[man singing in Japanese]

[whimpering]

Shh.

Okay now.
Who the hell's this?

Captain of Squad Three,
Gin Ichimaru.

Oh, not good.

[grunting]

[grunting]

Jidanbo!
No!

[grunting]



Unacceptable.

Being a guardian of the gate

doesn't mean you're supposed
to open the gate.

[grunting]

[Yoruichi]
How careless of me.

I didn't think someone
of his caliber would show up.

Even if these kids
have gotten stronger,

the strength of a captain
is beyond their imagination.

They cannot fight him.

We must avoid that
potentially disastrous scenario

at all costs.

[grunting]

I defended the gate,
and lost.

Once I lost,
I had to open the gate.



There was nothing else
I could do.

[chuckles]

What you're saying
makes no sense.

A gatekeeper who loses
isn't supposed to open the gate.

When a gatekeeper loses,
it means...

Death.

[grunting]

[gasps]
Ichigo!

[exhales]

You want to tell me just what
the hell you think you're doing?

Yes, Ichigo.
What are you doing?

What's the big idea showing
up now, and trying to butt in?

You stupid fricking ass-clown.

Anyone who's pathetic enough
to make an appearance in order

to attack an unarmed man
deserves to be killed.

[chuckles]
You're sure a funny kid.

And you're not scared of me.

Hell no.

[Yoruichi]
Careful, boy.

You must stop, Ichigo.

It is best
we retreat for now.

Ichigo?

Huh? Why? I'm only just
getting started here.

[Gin]
It's him.

There's no way I'm going
to submit to this guy.

Look, I'll be fine.
So just let me finish this guy off.

[Gin] You must be
Ichigo Kurosaki.

You know about me?

But how could you?

Just as I thought.

How very predictable.

What?

Hey,
where are you going?

Hey, wait!

All the more reason
why I can't let you pass.

So then why are you
standing so far back?

Unless you're planning
on throwing that dagger.

It's not a dagger.

In fact,
this is my Zanpakuto.

[grunting]

Impale him.

Shinzo.

[grunting]

Ichigo!

Ichigo!

No!

The gate!

Bye, bye now.

-[grunting]
-Ichigo, are you all right?

What happened?

[growling]

Look at the gate.

That bastard.

Well, it seems that you are all right.

I'm sorry, guys.

It's all my fault
that the gate closed.

No, don't start
blaming yourself.

Your opponent
was Gin Ichimaru.

It couldn't be helped.

You should just be glad
that you were not hurt.

[grunting]

Would you do me
a favor?

Go over there, and try
to help Jidanbo if you can.

Mm.

Huh?

[indistinct chatter]

Lookie what
we've got here.

They must've been
hiding until now.

But why?

Well, obviously we were
frightening to them.

[Yoruichi] Souls who come
to the Soul Society illegally

without a Soul Reaper escort
are called Rioka,

and are said to be the root
cause of all kinds of trouble.

They must think that
we're their enemies.

[grunts]

[indistinct chatter]

Allow me to
introduce myself.

Huh?

I am the elder of this area,

which is known
as the Rukon District.

All of us witnessed the events
that occurred just now.

And we would all like
to welcome you

as Jidanbo's true saviors.

[Elder] This place is full
of many Soul Reapers

that are rotten
and incorrigible.

But Jidanbo, a native of Rukon district,
is not one of them.

He's always been
so kind to us.

We all witnessed how you
fought against Gin Ichimaru

in order
to save Jidanbo.

You must surely
be a good person.

We can see that.

But still,
what a terrible wound.

Right.

There's no need to worry.

I should be able to heal
Jidanbo's wounds.

[indistinct chatter]

Huh?
You're kidding me.

You really can
heal that wound?

Sure. Just leave it to me.

Shun'o, Ayame.

Hi.

Do you need some help?

Hello.

Could you lend me
your powers?

Of course we will.

As your power, we are here
awaiting your command.

All you have to do is recite
the spirit chant, remember?

[grunts]

Soten Kisshun.

I reject.

[crowd gasping]

[Ichigo]
That's truly amazing.

So when exactly did you get
that power?

[Yuichi] Excuse me.
Please let me through.

Ugh. Move it!
Ugh!

Hey, over here.

It's me. It's Yuichi.
Don't you remember?

Yuichi Shibata?

