86. Poor Ichigo... He's so popular.Copy !req
87. But I sort of envy him.Copy !req
88. I can sense their presence,
but I rarely see anything.Copy !req
89. Well, I don't believe
in ghosts and stuff.Copy !req
90. What? But you see them too,
don't you, Karin?Copy !req
91. Dad's the only one

101. Why?Copy !req
102. Ichigo's having
a tough time right now.Copy !req
103. Now that you mention it,Copy !req
104. he said he's seeing
more of them than before.Copy !req
105. What? You mean he talks to you
about things like that?Copy !req
106. He doesn't tell me...Copy !req
107. Of course not.Copy !req
108. You're over 40,Copy !req
109. and your communication skills
are immature.Copy !req
110. Who'd want to tell you anything?Copy !req
111. Oh, Mother!Copy !req
112. I don't know if it's because
they're going through puberty,Copy !req
113. but our daughters have been

He won't be home tonight.Copy !req
130. I see... Huh?Copy !req
131. Investigators and
explosives expertsCopy !req
132. are currently working
to discover the cause.Copy !req
133. What's wrong?Copy !req
134. That's near here.Copy !req
135. Hey!Copy !req
136. Hm?Copy !req
137. What was that sound?Copy !req
138. I didn't hear anything...Copy !req
139. It's another explosion!Copy !req
140. W-What is that?Copy !req
141. Ichigo!Copy !req
142. Run!Copy !req
143. What is it?Copy !req
144. I don't know!Copy !req
145. Hey! Hurry!Copy !req
146. H-Hey...Copy !req
147. Hey, you?Copy !req
148. What was that?Copy !req
149. Another explosion?Copy !req
150. What's going on?Copy !req
151. I can't figure it out...Copy !req
152. Who was that?Copy !req
153. Who... are you?Copy !req
154. Who are you?
What do you want?Copy !req
155. Hey!Copy !req
156. It's near...Copy !req
157. What are you talking about, idiot?Copy !req
158. First you scare
the living daylights out of me,Copy !req
159. then you ignore me?Copy !req
160. I'm asking you who you are!Copy !req
161. Y-You... You can see me?Copy !req
162. But wait... you just kicked me...Copy !req
163. Huh? What are you babbling about?Copy !req
164. Of course, I can see you.Copy !req
165. You were the one
in town earlier, weren't you?Copy !req
166. You just noticed?Copy !req
167. Strange...
People usually can't see me...Copy !req
168. Quit talking nonsense...Copy !req
169. Why, you!Copy !req
170. All right, I will tell you.Copy !req
171. I am... a Soul Reaper.Copy !req
172. Again... Where is it?Copy !req
173. I see.
So you're a Soul Reaper...Copy !req
174. And you've come all the way here
from this Soul Society placeCopy !req
175. in order to exorcise evil demons.Copy !req
176. So that means that
that monster was a demon...Copy !req
177. and it attacked that girl.Copy !req
178. Okay, I'll believe you...Copy !req
179. Idiot! You think I'd believe that?Copy !req
180. You're saying that,
even though you can see ghosts,Copy !req
181. you don't believe in Soul Reapers?Copy !req
182. Of course!Copy !req
183. Unfortunately, I've never seen
a Soul Reaper before.Copy !req
184. I don't believe in
anything that I can't see.Copy !req
185. But you see me now.Copy !req
186. I'll admit that you're no human.Copy !req
187. But quit playing "Soul Reaper"
around here.Copy !req
188. Got that? You brat!Copy !req
189. You dare to call me that?Copy !req
190. Bakudo Number One: Sai!Copy !req
191. Ouch! What did you do to me?Copy !req
192. You can't move, can you?Copy !req
193. This is Kido,Copy !req
194. a high-level incantation that
only a Soul Reaper can use.Copy !req
195. I may not look it, but I have lived
nearly ten times longer than you.Copy !req
196. And you called me a brat!Copy !req
197. In any other situation,
I would kill you on the spot,Copy !req
198. but I am not permitted to execute
anyone not named in my orders.Copy !req
199. Be grateful for that, you brat.Copy !req
200. Of all the nerve!Copy !req
201. And so...Copy !req
202. Oh...Copy !req
203. Y-You're the guy from yesterday...Copy !req
204. N-No...
I don't want to go to hell!Copy !req
205. Fear not.
Your destination is not hell.Copy !req
206. It is the Soul Society.Copy !req
207. Unlike hell,
it is a peaceful place.Copy !req
208. What happened... to that guy?Copy !req
209. I sent him to the Soul Society.Copy !req
210. In your language it's called
"passing over," I guess.Copy !req
211. It's one of the jobs
of Soul Reapers.Copy !req
212. I will explain it simplyCopy !req
213. so that even an impatient brat
like you can be satisfied.Copy !req
214. Now listen...Copy !req
215. There are two types of spirits
in this world.Copy !req
216. WHOLES
GOOD GHOSTS
The first are normal spirits
called Wholes...Copy !req
217. WHOLES
GOOD GHOSTSCopy !req
218. WHOLES

