MAYURI KUROTSUCHI'S PRIVATE LAB REINFORCED WITH FLOODLIGHTS What's happening?

MAYURI KUROTSUCHI'S PRIVATE LAB REINFORCED WITH FLOODLIGHTS

MAYURI KUROTSUCHI'S PRIVATE LAB REINFORCED WITH FLOODLIGHTS Massive Spiritual Pressure approaching from above!

Massive Spiritual Pressure approaching from above!

W-What was that?!

Something's coming through the Soul Shield Membrane!

It's covering up the Seireitei!

Damn it!

Jakuho...

Raikoben!

Hurry!

I am, but...!

What the hell are these things?!

What the hell...?

It's trying to bite me!

We must protect the lab!

- Kazeshini! - Hozukimaru!

Fujikujaku!

These things are anything but beautiful!

Senbonzakura.

Impossible!

How pathetic...

You're...!

Why waste time swatting them with a sword

when you can crush them...

using your Spiritual Pressure?

I put my hands together and pray

Why is fate so cruel?

My will to put on a brave face is about to break

Everything I do seems to go wrong, you know?

Oh, calm down, I still have faith in you

Even if we're apart

Even if you forget about me someday

BLEACH: THOUSAND-YEAR BLOOD WAR

We don't need words to understand each other

We're connected on a higher level

I'm sorry, fate, but you're full of it

So let's laugh it off by putting on a brave face

With you, I think we can alter fate

On lonely nights when I feel like crying

I will pray for you

so that I won't leave you all alone

It's been a while, Rukia Kuchiki.

Congratulations on your promotion to lieutenant.

I'm glad you were rewarded for your distinguished service.

Aizen...! What are you doing here?

My sentence was lifted.

Impossible! Under whose authority?!

Me.

Captain Kyoraku?!

I'm sure you're wondering why, so I'll just say it.

It's because I decided that we needed his help.

But...!

Captain Kyoraku, you can't be serious!

You're okay with that?!

I can't go along with using this guy's help!

Agreed.

Considering what he's done, it's utterly unacceptable.

What a disgrace!

Is this about defending your own honor?

Well, let me tell you something about the Court Guards.

Honor won't help us protect the world.

And if you ask me, I do not believe using evil to defeat evil

is itself an evil act.

Seems the matter has been settled...

Now how about removing the restraints from my hands

and letting me out of this chair?

No can do.

Good grief...

You expect me to get rid of them while sitting down?

I'm pretty sure you can pull it off.

You give me too much credit.

Right now I don't have that kind of power.

I wasn't talking about whether you have the power or not.

I just figured that you're not the kind of guy

to just sit quietly and watch while these eyeball monsters

try to gnaw at your body. That's all.

You truly are a piece of work.

Thanks.

Run for it! Retreat back to the lab!

Hado Number 90...

Kurohitsugi.

Kyoraku. You do realize that your act of freeing Aizen

is an insult to all of us.

Yeah, I know...

Go ahead and beat me up all you want.

After we protect the Seireitei, that is.

Unbelievable...

A Kurohitsugi without incantation to cause this much destruction...

He may have become more powerful than when he fought Kurosaki.

Are you saying he got stronger

even while he was detained in Muken?

Damn monster!

What do you know...

It's still intact despite being struck by my Kurohitsugi.

Not surprising given that

it's built the same way as the cross in Muken.

It's quite a chair.

We must destroy the canopy.

That won't be necessary.

The gravity from Kurohitsugi created a fissure in the canopy.

All I need is to strike it with my Spiritual Pressure

and it will collapse.

Those things earlier were a torrent of Yhwach's power.

They likely poured out while trying to absorb the Soul King's power.

What makes you say that?

Can't you sense the change in Yhwach's Spiritual Pressure?

It means even the Quincy King

will need time to fully contain the Soul King's power.

Are you serious?

Urahara! Isn't there any way to head to the Royal Palace?

There is. But we need—

That, too, will not be necessary.

If you have business at the Royal Palace,

I will shoot it down for you.

Shoot down the Royal Palace?!

No way! Is that even possible?!

It's useless.

Those restraints doesn't eliminate your Spiritual Pressure.

It only keeps it near your body.

But its power to restrain it is immensely strong.

You’re looking at the embodiment of Soul Society technology.

Have some respect.

Isn't that right, Captain Kurotsuchi?

Those restraints were never designed

to eliminate Spiritual Pressure.

All of our efforts were spent on

restraining Spiritual Pressure along with the body.