Right, Yuichi the cockatiel.
You remember now, don't cha?

Uh, Shibata.

[chuckles]

[indistinct chatter]

[Chad] I can tell
you've put on some weight.

[Yuichi]
I have not.

People who have never been here
before always make that mistake.

You only think that because
you knew me as a parakeet.

Here, you don't change at all. You stay
the same as when you first get here.

I see.

Tell me, Yuichi, it's, uh,
what happened with your mother?

Oh.
Here's where I live.

[gasps]

I know it looks
kind of run down.

But that makes it really
cool in the summer.

And my family,
they're all really nice.

What do you mean,
your family?

Yuichi, so you're back.

You know that Mom and Dad
were really worried about you.

I, uh--

Did he say your Mom and Dad?

Uh, it's just, you see, uh,
this is, uh, Hironari Horiuchi.

And I guess he's
like my big brother.

It's nice to meet you.

So he's like your big brother?

-[water rushing]
-[children giggling]

[Hironari] It is often the case
in the Soul Society,

or rather
in the Rukon District,

that people who aren't actually
related to one another by birth

form their own families,
and live together.

People who have died in
different times and places

come to form special bonds.

It's rare for someone
to meet up with a real

family member
who died earlier.

But don't the Soul Reapers
do what they can

to reunite you with your family?

Well, no, not really.

You see, I died in 1947.

It happened in Yamanashi Prefecture,
long before Yuichi died.

You can see by our age
and location that we're far apart.

[grunts]

So that means you really
haven't seen your mother yet?

No.
But I haven't stopped looking for her.

Hey, don't worry about it, kid.

And remember that no matter what,
we're all here for you.

Listen to me.
You mustn't worry.

We were all just like him
when we first got here.

But eventually,
we all change with time.

I won't see
my mom again.

[sobbing]

Uh, excuse me.

Would be all right if I stay
with Yuichi a little longer?

That should be just fine.

In that case, I'll have to go and let
the family know what's going on.

[gong tolls]

I've been meaning to ask
what you're doing here, mister.

You're not dead
or something, are you?

Uh, no.
I'm not dead.

Okay.
Then why are you here?

I'm beginning
to wonder myself.

Hey, look over there
up on that roof.

Isn't that your
Soul Reaper friend?

You know, even if he
goes up higher than that,

he won't be able
to see beyond the gate.

But that won't stop him from looking.

'Cause he just never gives up.

That's the kind of guy he is.
You know what I mean?

[indistinct chatter]

I guess I must have been
right about your age

when I first started
to realize the fact that I was

a lot different than
everyone else. I was right.

Somehow I possessed
this amazing strength.

And that strength was
what made me different.

But I don't understand
this power that I have.

[music playing]

I want to understand.

I have a feeling that coming here
will give me some clues.

I guess that's part of why I came.

But in searching for these answers,

I have had to risk everything.

You must really believe
the risk is worth the reward.

I believe that, Yuichi.

And that's why
you must never give up.

[groans]

If you never give up,
and keep searching,

you will find your mother.

Isn't that so?

Mister...

Right, let's make a promise.

Okay.

Chad?

Hey.

What were you thinking, man?

You gotta at least let me know
when you're behind me like that.

Ichigo, you should know
I'm always gonna have your back.

Huh? [grunts]

[Ichigo]
Are you serious?

You really want us to give up
trying to get past the gate?

[Yoruichi] No.
I don't mean give up completely.

Once the gate has been opened,
it's only logical

that the security on the other side
becomes that much tighter.

Which means that continuing
with the same strategy

is not necessarily
the best approach.

I have to agree with you on that.

So then what about the other gates?

There won't be much difference
from what we faced with this one.

Well, in that case,
then what the hell are we gonna do?

Well, isn't it obvious?
If we cannot use the gate,

then naturally we must
enter another way.

[groans]

Elder, do you know
the whereabouts of Kukaku Shiba?

What?

You can't be serious.

As you may know,
she is someone

who likes to change
her place of residence.

I haven't been able to find out
where she currently lives.

[groans] Kukaku Shiba!

[rumbling]

Are you sure?

Don't tell me you're planning
to go through the wall like that.

Uh, like what?

[rumbling]

Huh? What's that noise?

Sounds like a stampede.

[rumbling]

Whoa!

-[screaming]
-What's happening?

