Bleach: Burîchi (2004–2012): Season 2, Episode 10 - Tachihadakaru Renji - full transcript

[MAN SINGING IN JAPANESE]

ICHIGO [SIGHING]:
We're still screwed.

'Cause even if that bald guy
I beat up was telling

the truth about Rukia being held
in some white tower,

we still don't know
where it is,

or which road we need
to take to get there.

[GASPS]

Hey,
wait a minute.

What about
this map?

This would help
us avoid

running into any more
captains out there.



HANATARO:
It's Rukia Kuchiki
you're looking for, isn't it?

I thought so.

It all makes
sense now.

And that means the white
tower you were talking about

must be
the repentance cell.

If you'll trust me,
I can help you.

I know a hidden way
into that tower.

[GANJU SIGHING]

GANJU:
I have to admit,

I wouldn't have thought of using
the sewer system.

Yes. Since it runs underground
throughout the Seireitei,

we can use it to go any place
we want safely,

without running
into any trouble.

I don't get how
something so big



can be kept a secret
from everyone.

GANJU:
It wasn't even hidden very well
under that flagstone.

Everybody knows
that it exists,

but they
don't use it.

No one will ever think of
looking for us down here.

How do you
know that?

Only a small number of Squad
Four

relief and aid workers
happen to know

the layout of
these tunnels.

So besides me, there really
aren't very many people who

know their way
around down here.

Oh,
I get it.

You Squad Four guys have to know
your way around these tunnels,

'cause it's a supply
route for delivery relief

and aid to all the
different units.

[HANATARO LAUGHS]

Well...
[SIGHS]

it's not so much that
it's a supply route,

but rather that we're
the ones who have to keep these

tunnels
cleaned up.

Actually, Squad Four
does seem to end up

with more than its share of
the menial chores.

You know,
he's actually got me feeling

a little bit sorry for
these Squad Four losers.

HANATARO:
Oh, but it isn't
all bad.

There are some advantages, too.
[CHUCKLES]

Hanataro.

Yeah?

Why are you doing
this for us?

Why should our mission
be any of your concern?

After all,
we're still your enemies.

Instead of
the white tower,

you could be leading us
into a trap.

Ichigo, don't.

Before we follow
you any further,

I wanna know why
you're helping us.

I know more about you
than you think,

from listening
to Rukia.

She talked a lot about
Ichigo Kurosaki.

Hm?
Huh?

Please save her.

You've got to.

Please rescue
Ms. Rukia.

YASOCHICKA:
Here's the latest
situation report.

Ikkaku Madarame and Yumichika
Ayasegawa, both of Squad 11,

have apparently been
withdrawn from

the front lines,
effective immediately.

It's reported that both
high-ranking officers

have sustained
serious injuries.

A detailed damage assessment
for the entire squad

is currently
under way.

But at the moment,
all we have to go on

are unconfirmed preliminary
reports of the day's action,

which would seem to indicate
that Squad 11

was almost completely
annihilated.

[GASPING FROM CROWD]

What?
That's impossible.

Not Squad 11.

MAN:
How could
a handful of Ryoka

have done so much damage
in just a few hours?

Ugh,
that Squad's pathetic.

Three of the Ryoka have
been positively identified.

And two of these
are known to

have taken a member
of Squad Four hostage.

Intelligence indicates that
this group is heading this way.

However,
since a short time ago,

we've been unable to detect
their spiritual pressure,

So their whereabouts
are now unknown.

[GRUNTS]

WOMAN:
Obviously, our intelligence
leaves something to be desired.

You know, now that
I think about it,

it's been awhile since our
fourth seat reported back in.

We'd better send someone
to check on the West 20 region.

Who knows?

He may have been defeated,
too.

Are you serious?

Isn't the fourth seat in your
squad Jiroba, the wind scythe?

That's right.

First Jidanbo,
now his brother?

Can they both really
have been defeated?

What the hell
is going on here?

[GASPS]

MAN:
Ah, I've been telling
you for years

that Squad 11
is overrated.

Well, what an unbelievable
mess this is turning into.

Right, Renji?

RANGIKU:
That much is for sure.

You're not helping
things by spreading rumors.

We don't even know
what happened here.

What's that about?
MAN: Come on, come on.

Take it easy,
Rangiku.

HANATARO:
After Rukia was captured
and before she was transferred

to the repentance cell, or the
white tower, as you call it,

she was held in a cell within
the Squad Six barracks.

At the time, I was assigned
to cleaning duty there.

So I saw her when
she was brought in.

To be honest,
I was scared of her at first.

I mean,
she is nobility after all.

But then,
I--

Then what?

On that first day,
when I spoke to her, I--

I'm so sorry to disturb you,
Ms. Rukia.

But I have to come in and
start my cleaning chores now.

There's no need for you
to address me formally.

HANATARO:
Um, but I, um--

I'd rather you
just call me Rukia.

Uh, but, um,
all right, then.

Rukia,
thank you.

No,
thank you.

[LAUGHS]
You're welcome!

HANATARO:
Her voice was
so gentle.

She was so much kinder
than I expected her to be.

