Ishida...!

Kurosaki...

- Kurosaki! - You okay, Ichigo?

Ishida...

Looks like the cast is here.

That's...!

You're in luck, Uryu Ishida.

Fate is leaning in your favor.

Now prove yourself.

If you say you are not a traitor,

then prove it by killing them right here, right now.

I know what you're going to say...

I can foresee it, Uryu Ishida.

What's up with his eyes?!

They're the same as Yhwach's...!

Why are you doing this, Ishida?

Doing as he says and fighting us...

Is that really what you wanted?!

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

Emperor Yhwach is not the savior of the Quincies.

To heal his wounds from the war a thousand years ago,

the tyrant Yhwach used Auswählen to take away

the powers and lives of our Quincy brethren

all so he could increase his powers.

I became convinced.

Yhwach will never forgive the world that has forsaken the Quincies.

He will return...

to put an end to this loathsome world.

As Quincies who live in the World of the Living,

we have a responsibility.

When the time comes, we must stop him.

On our honor as a Quincy, we must protect this world...

We must protect the people we love.

That is why...

I approached Yhwach

and demonstrated my power

to elude the watchful eyes around me,

and now...

Getsugatensho!

Hey, it looks like His Majesty is asleep.

Not our problem.

Gotta hand it to you...

former Supreme Commander of the Stealth Force.

You're fast. Very fast.

But I'm pretty fast myself.

You don't listen, do you? I'm-

...already immune to it, right?

Too easy...!

Is this all that the 13 Court Guard Squads

can do against "The Miracle"?

It is a miracle indeed.

The fact that you were unable to crush a wounded girl

is nothing short of a miracle.

That's not what you call a miracle.

If the 13 Court Guard Squads isn't enough for you...

then the Visoreds will show you a real miracle!

I'm not going.

I haven't even said anything!

Even if we go out there, there's nothing we can do.

I know that!

You're saying that we ought to keep our promise

to Ichigo, right?

That too, but also...

because we're heading down.

Huh? Down?

- We're here. - What?

"WELCOME TO KUKAKU SHIBA'S RESIDENCE"

Where are we?

What are we supposed to do here?

Hey... What is that?

What is going on? What's coming down?!

Good grief... What are they doing?

W-What is that thi-?!

You killed him! Killed him!

What a screechy bunch of birds.

It's annoying.

Makes this new hole ache.

What? Who are you?

A dead man.

Say...

you're okay being enrolled in a normal school like ours?

What do you mean?

Well, you know...

Shouldn't you be going to a school for smarter kids?

I mean...

don't doctors' kids want to become a doctor themselves?

Isn't your father a doctor too?

Oh, well... My dad's, you know...

just some dude with a beard.

I have no intention of being a doctor anymore.

What do you mean, "anymore"?

Did you want to before?

If you don't want to talk about it, it's okay.

That's right.

That day, I decided I would never be a doctor.

If being a doctor means having to cut apart your dead wife...

then I don't want to be one.

This time, you're going to tell me,

Ishida...

The reason why you chose to take the Quincies' side...

and why you're trying to fight us.

What are you going to do if I tell you?

If your reason makes sense,

I'll fight you or whatever you want and beat some sense into you!

And if it doesn't?

Beat some sense into you, duh?!

You're going to hit me either way.

What is wrong with you?

This is a Sun Key.

It's issued to every Stern Ritter.

Holding it up to a metal plate called the Gate of the Sun

allows you to travel between other gates

located across Wahr Welt.

Five levels down from here,

there is a Gate of the Sun that was set up

to invade the World of the Living.

Use that to return to the World of the Living.

I'm staying here to take down Yhwach along with Wahr Welt.

Damn it, Ishida!

Why didn't you just ask us to fight together!

That's how we did things!

I knew you'd say something like that...

That's why I came here without telling you guys.

All we gotta do is defeat Yhwach, right?!

It can't be done.

There's no way for you to defeat Yhwach.

So why does it have to be you, then?!

It's something that only I can do!

Something that only I,

who inherited my Master's and Mom's blood, can do.

Ishida....

I've thought this through thoroughly.

Now go.

Before Haschwalth catches on.

I don't understand.

Before I catch on? When would that be?

