level
Soul Reaper can see those.
[IN HEAD]:
Can it be?
Is he really developing into
a Soul Reaper that quickly?
CHAD:
I think we somehow
ditched him.
YUICHI:
Listen, mister,
you're in danger here.
Don't worry,
I'll be fine.
If nothing else,
I should be sturdy enough
to handle this.
Huh?
[CREAKING]
Huh?
[BOOMING]
It's found us.
Let's get out of here.
Oh, mister!
CHAD:
Don't worry,
we're gonna make it.
[GLASS SHATTERING]
[PANTING]
ICHIGO:
There!
It's Chad!
Hey, Chad,
stop running away!
You need my help,
hold up!
KARIN:
Ichigo!
ICHIGO:
Karin?
What are you doing here?
You look really sick.
Uh.
Karin?
Ichigo, you need to
get Karin home now
so we know
she'll be safe.
I'll handle them.
Hm? What,
are you kidding me?
I can't just
leave you.
Just do as I say.
I know what would happen
if we leave her here.
You'd be worrying about her
when you fight the Hollow,
and that cannot happen here,
no matter what.
[SIGHING]
Go on, get moving.
Get her home.
And get back
here quick.
ICHIGO:
Rukia, I hope you know
right now you
don't have
the strength to fight
a Hollow by yourself.
ICHIGO:
Please,
don't risk yourself
for my sake.
RUKIA:
Don't be stupid.
A veteran Soul Reaper never
takes any unnecessary chances
with a Hollow.
Now, go.
Right.
[GRUNTING]
You're gonna be
all right, Karin.
You just hold on and
hang in there, okay?
Ichigo...
I came to tell you,
I saw it.
I saw the memories of
the spirit possessing that bird.
Maybe it was because
I'm the closest in age
to that human soul.
His strongest memory flowed
into my mind, and I saw it all.
I saw exactly
what he saw...
KARIN:
His mother's murder.
[SCREAMS]
It happened right
in front of him.
You must tell him that
if he goes to the other side,
she'll be there.
You've gotta help
that poor boy!
Please do it!
Don't let him
be alone anymore.
All the terrible
pain he's had...
It needs to end.
[PANTING]
RUKIA:
Damn. I can't even
catch up with him!
This Gigai I have is worthless,
I can't even fly!
Next time I get
a temporary body,
I'll make those R&D imbeciles
give me one stronger than this!
This Gigai's legs
can barely run,
and its heart and lungs
are slowing me down.
This is bad.
[PANTING]
[GRUNTING]
HOLLOW:
You smell good.
[PANTING]
You smell...
wonderful, delicious.
Time to eat
your soul!
[GRUNTING]
So you're
still alive.
You're tougher
than I thought,
and you can see me
quite clearly.
That makes me
curious.
Just who are you?
[GRUNTING]
Ah!
[GRUNTING]
Ruler, the mask of
blood and flesh,
all things of
the universe that fly.
That which takes...
[GRUNTING]
In the name of truth
and temperance,
dig your claws into
the wall of sinless dreams!
Bakudo 33,
kale fire crash!
[IN HEAD]:
I did it.
I got my powers back.
Huh?
Ah.
[BOOMING IN DISTANCE]
What's going on?
Hear that?
YUICHI:
It's attacking her.
Hm?
YUICHI:
It's that young lady who
was chasing us before.
The monster is attacking
her right now.
It's going to hurt
her really bad.
You,
just stay here.
I gotta go.
What are you
going to do?
I'm going to
help her.
Wait!
Please!
Don't go,
it's just too dangerous.
No, don't. Don't do it!
Don't go!
You don't understand.
Wait.
It's not me I'm worried about,
it's you.
I really don't care what happens
to me, but you're nice, mister.
It's just that
I don't want to see
you get hurt like
all the others!
He's a monster, and you won't
even be able to see him!
He will kill you!
Don't do it!
No, please, stop!
He'll get you, too! Don't go!
Oh, no.
My spell, it didn't
even hurt him!
[CHUCKLING]
I see.
So that's what
you are.
I know that spell,
it's a Soul Reaper's spell.
But yours was so weak,
it had no bite to it. Too bad.
Uh!
[IN HEAD]:
It's just as I thought.
My Kido hasn't
recovered its force.
My spell has
no effect.
HOLLOW:
My, my, a tender little Soul
Reaper who's lost her power.
Mm, and you do smell
so delicious.
This is bringing back
such wonderful memories.
You see, I've already
had the pleasure
of devouring two other
Soul Reapers who tried
to help this boy pass on
to the Soul Society.
HOLLOW:
And I assure you,
they were mighty
good eating.
The boy?
You mean the human soul
that's in that bird?
That's right.
What's your problem?
Why is it you've pursued this
poor kid so relentlessly?
Tell me why!
I might be more inclined
to give you an answer,
if you were to let me
have a little nibble.
You Hollow scum.
[MANIC LAUGHTER]
[WHIMPERING]
Don't worry, Karin.
You've got to tell that boy,
if he passes on
he'll be able
to see his mother!
You just have to let
that poor boy know.
Don't let that boy
be alone anymore.
Please don't let
that happen.
He deserves
to be at peace.

[WOMAN SINGING IN JAPANESE]
URAHARA:
Ichigo's really
learning how
to win friends and
influence Hollows.
And Rukia's still
test driving her new Gigai,
so she's mixing
it up, too.
But how are they going to hand
this Hollow hooligan his hat
and give him
a big shove?
ICHIGO:
Hey, bucket head, you
better get back to your store
and make sure that licorice
root shipment came in.
We're out of here.
