Original subtitles

It's morning...

What a wonderful dream.

No better dream than a nightmare.

I see it...

I see your pain, as well...

You win, Jugo.

I also see your loyalty...

My son born of darkness.

Come...

No one can stop me.

Their powers switch only while Yhwach is asleep.

That's right.

Right now, Yhwach does not have the power of "The Almighty."

He's now in the upper level of Wahr Welt.

Head up there, Kurosaki!

Ishida!

Are you actually gonna stay here?

If he has Yhwach's powers, then it's all the more reason—!

Quit talking and go!

Besides, those won't be my last words.

Is everything okay, Inoue?

I'm fine. I'm okay.

I just...kinda felt relieved.

Relieved?

How do I put it?

I never believed Ishida actually joined the Quincy, but...

hearing him say it directly was a relief, I guess.

I was just thinking Ishida was still the same Ishida...

What's that?!

- Chad! - Sado!

I'm okay. Just go!

Okay... Let's do this.

Turn to sand!

Oh, it's you, Ganju.

Where have you been?

"Where have you been?" my butt!

You left me and went off on your own!

I got separated and got lost!

That's when I saw this perfect moment to use my skills.

A group of stone statues is perfect!

My Seppa was made for this!

Hey, listen to me!

- I'm listening. - Are you really, though?

Give me a reaction or something!

Do you like doing unglamorous grunt work, Ganju?

Ichigo only sees the path that's in front of him.

That's how he is.

Our job is to clean out the castle and pave a path back for Ichigo.

Haschwalth can't see the complete future...

You surprise me, Uryu Ishida.

You look completely different from who you were earlier.

You seem so full of hope now.

I see.

Setting aside whether or not I am full of hope or not,

the fact that you're surprised...

...means you did not foresee me being filled with hope, did you?

At that time, he didn't confirm or deny it.

Like I keep telling you, I see everything.

In that case, I'll just confirm how much you can see.

They're not hitting him...!

So, he can see everything, after all?

Seems you're limiting my angles of attack

by standing with your back to the walls and ceiling.

Then you need only to concentrate on what's in front of you.

I praise you for fighting a cerebral battle, Uryu Ishida.

As I'd expect from you, Grand Master.

But I don't appreciate your praise.

Your life is in my hands...

Right now, the power of His Majesty fills my body,

Trying to take these powers from me is futile.

Uryu Ishida...

You cannot be me.

I am His Majesty's other half.

I am a Quincy born to be together with His Majesty.

That is why His Majesty entrusted his powers to me.

Can you see it?

Can you see what is about to happen next?

What is that?!

This is His Majesty's true wish.

It's a hit!

Jinta Home-Run!

Uh... What is that huge crack?!

It's identical to that "distortion" Kisuke was investigating...

Wait a minute!!

A "distortion" is a concentration of dangerous energy...

I thought the Manager and the others fixed it!

He was supposed to, but...

Isn't it dangerous to stay in this town...or even in this world?

Isn't that right, Tessai?

Mr. Urahara...

Did you say, his true wish?

Everything is proceeding according to His Majesty's plan

that began with the attack on Soul Society.

The extermination of massive numbers of Hollows

from the World of the Living greatly upset the balance of souls

Our invasion fooled many Soul Reapers.

The deaths of Genryusai Yamamoto

followed by members of Squad Zero

upset the balance in this world to its core.

And the Soul King, who was the linchpin of the Three Worlds,

became a part of His Majesty's power.

This crack is a prelude

to the annihilation of the Three Worlds.

Annihilation of the Three Worlds...

What are you trying to do?

You've probably heard before.

It's called "Welt."

We are creating a new world.

We will destroy the Three Worlds

to create a monarchy of and for Quincy.

That is His Majesty's true wish

and it is the duty Stern Ritter must fulfill for their brethren.

You are not a part of that future that I see.

Dealing with traitors...

...is also my job!

Spoken like His Majesty's mouthpiece.

After hearing what you said, my to-do list just grew.