It was such a relief
to me.

From that day on,

my cleaning chores
at the barracks

stopped being something
I dreaded, and became something

I actually look forward to.
And little by little,

Rukia started telling me
all kinds of things.

Can I ask another question,
Rukia?

What it really like over there,
in the world of the living?

What kind of food
do they eat?

And tell me, what kind
of drinks do they have?

I'm sorry.
I know I talk too much.

You don't have to answer me,
Rukia.

[CHUCKLES]
I'm sorry.

They have a drink
called juice

that comes in
paper cartons.

Oh!
What kind of a drink is that?

What does juice
taste like?

It's good,
but it's tricky.

Oh. Mm.

[SIGHS]

It was hard
to open.

There was a
certain technique.

That's hard
to imagine.

How could there be
any kind of technique

you couldn't have mastered,
Rukia?

Well,
it was difficult.

You might not have
been able to master it.

Huh?

There was...

this guy I met who showed me
how to do it.

Tell me
some more.

What else did you see
in the world of the living?

Were there any
strange things?

Did you know
a Mod-Soul

can be inserted into
inanimate objects,

as well as
the living?

Ah...

Do you mean those
illegal things?

Yes. I saw a guy put one
into a stuffed doll.

You mean into
a child's toy?

Some animal-shaped thing
with cotton and stuffing?

But why would anybody do
something so irresponsible?

That just
seems crazy.

You're right.

There are some crazy ones, both
there and here.

She told me
a lot...

about the world
of the living.

But almost all
the stories Rukia told

me had one thing
in common.

It seemed there was
always mention of this

one person
in particular.

Until one day, an official
execution order came for her.

It is as
I said.

Do I need to
repeat myself?

Twenty-five days
from now,

she'll go to the central
execution grounds,

where she will suffer
the ultimate punishment.

That is the final decision
of the Soul Society.

Rukia...

is the person you gave
your Soul Reaper powers

to the same person you always
mention in your stories

about the world
of the living?

Yes. His name was
Ichigo Kurosaki.

I only spent two months there
in that world with Ichigo.

But somehow, even after
such a short time,

I felt I could trust
him with my very life.

Because of me,

because of me,

Ichigo's own destiny
was changed and became twisted,

and he was hurt
terribly.

There's no forgiving
what I've done to him.

HANATARO:
Rukia sounded so sad as
she said those words.

Sounds to me like this Rukia's
one strange Soul Reaper,

don't you think?

Yeah.

She's something
else.

Huh?

And that's why
we're gonna rescue her.

Hey, stop.

Where are you taking off too?
Wait for me, Ichigo.

Did I say
something wrong?

GANJU:
Ichigo, wait up!

RUKIA:
I only spent two months there
in that world with Ichigo.

But somehow, even after
such a short time,

I felt I could trust
him with my very life.

RUKIA:
Because of me,

because of me,

Ichigo's own destiny
was changed and became twisted,

and he was hurt
terribly.

There's no forgiving
what I've done to him.

ICHIGO:
You're wrong, Rukia.

All of this
was my fault.

I swear, there's no way
I'm gonna let you die.

Rukia!

Okay.
The coast is clear.

You two can
come up now.

This is the closest opening
to the white tower.

[GRUNTING]
About time, too.

I've breathed enough
sewer air to gag a hippo.

There it is,
up there.

That's
the white tower.

GANJU:
This may be the
closest sewer opening,

but we've still got
a long way to go.

You know,
I've got a bad feeling this

isn't gonna be
an easy job.

The mist is starting
to clear.

Time to move.

What, Ichigo?

What do you see?

There's someone over there
by the stairs.

[GASPING]

[GASPING]

It's been awhile.

I wonder if you still
remember my face.

Oh, you'll be gone
and forgotten soon enough.

But first, I've got a whole
mountain of payback

I'm gonna extract
from you,

Renji Abarai.

You not only remembered my face,
but my name as well.

You're full
of surprises.

Thanks for
the compliment.

Whoa,
who is this guy?

His spiritual pressure is on
a completely different level

from all those guys we
were tangling with before.

[WHIMPERING]

No,
I can't believe it.

That's
Renji Abarai.

He's the lieutenant
of Squad Six.

A lieutenant?

RENJI:
I must admit,
I'm surprised to see you.

I was certain you'd be
a dead man after

I saw Captain Kuchiki
attack you like that.

Hey, wait!

Don't go rushing in,
Ichigo!

I don't know how you ever
managed to survive that.

But it would seem that
there is more to you

than I first
believed.

But as I told you,
I'm going to kill

the one who stole
Rukia's powers.

So this is as far
as you go.

Because as long as
you're still alive,

Rukia can never
regain her powers.

What do you care
about that,

when you've just sentenced
her to death!

[GRUNTING]
I'm going to cut you to pieces!

Just go ahead
and try!

[GRUNTING]

They've
just started.

He's going up
against Renji.

The Ryoka defeated
the third seat.

Now we'll see if he can
defeat a lieutenant.

If so, then he may truly be
a worthy opponent for me.

Kenny, I don't
understand something.

