1. Raise your eyes you can see
shooting stars up in the night sky
Copy !req
2. Raise your eyes you can see
shooting stars up in the night sky
Copy !req
3. One, two...
Copy !req
4. The sound resonates
Into my heart, so hard and deep
Copy !req
5. A field of stars spans endlessly
And through it I carve a passageway
Copy !req
6. In step with time
as generations change
Copy !req
7. Close your eyes and listen closely
Copy !req
8. Shooting stars stream on silently...
until the goodbye
Copy !req
9. Keep the light inside of you,
never give up don't ever lose
Copy !req
10. Transcend time and you will prove,
there is a special place for you
Copy !req
11. A blaze of glory is there,
Copy !req
12. It's all a part of our estate;
life is our story to create
Copy !req
13. Raise your eyes you can see
shooting stars up in the night sky
Copy !req
14. Wishes speak from ages old
by voice of light
Copy !req
15. Throughout the age,
never fade away
Copy !req
16. A secret fire, a scream of light,
voices calling through twilight
Copy !req
17. Cast your thoughts to the wind,
hang your wishes on the moon
Copy !req
18. Live your life with
all your strength
Copy !req
19. for dreams will
reach you very soon
Copy !req
20. Raise your eyes you can see
shooting stars up in the night sky
Copy !req
21. Wishes speak from ages old
by voice of light
Copy !req
22. Throughout the age,
never fade away
Copy !req
23. Someday your dream will find
its place somewhere
Copy !req
24. Keep shining like a star
Copy !req
25. Rukia Kuchiki is guilty of
a first-degree offense
Copy !req
26. and will be executed in 25 days
at the Central Execution Grounds.
Copy !req
27. That is the final decision
of the Soul Society.
Copy !req
28. You were very calm,
Captain of Squad 6.
Copy !req
29. Well done, well done.
Copy !req
30. Such calm in the wake
of your sister's execution...
Copy !req
31. You are indeed a role model
for Soul Reapers, Captain.
Copy !req
32. Don't be ridiculous.
Copy !req
33. You and the Captain of Squad 9 are
probably the only Soul Reapers
Copy !req
34. who would fret over dying.
Copy !req
35. You think so?
Copy !req
36. Now what would two Captains
without their lieutenants want with me?
Copy !req
37. Oh, we were just... concerned that
the Captain of Squad 6
Copy !req
38. would be feeling low because
his sister was about to be executed.
Copy !req
39. Our family lineage is
none of your concern.
Copy !req
40. So you're not upset, right?
Copy !req
41. Criminals are such
a nuisance to nobles.
Copy !req
42. My, my... how unusual for a commoner
Copy !req
43. to understand
the subtleties of the nobility.
Copy !req
44. Not really. I've always been
the sensitive since I was a kid.
Copy !req
45. How about this?
Copy !req
46. Just to show my sensitivity,
Copy !req
47. I'd even offer to chop off
the criminal's head,
Copy !req
48. before their execution day.
Copy !req
49. I wasn't aware that at your present level
you could fell a person's head.
Copy !req
50. Want to try me?
Copy !req
51. You want to?
Copy !req
52. - Forgive us, Captain of Squad 6.
- Hey! Ichimaru!
Copy !req
53. - I never intended to offend you in any way.
- Let go! Why you—!
Copy !req
54. We'll be going now.
My regards to your sister.
Copy !req
55. H-Hey!
Copy !req
56. Whoa! You're all right, Tessai!
I mean, Mr. Tessai.
Copy !req
57. I'm not all right!
Copy !req
58. My glasses are in terrible shape!
Copy !req
59. But you're okay, right?
Copy !req
60. Oh well, keep those glasses
on even if they're cracked.
Copy !req
61. The Boss drew his sword,
and it's getting very interesting.
Copy !req
62. It would be a pity to miss this.
Copy !req
63. Not bad, even with that
wisp of a sword!
Copy !req
64. Oh, you flatter me!
Copy !req
65. But that doesn't mean
I'll go easy!
Copy !req
66. Fine with me! Damn it!
Copy !req
67. Hey! Wait a minute!
Hold on a minute!