First, defeat you to eliminate "The Almighty."

Second, eliminate this rift and protect the Three Worlds.

Can't believe I didn't have to move...

...to survive all that!

I feel it. I feel myself moving farther away from death.

If my immunity is the ultimate way to avoid death,

maybe I have immunity to thank for this as well.

What do you think, Yoruichi Shihoin?

Sorry, I thought you were talking to yourself, so I wasn't listening.

More like you couldn't listen, right?

I fired off a hybrid Gift Ball

of Spiritual Pressure, Oxygen, and Nitrogen.

You didn't have the luxury of listening to pointless mutterings...

Honestly, I'm surprised you're not dead in your condition.

Likewise...

After all that fiddling with fatal dosage...

I'm not sure why you adjusted it enough to keep me barely alive.

You're wrong.

I did the best that I could.

Anyone else would have been dead by now.

Stop ignoring that you're a freak

and making it sound like I went easy on you.

It's a real bummer.

Yushiro won't last much longer...

But I don't have the strength to heal him in my condition.

In that case!

Don't bother.

I don't know what you're up to...

But you're at death's door.

You couldn't even react at this distance.

No matter what you try in the state you're in now,

I'm confident I can strike first.

That's pretty fatal, don't you think, Yoruichi Shihoin?

Indeed!

You've been dealt a fatal wedgie, Yoruichi.

That hurt my chin!

I came all this way to save you. Why'd you kick me?!

What made you think I wouldn't?!

Look at me! Stop staring at my butt!

Sorry...

You're right. Perhaps ‘wedgie" was a bit vulgar.

That's not why I kicked you!

And stop touching my butt while apologizing!

Kisuke Urahara...

Another troublemaker to deal with...

Oh, you know me? Much obliged.

Do I know you?

You may not know this,

but you're one of the Special Threats

designated personally by His Majesty.

I'm honored to be included among such esteemed company.

It's a privilege, but he's giving me too much credit.

Isn't that right, Yoruichi?

What?!

What did he do?

How is Yoruichi Shihoin able to move?!

Did he undo my Death Dealing?!

How?!

No, this is exactly what I've been told about.

The five Special Threats were chosen

for their incalculable aspects.

Ichigo Kurosaki for his "potential."

Kenpachi Zaraki for his "combat strength."

Ichibei Hyosube for his "wisdom."

Sosuke Aizen for his "Spiritual Pressure."

And Kisuke Urahara

for his "incalculable tricks!"

Regardless of what strategy you use,

he will always outsmart you.

He is the consummate schemer!

Man...Why am I the one

who always has to face these troublemakers?!

What did you inject into my butt?

It's a secret.

An immunity enhancing agent you cooked up

while hiding and eavesdropping on us...

Am I right?

As expected, Yoruichi!

How astute of you.

I had to rush and improvise, so its effect won't last long.

How long?

About 5 minutes, maybe?

That's plenty!

Shunko!

- Raijin Senkei... - Hold on, Yoruichi.

What?! You got more to say?!

Let's try that thing...

No!

Why'd you shoot me down so quick?

Let me try to explain and negotiate with you...

I never want to be that half-assed, grotesque form ever again!

I see... Too bad.

I don't want to do this, but you force my hand...

Oops! Bummer. I missed.

Hey...

It's nice that you're able to move,

and it's great you're excited, but...

I hit you with the Gift Ball when you were in perfect condition...

Do you really think you can beat me

just because you recovered a little bit?

Yoruichi!

What just happened?!

W-What kind of form is that?!

Hey, don't ignore me!

Shunko: Raiju Senkei Shunryu Kokubyo Senki.

That's what.

Okay, but why are you the one saying it?

Could it be?

Can she not understand what I'm saying right now?

No way!

How is this happening?

I should be immune to her Spiritual Pressure already!

It's not possible for a Soul Reaper's Spiritual Pressure

to change midway like this!

What's going on?!

She's moody.

You know how they say cats can be fickle?

Yoruichi's moods in her Kokubyo Senki form

shows in her Spiritual Pressure.

