WARNING
What is it?
Border Intensity reading is at plus 1.02!
Why did it fluctuate so suddenly?!
How should I know?
It has to mean that something is forcibly expanding
the border's surface.
W-What's happening?!
The most likely possibility is...
Captain Ukitake's power is weakening.
Akon, if this continues...
I know!
The three worlds will cease to exist.
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
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.
I am Gerard Valkyrie!
I am a miracle and miracles are what I am!
I don't know what the hell he's talking about,
but I do know that he's got an ability
that goes against all reason.
Is that right?
Well then, all I gotta do is kill you
without breaking the sword, right?
You're a naïve bastard, giving me the solution yourself!
You're gonna regret that!
I'm telling you in order to fill the enormous gap in our powers.
You're a naïve bastard, if you didn't realize that!
You will regret that!
I'm getting the feeling these two are alike...
You dodged! How about that...
You're faster than you look!
You're not so bad yourself.
I was going to crush you in my hand...
You're nimble!
Guncho Tsurara!
You pest!
You are not my opponent!
What the hell are you doing, Zaraki?!
That's my line!
Stay out of this!
Get your asses out of here!
You bastard...
Let it go.
You're wasting your breath.
Zaraki can't be reasoned with either.
I know.
But we can't go on ahead without Zaraki.
This guy's not an opponent Zaraki can beat by himself.
If you want proof, look...
Zaraki's already taken his eye patch off!
He instinctively knows...
this isn't someone he can beat with his eye patch on.
Many of the Ice Flowers have fallen already.
It's understandable.
We're all exhausted.
I guess we're all running out of time...
Kuchiki.
I'll find an opportunity and freeze that giant.
Use your Senbonzakura to pulverize him.
Given what I've gathered,
I should be able to freeze him to the bone at maximum output.
But it's going to take some time.
So I need your help.
Understood.
What's the matter?
Your sword is losing its power.
Well, of course it is!
Fighting me without chipping my sword
was impossible to begin with!
In a fight, swords chip,
and "despair" will be carved into your body!
You are relentless!
I applaud your spirit!
But spirit cannot fill in the gap between our powers!
I see you, Byakuya Kuchiki!
And...
Toshiro Hitsugaya!
You are planning to catch me off guard...
I see it all!
I am the biggest, strongest, and fastest Quincy!
I am the warrior that was bestowed everything!
Don't think you can outwit me!
Whatcha doing?
Hey...
Whatcha doing, Kenny?
Yachiru...
C'mon, get up.
Let's keep going, let's keep going!
C'mon!
Yachiru...
Where have you been all this time?
Kenny...
If you use me properly, there's nobody you can't cut!
What was that?
What did you just do?
This power...
See?
You don't know anything, Kenny!
The name of that power is...
Bankai, okay?
What's happening?
Is this Zaraki?!
This Spiritual Pressure...
No way, was that Captain Zaraki's...?!
Is that...?
Look.
Zaraki's skin has...
...turned red.
A sudden rise in Spiritual Pressure...
I thought it might be your Bankai,
but I see no significant change at all...
What a total letdown.
Surely you don't expect me to believe
that broken blade is your Bankai?
You bore me, Kenpachi Zaraki.
It would be a waste to swing Hoffnung
when your blade is broken.
I shall smash you into oblivion!
Foolishness!
I've told you, ripping off my arm is meaningless!
Impossible!
My shield!
Th-This can't be happening.
What is this power?!
Damn it!
He kicked him off!
Impossible!
Impossible, impossible, impossible!
A Soul Reaper pushing me to the brink?
This absurdity cannot be happening!
Not running away is the pinnacle of stupidity!
Turn to ash and perish!
Did the Captain get him?!
He's incredible...
A miracle...
Captain Hirako!
Allow me to assist you now!
Momo...
Never mind me...
See to them instead.
Huh?
Kuchiki!
Abarai!
All right then, I'm counting on you, okay?
Zara...
So... you don't think we should go near him?
That look on his face...
is proof it will be more difficult
to get through to him than usual...
What?!
Huh?!
What's going on?!
No way!
That monster...
Damn it!
Kuchiki! Abarai!
Somehow, I managed to keep it from falling.
I am Ashtonig, The Noble Warrior of God.
The one who swings his sword for God, even in death!
Sorry about that, Kenny.
I released too much of your power.
Looks like your body couldn't handle it.
Z-Zaraki...
Are you still breathing?
K-Kuchiki...
Undo your Bankai, Captain Hitsugaya.
You are at your limit...
No... not yet.
Captain Hitsugaya...
I don't ever recall saying that it's over...
when all the Ice Flowers fall.
When the last Ice Flower has fallen...
That's when...
...Daiguren Hyorinmaru is finally complete.