Copy !req
68. I thought the Zanpakuto was
the only sword
Copy !req
69. that could kill Soul Reapers
and Hollows.
Copy !req
70. He pulled that sword from his cane.
It can't be a Zanpakuto.
Copy !req
71. Then even if he did get me,
it wouldn't hurt me—!
Copy !req
72. You let down your guard.
Copy !req
73. "He's not a Soul Reaper,
so it can't be a Zanpakuto."
Copy !req
74. "So I can't get hurt even
if he cuts me." Right?
Copy !req
75. You are so naïve.
Copy !req
76. Wake up!
Copy !req
77. Benihime...
Copy !req
78. This is a real and
authentic Zanpakuto.
Copy !req
79. Wake up, Benihime!
Copy !req
80. Roar, Zabimaru!
Copy !req
81. I knew it. You don't even
know your Zanpakuto's name.
Copy !req
82. The Zanpakuto's... name?
Copy !req
83. Yes...
Copy !req
84. Each Zanpakuto has a name.
Copy !req
85. And this is... her name.
Copy !req
86. Let's go...
Copy !req
87. Benihime!
Copy !req
88. I compliment you
for not running away
Copy !req
89. and countering my sword
with that broken one.
Copy !req
90. That's some courage.
Copy !req
91. However...
Copy !req
92. Benihime isn't so kind that she'd
let a sword like that stop her.
Copy !req
93. Damn it!
Copy !req
94. No way! No way can that be!
Copy !req
95. He cut my Zanpakuto!
Copy !req
96. Weren't you told?
Copy !req
97. Your sword's just big.
That's all.
Copy !req
98. There's no concentration of
spiritual energy in it.
Copy !req
99. It's just distended
and holds its shape.
Copy !req
100. That's why I can...
Copy !req
101. cut it easily like that.
Copy !req
102. Now you don't have a sword.
Copy !req
103. Will you still attack me with that?
Copy !req
104. C'mon, you just have
to knock my hat off.
Copy !req
105. You can do it with that hilt.
Copy !req
106. However, it won't be just
courage or guts that's necessary.
Copy !req
107. Let me just warn you...
Copy !req
108. If you still intend to fight me
with that toy...
Copy !req
109. I will kill you!
Copy !req
110. Huh?
Copy !req
111. I'm gonna die!
I'll really be killed!
Copy !req
112. Pathetic!
Copy !req
113. What am I?
Copy !req
114. Why am I running?
Copy !req
115. Is that all I am?
Copy !req
116. Is that the extent of
my determination?
Copy !req
117. Disgusting!
Copy !req
118. I'm disgusted with myself!
Copy !req
119. I'm so...
Copy !req
120. - helpless!
- You are so... helpless.
Copy !req
121. Mister...
Copy !req
122. Why do you run, Ichigo?
Copy !req
123. You haven't called me yet.
Copy !req
124. Look ahead, Ichigo.
Copy !req
125. You should be able to hear it now.
Copy !req
126. Fear is the only thing
that's making you shut your ears.
Copy !req
127. There is only one enemy,
and only one you.
Copy !req
128. What is there to fear?
Copy !req
129. Hey, what's going on?
Both of them stopped.
Copy !req
130. Abandon your fears!
Copy !req
131. Look ahead!
Copy !req
132. Go forward!
Copy !req
133. Never stop!
Copy !req
134. If you retreat,
you'll only grow old.
Copy !req
135. If you fear, you will die!
Copy !req
136. Call it out! My name is!
Copy !req
137. Zangetsu!
Copy !req
138. W-What was that?
Copy !req
139. What's with that the Zanpakuto?
There's no hilt or guard.
Copy !req
140. It's not even shaped
like a proper sword!
Copy !req
141. The other one was better!
Copy !req
142. Well now...
Copy !req
143. Now that you have your Zanpakuto,
Copy !req
144. shall we start
Lesson Three in earnest?