See how she's not coming after you right now?

It's because she's not in the mood.

Yoruichi's moody to begin with, but in that form,

her Spiritual Pressure becomes more erratic.

It's almost like someone else's Spiritual Pressure.

You know how the flu spreads every year?

Even if it's not a new strain,

just a tiny mutation in antigenicity

and last year's strain Type A spreads again.

It's sort of like that.

Even if your body keeps building up immunity,

one small change makes it all for nothing.

Sure, your immunity acquisition rate

is incredibly fast...

When you're attacked,

you reflexively analyze the Spiritual Pressure

and build immunity at a terrifying speed.

It takes you just a minute to nullify any attack.

But that's not fast enough.

The Spiritual Pressure when Yoruichi's in Kokubyo Senki

changes 48 times per second.

Hey!

Yoruichi... I have Yoru-nip for you.

Come here.

Ouch!

Okay, okay!

Oh boy...

I'm the only one who can control her,

and she can only revert back if she's in the mood...

I guess that's the drawback with this form.

Well, Yoruichi in this form is cute in her own way,

so I don't really mind.

Oh, it's been almost five minutes.

The immuno enhancer is about to wear off.

You did well, Yoruichi.

Take your time detoxing from the poison.

I'm going to look for his body and make sure he's dead.

What's the hell is this?

A Gift Ball Deluxe.

The largest Gift Ball I can create.

Oh! That's not what's bothering you?

Are you bothered by the way I look?

It's called Hass Hein.

Not that cool of a name, right?

What are you doing, Orihime?

Yeah... I was just thinking that

this flower kind of reminds me of Kurosaki.

What? It does?

Ichigo's not as red like that flower,

but isn't he more like that one?

Huh, I think you're right.

Well, it doesn't really matter which one he is.

We can talk about Ichigo later.

Anyway, let's get going.

We need to finish seeing everything by half past the hour.

Oh yes, you're right...

Yup, I am!

Double period classes are such a pain!

Kurosaki's heart must surely be...

...the same color as that flower.

Warm, kind and shining its light brightly on everything around it....

In order to protect everyone.

That's why I decided...

Kurosaki, I—!

Spiritual Pressure that changes 48 times per second...

Put another way...

I can get a taste of all 48 versions in one second.

In other words, if I can withstand her attack

for just one second in my Vollständig form,

I'll be infected 48 times.

Then all I need...is time to analyze and acquire immunity.

Oh, and...

Maybe there's a way to alter her Spiritual Pressure even more,

but it won't do any good.

Just so you don't waste any time and effort,

out of kindness...

I'll tell you the capabilities of my Vollständig.

My Vollständig, Hass Hein adapts to the changes in a poison.

No matter how much the surface layer of a poison changes,

if the base is the same,

Hass Hein can alter the immunity and instantly nullify it.

Was that was too wordy?

But you get it, right?

From here on out,

the both of you can change your Spiritual Pressures all you want.

But you won't be able to put a scratch on me.

So, what will you do, Kisuke Urahara?

Don't tell me...

Just because I negated all your moves from 1 to 10,

that you're at your wit's end!

Don't be so surprised.

I'm just making sure.

I divided the Bereich.

I'm not fond of speaking in absolutes, you see.

People who do, appear unsure of themselves, don't they?

I want to be a man who is in control.

But I will say this.

It is absolutely impossible to escape this Gift Bereich.

You really don't want us to escape, do you?

Of course not. Why even ask?

You and I are enemies.

Well, I hate to be the one to say this,

but you didn't seem to me like a guy who acts out of loyalty.

Now that was rude.

I like to think I have twice the loyalty of a Pomeranian.

But you're not wrong...

Loyalty isn't everything.

I'm interested in His Majesty.

When I say "interested," does that sound condescending?

Of course, I don't mean it that way.

The World of the Living, Hueco Mundo, Soul Society...

Destroying three entire worlds...

...then aiming to build something new!

Who else but His Majesty could do that?

