Where am I?
I can't see a thing...
What is this place?
THE CALAMITY
I've lived my way full of shame
"Envy" comes from the ways of the eventual end
The ambiguous balance
I want to cut ties at once
It's too late to back down now
Before this senile body dies
My shadow will fade away soon, but
Even if I disappear, my journey won't stop
Uncertain days, certain endings
My stories fill the in-betweens
Beyond the wall blocking my way, there is a calm morning
Like the rising sun, I stand with the wind at my back
A burst of hope?
Break through an endless night
Show the sun waiting at the end of darkness
The promise is yet to be fulfilled
but I stand in solitude not to let it go
At the moment, I'm connecting numerous lights
to form a constellation that paves tomorrow
Even if the rain clouds hide the night sky away
there certainly is a flame in my heart
God is no longer reliable
I glance up towards the silver lining
The destiny of bursting fate
BLEACH: THOUSAND-YEAR BLOOD WAR
Expend all of your power and die, Ichigo!
Santenkesshun!
Shitenkoshun!!
The power of rejection, eh?
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 cut you down.
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 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... I'm 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?
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 parent
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.
Retracing memories
An unexpected gaze
The world I didn't want
I've started breaking it down
Lean on each other and face forward
I want to change my fate
All the voices shout
The sound rang out
I saw countless scattered shadows
and I laughed
A world that's lost its color
I'll illuminate it again
Broken and lamenting
The end of the dream
Shaking free from it over and over again with a still-connected heart
I'll protect today, the path I've walked all this time
Break it
Tear the future apart, call my name
Turn your back on your predetermined past
Today keeps playing with fate
Reclaim it here and now
To the ends of the earth, an unseen dream
With eyes that know the strength that lies in words
Notice the distorted spiral
My fate has been set in motion
BLEACH: THOUSAND-YEAR BLOOD WAR
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 getting 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.
I will transform...
This life of mine.