Copy !req
145. Sorry, Mr. Urahara...
Copy !req
146. Be sure to dodge it completely...
Copy !req
147. What?
Copy !req
148. I don't think...
Copy !req
149. I have it mastered yet!
Copy !req
150. Wake up, Benihime!
Copy !req
151. Without this Blood Shield...
Copy !req
152. I would have lost an arm.
Copy !req
153. Oh boy...
Copy !req
154. My hat's torn, too.
Copy !req
155. But...
Copy !req
156. I didn't think you'd do it in
Copy !req
157. one swing...
Copy !req
158. Mr. Kurosaki...
Copy !req
159. You are one dreadful child.
Copy !req
160. Lesson Three has been cleared!
Copy !req
161. All right. It's complete.
Copy !req
162. Thank you, Sensei.
Copy !req
163. You did it!
Copy !req
164. Terrific, Sado! You did it! Great!
Copy !req
165. You idiot!
Copy !req
166. Know your limits!
Copy !req
167. Look at the panic you've caused!
Copy !req
168. Now run away from the back.
Copy !req
169. All right!
Copy !req
170. But that was unexpected...
Copy !req
171. how they could awaken
their powers in such a short time...
Copy !req
172. Sado has fallen down the stairs!
Copy !req
173. What's going on?
Copy !req
174. Aug 1, 6:30PM
Copy !req
175. Aug 1, 6:30PM
After completing my training
at Urahara's Shop,
Copy !req
176. Aug 1, 6:30PM
Copy !req
177. Aug 1, 6:30PM
I was told to stay at home while
Copy !req
178. I was told to stay at home while
Copy !req
179. they prepare to open the gate
to the Soul Society, but...
Copy !req
180. And here we are at
the long-awaited Fireworks Festival!
Copy !req
181. You're so excited.
Copy !req
182. Of course! How can you not be?
Copy !req
183. Right, everyone?
Copy !req
184. Absolutely, young lad!
Copy !req
185. Not only that, I have special seats that
I've saved since seven this morning!
Copy !req
186. Shall we go over there?
Copy !req
187. No kidding! Right on!
Copy !req
188. Terrific!
Sometimes you're useful!
Copy !req
189. And how about you
cute ladies over there?
Copy !req
190. We'll be there later.
Copy !req
191. All right!
Copy !req
192. Let's all go!
Copy !req
193. Let's go!
Copy !req
194. Oh well... I guess I'll join them.
Copy !req
195. Sorry it's always like this,
Tatsuki.
Copy !req
196. You don't have to come
if you don't want to.
Copy !req
197. I know. Don't worry.
I'll catch up later.
Copy !req
198. Hurry and go.
Copy !req
199. Everyone is so energetic.
Copy !req
200. I'll say. It's tiring sometimes.
Copy !req
201. Tatsuki, does your hand hurt?
Copy !req
202. Huh? No, not at all.
Copy !req
203. Although, if I think about how this
caused me to lose first place,
Copy !req
204. it does hurt a bit.
Copy !req
205. But second place in
the Inter-High Tournament means
Copy !req
206. you're the second strongest
high school girl in Japan!
Copy !req
207. You're amazing, Tatsuki.
Copy !req
208. Oh, c'mon!
Copy !req
209. Oh yes... You're amazing!
Copy !req
210. It's been such a long time
since we last came here.
Copy !req
211. We only come in autumn each year.
Copy !req
212. Have I told you?
Copy !req
213. My brother had this knack for
catching red dragonflies on his fingers.
Copy !req
214. He'd point his fingers to the sky
and immediately,
Copy !req
215. a dragonfly would land.
Copy !req
216. It was like magic and
I loved to watch him.
Copy !req
217. That's why I wanted to be able
to do that...
Copy !req
218. But I couldn't...
Copy !req
219. This time, I'll protect you.
Copy !req
220. You're visiting relatives
next week?
Copy !req
221. Huh? Yes.
Copy !req
222. Ichigo said he's going on
a trip next week, too.
Copy !req
223. Oh, yes...
Copy !req
224. I couldn't be first...
Copy !req
225. Huh?
Copy !req
226. But I've never regretted trying.
Copy !req
227. Even if it doesn't turn out well,
Copy !req
228. there are things you discover
just by doing your best.