Let's say, if we lose His Majesty here...

do you think anybody else like him would emerge to take his place?

Kisuke Urahara...

You're a smart guy...

You look like a man who has seen everything there is to see.

Aren't you even a bit curious?

What will His Majesty create after he destroys the Three Worlds?

Don't you want to see what it will be?

You're still able to move that quickly?

That's impressive inside this Gift Bereich.

No, I don't think I do.

Is that your answer to my earlier question?

That's too bad.

I thought you'd be more like me.

Perhaps Captain Kurotsuchi might have said

he wanted to see something new.

Mayuri Kurotsuchi, huh...?

But even in his case,

it doesn't mean he'd want to see what Yhwach creates.

If you want to see something created that nobody's ever seen before,

it should be made by your own hand.

That's how scientists are.

I see.

I don't hate that answer.

Still, I'd rather see His Majesty's version!

Gift Ring!

It disappeared?!

I use Gift Ring on guys who are ridiculously strong

on whom the Death Dealing doesn't work.

It's effect...

focuses the ability of the Death Dealing on a single point

that's been pierced with pinpoint accuracy

and instantly killing that precise section.

It's your fault for being too strong.

Lowering the lethal dose did no good.

Eliminating all your moves didn't do it.

So, destroying every single organ of yours

is the only way left to kill you.

You've got me here...

You're really hellbent on killing me!

Guess I have no choice.

Bankai.

Kannon-Biraki Benihime Aratame.

Whoa... What is that?

That's a Bankai?

Your Bankai...

wasn't in the information I received from His Majesty.

This is the first time I've used it among present company.

I see...that's how it is.

So, I might as well ask... What does it do?

You're actually asking?

I'm not telling.

Well, okay, I figured.

It's just kinda scary confronting it without knowing what it does.

I get it.

But you'll find out soon enough.

What the...hell is this?!

You're so calm!

Most people are so surprised that they try to cut off their arm.

As you've now realized, my Bankai's effect is "ranged."

I don't have the guts to cut my arm off.

You might have realized from the first strike...

What...

What is he doing?

Kannon-Biraki Benihime Aratame's ability...

is reconstructing whatever it touches.

What?! You can see?!

But I killed your eyes instantly!

I can see!

They've been reconstructed, you see...

Ugh, I hate this.

I really, really, really really hate this!

This has turned into a clash of brute force,

the kind of fight I hate!

I finally dragged you onto my turf to fight on my terms,

then you go and mess it all up.

You're a bad man, Kisuke Urahara.

But,

you're not perfect!

You haven't forgotten, have you?

My Gift Ball Deluxe is an inescapable fortress of poison!

You're able to breathe inside of it

only because I'm moderating it!

Give me a break, here!

You're not going to raise the concentration

of Gift Ball Deluxe even more, are you?!

As it is, I can just barely crawl...

That's rich coming from you.

I already know!

Your Bankai is dangerous even if you're crawling on the ground!

Impressive. You're quite perceptive.

But it's already too late.

What happened?

It's been bugging me...

You said that this Gift Ball Deluxe was inescapable,

but you did not say it was impenetrable.

So, I thought as a test...

Why not create a direct path into the ball from the outside?

Thank you for your help...

Mr. Grimmjow.

So, you're...

moving around again.

Impressive.

I underestimated you.

What? You're still alive even with a crushed heart?

I healed him. On my way here.

The Arrancars who had their masks torn off by Aizen

can completely transform their Spiritual Pressures

from an Arrancar's to a Hollow's using Resurrección.

I thought that might be useful in battle.

You saw that far ahead?

No.

I told you...

I thought it might come in handy during battle.

So, I prepared for it.

Take a thousand precautions and if even one is successful...perfect.

Prepare for every single possibility.

That's how I am.

That's insane.

How so?

This is a battle.

You lose, you die.

Preparing yourself to death, to avoid death...

It's something we all do, don't you think?

You have a point.

I think I finally...

understand why...

you're so frightening...

Stubborn bastard. Die already.