I control the extent.

Did you really believe your power exceeded my technology?

How naïve of you, Sosuke Aizen.

I don't care if you can shoot the Royal Palace down or not.

However, it would be humiliating for me to see you do such a thing

while in my restraints.

In that case, how about setting it to maximum?

Let's see which is superior; your technology or my power—

Sorry, but I've thoroughly observed your Spiritual Pressure.

I don't know if it's because of that black suit of yours...

but your Spiritual Pressure is full of holes.

As long as I can measure its distribution...

I can poke the holes and strip you naked!

Especially on someone that can't move.

It's easier than ripping the legs off a chicken!

No way, you're still conscious? You really are a monster.

Bastards...!

No matter.

I neutralized your Spiritual Pressure.

You won't be able to move for a while.

We can't have you shoot down the Royal Palace.

Just sit tight and watch.

Oh, great. What a perfect time for the enemies to show up.

Urahara.

You guys get started on building the gate to the Royal Palace.

We'll handle things out here.

Good luck. We'll do our best as well.

I'm surprised you're still alive, zombie girl.

I guess it takes a zombie to control another zombie.

Say, Quincies!

We agree with you about not wanting the Royal Palace shot down.

Perhaps you've come to help us?

Of course not.

We can't have the Royal Palace shot down

while His Majesty is still there.

Right, of course.

Then I guess we have no choice but to fight.

Do you think you can take us on?

I've already observed all of you, so my—

B-Bazz-B...what...?

I'm confused.

We'll give you a hand.

The Wandenreich exists in the shadows of the Seireitei.

Like you, we can't have the Royal Palace fall

and destroy the Seireitei.

And that's why you're helping us? You expect us to believe that?

I didn't ask you to believe us.

Nor did I say it was without a price.

I'm saying we want something in return.

A cease-fire. We won't get in your way.

Or let the other Stern Ritters either.

In return, take us with you to the Royal Palace.

We're going to go kill Yhwach...

for abandoning us!

I see.

TORRENT OF THE SOUL KING'S POWER

The guy is just doing whatever he wants...

Head Captain. We're ready to send word throughout the Seireitei.

Thanks.

Attention all members of the 13 Court Guard Squads.

All able personnel please report immediately to

the site of the Department of R&D.

I repeat... Attention all members of the 13 Court Guard Squads.

You okay?

Easy now...

Yes, sir...

You're in pretty bad shape yourself, Tenth Seat Kurumadani.

This is nothing. Now, c'mon!

I repeat...

"INCOMING MESSAGE"

"INCOMING MESSAGE" Attention all members of the 13 Court Guard Squads.

Attention all members of the 13 Court Guard Squads.

All able personnel please report immediately to

the site of the Department of R&D.

Shino...

Yeah?

You can let go now...

And just leave you behind? No way!

I can walk...

on my own.

Ow!

Keep up, okay?

Ah...

I need all of your help...

I need to borrow your Spiritual Pressure!

Captain!

Where's Yachiru?

Our men are out looking for her, but still no word...

Move.

The other officers will find her faster

than if you went yourself, Captain Zaraki.

Most importantly, your power is absolutely necessary

to build the gate.

You should be focusing on the task at hand.

Am I wrong, Captain Zaraki?

You're right.

Our guys can probably find her faster.

Everyone...

Thank you all for gathering.

The enemy has ascended to the Royal Palace...

and it appears that Yhwach has stolen the Soul King's power.

That's right. The Soul Society,

no, the whole world, is on the brink of destruction.

At the moment,

we do not know the status of Ichigo's group or Squad Zero.

That leaves us with one mission...

to stop Yhwach at all costs.

Do you understand?

Past grudges are irrelevant now.

This is our fight.

What is it that you risk your lives for?

Only if we protect the world will there be

a path for the Court Guards.

So let's protect this world...

in the name of the 13 Court Guard Squads!

We're about to create a gate

that connects this place with the Royal Palace.

In other words...

we will be storming the Royal Palace.

Okay! Are you damn Soul Reapers ready?!

Hiyori?!

What the hell are you doing here?

We're here cuz you forced us to run your damn errands, remember?!

Stop asking dumb questions, you damn baldy!

Huh? I ain't bald, so I don't know what you're talkin' about!

Yeah, yeah, whatever!

I'll ignore the loud one with the bowl cut!

Hear that, Soi Fon? She's ignoring you.

This is not a bowl cut. I'll kill you.

Here goes!

It doesn't feel wet...