Copy !req
229. So... so...
Copy !req
230. Once you make up your mind about
something, just go forward and do it.
Copy !req
231. And in exchange... I'll...
Copy !req
232. I'll be waiting here... so...
Copy !req
233. So...
Copy !req
234. Fantastic!
Copy !req
235. Terrific!
Copy !req
236. Look at the sky!
Copy !req
237. It's so pretty.
Copy !req
238. Aug. 8, 1:00AM
Copy !req
239. Let's see.
Copy !req
240. This should do it.
Copy !req
241. In seven days, at 1:00am,
leave your window open and wait.
Copy !req
242. I'm getting bad vibes about this...
Copy !req
243. What a nice breeze...
Copy !req
244. W-What is that?
Copy !req
245. What's happening?
Copy !req
246. Please come to the front
of Urahara's Shop immediately.
Copy !req
247. W-What the hell is he doing?
Copy !req
248. This looks like a message
left at a murder scene!
Copy !req
249. I hope it washes off!
Copy !req
250. What's this... P.S.?
Copy !req
251. P.S.
Copy !req
252. If you thought this looks like
a message left at a murder scene...
Copy !req
253. or something basic like that...
Copy !req
254. you have no sense of humor!
Copy !req
255. Shut up!
Copy !req
256. See you later, Yuzu, Karin... Dad...
Copy !req
257. Good morning!
Copy !req
258. Ichigo!
Copy !req
259. By dodging that attack...
Copy !req
260. - it proves you are my son, after all.
- What the hell are you up to?
Copy !req
261. B-Before you leave,
I wanted to give you this.
Copy !req
262. B-Before you leave,
I wanted to give you this.
Copy !req
263. What's up with this shabby amulet?
Copy !req
264. How dare you call it shabby!
Your mother gave it to me long ago!
Copy !req
265. How dare you call it shabby!
Your mother gave it to me long ago!
Copy !req
266. It is filled with luck
and divine grace!
Copy !req
267. What are you thinking?
I can't take this!
Copy !req
268. Damn right!
Who said I'm giving it to you?
Copy !req
269. Who?
Copy !req
270. I'm just lending it
to you for your trip.
Copy !req
271. When you're done,
give it back to me in person.
Copy !req
272. Here! What do you say?
Copy !req
273. You better give it back, you hear?
I'll shave my beard if you lose it!
Copy !req
274. Uh, Okay.
Copy !req
275. Uh, Okay.
Copy !req
276. All right, I'm going.
Copy !req
277. Right!
Copy !req
278. I am... a Soul Reaper.
Copy !req
279. Reaping a Hollow
is not really killing it.
Copy !req
280. The one who killed your mother...
Wasn't it a Hollow?
Copy !req
281. So many things have happened.
Copy !req
282. You're just a human!
Copy !req
283. How dare you grab
my brother's hem like that?
Copy !req
284. And now...
Copy !req
285. You will die anyway...
Copy !req
286. So stay there and live,
even if for just one second longer.
Copy !req
287. I won't let it go and pretend like
all of this never happened.
Copy !req
288. URAHARA'S STORE
Copy !req
289. Oh, Ichigo!
Copy !req
290. Right on time!
Copy !req
291. Good, good.
Copy !req
292. Chad... why are you doing here?
Copy !req
293. Rukia Kuchiki once saved me.
Copy !req
294. I'm going, too.
Copy !req
295. Huh? What?
Copy !req
296. What? You didn't hear?
Copy !req
297. Ishida?
Copy !req
298. I'm not letting those Soul Reapers
have a win over me.
Copy !req
299. I'm going, too.
Copy !req
300. Huh?
Copy !req
301. Now we're all here.
Copy !req
302. Inoue!
Copy !req
303. Looking forward to
working with you!
Copy !req
304. Huh? Hey! What's going on?
Copy !req
305. Pretty slow on the up-take,
aren't you?
Copy !req
306. Mr. Yoruichi!
Copy !req
307. Kid, don't tell me
you didn't notice
Copy !req
308. the increase in the hidden powers
of these three.
Copy !req
309. While you were training
to regain your Soul Reaper power,
Copy !req
310. these three were also training
in their own way.