They're the ghosts you usually see.Copy !req
219. WHOLES

220. HOLLOWS

221. HOLLOWS
BAD GHOSTS
The second are called Hollows.Copy !req
222. HOLLOWS

223. HOLLOWS
BAD GHOSTS
They attack people, living or dead,
to devour their souls.Copy !req
224. HOLLOWS
BAD GHOSTSCopy !req
225. HOLLOWS
BAD GHOSTS
In other words,
they are evil spirits.Copy !req
226. In other words,
they are evil spirits.Copy !req
227. Do you have any questions so far?Copy !req
228. Well... first off, tell me why
your drawings are so bad.Copy !req
229. Hey!Copy !req
230. What the hell did you do?Copy !req
231. I will continue
my explanation, Baron.Copy !req
232. Baron?Copy !req
233. We Soul Reapers have two jobs.Copy !req
234. The first is to lead the Wholes
to the Soul SocietyCopy !req
235. with a sendoff, Konso,
as I just did.Copy !req
236. And the second is to cut
and purify the Hollows.Copy !req
237. Why was that Hollow
going after that girl?Copy !req
238. That I do not know.Copy !req
239. We have yet to grasp
everything about them.Copy !req
240. I smell it...Copy !req
241. It's the smell of
an especially tasty soul.Copy !req
242. It's nearby... along with
the smell of a Soul Reaper.Copy !req
243. Hey! What was that?Copy !req
244. Whatever the case,Copy !req
245. there's another one
wandering around here.Copy !req
246. Then, hurry up and get rid of it!Copy !req
247. No, well...Copy !req
248. For some reason, I haven't been
able to sense its presence at all.Copy !req
249. It's as though some strong force
is obstructing my senses.Copy !req
250. What are you saying?
Can't you hear the terrible cries?Copy !req
251. Isn't that the Hollow you're after?Copy !req
252. Terrible cries? I don't...Copy !req
253. I heard that!Copy !req
254. That's definitely
the cry of a Hollow!Copy !req
255. See?Copy !req
256. Yuzu!Copy !req
257. Hey, wait!Copy !req
258. Such strong spiritual pressure!
How could I not have sensed this?Copy !req
259. I...Copy !req
260. Ichi... go...Copy !req
261. Yuzu!Copy !req
262. Karin was...Copy !req
263. Ichigo...Copy !req
264. Please save... Karin...Copy !req
265. Hey, you!Copy !req
266. Hey!Copy !req
267. Damn it!Copy !req
268. Stop it! Stop... it!Copy !req
269. Stay back!Copy !req
270. Karin!Copy !req
271. Damn it!Copy !req
272. He's moving...
even after I put that Kido on him!Copy !req
273. You'll get in the way!
Stay back!Copy !req
274. Shut up!Copy !req
275. Karin!Copy !req
276. Stop! No human strength
can break it.Copy !req
277. If you try to force it,
your soul will...Copy !req
278. A human breaking the spell
with his own power?Copy !req
279. Wait!Copy !req
280. Ichigo! Run!Copy !req
281. Karin!Copy !req
282. I found you.Copy !req
283. Karin! Hey!Copy !req
284. Do not panic!Copy !req
285. That Hollow has not devoured
your sister's soul yet.Copy !req
286. Are you sure?Copy !req
287. Yes...Copy !req
288. It is seeking a soul with a higher
concentration of spirit energy.Copy !req
289. I see. That Hollow this afternoon
wasn't after that girl, either.Copy !req
290. What do you mean?Copy !req
291. For some reason,Copy !req
292. your spirit energy was
almost completely suppressedCopy !req
293. until just now.Copy !req
294. That's why I didn't sense
anything from you,Copy !req
295. and you were never attacked
by a Hollow.Copy !req
296. It's just conjecture,Copy !req
297. but perhaps the spirit energy that
was sealed up within your body...Copy !req
298. began to pour out due to
the contact you hadCopy !req
299. with the ghost of that young girl.Copy !req
300. In other words,Copy !req
301. those two Hollows sensed
the density of your soulCopy !req
302. through that girl.Copy !req
303. They are really after you!Copy !req
304. They're... after me...Copy !req
305. It's here! You stay...Copy !req
306. Shut up!Copy !req
307. Are you saying that girl was
attacked because of me?Copy !req
308. What are you talking about?Copy !req
309. Is it my fault that Karin and
Yuzu's lives are in danger?Copy !req
310. Please save...Copy !req
311. Ichigo... Run!Copy !req
312. Hey!Copy !req
313. You want my soul, don't you?Copy !req
314. In that case,
come fight me one on one!Copy !req
315. Soul Reaper!Copy !req
316. You fool!Copy !req
317. You should have known...
that you were no match for him!Copy !req
318. Or, did you think that
everything would be overCopy !req
319. if you gave him your soul?Copy !req
320. At this rate, we will all
simply become food for him.Copy !req
321. Do you want... to save your family?Copy !req
322. Of course! Is there a way?Copy !req
323. There's just one way...Copy !req
324. You must become a Soul Reaper!Copy !req
325. What?Copy !req
326. Run the point of this Zanpakuto
through the center of your beingCopy !req
327. and I will pour my powers into you.Copy !req
328. I don't know if it will work,Copy !req
329. but there is nothing else
we can do.Copy !req
330. Give me that sword, Soul Reaper.Copy !req
331. My name is not "Soul Reaper."
I am Rukia Kuchiki.Copy !req
332. I'm...Copy !req
333. Ichigo Kurosaki!Copy !req
334. How could it be?Copy !req
335. I meant to only give him
half of my spirit energy,Copy !req
336. but he took it all...Copy !req
337. Hey!Copy !req
338. Who is he?Copy !req
339. I have never seen a human
with enough spirit energy...Copy !req
340. to confuse a Soul Reaper.Copy !req
341. I have never seen a human
with strength enoughCopy !req
342. to break a spell on his own...Copy !req
343. And... I've never seen
a Soul Reaper's Zanpakuto...Copy !req
344. become so large!Copy !req
345. You're gonna pay
for hurting my family!Copy !req
346. You fish-face!Copy !req
