Bleach: Burîchi (2004–2012): Season 3, Episode 21 - Shûketsu seyo! Saikyô no Shinigami gundan - full transcript

ICHIGO KUROSAKI:
Ever since the powers
of the Soul Reaper

were thrust upon me,
my whole world has changed.

Now I'm Ichigo Kurosaki,
substitute Soul Reaper.

And I'm combining
my powerful spirit energy

with this blade in order
to protect my friends!

[♪♪♪]

AIZEN:
It's been quite a while since
the last time I saw your face.

What's brought about
the change of heart, Sajin?

Has something happened?

Aizen.

How dare you stand there
and smile like that, Aizen!



You betrayed everybody.

Every one of us!

You will not be forgiven.

Nor will you!

SAJIN: Kaname!

[♪♪♪]

[GRUNTING]

I-- I beg your pardon.

I didn't think anyone was here.

SAJIN: Over here.
Huh?

That's odd.

My apologies.

I wasn't able to
sense you over there.

I'm Kaname Tosen.
Pleased to meet you.



I have to say, you're extremely
good at masking your presence.

You can see I'm blind,
but there was never

a time I couldn't sense
the presence of another.

Sajin?

Is that Sajin Komamura?

It's been quite a
while, hasn't it?

I see.

You joined
the 13 court guard squads.

Have you ever
considered becoming

a member of my squad, Sajin?

I have a great commander.

He'd appreciate you.

You're Sajin Komamura?
Kaname has spoken of you.

Hm?

It's a pleasure to meet you.
I'm Sosuke Aizen.

I'm the lieutenant of squad 5.

[IN MIND]
I'm curious.

Why was it that you
became a Soul Reaper?

SAJIN:
To repay a debt of gratitude

toward the one
who saved my life.

Sounds like you.

A debt of gratitude.

SAJIN:
And what about you, Kaname?

KANAME: Me?

Well, I...

[SCREAMING]

[GROWLING]

SAJIN: Kaname!

If you've got an explanation,
I need to hear it now!

SAJIN:
That's it? Nothing?

Too bad, Kaname.

Bankai!

[CHUCKLES]

[IN HEAD]
Impossible.

He should be by Kaname's side.

Hado number 90.

AIZEN:
Kurohitsugi.

[IN HEAD]
In this battle
between two captains,

I can't believe
I could be so helpless.

Kyoka Suigetsu's complete
hypnosis is flawless,

but even if there
were a flaw,

it would be impossible
to escape it.

So, that's
unspoken Hado 90.

Pretty scary stuff.

I take it you mastered
that little attack

when I wasn't looking.

No, it was a failure.

What you saw
was only about 1/3

of its
true destructive potential.

Number 90
is difficult to control.

Now then...

Oh, sorry.

I hadn't finished explaining
things to you, had I?

URYU: Ichigo!

ICHIGO:
No! Go away!

[ALL GASP]

[♪♪♪]

Rukia!

Oh, no, no.

You shouldn't be moving.

[ALL GRUNTING]

Orihime. Uryu. Damn.

What incredible
spiritual pressure.

Now, Rukia Kuchiki.

After I found you
in the world of the living,

do you know what the
first thing I did was?

I went in and eliminated
the Central 46.

I imagine you've heard
a somewhat different story

from Isane.

She probably told you
Sosuke Aizen faked his death

and hid his whereabouts.

Afterwards,
he slaughtered Central 46.

But that's not how
it happened at all.

I killed them as soon
as I discovered you,

then used my Kyoka Suigetsu

on the entire central
underground assembly hall.

To simplify matters, I made
it look as if Central 46

was still alive
and holding meetings.

In order to do that,
one of us remained

in the underground
assembly hall at all times.

Since then, we have taken over
the functions of Central 46,

and we have been issuing
all of their orders.

To make sure of your arrest,

I had those members
of squad 6 take you in.

To separate you
from the humans,

I ordered the return and
destruction of your gigai.

To evaporate your soul and take
the hogyoku from inside you,

I decided
the simplest way would be

to have you executed
with the Sokyoku.

The only time we weren't in
the underground assembly hall

was the few hours surrounding
the two captains' meetings.

After that, I pretended
to die and hid underground.

Because I knew your Ryoka
friends might save you.

I knew the execution might fail.

[ALL GRUNTING]

When a foreign object has been
planted directly into a soul,

there are only two methods
by which to remove it.