Copy !req
311. Instead of criticizing,
bow your head and thank them.
Copy !req
312. A...
Copy !req
313. A talking cat!
Copy !req
314. - He's not a cat. He's Mr. Yoruichi.
- It's a cat!
Copy !req
315. It is shocking, after all.
Copy !req
316. It's his first time meeting him,
I guess.
Copy !req
317. Yes, yes... Let's end it there.
Copy !req
318. We can't keep talking outside.
Please come in.
Copy !req
319. Inoue...
Copy !req
320. What is it?
Copy !req
321. How much do you know?
Copy !req
322. I mean... it's going to
be dangerous.
Copy !req
323. I promised Tatsuki that
I'd go with you. And...
Copy !req
324. I promised to return.
Copy !req
325. W-Wow! All this space
beneath the shop!
Copy !req
326. This is so neat...
it's like a secret base!
Copy !req
327. Really?
Copy !req
328. What...
Copy !req
329. What a wonderful reaction!
I, Tessai, am deeply moved.
Copy !req
330. Don't mention it.
Copy !req
331. All right, your attention please!
Copy !req
332. Here we go!
Copy !req
333. This is the gate that leads
to Soul Society.
Copy !req
334. It's known as the Senkaimon,
which is written, "Tunnel World Gate."
Copy !req
335. Now listen very carefully.
Before that...
Copy !req
336. - He pops out so easily!
- Hey, at least warn me before!
Copy !req
337. So this Kurosaki is no longer
inside that Kurosaki?
Copy !req
338. Of course not!
Don't talk like I'm not here!
Copy !req
339. Let's continue.
Copy !req
340. This gate has
a layer of Reishihenkanki,
Copy !req
341. Spirit-particle Conversion Machine
on top of a normal Senkaimon.
Copy !req
342. Spirit-particle...
Conversion Machine?
Copy !req
343. Yes.
Copy !req
344. As you already know,
the Soul Society is a world of spirits.
Copy !req
345. It is impossible to enter that world
unless you have the form of a spirit.
Copy !req
346. However, only Ichigo,
as a Soul Reaper, can cross through.
Copy !req
347. So we will use the Henkanki
to convert you into spirits.
Copy !req
348. In other words...
Copy !req
349. We'll be able to pass without extracting
our spirits, by going through this gate.
Copy !req
350. Correct.
Copy !req
351. You will be able to enter
the Soul Society like that.
Copy !req
352. Okay, got it!
Copy !req
353. - Let's get!
- However!
Copy !req
354. - The time limit that we have
- Ouch!
Copy !req
355. to open the gate and connect it
to the Soul Society is...
Copy !req
356. four minutes.
Copy !req
357. I-Is that enough time?
Copy !req
358. Normally, it would be impossible.
Copy !req
359. What?
Copy !req
360. It's a reckless idea to start with.
Copy !req
361. I'll do my very best and
hold it for four minutes.
Copy !req
362. If you can't cross over
in that time...
Copy !req
363. you will be trapped forever between
the Soul Society and this world.
Copy !req
364. W-What should we do?
Copy !req
365. Just go forward.
Copy !req
366. I told you that the heart
and soul are connected.
Copy !req
367. The important thing is
what you feel in your heart
Copy !req
368. and the will to move forward.
Copy !req
369. I will be your guide.
Copy !req
370. Go forward...
Copy !req
371. Only those who can
do that can follow me.
Copy !req
372. Are you babbling in
your sleep or what?
Copy !req
373. That's why we're here!
Copy !req
374. You understand, kid,
that if you fail, you cannot return.
Copy !req
375. So I just have to win, right?
Copy !req
376. Exactly.
Copy !req
377. Are you ready?
Copy !req
378. Run in the instant it opens.
Copy !req
379. Right!
Copy !req
380. Let's do it!
Copy !req
381. It's in your hands now...
Copy !req
382. Mr. Kurosaki.
Copy !req
383. With much appreciation
Copy !req
384. I send a rhapsody filled
with treasured thoughts
Copy !req
385. To the people who have
always held me up
Copy !req
386. Thank you for everything