I thought I told you.

I foresaw what you were going to say...

Uryu Ishida.

Kurosaki, I'll hold him off here.

Hurry to the Gate of the Sun.

Damn it, Ishida...

Hurry!

You can still make it!

Weren't you listening?!

I told you.

I foresaw what you were going to say.

I have already destroyed the Gate of the Sun

that leads to the World of the Living.

Let's end this, Uryu Ishida.

Before His Majesty awakens.

Looks like we're going to have to do this, Ishida.

Kurosaki...

Wait...

Before His Majesty awakens.

Of course...!

Kurosaki, did you notice that his eyes

are the same as Yhwach's?

Yeah.

He and Yhwach's powers are swapped only while Yhwach is asleep.

Exactly.

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

Yhwach is at the uppermost level of Wahr Welt.

Head up there, Kurosaki!

Ishida...

Are you still going to stay here?

If he possesses Yhwach's powers, all the more reason why we should-

Stop talking and get going!

It's not like these will be my last words.

You're not even pretending to go after them.

Are you sure?

Stop making me repeat myself.

I can foresee everything.

They will die. There is no reason to pursue them.

Is that so?

However...

The future can be changed, right?

You surprise me, Uryu Ishida.

You look completely different from the man you were earlier.

You seem so full of hope now.

I see...

Setting aside whether or not I am full of hope,

the fact that you're surprised...

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

Looks like that power is far from being almighty

when it's with you.

I'm surprised that a pass key from decades ago still works.

We should thank your old man's quick thinking

to bring that with him when he was banished.

You're right.

For the first time,

I'm grateful for having a father with sticky fingers.

You know your son talks bad about you

because you talk about your own father that way, right?

I thought you were supposed to be asleep...

Damn it...

too bad...

we couldn't kill you...

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

"Quincy Daten."

Flip.

Glug, glug, glug...

They both may be coffee with milk...

but making café au lait

is totally different from making caffe latte.

Balance is the key here.

Make even the slightest mistake and the flavor is ruined.

Speaking of, weren't Soul Reapers used to be called Balancers?

It looks like most people don't know about it anymore.

All I can say is, that these guys...

are making a fatal mistake.

STERN RITTER "D" - ASKIN NAKK LE VAAR

Oh, right!

I was told to keep my pessimism just to the main story.

Sorry, that was a fatal mistake!

Oh, and let's turn off the background music.

Okay, then let's begin our first lesson, shall we?

"Yhwach's Original Royal Guards."

We'll start off with the members

who served as His Majesty's Royal Guards

during his first invasion against the Soul Society

a thousand years ago.

Johan Seydlitz...

Hubert Alexander Kleich...

Argola Lallau...

and Nikita Deslock.

These four.

The Daten also had something of a relationship chart.

But man, talk about complicated...

Not that it really matters to me.

But even these scary people

got killed by the Soul Reapers a thousand years ago.

Granted, I heard the other side also had

their share of ridiculously scary people, too.

Whoa!

Well? Did you all learn something new today?

No? Well, then...

you've made a fatal mistake!

"Insensitive."

Yoruichi Shihoin...

Man, she's all worked up. Talk about scary...

I mean, yes, she is a beauty, that's for sure.

And her younger brother Yushiro was ridiculously strong, too.

Give me a break, will you?

So as you can tell, I'm sadly in the middle of a fight right now.

But there are way too many disturbing moments

that makes me cringe.

"If they can't move, why not just strangle them to death?"

So cringey...

Those look nice for training, but to hit people with it?

So cringey...

I don't care for the Soul Reapers

but to tell them to kill themselves?

So cringey...

"I'm starving."

So cringey...

Being stylish win high points from me.

But to blow a fuse all of a sudden...?

So cringey...

I find him very annoying.

Wish he was dead.

We oddly share the same opinion today.

I agree with you guys.

If we all agree, there's nothing left to discuss!

Come on, what did I say to deserve that?

No, wait...I know, I know.

I'm aware that my tendency to talk too much is one of my fatal flaws.

Now then, did our viewers out there have a good time?

We're almost done filling up the time asked by the Producer.

Then, let me close by saying...

You better continue watching,

or you'll be making a fatal mistake!