Mr. Grimmjow!

Killing your enemy was the extent of our agreement.

Our contract's done.

What the...hell is this?

Oh, I forgot to tell you something...

Bastard! You're still...

When I die,

the effect of Gift Ball Deluxe intensifies!

It's because the lock that

I unconsciously kept on it out of fear, to protect myself

is removed.

I would pay my respects to you...

But there's nothing I can do about it.

I'm guessing you two don't have the energy left to run.

Sorry about that...

That being said...

Knowing you,

I'm sure you've got an answer for this, right?

Damn it.

It pisses me off so much.

So, I won't say...

it's fatal...

Damn it!

I'm not letting this thing kill me!

Amazing...

One of the Five Possibilities he mentioned really happened...

I think there are four Spiritual Pressures inside.

It will take two round trips.

Where's the entrance?

There?! It's tiny!

I was actually hoping to go with Ichigo, but...

Is this it for me?

I'm sorry to leave the rest up to you like this...

Mr. Kurosaki... Miss Kuchiki...

Everyone...

Do you feel that, Inoue?

Yes.

It's behind that door.

Yes.

We'll go in two on one.

It may be kinda unfair...

I'll leave you in charge of defense.

I'm counting on you, Inoue.

Okay!

It's finally happening.

Finally...

Finally...

I can finally fight to protect Kurosaki!

Good of you to come.

I've been waiting.

My son of darkness.

Aren't you going to draw your sword?

That leaves you quite vulnerable...

...is what I want to say, but...

you're not exactly vulnerable, are you?

It's like I can almost see

your overflowing Spiritual Pressure take form.

You've grown strong.

No, I should say...

That is the power you're supposed to have.

Now come!

Will you come from the right?

Or from the left?

I'm waiting in anticipation.

What's the matter? Aren't you going to strike at me?

I want to enjoy this long-awaited talk between father and child.

You're...

not my father.

Ah, you speak of Isshin Kurosaki?

He was just a stand-in father.

I'm sure you've already been told...

of the origin of your power.

I have.

So what?

You're not my father!

You're the man who killed one of my parents!

Your mother?

Don't be pathetic!

Getsugatensho!

Simply being able to "see" the future

doesn't mean he can "win."

I simply have to attack in a way he can't defend

even if he knows it's coming.

I'm going to send you and that "almighty" power to the grave.

I will rectify your ignorance, Uryu Ishida.

Simply grasping everything about a battlefield

is a far cry from "seeing" how a battle unfolds.

You sent Ichigo Kurosaki to fight the most important battle.

You probably calculated on Ichigo defeating His Majesty

when he is without The Almighty.

That was a reasonable strategy.

But a mistaken one.

The power of the Soul King!

What is there to be sad about?

She died as she was supposed to.

She gave birth to you and lived for me.

What more could she want?

There is no greater happiness!

Kurosaki!

Kurosaki!

Our conversation is finished.

It was fun.

Now...

Shall we fight, Ichigo?

It was a smart choice to focus on the The Almighty.

However...

It was overly arrogant of you to try to measure His Majesty.

The Almighty.

What was it that you thought you knew about me, Uryu Ishida?

Despair begins now.

Wait, Kurosaki!

A reckless charge.

What did you bring that woman for?

Did hatred make you lose control of yourself?

Don't be so impatient.

You will eventually be consumed by me and die,

but it's no fun if you rush to your death.

Do you have any idea how much time and

how many miracles it took to create you?

Don't be impatient.

Don't treat your life so lightly.

Your body...

Your power...

They do not belong to you, Ichigo.

Expend all of your power and die, Ichigo!

Where am I?

I can't see a thing...

What is this place?

Expend all of your power and die, Ichigo!

Santenkesshun!

Shitenkoshun!!

Ah, the power of rejection.

I...

reject!

You can't reject me completely.

The same powers that flow within Ichigo flow within me.

So, you unconsciously accept my attacks.

Woman...

Consider it an honor...

that a mere human like you, who overstepped her bounds,

could even be here.

