[♪♪♪]

[SINGING IN JAPANESE]

What is it that makes
you so unreasonable?

What's your purpose?

Why did you come here
in the first place?

I've come to save
the life of Rukia Kuchiki.

Oh, come on.

Hm, you mean Rukia
the Soul Reaper

who went missing in the world
of the living a few months ago?

That's not enough time
for a true friendship.

A relationship like that



can't be worth
risking your life over.

I can't deny.

I don't know
very much about Rukia.

That's not the point.

I might not risk
my life for her but...

Ichigo wants
to save her life.

And that's all
I need to know.

[♪♪♪]

What may seem like
an unworthy cause to you

is more than enough
reason for me.

Well, I tried.

But if you're that determined,
it would be insulting

for me to ask you
to back down.

I guess it can't
be avoided.



Hm?

Unfortunately,
it means now I'm going

to have
to take your life.

[GRUNTS]

[PANTING]

[♪♪♪]

[GRUNTS]

[GASPS]

I'm sorry.

[GASPING]

Why would the stealth
force have sent you here?

If they had
orders to deliver,

they would have just sent
the hell butterfly.

In ordinary circumstances, yes.
But this one is different.

This order is signed
by both Head Captain Yamamoto

and Squad 10 Captain
Hitsugaya.

Signed
by both captains?

Is the order
top secret?

[♪♪♪]

[FOOTSTEPS]

[PANTING]

[GASPS]

[SLASHES]
[GROANING]

[GRUNTS]

[PANTING]

Is running away the only
thing you know how to do?

[PANTING]

Calm down.

Gotta calm down.

I can cut him!

I have to!

I'll let you go ahead
and have the first strike.

I'll stand here, and you can
cut me anywhere you want.

You can go for
my throat, or for my gut.

Take out my eyeball
if you want.

Or if you're lucky you might
kill me with single strike.

Just quit
your quivering!

[ROARING]

[♪♪♪]

This can't be happening.

I know I swung
with my full force.

And I know I didn't miss.

How can there not even
be a scratch on him?

And how can it be that
my hand is bleeding instead?

Impossible.

Is that it?
Is that really all you have?

[PANTING]

Damnit! I'm not scared of him!

[GRUNTING]

[CRASH]

That's enough
of this running around.

Stop embarrassing
yourself.

I'm not very fond
of chasing rabbits.

[BOTH GRUNTING THROUGHOUT]

[♪♪♪]

[CONTINUES GRUNTING]

Hm.

[SCOFFS]

[PANTING]

[GASPING]

Damn. How can that be?

[GRUNTING]

I hit him.

I hit him straight on.

But I couldn't cut him.
What does it mean?

Are his powers really
that much greater than mine?

Damn it!

No, calm down.

Got to calm down.

The only reason
I couldn't cut him

is that I'm overwhelmed
by his spiritual pressure.

That's the problem.

If I calm down and sharpen
my spiritual pressure,

then I should
be able to cut him.

Remember what Zangetsu
said, "Rid yourself of fear.

Focus only on the task ahead."

[♪♪♪]

"Retreat and you will die.

Hesitate and you will die."

I can win!

[GASPING]

Chad's spiritual pressure.

It's gone!

[CLINKS]

No, it can't be.

Chad's been defeated?

He can't be dead. No way.

It can't be possible.

Chad's too strong to lose.

He's invincible.

I must admit,
it surprises me

that his final attack
was that powerful.

If I had taken a direct hit,

I might have had
a real problem here.

It's amazing enough
that a human

could even get into
the Seireitei to begin with,

but to think that he
could fight this hard.

[NANAO PANTING]

NANAO:
Captain Kyoraku!
I have urgent news!

What is it now?

It must be important
to make you run.

Come to think of it, Stealth
Force sent someone, didn't they?

What's it about?

It-- It's about
Captain Aizen.

He was found
dead this morning.

Hm?

The cause of death was
the removal of his soul chain

and soul sleep and destruction
of his heart by Zanpakuto.

So far, there are no suspects.

It's being investigated
as a murder.

The news was classified
as top priority

for officers' eyes only.

And it's signed by both
Head Captain Yamamoto

and Captain Hitsugaya.

I believe the information
is accurate.

That's bad news.

Sosuke was--
Very well.

I suppose we should go
and pay our respects.

Yes sir.

[♪♪♪]

[GRUNTS]

Chad. Chad. Chad.

Chad! Chad!

[GASPING]

[♪♪♪]

Wait, one moment, Captain.

I just noticed something.

This Ryoka,
it isn't dead yet.

Shall I administer
the killing blow?

ICHIGO:
Chad!

Shall I administer
the killing blow?

Leave him be, Nanao.
That is my responsibility.

It's no job for you.

But Captain!

One of these same
Ryoka was probably

responsible for the murder
of Captain Aizen!

Hm,
perhaps.

But then again,
maybe they weren't.

Huh?
I'm just saying.

We don't
really know for sure.

Anything is possible.

Anyway, there's no need
to kill so unnecessarily.

Let's call
the rescue squad

and have him put
in a cell somewhere.

If he or one of his friends
is the killer,

all the more reason
to keep him alive to find out.

Understand?

Yes, Captain.
I understand.

I'll make the arrangements
with Squad Four at once.

My apologies, sir,
for trying to meddle.

Hm.

Things seem to be getting
rather complicated.

ICHIGO:
Chad!

[GRUNTS]

He's alive!

It's faint, but I can still
feel his spiritual pressure.

So then. What am I waiting for?

I have to win this fight.