[grunting]

-[Ichigo] Anyone know who this guy is?
-[snorts]

Huh?

Are you kidding?

What in the-
what's a boar doing here?

[groans]

Well, well, well.

Thrown again by old Bonnie.

There's gotta be
a better way to travel.

Hey. It's been a long time,
old man.

Konju, no.

What are you doing here?

I think you should go home.

What gives?

Look, I know
it's been a while,

but is that any way
to greet an old friend?

I mean, what are your
guests here going to think?

Huh?

What do we have here?

Would someone explain to me why
there's a stinking Soul Reaper here?

What did you just say?

What's the matter,
your ears not working?

What I said was,
would someone explain to me

why there's a stinking
Soul Reaper here.

Huh?

Huh?

Well, then say something,
you sniveling dandelion.

[grunting]

Hey! Just what are you
trying to do?

Are you picking
a fight with me?

You started it, pig straddler.

You walked in,
and picked on me for no reason.

What kind of a moron are you?

[Ganju]
Moron?

What should we do about this?
We've got to stop those two.

Quite a mess.
This is just as I expected.

Come on! This is not time
to sit there drinking tea.

Just tell us who the guy is.

Are you kidding me?

You really don't know who I am?

-No, I don't.
-Me neither.

-No.
-I don't want to know.

Heh.
Then that settles it.

Let me introduce myself.

My given name is Ganju,

the self-proclaimed
Deep-Red Bullet of West Rukon,

and self-proclaimed,
but universally

acknowledged boss man of West Rukon.

And finally...

The self-proclaimed number one
Soul Reaper hater of West Rukon.

[in unison]
Self-proclaimed?

Ha.

You forgot to add
self-proclaimed fool.

Say what?

You heard me.

[yelling]

[grunting]

-Ichigo!
-No, Ichigo!

MAN: Hold it right there.
We won't let you get in the way.

But look,
if you really wanna fight someone...

We will be happy to oblige you.

Ganju's henchmen.

What do we do now?

See that?

[Orihime, Chad & Uryu]
They're all riding on boars.

Get out of here while you still can.
Now listen.

As long as I'm alive,
no Soul Reaper

will ever be allowed to step
one stinking foot inside West--

[grunting]

Boss man!

Shut up.

Give it a rest,
why don't you?

Look, if you wanna fight,
then I'll fight ya.

[groans] Why you!

You punched my ruggedly
handsome face.

Not once, but twice.

Actually, the second time around,
it was a kick, you idiot.

That's enough fighting, Ichigo.

You should not be
using up your strength

in a meaningless brawl.

Hey, don't forget
he started the fight.

So if you want this to stop,
then tell him.

[grunts] Getting all worked up
over such a silly thing, the fool!

The way I see things,
you and me are destined to fight.

We don't have a choice
in the matter.

[clicks]

Stop this fighting, Ganju!

Can't you see this man
is a good Soul Reaper?

That's enough.

Look, Soul Reapers
are Soul Reapers.

To me,
there is no good or bad.

You're wrong, Ganju.

Now get ready.

Not good.

How does Ichigo expect to handle him
without his Zanpakuto?

[gasps]

[grunts]

I got it.
Thanks, Chad!

[grunts]

Very impressive.

I was wondering
when you'd use your Zanpakuto.

However...

[grunts]

...don't think that you can win this,

just because you wield
a bigger weapon. [grunts]

[chuckling]

[grunting]

Sink!

[gasps] The ground is gone.
It's like quicksand.

Just hang in there, Ichigo.

[grunts]

[grunts]

Using weird tricks
won't help you win.

[yelling]

[grunting]

All I can say is,
if that didn't drop you,

then you are
one tough warrior.

[grunting]

[grunting]

What's the matter?

It's not over yet.

[yelling]

-[clock ringing]
-[grunting]

What time is it now?

It's 9:00 already, boss man!

This is gonna be bad.

What? Nine o'clock?
Come on. We gotta go, Bonnie.

[whistling]

[rumbling]

Bonnie?

[music playing]

[singing in Japanese]

In the next episode,
we go to Kukaku Shiba's unique house,

located somewhere
in West Rukon.

So what's the secret
to this gorgeous wooden

structure surrounded
by open lands?

Well, I guess you'll just have to
wait and see.

[Ichigo] So these are natural
wood pillars, huh?