I won't let you... ...hurt him

I will protect him!

And that...

is why...

I reject!

Getsugatensho!

I will kill you.

Such hubris, Ichigo.

To do that would be the same as killing the world.

For I've already become the world itself!

While I possess His Majesty's powers,

I can wield them as I please.

This is the power that I hold as his other half.

Uryu Ishida, if you did indeed survive His Majesty's Auswählen,

then prove it once more by surviving my powers.

Your fight has been a contradiction from the very beginning.

You should have seen that already.

You know just how fragile the balance of this world is

and how easily it can be shaken...

Killing His Majesty, who has become one with the Soul King,

would condemn this world to its end.

How pathetic.

If we defeat Yhwach, the world will crumble...

I'm completely aware of that.

Then why...?

But...

Kurosaki might say this...

I'm still going to take you down.

I know the people who have always protected this world.

You are trampling on the very thing they want to protect.

There are countless lives I want to protect.

I want to protect their feelings and all that they hold dear.

If that means destroying the world, then so be it...

Here I come.

Getsuga Jujisho!

Have you realized it yet?

Even if you people can win against His Majesty,

now that the Soul King is gone,

do you realize what will be necessary to preserve

the world as you know it?

Even that didn't work...

Ichigo...

My son born in the darkness...

You might be ignorant,

but you understand everything instinctually.

And because you understand everything,

you hesitate to take me down.

Ichibe Hyosube...

Everything is happening exactly according to his plan.

He took you in, Ichigo Kurosaki...

and gave you the Soul King's memories and explained everything.

He did it to judge whether Ichigo Kurosaki

was worthy of existence.

You are a miracle.

You are human, Soul Reaper,

Hollow, Fullbringer, and Quincy.

You likely never thought about the true essence of your powers...

Why do you clad yourself in black?

Black is the color of chaos...

Chaos is the power of the Soul King.

Black—the color without color—

is nothing less than the Soul King's Spiritual Pressure.

And the one who controls that black is Ichibe Hyosube.

I'm sure he said to you, "Protect the Soul King."

I'm sorry... So sorry...

You're the only one being taken for a different reason.

Are you a vessel capable of withstanding

the power that fills it,

or are you a bowl that shatters?

I was able to receive a tiny bit of your power to restore my own body.

Please protect the Soul King, Ichigo!

I will tell you his true intent.

Ichibe Hyosube intended to install you as the next Soul King.

No way!

He was going to make you a figurehead

whose only purpose is to preserve the Three Worlds,

So a world with Soul Reapers as the pinnacle would be maintained.

That is Ichibe Hyosube's vision of "peace."

For you, it may as well be "death."

So what?

So what?

What?

It's just...

I figured that's what Kurosaki would say.

Why does it matter if I become the Soul King or not?!

What I know right now, is...

Unless I take you down, I'll have nothing to protect!

Yhwach!

What the hell is that monster?

He's so strong, he made you pee your pants a little, Hachi!

I haven't peed my pants.

Too easy!

Is this all you Thirteen Court Guard Squad captains can muster

against my Miracle?

I can already barely sense your faint Spiritual Pressure.

It'll be like stepping on ants in the sand.

It's close to impossible...

That is exactly why I can find you!

Did you think I wouldn't be able to find you because it's impossible?

It's a "Miracle" because the impossible becomes possible!

We weren't listening to you earlier,

so your "Miracle" is just gibberish to us, baldy!

I am not bald!

What kinda comeback was that?!

Are you being serious?!

You think I'd fall for that?!

Nah, I didn't. Not if it was just me.

Sakanade.

The world flipped!

Everything's upside-down.

Now, everybody!

I'll let you hear the Tritone

Tekken Tachikaze!

Super Mashiro Kick!

Chocolate Bar Slider!

Hifuki no Kozuchi!

Nijuichijo Tonbokudari!

It's over.

We did it...

Boy, oh boy...

It'll never end at this rate.

Oh, I know...

I'll just drop this entire area

along with them all.

