The Seireitei's topographic map following the Wandenreich invasion

is coming on-screen.

42% of our forces are still alive, including the injured.

Our active military strength is estimated to be less than 30%.

Damn it!

I can't believe they trampled over us in such a short time.

Well, they did take advantage of the chaos

to crush our chain of command.

What's the status of the captains?!

Squad 2 Captain Soi Fon is injured.

Lieutenant Omaeda is transporting her to the first-aid station.

Squad 10 Captain Hitsugaya's Spiritual Pressure

has disappeared after his last battle!

Lieutenant Matsumoto's condition is unknown.

Squad 11 Captain Zaraki is not responding to our hails…

Ignore Squad 11.

What about the rest?

Squad 3 Captain Ohtoribashi and Squad 9 Captain Muguruma are okay.

They are currently assessing the situation in the surrounding areas.

At this rate, the surviving squad members

will just be hunted down.

How pathetic!

Getting all worked up just because their superiors were killed…

Don't they know how to think and act for themselves?

POST INVASION – FORMER SQUAD 1 BARRACKS

Hey there, Captain Kurotsuchi!

Rejoice, Head Captain.

While you were busy sipping tea with the enemy,

our forces are down to 30%.

Unfortunately, I ran out of tea.

Just so you know, the enemy was about to sip on my blood.

Humph. If you're still alive, then do your job.

"FROM: KYORAKU"

I've put you through to all squad members.

But it's only 30%,

so even someone like you should be able to manage.

I appreciate your fair assessment of my capabilities.

Attention all squad members.

The enemy invasion has changed the topography.

The red symbols on the map

Regardless of your squad,

POST INVASION – NEAR FORMER SQUAD 8 BARRACKS

rendezvous at the nearest barracks

POST INVASION – NEAR FORMER SQUAD 6 BARRACKS

and get your orders from a senior officer.

POST INVASION – NEAR FORMER SQUAD 9 BARRACKS

Don't exhaust yourselves by continuing to fight on your own.

All right.

Time to regroup.

Oh, my darling, I don't even know where my heart has gone

And I've forgotten that dream I once had

Becoming an adult = keeping a public face and bluffing?

Tell me, what is reflected in the painted-over mirror?

Your photo is starting to fade

Leaving me, as I change

I'll shout at the top of my voice as it pierces through the night

Burning my chest, formless fear and all

It's okay if I can't laugh like that day

Sadness, scars, everything… I want to take them all with me

You can't kill my vibe, oh baby

Burning out now, like a shooting star

You can't kill my vibe, oh baby

Burning out now, like a shooting star

BLEACH: THOUSAND-YEAR BLOOD WAR

You got knocked out without anything to show for your training.

Such a pathetic lieutenant.

Are you with these boys?

Captain of Squad 9, Kensei Muguruma.

I'm the captain of the sleeveless one there.

A captain! How wonderful!

Ordinarily, you'd make an extremely worthy adversary,

but I'm afraid I'm on my way to investigate

an extremely conspicuous fallen object.

Come now, don't say that.

You have two captains you can take on.

I think we're quite excellent adversaries

if you want to make a name for yourself.

Oh?

In that case, come at me!

Don't worry, we won't take too much of your time.

Bankai!

Tekken Tachikaze!

Since you insist…

I'll finish you off in ten counts!

What the hell is this?

Unbelievable…

You're telling me that idiot lost to an attack like this?!

Hurts, doesn't it?

My Tachikaze is a Zanpakuto

that can cause its sword trajectory to explode.

And my Tekken Tachikaze is a Bankai

that crams the force of those explosions into my fists.

That explosive power…

…will assault you endlessly as long as my fist stays in contact with you.

Blast away!

Looks like he won't be needing any help from me.

N-No way…

You can't lose, Mister!

Mister!

Oh, great…

The enemy was so weak

that it's making us look like the bad guys here…

N-No, that's not it… Captain…!

Huh? Oh, you're awake.

You need to get rid of that little guy first!

Please get up, Superstar!

I am "S"!

"The Superstar," Mask De Masculine!

STERN RITTER "S" – MASK DE MASCULINE

Star Eagle Kick!

Star Headbutt!

Damn it!

Don't get cocky!

You can do it, Superstar!

That's not gonna work on me— not a bit!

You won't need a ten count.

M-Mister!

James!

Curses!

How dare you harm an innocent fan!

You dirty coward!

Loud and noisy guests are not welcome at my dance.

Kensei gave everything he had to create this opportunity.

I can't let it go to waste.

So let's raise the curtains.

Bankai.

Kinshara Butodan.

Kinshara Butodan is a dance troupe of death.

The price of admission is your life.

Tonight's first program…

"Sea Drift."

W-What is this?

Is this water?!

Now sing to the tune of the churning sea...

your song of pain and dread.

Very nice.

For the second program…

"Prometheus."

Impossible!

No Zanpakuto can manipulate both fire and water at the same time!

This must be some sort of deception!

That's right. My technique is deception.

But deceptions are what always captivate the hearts of others.

The boiling magma is the wrath of the earth.

Stomp to it with your despair…

I control "music."

The deceptive melody that echoes in your ears

will captivate your heart.

When your heart is captivated by my spell,

you will burn and breathe your last.

Now to play a fitting program for your end.

The third program…

"Ein Heldenleben"!

