[MAN SINGING IN JAPANESE]

[CLANKING OF SWORDS]

[GASPING]

Didn't I tell you
not to let up on

your spiritual pressure?

[GRUNTING]

No more, huh?

That was no fun
at all.

[SQUEAKING]

[PANTING]

[GRUNTING]



Do you want
to fight?

Do you want
to win?

Or do you just
want to live?

Which one?

All I ever wanted
was to win.

I can't hear you.

Just fighting for
its own sake is meaningless.

A mere survival
is not enough of a purpose.

I wanna win this.

Winning is
the only thing.

Very well.

I will take
you there.

[GRUNTING]

What?



[GASPS]

Why are you lying down?

Are you kidding?

If I stand up,
I'll fall, like before.

You don't have to worry
about that.

The last time
you fell,

it was your
hollow transformation

that caused this inner world of
yours to lose its stability.

But this time,
it's different.

Take a look around you.

Even amidst
the fierce fighting,

your inner world
doesn't so much as quiver.

Everything
is solid now.

Wait a sec.

Are you telling me

that this whole crazy,
turned on its side state of mind

is actually normal
for me?

That's not exactly
reassuring.

Such stability
is an indication

of how much stronger
you've become.

Oh, so you're just gonna
ignore me now?

ZANGETSU:
Stand up, Ichigo.

Huh?

Oh! Ah!

What are you?
Insane?

Throwing an unsheathed sword
at me like that?

I could have sliced off
my hand right now.

Hang onto it.
It's your sword.

What?

This isn't my sword.

Hey, Zangetsu.

It will serve.

It's a Zanpakuto for
a low-ranking Soul Reaper

unworthy of joining
the 13 court squads.

Yeah, but my sword is
Zangetsu, not this thing.

Ah, Zangetsu,

the sword that was broken in two
by your opponent earlier?

Is this the one
you mean?

I cannot allow you
to have this one.

What are you doing?

HOLLOW ICHIGO: Out of my way.
Huh?

What the hell?

[SNICKERING]

Who are you?

Come on,
you know me...

Partner.

ZANGETSU:
Now begins the test

to decide whether or not you
deserve to wield me, Ichigo.

If you truly
want me to return,

then you must
take me from yourself.

ZANGETSU:
This time your enemy
is you.

[SNICKERING]

You think you're going to take
this sword away from me?

Good luck.

Go ahead and do it,
partner,

if you can!

[GRUNTING]
[YELLING]

[IN HEAD]:
I can't counter him.

[MANIC LAUGHTER]

[GRUNTING]

[IN HEAD]:
Incredible.

I never realized what
an amazing sword Zangetsu is.

It's spiritual aura is
practically burning up the air.

It's monstrous.

An ordinary Zanpakuto

might as well be a wooden stick
compared to that.

What am I supposed to do with
something like this?

Damn it.

What's the matter now,
partner?

If you're just going
to stand there,

you'll die.

[YELLING]

How did
he dodge that?

Ah!

[IN HEAD]:
He's spinning Zangetsu
from the cloth on its hilt.

I've never seen
this fighting style.

[SNICKERING]

Never even occurred to me
to try something like that.

Ha! What's wrong?
You scared?

I can't understand.

Here you have
this awesome sword,

and you still got
bloodied like that.

You're pathetic.

Tell me, does a stranger
become your friend

just because you ask him
for his name?

What are you
talking about?

Don't you get it,
partner?

That's exactly what
you've been doing.

You think
you've mastered Zangetsu

just by calling
its name.

You're so arrogant,

you haven't even tried to draw
out your weapon's full power,

or to understand how.

And I know why.

You're one of those guys
who thinks

the only one he has to train
is himself!

[SNICKERING]

[IN HEAD]:
He's right.

I never did really
try to understand Zangetsu.

[GRUNTING]

The Zanpakuto isn't just
some tool to be used.

Each one of them
has a name.

They're alive.

And yet...

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

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.

Damn.
What a fool I was,

thinking that gave me some
kind of advantage over him.

It turns out,
I'm no different.

[SNICKERING]

[SNICKERING]
[GRUNTING]

[IN HEAD]:
As it is,

I'm no better than
that bastard Kenpachi,

who didn't even know
his Zanpakuto's name.

I'm gonna change that.

Enough already.

Let's end this thing.

I'm going
to show you

what it truly means
to master Zangetsu, partner.

You couldn't master it,
even if you died trying.

[YELLING]

ICHIGO [IN HEAD]:
Show me, Master Zangetsu.

Show me everything.

Even if it's just
a little at a time,

I need to know

how to borrow your power
and your strength.

Zangetsu,
please let me...

[YELLING]

Fight with you
one more time!

[GRUNTING]

[IN HEAD]:
You're giving me
one more chance?

Thank you, master.

[GASPS]

HOLLOW ICHIGO:
He's gone.

What do you know?

So was that
good enough?

Yes.
It will do.

I appreciate you
coming.

HOLLOW ICHIGO:
Don't mention it.

After all, he's the king
of this world, isn't he?

We need him to win,
right?

Well,
my work is done here.

So can I go
back now?

Very well.

He's a strong one,
Zangetsu.

Train him well.

All that power is going
to be mine, eventually.

Ichigo,

you know how
I hate the rain?