You can use an intense thermal
disruption, like the Sokyoku,

which evaporates
the soul around the object...

or some other method which
breaks down the soul's cohesion

and allows them
to be separated.

In the unlikely event the
execution by Sokyoku failed,

I needed to find
that other method,

which takes us back
to Central 46.

You see, the
information I needed

could only be found in the
underground assembly hall's

Darai Shokairo.

I spent endless hours pouring
over Kisuke Urahara's research.

He was the one who developed
the technique of implanting

a foreign object into a soul.

So, I reasoned that the answer
to the question

of how to remove one
was also hidden in his research.

Yes.

This is that answer.

No!

[AIKEN PENETRATES HAND;
RUKIA GRUNTS]

[GRUNTS]

How fascinating.

I didn't expect
it to be so small.

The hogyoku.

Huh.

And no permanent
harm to the soul.

What an astounding technique.

It's too bad, but I just don't
have a use for you anymore.

Kill her, Gin.

[ALL GRUNTING]

Well, if I must.

GIN:
Shoot to kill, Shinso.

Huh?

[GASPING]

Oh, no. Brother.

Byakuya!

Byakuya, why?

Why did you protect me?

Hm?

Let's go, Jidanbo!

JIDANBO:
All right!

Bones of beasts
scattered far and wide!

Stapled crimson crystals,
steel wheels!

Wind in action,
and the sky at rest.

The sound of flying arrows.

Hado 63!

Raikoho!

Kukaku!

And Jidanbo!

This is another face I haven't
seen for quite some time.

Don't do it. If you even move
so much as a muscle--

Then we're going
to cut off your head.

Yes, I can see that.

Kukaku.

Hey, Yoruichi.

I had a little free
time on my hands.

So since I was out,
I thought I'd check in.

Well, that sure was flashy.

What should I do?

You shouldn't even move.

Sorry,
Captain Aizen.

I got caught.

Hm.

This is the end.

What?
Did you say something?

Don't you understand,
Aizen?

There is no place left
for you.

No place you can escape to.

Sosuke.

Captain Aizen, how could you?

YORUICHI:
It's over, Aizen.

Heh.

And just what's so funny?

I'm sorry to do this,
but the time has come.

SuiFeng,
get away from him!

That's not--
It's impossible!

It's Menos Grande.

The Gillians?

How many of them
are coming through?

No, wait.

It looks like there's
something else in there.

Well, that's
a bit of a letdown.

I was enjoying that.

I wouldn't have minded being
your captive a little longer.

So long, Rangiku.

Maybe next time.

You're just going to run away?
That's it?

Stop!
Head captain, sir!

That light is a weapon
with the name of Negacion.

It's a technique
the Menos use when

they are rescuing
their fellow Hollows.

Once enveloped by that light,
it is impossible

for those within
and without to interact.

It is an isolated
world inside the beams.

All those who have fought
the Menos know it well.

From the moment that light
fell on Sosuke Aizen,

it became completely
impossible for us to reach him.

[GRUNTS IN FRUSTRATION]

Kaname!

Come back, Kaname!

Have you forgotten?

You once told me why you
became a Soul Reaper!

Wasn't it for your friend
who lost their life?

Wasn't it to carry
out your justice?

Where is your sense
of justice now?

Because I don't see it.

I thought I'd made
it clear to you.

My eyes can only see
one path, and that

is the path with
the least amount blood.

Justice is always there.

And the path
I follow is justice.

[SCOFFS]

Kaname.

You've joined
with the Menos.

Why would you want to do that?

I need
to keep reaching higher.

Have you become that corrupt?
Have you?

You're blinded
by your self righteousness.

From the beginning, no one
has ever stood at the top.

Neither you,
nor me, nor the gods.

But soon, that unattainable
vacancy at the top

will be filled.

From now on...

I alone will stand at the top.

Goodbye, Soul Reapers.

And goodbye,

Ryoka boy.

Even I have to admit
that for a human,

you were quite amusing.

IEMURA: Groups 2 and 3 care
for Captain Kuchiki!

Groups 7, 10, 11 and 13 all
help to heal Captain Komamura!

Lieutenant Abari is to
receive level six surgery.

Group 8 and 9,
prepare to move out. Let's go!

Come on, let's
move it, everyone!

These people are
seriously injured!

MAN: Over here! Hurry!
Over here!

Byakuya!
Byakuya!

Just stay back.
He's not healed yet.

