Raise your eyes you can see shooting stars up in the night sky

Raise your eyes you can see shooting stars up in the night sky

One, two. ..

The sound resonates Into my heart, so hard and deep

A field of stars spans endlessly And through it I carve a passageway

In step with time as generations change

Close your eyes and listen closely

Shooting stars stream on silently... until the goodbye

Keep the light inside of you, never give up don't ever lose

Transcend time and you will prove, there is a special place for you

A blaze of glory is there,

It's all a part of our estate, life is our story to create

Raise your eyes you can see shooting stars up in the night sky

Wishes speak from ages old by voice of light

Throughout the age, never fade away

A secret fire, a scream of light, voices calling through twilight

Cast your thoughts to the wind, hang your wishes on the moon

Live your life with all your strength

for dreams will reach you very soon

Raise your eyes you can see shooting stars up in the night sky

Wishes speak from ages old by voice of light

Throughout the age, never fade away

Someday your dream will find Its place somewhere

Keep shining like a star

WE TREMBLE IN AWE OF THAT WHICH CANNOT BE SEEN

AND WE WORSHIP THAT WHICH CANNOT BE SEEN

I see... I sense a strong Sprit Energy...

AND THUS THE BLADE IS WIELDED

What the hell?

First, you kick Yamachan down

and now you want us to get outta your way?!

Uhh...

Say something, you—!

Oh, Toshirin's getting—!

This is bad!

He's so unreasonable!

Just shut up!

All of you.. . look at that!

First question:

What is that?

All right, you in the middle!

Huh? Uh, well.. .flowers for the kid who died here the other day?

You're correct!

Mitchan!

Then tell me... Why is that vase on its side?

Well.. . we were skateboarding and knocked...it.. .over...

If you ever do it again...

I'll make it so that someone will have to

offer flowers up for your souls, too!

We're so sorry!

Whew. . .they probably won't be back, now that | put the fear in them.

I'll bring you some fresh flowers tomorrow.

Thank you for getting rid of them.

Now I should be able to rest in peace.

You're welcome.

I hope you get to rest in peace soon.

I'm Ichigo Kurosaki, 15, a tenth grader.

My family runs a medical clinic.

We save some, and we lose some.

Maybe it's because of that,

but ever since I can remember, I've been able to see ghosts.

I'm home...

You're late!

You delinquent!

You know that dinnertime here is always at 7:00!

Hey man! Is this any way to treat your son,

who just laid his life on the line to help a ghost rest in peace?!

Shut up! I don't care what your excuse is.

Anyone who disturbs the peace and happiness in our household

will be punished!

Or what?

Are you gloating over the fact that

only you can touch or talk to ghosts?!

Shut up! I didn't ask to be born like this!

Will you stop it, you two? Dinner's getting cold.

Leave them alone, Yuzu. Seconds, please.

But, Karin...

Anyways...

Making a healthy male high school student

come home every night at 7:00 is...

Ichigo, you have a new one on you.

Huh?

This guy...when did he get here?!

No matter how hard I try to get rid of them, they just won't go away!

Thanks for dinner.

Poor Ichigo... He's so popular.

But I sort of envy him.

I can sense their presence, but I rarely see anything.

Well, I don't believe in ghosts and stuff.

What? But you see them too, don't you, Karin?

Dad's the only one who can't see them.

Whether I see them or not,

if I don't believe in them, they don't exist.

Ohh...

So cold!

Dinner...

You're wide open!

Never mind! I'm going to bed.

Oh, Ichigo!

It's your fault, Dad.

Why?!

Ichigo's having a tough time right now.

Now that you mention it,

he said he's seeing more of them than before.

What?! You mean he talks to you about things like that?

He doesn't tell me...

Of course not.

You're over 40,

and your communication skills are immature.

Who'd want to tell you anything?

Oh, Mother!

I don't know if it's because they're going through puberty,

but our daughters have been so cold towards me!

What should I do?

First of all, get rid of that stupid memorial poster.

and the walls of many buildings exploded.

Good morning, Ichigo.

'Morning... Where's Dad?

He has a meeting. He won't be home tonight.

I see... Huh?

Investigators and explosives experts

are currently working to discover the cause.

What's wrong?

That's near here.

Hey!

Hm?

What was that sound?

I didn't hear anything...

It's another explosion!

W-What is that?

Ichigo!

Run!

What is it?!

I don't know!

Hey! Hurry!

H-Hey...

Hey, you?

What was that?

Another explosion?

What's going on?

/can't figure it out...

Who was that?

Who...are you?

Who are you?! What do you want?

Hey!

It's near...

What are you talking about, idiot?!

First you scare the living daylights out of me,

then you ignore me?

I'm asking you who you are!

Y-You... You can see me”?

But wait.. .you just kicked me...

Huh? What are you babbling about?

Of course, I can see you.

You were the one in town earlier, weren't you?

You just noticed?

Strange... People usually can't see me...

Quit talking nonsense...

Why, you!

All right, I will tell you.

I am...a Soul Reaper.

Again... Where is it?

I see. So you're a Soul Reaper...

And you've come all the way here from this Soul Society place

in order to exorcise evil demons.

So that means that that monster was a demon...

and it attacked that girl.

Okay, I'll believe you...

Idiot! You think I'd believe that?!

You're saying that, even though you can see ghosts,

you don't believe in Soul Reapers?

Of course!