And it rains in this world,
too.

If your heart
is troubled,

the skies
will become cloudy.

If you grieve,

it will rain
ever so easily.

I wonder if you
can understand

the fear of
being rained on

in this
lonely world.

To stop that rain,

I shall lend you
any strength,

any power.

If you just
have faith in me,

I will not allow any rain
to fall upon this world.

Trust me, Ichigo.

As long as I am here,
you'll never fight alone.

What the hell?
He had no pulse.

And yet he's
standing again.

His spiritual pressure...

[PANTING]

And his chest.

The bleeding
has stopped.

[♪♪♪]

[YELLING]

[GASPS]

[IN HEAD]:
I can't hold him.

[YELLING]

[GRUNTING]

[PANTING]

Sorry, but I haven't got
any time to waste here.

I'm gonna have to
make quick work of this.

[CHUCKLING]

You wanna finish it
quickly, eh?

Oh, there's no way
I can allow that, not now

when we're just starting
to have so much fun!

[GRUNTING]

I love it!

How did you come back
from the dead?

And how come you seem so much
stronger all of a sudden?

This battle has opened
the door to so many questions.

But I'm willing to forget
about them for the moment.

Let's just have fun
with this fight.

[GRUNTING]

[YELLING]

[IN HEAD]:
Damn it.

No matter how much I cut him,
he still won't go down.

Yeah.

Something's
not right here.

What's wrong with you?

Do you really love fighting
that much?

That's crazy.

Aren't you afraid
of dying?

Afraid of dying?

I can't believe you'd ask
such a stupid question.

Someone so strong, how could
you not love doing battle?

You should enjoy it,
revel in death and in pain.

Isn't that the price that
we warriors pay?

What's going on?

[LAUGHING]
Whoa!

What the hell
happened to your hair?

Hey!

Enjoy!

Huh?
[SCREAMING]

Those fireworks gave you
a new look, all right!

Fine.
I'll put this on. Happy now?

[LAUGHING]

YUMICHIKA:
What are you thinking about?

I was...

just sensing that the captain
is having fun right now.

You're right.
But with who?

His opponent has
incredible strength.

[shouting]

YUMICHIKA:
Ichigo, the kid who
defeated me.

But he's stronger now, almost
a completely different person.

[YELLING]

YUMICHIKA:
This could be bad.

I'm sensing that the captain is
on the defensive in this fight.

Do you suppose he
might actually--

IKKAKU:
Don't be a fool.

There's no way
the captain will ever lose.

[LAUGHING]

[PANTING]

At last, finally,
I have met my equal.

In fact, you might even be
slightly better than me.

I can't remember when
I've ever felt such elation.

[IN HEAD]:
Why is he still
so confident?

Against you,

I think I can fight
with no restraints at all.

Oh!

MAN:
Lieutenant Kusajishi, I have
an urgent message for you.

Um,
not right now.

Uh, but,
lieutenant,

this is
a high priority.

It's been signed by both
Head Captain Yamamoto

and Captain Hitsugaya
of Squad 10.

Um,
come back later.

But lieutenant, you're
gonna get me in big trouble.

I have to
follow orders.

If I don't get this
delivered to you,

and headquarters
finds out--

Shut up, you!

[MOANING]

Kenny is fighting,
so stop bothering me.

Understand?

[IN HEAD]:
What the hell?

When he took off
his eye patch,

his spiritual energy
went through the roof.

[CHUCKLING]

Heh. It's a little late
in the fight

for you to be trying
something new, isn't it?

What nasty little secret
have you been

hiding behind that
eye patch?

Hiding?
Ha!

As if I'd stoop so low as
to use tactics like that.

I had the technology
department design

this little monster
for me.

It consumes huge amounts
of spirit energy

from the one wearing it.

Now that
I've taken it off,

I'm releasing 100%
of my spirit energy.

And I'm going to use
every bit of it to kill you.

It's that simple.

Can you hear that,
Ichigo?

Can you hear the cries
of his sword?

[SHRIEKING]

You hear it.
But he cannot.

And when two who do not trust
each other fight together,

the strength
they each process

is diminished.

ZANGETSU:
One who believes only
in himself

cannot understand this.

Ichigo, do you have complete
and utter trust in me?

It goes
without saying.

I'm putting all of my power
in your hands, Zangetsu.

Do with me
what you will.

And lend me all your power
in order to win this fight.

Yes.

Even now your spiritual force
still increases.

Excellent.
Of course.

It keeps increasing,

because I'm borrowing
Zangetsu's power,

and fighting
alongside him.

I can never lose to someone
like you, who fights all alone.

I'm twice as strong.

ZARAKI:
Zangetsu?

Is that the name
of your Zanpakuto?

And so you are borrowing
the power of your sword,

and fighting
alongside it?

Heh.
What nonsense.

ZARAKI:
Zanpakuto are
simply weapons.

Your approach is
that of a weakling,

a boy who has so little
confidence in his own strength

that he must borrow
the power of Zanpakuto.

Well,
that's not my approach.

Weaklings die!

ZANGETSU:
Here he comes,
Ichigo.

But I'm nearing the limit of my
ability to stop your bleeding.

We will finish this
in one single blow.

[YELLING]

[GRUNTING]

[BOOMING]

[GASPING]

Sorry,
my friends.