I can't allow you to let them fall.

Stay frozen here forever.

Who said that?

Captain of Squad 10 of the Thirteen Court Guard Squads,

Toshiro Hitsugaya.

Is that so?

I am Stern Ritter Gerard Valkyrie of the Royal Guards.

Let's be friends!

Sorry.

I didn't come here to be friends.

Bankai.

Daiguren Hyorinmaru.

Shiro...

I see...

What a childish answer...

Kurosaki!

So it falls on the father

to correct the child's error, I suppose.

He's so fast...

I can't follow Kurosaki's movements...!

Kurosaki, wait!

Calm down for a second!

I don't understand...

Why rush to your death?

Are you reluctant to show me all of your power?

Are you afraid I'll take it, if you show it to me?

But is that all right, Ichigo?

If you die here,

both the World of the Living and Soul Society are done.

I will end them.

Are you okay with that, Ichigo?

Look.

Your friend is saying that must not happen.

She's telling you to heal your wounds and fight.

You never had a choice to begin with.

Answer, Ichigo!

To the voices of the powerless.

For the weak...

who, without you... can barely breathe.

Stand up.

Fight.

And die!

Thanks, Inoue.

Sure!

I barely grabbed your clothes... but you stopped, Kurosaki.

When you looked back,

I didn't see the face of a person who had lost himself.

I knew you had something in mind.

Yeah...

There was a guy I wanted to wake up

by pumping in some Quincy Spiritual Pressure.

His sword...

is turning white...

I see...

So that's what you were trying to do.

Okay, now for the finishing move.

It couldn't even stop him for a moment...

He's a tough bastard.

Did you think you could stop me with these ice tricks?

That saved me...

I don't like The Miracle,

but it's powerful.

Agreed.

He's a difficult opponent to take on one-on-one.

Let me help.

Understood.

Given the difference in height,

two against one wouldn't be cowardly...

Why are you looking at me like that?

You wanna say that I'm always at a height disadvantage?

No, of course not...

That's...not my intent.

- Sorry. - Then why'd you apologize?!

You hesitated, and then apologized anyway!

Look at me!

What's this?

Captain classes all got obliterated together?

So pathetic!

- Here comes trouble... - Here comes trouble...

My...my right hand!

Is stronger!

What's that? What just happened?!

That's his power.

Any injured area on his body grows bigger and stronger.

I see.

That means he wasn't this big from the start.

What?

If you've got something to say, just say it!

I don't.

You're being hyper-sensitive.

How fun!

Let's find out what happens if we dice him up into pieces!

That idiot!

What do you think you're doing?

You woulda been sliced in two if I hadn't held back!

You're more considerate than I thought.

Now put a little more thought into it...

Huh? What are you talking about?

What will happen if we make him any bigger, and he falls?

Nothing.

I'll fall with him and slice him up on the way down.

If someone with all that mass falls from this height,

Seireitei will be destroyed!

Stop with the quibbling!

So in other words, I just have to stop toying with him

and go straight to cracking his head open, right?

Zaraki!

You made me fall over.

You're strong...

I hate to be cruel, but you leave me no choice.

A powerful embodiment of darkness such as yourself

shall become rust on my Hoffnung.

Can't believe I couldn't cut you.

A tough shield and a tough body, huh?

Makes me wanna cut you even more.

Drink...

Nozarashi.

What is that?

His Shikai?

When did Zaraki...?

So, his sword wasn't a constant-release type.

No...

Perhaps a constant-release type

never existed in the first place...

You fool!

You chipped my Hoffnung!

Senbonzakura Kageyoshi.

Hyoryusenbi...

Zekku!

Do you wish that badly for despair?

What's this? What's happening?

What's puzzling you?

My power is The Miracle.

The Miracle turns the people's wishes into reality.

My indestructible body is enlarged by the people's fears.

Hoffnung is forged from the hopes of the people.

When it shatters, there will be despair!!

I am Gerard Valkyrie!

I am a miracle, and miracles are what I am.