Unfortunately, I've never seen a Soul Reaper before.

I don't believe in anything that I can't see.

But you see me now.

I'll admit that you're no human.

But quit playing "Soul Reaper" around here.

Got that? You brat!

You dare to call me that?!

Bakudo Number One: Sail

Ouch! What did you do to me?!

You can't move, can you?

This is Kido,

a high-level incantation that only a Soul Reaper can use.

I may not look it, but I have lived nearly ten times longer than you.

And you called me a brat!

In any other situation, I would kill you on the spot,

but I am not permitted to execute anyone not named in my orders.

Be grateful for that, you brat.

Of all the nerve!

And so...

Oh...

Y-You're the guy from yesterday...

N-No... I don't want to go to hell!

Fear not. Your destination is not hell.

It is the Soul Society.

Unlike hell, it is a peaceful place.

What happened.. .to that guy”?

I sent him to the Soul Society.

In your language it's called "passing over," I guess.

It's one of the jobs of Soul Reapers.

I will explain it simply

so that even an impatient brat like you can be satisfied.

Now listen...

There are two types of spirits in this world.

WHOLES GOOD GHOSTS The first are normal spirits called Wholes...

WHOLES GOOD GHOSTS

WHOLES GOOD GHOSTS They're the ghosts you usually see.

WHOLES GOOD GHOSTS

HOLLOWS BAD GHOSTS

HOLLOWS BAD GHOSTS The second are called Hollows.

HOLLOWS BAD GHOSTS

HOLLOWS BAD GHOSTS They attack people, living or dead, to devour their souls.

HOLLOWS BAD GHOSTS

HOLLOWS BAD GHOSTS In other words, they are evil spirits.

In other words, they are evil spirits.

Do you have any questions so far?

Well.. first off, tell me why your drawings are so bad.

Hey!

What the hell did you do?!

I will continue my explanation, Baron.

Baron?

We Soul Reapers have two jobs.

The first is to lead the Wholes to the Soul Society

with a sendoff, Konso, as I just did.

And the second is to cut and purify the Hollows.

Why was that Hollow going after that girl?

That I do not know.

We have yet to grasp everything about them.

I smell it...

It's the smell of an especially tasty soul.

It's nearby...along with the smell of a Soul Reaper.

Hey! What was that?!

Whatever the case,

there's another one wandering around here.

Then, hurry up and get rid of it!

No, well...

For some reason, I haven't been able to sense its presence at all.

It's as though some strong force is obstructing my senses.

What are you saying?! Can't you hear the terrible cries?!

Isn't that the Hollow you're after?

Terrible cries? I don't...

! heard that!

That's definitely the cry of a Hollow!

See?!

Yuzu!

Hey, wait!

Such strong spiritual pressure! How could I not have sensed this?!

I...

Ichi...go...

Yuzu!

Karin was. ..

Ichigo...

Please save... Karin...

Hey, you!

Hey!

Damn it!

Stop it! Stop.. it!

Stay back!

Karin!

Damn it!

He's moving... even after I put that Kido on him!

You'll get in the way! Stay back!

Shut up!

Karin!

Stop! No human strength can break it.

If you try to force I, your soul will...

A human breaking the spell with his own power?

Wait!

Ichigo! Run!

Karin!

I found you.

Karin! Hey!

Do not panic!

That Hollow has not devoured your sister's soul yet.

Are you sure?

Yes...

It is seeking a soul with a higher concentration of spirit energy.

I see. That Hollow this afternoon wasn't after that girl, either.

What do you mean?

For some reason,

your spirit energy was almost completely suppressed

until just now.

That's why I didn't sense anything from you,

and you were never attacked by a Hollow.

It's just conjecture,

but perhaps the spirit energy that was sealed up within your body...

began to pour out due to the contact you had

with the ghost of that young girl.

In other words,

those two Hollows sensed the density of your soul

through that girl.

They are really after you!

They're...after me...

It's here! You stay...

Shut up!

Are you saying that girl was attacked because of me?

What are you talking about?

Is it my fault that Karin and Yuzu's lives are in danger?!

Please save...

Ichigo... Run!

Hey!

You want my soul, don't you?

In that case, come fight me one on one!

Soul Reaper!

You fool!

You should have known... that you were no match for him!

Or, did you think that everything would be over

if you gave him your soul?

At this rate, we will all simply become food for him.

Do you want. . .to save your family?

Of course! Is there a way?

There's just one way...

You must become a Soul Reaper!

What?!

Run the point of this Zanpakuto through the center of your being

and I will pour my powers into you.

I don't know if it will work,

but there is nothing else we can do.

Give me that sword, Soul Reaper.

My name is not "Soul Reaper." I am Rukia Kuchiki.

I'm...

Ichigo Kurosaki!

How could it be?

I meant to only give him half of my spirit energy,

but he took it all. ....

Hey!

Who is he?!

! have never seen a human with enough spirit energy...

to confuse a Soul Reaper.

I have never seen a human with strength enough

to break a spell on his own...

And...I've never seen a Soul Reaper's Zanpakuto. ....

become so large!

You're gonna pay for hurting my family!

You fish-face!

Though the voyage must continue on

May seas always be calm

When the cycle of the moon has renewed may it shine

Its light to guide your boat

I offer this voyage a prayer

With each new day that still awaits

On vividly shining seas

Hey, how are you all doing?

This is your idol Kon,