Because if I lose now,

then Chad

and Orihime

and Uryu

and Ganju

and Hanatoro

and Yoruichi,

all the people who've
lent me their strength,

they'll all die!

[♪♪♪]

I can't be afraid!

I don't have the time!

[JINGLES]

So I see you decided
to stand your ground at last.

Does this mean that you are
prepared to die like a warrior,

or does it just mean
you've given up?

The answer is...

neither one!

[YELLS]

Wait for me Chad.

I'll beat this guy.

And then, I'll save you!

I promise!

[♪♪♪]

[INDISTINCT SINGING]

Sorry to say, but I don't
feel like dying just yet.

Because if I die, then
everyone who is counting on me

will be destroyed too.

I can cut him.

And if I can cut him,
then I can beat him.

I know it now.

I know I can win!

♪ Sensational ♪

What is this?

You're thinking you can
beat me now, aren't you?

[INDISTINCT SINGING]

Don't let
your guard down yet.

Stay like that,
razor sharp.

You see, this is
where the fun begins.

Now, Ichigo Kurosaki!

[GIGGLES]

Kenny looks so happy!

[LAUGHING]

[BOTH GRUNTING]

Sosuke Aizen, Captain of
Squad Five, has passed away.

When he was taken
down from the wall,

his breathing had
already stopped,

and nothing more
could be done.

No Gigai?

Are you certain
one wasn't used?

Yes.

I investigated every
conceivable angle,

including
the possibility

that someone might have used
a substitution body

to deceive other eyes
at the scene of the crime.

But in the end,
all of that only served

to confirm the reality
of Captain Aizen's death.

Of course once all
of this chaos and fighting

is finally resolved,
a new Squad Five Captain

will be selected by the Central
46 and the other squad leaders.

Squad Seven Captain Komamura,
Squad Nine Captain Tosen,

thank you for coming.

Now please return
to your commands

and rest assured,
I will soon pay a visit

to the front lines myself.

It was good of you
to come Captain Tosen

and Captain Komamura.

How is Captain Aizen?

I see.

What did Captain Unohana
say, if I may ask?

Only that Captain
Aizen had passed away.

It seems to me that
if we want to get

to the truth behind
Captain Aizen's death,

the quickest way will be
first to put an end

to all this fighting
and confusion.

And by that, do you mean--

Ah, unfortunately, yes.

I'm going to have to enter this
fight whether I like it or not.

Abstaining from
battle is always best,

but it seems things aren't
going to be so easy this time.

Ah, if it weren't
for fighting,

we could avoid
so many misunderstandings,

so many ugly emotions
brought to the surface,

so many ugly tragedies.

[♪♪♪]

Finally the time has come

for Captain Tozen's
Suzumushi to be released.

I loathe fighting
with all my heart.

[SCRAPING]

[SCREAMS]

[GRUNTING]

[BOTH GRUNTING]

[GASPING]

[JINGLES]

That's good. Good reaction.

[BOTH CONTINUE GRUNTING]

Your concentration
is improving.

Unlike earlier, you can actually
hear my bells ringing now.

I only wear the bells
and this eye patch

to make things harder

so I get more enjoyment
out of my battles.

I'm glad you're taking
advantage of them.

Because otherwise they
don't serve any purpose.

[GASPING]
Damnit.

You take me for a fool?

I suppose that's
also the reason

you won't call
on your Zanpakuto.

Hm?

Ha! You see?

Because we both know
my sword can cut you now,

so if you let
your guard down--

My Zanpakuto
doesn't have a name.

Eh?

My sword is completely
out in the open.

It has never
had a sealed form.

What you see here is
the true form of my Zanpakuto.

[GRUNTS]

Is that so?

Well you probably shouldn't
have revealed that.

Because that tells
me your sword isn't gonna

get any more powerful
than it is right now.

And in that case...

[GASPS]

In that case what?

In that case you were
going to be able to win?

Is that what
you were thinking?

Now you're the one who's
taking me for a fool.

You should have
thought to ask me

why I don't
seal my Zanpakuto.

It's my spiritual pressure.

It's so huge that even
if I use all of my might,

I can't seal it.

So when I fight,
I make sure to hold back.

I never swing my sword
with my full strength.

Do you see why?

If I didn't do that,
my enemies are so weak,

the battle wouldn't last long
enough for me to enjoy it.

[SLICES]
[GASPS]

[GASPING]

Didn't I tell you not to let
up on your spiritual pressure?

Relaxing just
because you found

a glimmer or two
of hope for victory?

[BOTH GRUNTING]

[GASPING]

What a boring way
for this to end.

[CRASH]

Tah. And I had been waiting
such a long time for this,

to come up against someone
who could have killed me,

someone who at least heard
my bells during battle.

[CONTINUES GASPING]

No more, huh?

That was no fun at all.

Damnit!

[GROANS]

Damn! Damn! Damn!

I don't want to die.
I can't die!

Not here.
Not in a place like this.

I can't.

I can't afford to die yet!

[♪♪♪]

Move! Move, body!

Gotta stop the bleeding.

You have to let me
fight one more time!

[GROANS]

I have to save Rukia!

[CONTINUES GASPING]

[♪♪♪]

[♪♪♪]

[SINGING IN JAPANESE]

Did you see that Ichigo?

That's the strength
of our Captain.

ICHIGO:
It isn't over yet. I'm going
to turn thing around right now.

Oh really? How?
ICHIGO: Well I'm gonna, um--

ZARAKI:
I'm looking forward
to hearing this too.

YACHIRU:
Kenny looks so happy!

ICHIGO:
Well I'll do my best!