This substance formed from the distortion between

the Soul Society, the Precipice World, and the World of the Living.

It is the source of energy we'll need

to head into the Royal Palace.

It's done.

Good.

Love, Lisa, Hachi, Hiyori...

You'll find your Shihakusho in the autopsy room.

Go get changed so you can join us.

Huh? Wha—!

- Got it. - Hey!

I haven't agreed to anything yet!

Let go of me, Love!

Stop your whining.

Rose, Shinji, and Kensei are putting their lives on the line.

We can't just leave like it's none of our business.

Wow...!

You can move already?

To say I can "move" would be a bit misleading.

Now's your chance to kill me.

You're kidding, right?

If it were that easy, I'd have killed you ages ago.

Seriously...

You got struck by that attack

while having your Spiritual Pressure suppressed...

and all it did was immobilize you for five minutes or so.

I almost feel sorry for that fallen Quincy over there.

That was the first time I've ever been immobilized for five minutes.

There's no reason for you to feel bad for him.

Good point...

Well, if you're not in top shape yet,

then do me a favor and stay put for a while...

until the gate's ready.

We can only use this method

while Kurosaki has torn a hole in the membrane.

There might not be a way to return.

Seriously?

You're telling us this now?

I'm sorry. Please don't get so worked up.

That's not it!

Your disrespect for assuming we would cower

if you had told us the truth...

is what upsets me, Kisuke Urahara!

You were once a member of the 13 Court Guards.

You should know better!

We all feel the same way about fighting for the Court Guards.

Respect? Fighting for the Court Guards?

I don't care about any of that or if we can get back or not.

All I care about is to go and crush those bastards.

So stop wasting our time.

Let's go already.

You're right.

Let's get going... together.

Soul Reapers and Quincies joining forces...

So they can protect the Soul Society together?

No...

It's because they happen to share a common goal...

to catch up and destroy the very enemy you're going after.

Ironic...

that the one who stopped me...

would enter the Royal Palace before me.

You really are an insufferable man...

Ichigo Kurosaki.

Ishida...!

Kurosaki...

Inoue...

Thank goodness...

Inoue!

You okay, Inoue?!

Y-Yeah...

I'm just a bit hungry, that's all.

What?

Ichigo...

Orihime's been healing everyone without any breaks.

She fixed my arm, and your severe injuries, too.

I see...

Did Ishida really...

Yeah...

So he really did betray us?

Kon?

Kon was the real hero.

When you came falling,

Kon inflated his body to act as a cushion and...

Kon...

Rest in peace.

Don't go killing me off!

Wait, you're still alive?

Damn right! You should be grateful, Ichigo.

It's a good thing I hid inside your clothes just in case.

I see. So you were hiding, huh?

Stop! Or I'll go muscle mode and beat—

- Thanks. - What?

Wrong line!

You're supposed to beat me up

so I can gain sympathy to boost my popularity!

Do it! Come on, Ichigo!

Now then...

Ready to mount a counterattack?

We need to move quick.

It's been a while since

the Soul King's Spiritual Pressure got consumed.

No telling when this area,

or the world itself, will start falling apart.

Yeah, but...

First, we need to figure out how to get back up there.

We can't get close without being seen.

We'll be sitting ducks.

We won't need to worry about that.

Open it!

The way that space is opening up...

You're...

Hey. It's been a while, Kurosaki.

Grimmjow!

An ache upon an unsatisfying grayscale

My confidence vanishes

I turned regret into lies

I ignored our chipped blades

I worked overtime just for maintenance

But I knew all along

that this faded color was an irreversible law

So I might as well pray

There's no turning back now

I thought I had made up my mind

but I'm still haunted by doubt and anxiety

A bundle of emotions torn to shreds

with nothing left for me to gain

What's more important than one's life

is to shoulder that burden to sever this monochrome

I keep searching for the answer to an unsolvable thesis

while making choices until I die

Then I remember where we came from

and the lives that could never interact

No one is allowed to use the scale since it falls apart in an instant

So, what can I measure ourselves against?

Instead, I hold onto your words

that gave my heart meaning

It's always a paradox

The moon waxes with each regret and sadness

The massive, unconquerable foe is the darkness that dwells within me

I forsook my pride and joy

but I am still confounded by this flock of imperfection

Beyond that white and resentful midnight sun

awaits an illusion etched in black

It looks like it's over.

His Majesty has taken every last bit of the Soul King.

The Soul King is gone now.

From here on... it is a new world.

"My claws..."

"will grind you up."