If you can't even sense
other spiritual pressure,

then how could you tell they're
fighting from miles away?

[LAUGHING]
I'm just strange that way.

Yeah,
you got that right.

MAN 1:
Have you two
found anything?

MAN 2:
No, not a trace
of them.

MAN 3:
It's been hours since
these Ryoka crossed over.

Our casualties keep rising, and
we still can't track them down.

Obviously, they've planned
this attack out thoroughly.

The way our response
has been handled so far,

I'm not even sure
the captains and lieutenants

even know what they're doing.
MAN 4: Come check this out!

They just found
Jiroba of Squad Seven.

And he's face down
and unconscious!

What?
No way!

Huh?

[PANTING]

[WHISPERING]:
They're gone.

Indeed.

Obviously,
Ichigo and the others

must be doing
quite a number out there.

I've never seen
so much security,

and it just keeps
getting tighter.

Mm,
that's true.

But I think you and I can handle
whatever comes along.

After all,
we've done great so far.

What is it?
Are you sensing something?

[IN HEAD]:
I'm feeling strong spiritual
pressure all of a sudden.

One of them
is Ichigo,

but the
other one...

It's Renji Abarai!

You sure ran into a tough
one this time, Ichigo.

[GASPS]

[LAUGHING]

[GASPS]
Ah!

Hey, are you getting
sick or something?

You don't look so good.
Got a fever?

Thank you. But I was just fine
until you two appeared.

That's good
to hear.

I was just
a little worried,

because you do space out
sometimes, you know.

Are you ready
to go?

Aw,
that was no fun.

Yeah,
totally boring.

Let's get
going then,

while the coast
is clear.

[PANTING]

[PANTING]

[IN HEAD]:
Ichigo's spirit energy
is increasing.

I can feel it.

But his opponent's spiritual
pressure is so strong,

it's off
the charts.

I'd better hurry.

[GRUNTING]

[♪♪♪]

[GRUNTING]

[GRUNTING]

Now he's doomed!

No matter how strong
Ichigo might've become,

there's no way he could
hope to defeat a lieutenant.

Hold on.

I wouldn't bet any money
against him just yet.

Take another look.
Something's happening.

[GRUNTING]

[BOTH YELLING]

Oh, wow.

Ichigo just pinned
Lieutenant Abarai

right up against
the wall.

[GRUNTING]

HANATARO:
Ganju,
this Ichigo guy...

what kind of a
human being is he?

Watching this fight,

I'm beginning to
wonder that myself.

So, tell me
the truth, Ichigo.

Do you actually
believe you're going

to be able
to rescue Rukia?

I do!

RENJI:
Even if somehow
you were to defeat me,

there are still 11
more lieutenants left.

And then,
of course,

above them are 13 full-fledged
squad captains.

You would have to utterly defeat
every single one us to even

have a chance of
reaching the tower.

You can't possibly believe
that you could pull that off.

I don't care
about the odds.

I don't care about
how many captains

or lieutenants
there are.

I'll defeat them all,
every one of them.

I'll defeat anyone who makes the
mistake of getting in my way!

Where does that
come from?

You know, this confidence of
yours borders on the insane.

Such a quality would
almost be admirable

if it weren't
so irrational.

So, your Zanpakuto
has changed, has it?

It's a mistake to think you're
stronger just because of that.

Just like it's a mistake
to get too conceited!

[GRUNTS]

Now roar,
Zabimaru!

Ah!

[GRUNTING]

[IN HEAD]:
I can't stop it!

[GRUNTING]

Ah!

Ichigo!

Oh!
Is he dead?

You seem to think just because
you fought me once before,

back there in
the world of the living,

that now you know
my true power!

Well, let me tell you
something, you amateur.

Whenever captain or
lieutenant-ranked

Soul Reapers
are sent outside,

severe limits
are placed on our powers

so that we won't adversely
affect the world of the living.

My strength
right now

is five times what it was
that first day we met.

So no matter how
confident you are,

or how strong
you become,

there's still no way
you can defeat me.

ICHIGO:
I see.

Huh?
Huh?

Hm?

ICHIGO:
Then I suppose that means that

last attack of yours
was your best shot.

[GRUNTING]

Because that didn't have
any effect on me at all.

So thank you.

If all I have to worry about
is 11 more like that one,

then I think I'm going
to be just fine, Renji.

Heh.

[GRUNTS]
I'm going to enjoy this.

[SQUAWKING]

[♪♪♪]

[WOMAN SINGING IN JAPANESE]

RENJI:
As I said before,
we Soul Reapers

have our powers limited in
the world of the living.

My strength right now
is five times greater

than it was when
I last fought you.

ICHIGO:
I've been training. I'm
10 times stronger than before!

RENJI:
Then I'm 100 times
stronger than that!

ICHIGO:
I'm 1,000 times
stronger than that!

RENJI:
I'm 10,000 times stronger.

ICHIGO:
I'm 100,000 times stronger.

RENJI:
I'm a million times stronger.

ICHIGO:
I'm plus 10 million
times stronger!

ICHIGO:
I'm infinity times stronger!
And that's that.
