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
What happened?
Why are you so bewildered?
Jushiro?
Who else did you think it was?
Right!
Good point.
So, you came to see me?
Yhwach will probably annihilate the Three Worlds.
Using the power of the Soul King's right arm,
I was just barely able to prevent the collapse...
but that will end with my death.
That's most likely what will happen.
That's why I want to bet the last of my life on you...
for the sake of this world.
I appreciate the confidence,
but is there a chance of winning?
About the same chance of brazenly going out on a date
with Captain Unohana.
So, it's entirely possible.
You're right...
Let's protect this world.
I'll entrust my life to you.
Damn it, that's just not my style.
But you have no choice but to do it, right?
After all, you're now Head Captain of
the Thirteen Court Guard Squads.
You've got me there.
What's needed now is the strategy and resolve to command...
while honoring everyone's wishes...
I know.
You, more than anyone, know what's most important.
I'm going, Ukitake.
I'm counting on you, Head Captain!
Captain...
Shall we get going, Nanao?
This is as far as I can go.
Kurosaki...
I leave that in your hands!
Multiple layers of energy swirling in a vortex...
It puts the distortion below to shame.
It's exactly as Master wrote.
What is this room?
Indeed!
You guys!
Oh! Uryu Ishida!
Why are you here?
Weren't you in the World of the Living!
Weren't you?!
I should ask you— what are you doing here?
A lot happened.
When I went outside for a tiny look,
I got caught up in the black eyeballs...
and before I knew it, I was here!
And then, as I was wandering about...
You ran into us, right?
You're—!
We were very successful at rescuing Master Halibel, too!
It was successful, by the way!
Tier Halibel, and...
That mask...
Is that you, Nel?
This is the first time I've met you in this form,
isn't it, Uryu Ishida?
Surprised?
No, just a bit confused.
Be honest!
You were ogling Lady Nelliel, weren't you?
Stop making stuff up!
Uryu Ishida...
If you call yourself a Quincy, then answer me.
Who are you here for, and what do you seek?
Well, well...
Sounds like we're having a lot of fun.
This looks like it's going to be quite an unusual party.
Gate closure complete!
How's the border intensity?
It's shrunk to minus 0.1.
The expansion of the distortion is slowing.
All right... That's perfect.
We're getting multiple reports from Rukon District
of damage caused by Hollows! What should we do?
Nothing to be done.
That's irresponsible!
Our highest priority is to prevent the collapse of the world.
Our next step is to rush the analysis
of the Soul King's right arm.
If we can continue even after Captain Ukitake dies,
then that's enough.
"Even if he dies"?!
It's for Captain Ukitake's sake.
There's no "good" or "bad" here!
We Soul Reapers ensure balance.
Don't forget that.
Yes, Sir.
Understood.
Abandoning Rukon District will be a means to save Seireitei.
Maybe Rukon District existed just for this moment.
Arrancar?!
Don't panic... don't panic...
I told you, it's a party.
It's been quite a while, hasn't it?
I never thought I'd see your face again.
You took the words right out of my mouth, Soul Reaper.
I must say,
this is an ominous monstrosity you've got here.
What is this thing?
A vortex that will victimize this entire world, shall we say?
I see.
So then, this is where the distortion
that appeared in the Three Worlds started.
Would I be correct in assuming
this was the final objective of you Quincies, Uryu?
Exactly.
A single arrow set up by Yhwach before this war even began...
designed to trigger the collapse of the world.
And destroying this distortion is my duty as the last Quincy.
A part of the burden fell onto me...
In my hope for a world where Quincies are accepted...
and a yearning for absolute power,
I reached the end of my research...
A power that fuses souls of different species...
and creates souls of a much higher level
by disrupting their balance.
Unfortunately, I was unable to control that power...
and invited the collapse of the Three Worlds.
Then, I realized...
This seed of destruction was exactly
what the Quincy King had desired all along.
Once the seed of destruction is unleashed,
nothing can be done to stop it.
If there is a sliver of a possibility,
it would be to bring the seed of destruction
and the center of the distortion at the boundary of the worlds
into a direct collision,
possibly triggering mutual annihilation.
The problem is that the energy unleashed by that annihilation
will be unimaginable.
Even so, as one who lives in this world,
someone needs to do it...
I see...
So if the seed of destruction...
and the distortion spreading below collide,
we can make them both disappear?