My power isn't developed enough yet to have full command of Hyorinmaru.
I don't know if that's why, but...
when Daiguren Hyorinmaru's complete,
I become a little bit older.
I don't really like this form all that much, though.
Who the hell are you?
Toshiro Hitsugaya.
Is that your Bankai?
No... I thought you already released your Bankai.
How did you change your form even more?
Well, it doesn't matter!
Your present form makes you
a more worthy opponent than you were earlier!
Oh, is that right?
You've transformed and yet you still run away?!
Don't throw that gigantic thing.
I told you already—
It will be bad news if it falls on Seireitei.
You fool!
Have you forgotten?!
When Hoffnung is damaged...
If it's frozen, all matter ceases to function.
All of your "hope" has stopped functioning.
I see.
Well then...
I will crush you with a torrent of power...
without any supernatural functions!
A Quincy Bow?
That decision comes a bit too late.
Shikai Hyoketsu.
It freezes all earth, water, fire and wind...
in the space you've occupied within four steps
after releasing Daiguren Hyorinmaru.
If you had shot the Quincy Arrow within three steps or less,
you might have been able to hit me.
I will not freeze.
I am God's Warrior!
I cannot be bound by the elements of this world!
I will crush you, damn it!
What?!
Zaraki!
You bastard, what did you do to my leg?!
Do you think you'll come away from this unscathed,
touching me in this state?
I told you I cannot be frozen, Soul Reaper!
Senkei Senbonzakura Kageyoshi.
Ultimate technique...
Ikka Senjinka!
Kuchiki...
It seems your Bankai takes a heavy toll on your body...
but you're holding up better than I expected.
Good observation.
I'm almost at my limit.
What is that?!
He's still alive?!
W-what is that?!
Kuchiki! Abarai! You're alive!!
This is what became of the enemy you all were fighting!
He's a monster! Be careful!
Uh...
Who's that?!
Fool! Can't you tell by his voice?!
It's most likely Captain Hitsugaya's older brother!
Oh!
Nice to meet you!
Yes, that's right. Nice to meet you too.
You're playing along?
Go around that way, Renji!
Got it!
Ouch!
Renji. Rukia...
You two, go to where Ichigo Kurosaki is.
- Huh? - But Elder Brother...
Look at the Spiritual Pressure.
As you both must have noticed, he's already confronting Yhwach.
But...
Why do you hesitate?
Don't flatter yourselves.
I'm not saying that Kurosaki needs your help.
I'm saying your help is not needed here.
If you understand, go.
- Yes, Sir! Thank you! - Yes, Sir! Thank you!
Welcome back.
They saw right through your kind concern.
I meant for them to see through it from the start.
In any event...
I think it was the right decision.
They should be with Kurosaki.
I don't know if you attended the Academy or not, but...
I wasn't taught to fight for my superiors and family.
"All Soul Reapers ought to, without exception,"
"die protecting friends and humanity."
Kurosaki's our comrade,
but to them,
he's a friend.
If they are to fight as Soul Reapers,
it's only right that they join Kurosaki.
The scales of life and death, is it?
Such a Soul Reaper teaching.
Even if the situation were reversed,
they would have still gone to him.
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
WARNING
The circulation of souls is unstable!
WARNING
If this continues...
Hollows will overflow into the World of the Living.
We have our hands full over here with a bird monster!
We can't spare anyone to go to the World of the Living!
I...
I will go!
We were originally in charge of Karakura Town.
Protecting the people there...
is our job!
I don't know how much we can do, but...
we'll do the best we can.
Ouch!
Don't slap me like that, Shino!
Get a grip! If you say you're going to do it yourself,
say it like you mean it to the very end, Ryunosuke!
You're not alone.
Even if your spirit wavers 100 times,
I'll slap your back 101 times to encourage you.
Shino...
That's one too many, though––
Oh, shut up!
Lieutenant Okikiba!
We'll protect them...
Together!
Yes!
I see...
So that's what you were trying to do.
K-Kurosaki...
Hey.
I'm okay, Inoue.
I'm still me.
You look like a Hollow.
Is that the Hollow melded together with your power?
That's right.
Truth is...
He's melded together with my power,
so I should be able to call him out at will.
But I'm still not good at it at all, so...
I used your power to help me.
Kurosaki, when did you get in front of Rikka?
Stay back, Inoue.
I'm going to make some more room.
Okay!
Such a magnificent power.
All right then.
I will draw my sword and take you on.
How weak.
Did you think you could kill me with this?
Getsugatensho, eh?
It's the same thing!
No! This isn't Getsugatensho.
It's Getsugatensho mixed with...
a Gran Rey Cero!
There's nothing I can do. I just want power...
The power to protect. That is all I want...