I'm all right.

Go take care of the others.

Careful,
Captain Komamura.

That's good.
Slowly, now.

MAN: Excuse me.
Third Seat Iemura,

where would you
like us to start?

I want you to go and assist
in the healing of those Ryoka.

BOTH: Huh?

Sir, but shouldn't we--

You have been made aware of
their status, haven't you?

They are the saviors
of the Soul Society. Go.

BOTH:
Yes, sir.

That Ryoka woman.

She's intriguing.

Her healing spell.

Excellent!

Captain Unohana, any
change in the condition

of Captain Hitsugaya
and Lieutenant Hinamori?

All I have to report is
that they have escaped death.

From here on out, their
fate is in their own hands.

As for all the others,
Isane is handling them.

So, what's the status here?

Right. There's Captain Kuchiki
and the young Ryoka.

From what I can see,
it doesn't seem

as if we need
to help the Ryoka.

Oh?
As you wish.

Oh, Captain Kuchiki.

You were very reckless.

UNOHANA:
Rukia Kuchiki, come here.

Captain Kuchiki wants
you by his side.

Rukia, are you there?

Yes. I'm right here.

There's something that's been
weighing heavily on my heart.

An old story from 50 years ago.

In that year, I lost my wife.

Before the first plum
blossoms bloomed.

RUKIA:
I know. Lady Hisana.

People were always telling me
that I looked like your wife.

That's why
you took a liking to me

and welcomed me into the
family as your younger sister.

Yes, Rukia.

I had instructed everyone in
the household to tell you that.

But it was a lie.

Huh?

Hisana was your older sister.

Hisana told me that she'd died

in the world of the living,

and was sent with you
to Hanging Dog.

Making a life was
so very difficult there.

Even though you
were just a baby,

she left you and ran away.

Hisana suffered
terribly for that.

Even after
she became my wife,

she searched for you
practically every day.

[GRUNTS]

Then, in our fifth
year together...

HISANA: Byakuya, will you search
for my younger sister?

And when you find her,
you must not

tell her that
I'm her older sister. Please.

BYAKUYA:
Save your strength.
Don't talk anymore.

HISANA: Please.
Don't let her know the truth.

Just promise me you'll protect
her with all your strength.

I abandoned
my younger sister.

Hisana.

I don't deserve to ever hear
her call me her older sister.

But I would like her
to have someone.

So I want her to be able to
call you her older brother.

BYAKUYA:
A plum blossom opened. Look.

HISANA:
I'm so sorry.

I've been
such a burden to you.

I'm sorry I couldn't repay
the love you gave me.

These past five years
that we've spent together

have been like a wonderful,
beautiful dream.

Byakuya.

BYAKUYA: I found you
the following year.

I immediately welcomed
you into the family.

It was
the same as with Hisana.

The household objected,

saying to allow someone
from the Rukon district

into a noble home
was against the law,

and would tarnish
the Kuchiki family name.

I didn't care.
I defied everyone.

I'd given my word,
and I was willing

to sacrifice anything
for that.

But it was true that
I'd gone against the law.

I made a vow in front
of my parents' grave

in order to admonish myself.

I vowed that
this would be the last time

I ever broke a law.

From then on, no matter what,
I would follow the law.

I was so intent on running
away from Hisana's memory,

that I swore two vows
I should not have made.

When you were
sentenced to death,

I didn't know what to do.

My vow to my parents
to protect the law,

and my promise to Hisana to
protect her younger sister.

I didn't know which
of the vows to keep.

[♪♪♪]

How could we expect
to defend our laws

if we were not
even willing to follow them?

Well, if I were
in your position,

I'd fight that law with
every bit of strength I had!

BYAKUYA:
Ichigo Kurosaki, I thank you.

BYAKUYA: Rukia.

I'm sorry.

[RUKIA SOBBING]

[♪♪♪]

ICHIGO: Yoruichi, you let me
borrow all kinds of tools,

but I don't know
where you keep 'em.

YORUICHI:
My other form is a cat.

Not many people know this,
but we cats are marsupials.

I've got this pocket that I can
fit pretty much anything in.

Wow!
So that's it!

You're not too bright,
are you?

Jinta, where are you?

Really, skipping out
on his responsibilities.

Where did that boy go?

Jinta, where are you?

[SPARKS]
Oh, no!

[BOTH SCREAMING]

That is not...

right!

[BOTH SCREAMING]

It's not finished.