And Yhwach's plans along with it, is that it?
It can't be that simple!
It's very simple.
If we can do that, we can save the world, right?
I understand what you're saying.
But how do we do it?
Have you thought this through carefully?
Well, Uryu Ishida?!
We can make them collide.
What?!
You intend to have the castle fall with it?
But how do we drop something with that much mass?
It's comprised of reishi.
I'll make it happen.
Can you do that alone?
I'm saying the destruction of the world
isn't your problem alone.
Get to the point, Halibel!
She's saying you're not alone...
and that we're here to help.
You, Arrancar?
You're friends with Ichigo, right?
It's not as simple as letting the castle fall.
In a worst case,
there's a possibly of fighting directly with Yhwach.
I'm the only one who can compete with his power.
Then all the more reason.
You should use that power to help Ichigo.
I can't guarantee you'll make it out alive.
I never asked for that.
You shouldn't say that to an Arrancar.
Understood.
Then I'll use your powers without reservation.
We'll lend a hand, too, of course.
Man, who'd have thought a day would come when
Soul Reapers, Quincies, and Hollows would fight together
to save the world.
You've grown up, Uryu Ishida!
I'm happy, by the way!
Wait, hold on!
Let the castle fall?
What about the people at the Royal Palace right now?
We're only letting this central tower fall.
What are those?
These were built using Quincy secret technology.
They can break down and scatter reishi...
Leiden Scherben.
Simply put... explosives.
We'll blast the five bridges extending from this central tower...
and separate it from the detached palace.
That was your plan from the beginning?
It was.
I have no intention of causing unnecessary damage.
We have to make this work, no matter what.
We've got this.
Our mission right now...
is to protect this world.
I understand your concerns, Nanao, but we'll be fine.
We won't "work it out."
We'll "make it work."
Captain?
I'll leave it to you.
I've got something else to do, okay?
I understand.
All right!
Let's draw our bows.
Have you given up already, Ichigo?
That isn't like you.
My sword's ineffective...
Inoue's power...
and everyone's powers have no effect.
It's over.
So that's it?
How boring...
No...
Perhaps I should say it was fun.
Now then, this is your final mission.
The power I gave you...
I'm taking it back.
What is... that?
That's...
W-What the hell?!
Is something else about to happen?
It's as though...
...it's the end of the world.
Kurosaki!
It's time to say farewell, Ichigo Kurosaki...
A Soul Reaper consumed by despair.
WARNING
- Captain Ukitake! - Captain Ukitake!
Are you seeing this, Ukitake?
Okay. It's time for the final fight.
Oh...
It's going away...
The Quincy power inside me...
The Hollow power that was mixed with it...
It's disappearing...
Disappearing...
Into white...
To the old world of never-ending chaos...
The seed blooms...
Become an offering to chaotic tranquility.
What's the matter, Uryu?
Is this the future you said you would show me?
It is.
Guess you're not going to ask what happened to Ichigo.
Because I don't need to.
It appears you haven't been able to see my feelings all along.
Consider the debt settled.
In fact, now you owe me, Ichigo Kurosaki!
That's right, by the way!
What's the point in seeing your feelings?
Super Acceleration.
Have you forgotten the rift so vast
that even "despair" felt lukewarm, King of the Arrancar?
I told you, I'm not a king.
Cascada.
Playtime is over.
Sorry...
I want to play a little more.
It's a variant application of Feder Zwinger.
It breaks down the massive volume of reishi
here in Wahr Welt...
before reabsorbing it.
This is an arrow you probably can't ignore.
Lanzador Verde!
It's over.
Is that the "hope" you choose?
I haven't chosen yet!
What foolishness.
Everything is meaningless before my The Almighty.
I've already broken the other arrow of hope that you shot.
I knew you would choose that future.
That is why I...
swapped it for a future where it never broke.
You did well to refine my power to such an extent.
However, the explosive scattering of energy
born from the collision of the seed and the distortion...
will swallow not only the Royal Palace,
but the Seireitei along with it.
I'm aware of that.
That's why this is a victory I could not achieve alone.
Please! Oh, please!
Antithesis.
With this...
...the war has finally ended, huh?
Uryu...
I have taken full measure of your power...
However... it alters nothing of the future I forged.
Every last Schrift has been sublimated into The Almighty.
These nine days of the world's end...
On this circular path,
they are both the end and beginning of the Welt.
I see all.
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