Covering your ears won't help…

Did you…rupture your eardrums?

The villain shall die by the hero's beam of light!

Hm?

Quite the vitality for a villain!

Unacceptable!

Die!

Did you just deflect my Star Flash?

Who are you supposed to be?!

A villain.

Rukia, take care of Captain Muguruma and Captain Ohtoribashi.

Let's not waste our time.

I'll take care of him by myself.

Understood.

He's no match for what you are now.

He's all yours.

Huh?

Are you sure you don't want to double-team me?

Villains are dirty cowards, after all,

so feel free to use any dirty means necessary.

Thanks.

In that case, I'll fight like a coward and defeat you.

You seem to have said something cool, but as you can see,

my eardrums are ruptured so I can't hear a thing!

Hey, James!

Yes, sir!

Cheer up!

Superstar!

Ah, that feels a lot better!

My eardrums are healed!

I can hear better than ever!

How's that, villain?

As a test, go ahead and say something.

James!

That was dirty, you bastard!

Didn't you know?

Villains are dirty cowards, after all.

Their Spiritual Pressures are growing weaker…

I need to hurry.

But there is nowhere to treat them without the enemy seeing us…

This Spiritual Pressure belongs to…!

POST INVASION – FORMER SQUAD 4 BARRACKS FIRST-AID STATION

Please bring them to me.

Someone give me a hand over here. Hurry!

Kuchiki!

Captain Muguruma and Captain Ohtoribashi are critically injured.

They need to be treated immediately.

A hero of justice shouldn't hide his face

like some petty masked thief.

Y-Y-Y-You can do it! Superstar!

You can do it, Superstar!

You can do it, Superstar!

My sacred mask…

How dare you scratch the soul of a masked man!

Star Power-up…complete!

Your time is over, villain!

You can die now!

Why does your mask change by powering up?

Special kill!

Star Lariat!

Star!

You can no longer rest your hand against a wall

or keep your feet on the ground!

Star Rocket Punch!

Star! Star! Star! Star!

Star Murder Punch!

Star, Star, Star, Star, Star, Star, Star, Star!

Star, Star, Star, Star, Star, Star, Star!

Star!

You will stay in the air like this forever!

And then…!

Die by the hands of the Superstar's divine power!

You will turn to dust, never to return to the ground!

You are so cool, Superstar!

Take this.

Star Flash…

Supernova!

Huh? Wait…

Super…star…?

Not to worry, James!!

You and I are one as star and fan!

As long as I'm alive,

you will eventually come back to life!

But more importantly…

Farewell, villain!!

A giant snake skull?

Is that his Bankai?

He must have activated it in his final moments,

out of desperation.

How pitiful.

What?

What is going on?

Is Bankai…supposed to change its form like that?!

"Hihio Zabimaru."

SQUAD ZERO RIDEN – HYOSUBE'S RIDEN

Renji, that name is a lie.

What? It's a lie?!

More precisely, that's only half of its name.

What's that supposed to mean?!

It means this one only partially acknowledges you.

You're kidding me, right?

But we've fought together for so long…

Wait…

How do you even know about all of this?

I came up with the name "Zanpakuto."

What…?

"Shikai" and "Bankai," as well.

I was the first to name every phenomenon

that occur in the Soul Society.

What…are you?!

The name given to me by the Soul King is "Manako Osho."

Huh?

It means "speaking the true name."

I'm going to tell you the true name of Zabimaru's Bankai.

You must prove your strength to Zabimaru

so you can summon it by that name!

Right here and now!

Bankai…

So-Oh Zabimaru.

That Bankai is dangerous…

It is.

It took a lot of hard work before I was able to speak that name.

At this moment, my soul is burning up in flames

with a sense of justice to defeat you!

Hihioh!

Th-This is nothing…!

You damn piece of shit!

How dare you crush a star's left arm!

You're gonna pay for this, you nobody!

I don't give a shit about justice or evil anymore!

You are so dead!

Orochioh.

So-Oh Zabimaru…!

Zaga Teppo!

Did you burn yourself out?

But that's what you wanted, right?

Superstar.

All at once, the lights went out

Reminding me

with a voice

and I cannot move

Unable to convey even a millimeter

of the lines that I dubbed

All lines that I don't want to forget

Rewound

Repeated

Became a mark

And I notice the dust

I wait and wait

But it won't start

If it's already ended

I give up

But can I

borrow your shoulder?

With that knife

that was left behind

Pierce it through

Still

in the middle of a dream,

We kept searching

For the scar that

the revolving world remembers

With just the strong desire

to keep on living

We'll choose a tomorrow that will not return

In just a little while

The final curtain will fall

Shining upon us

The blurred end roll

So James is dead…

You did well.

Now return…

Come back to me.

What just…?

His Majesty Yhwach is asleep.

Only while he sleeps can he return to being

the father of Quincies to build up his strength.

His sleep must not be interrupted.

But why are you here?

His Majesty and I are connected…

Or should I say, His Majesty is connected to all Quincies.

But you already know that.

Yes…

But do you know why His Majesty possesses such powers?

What sort of being His Majesty is?

I'm guessing not even your grandfather, Soken Ishida,

was able to figure it out.

I suppose I can tell you…

being that you are His Majesty's successor.

"There is no difference between living and being allowed to live."

"Just as there is no difference between dying and being killed."
