Original subtitles

Raise your eyes you can see shooting stars up in the night sky

Raise your eyes you can see shooting stars up in the night sky

One, two. ..

The sound resonates Into my heart, so hard and deep

A field of stars spans endlessly And through it I carve a passageway

In step with time as generations change

Close your eyes and listen closely

Shooting stars stream on silently... until the goodbye

Keep the light inside of you, never give up don't ever lose

Transcend time and you will prove, there is a special place for you

A blaze of glory is there,

It's all a part of our estate, life is our story to create

Raise your eyes you can see shooting stars up in the night sky

Wishes speak from ages old by voice of light

Throughout the age, never fade away

A secret fire, a scream of light, voices calling through twilight

Cast your thoughts to the wind, hang your wishes on the moon

Live your life with all your strength

for dreams will reach you very soon

Raise your eyes you can see shooting stars up in the night sky

Wishes speak from ages old by voice of light

Throughout the age, never fade away

Someday your dream will find Its place somewhere

Keep shining like a star

I cannot believe this!

Do you realize what you have done?!

Look at this!

This was broadcast nationwide the other day.

GOLD MEDAL

GOLD MEDAL Nationwide!

GOLD MEDAL

GOLD MEDAL Ichigo Kurosaki!

Ichigo Kurosaki!

Do you know how much dishonor you've brought upon this school

with the airing of this footage?!

Mr. Kagine!

Kurosaki and Kuchiki were on television,

so I can understand why they were called in.

But there's no reason why Inoue and I should be here.

Weren't you there too?

By coincidence.

We met them by accident and were not involved!

Damn you—! Trying to save your own necks!

And so, we're going back to class.

Let's go, Orihime.

Oh...then I will.. .too.

You're staying right here.

You were with him, but did nothing to stop him.

You're just as guilty!

W-What's the fuss just 'cuz we were on TV?

"Just 'cuz"?!

Haven't you realized that you're here precisely

because of that lack of awareness?!

You're unbelievable!

I'm so sorry.

It's all my fault...

I couldn't stop Kurosaki who was so determined togeton TV...

It's my fault.

I really tried my best, but...

Ohh... Don't cry, Kuchiki.

I understand. It seems like you did nothing wrong.

I don't care what you do to Kurasaki, but please spare me...

Hmm?

Hey, you brats!

Do you know what will happen if you run away?!

You boys!

And now, even Kuchiki has disappeared!

Principal!

Now, now, you don't have to scold them so severely,

just because they were on TV.

I can't believe everyone!

All's well that end's well.

It's all thanks to you, Rukia.

Oh please...

Stupid, don't compliment her.

She tried to sell me out.

But thanks to her act, you were able to slip away, too.

That's right.

It was just an a...c...t.

I wouldn't dream of selling out a friend like Kurosaki.

Damn you!

By the way, Kurosaki, may I speak with you?

Huh?

Please excuse us, everyone.

What was that?

Kurosaki and Kuchiki. ..

Huh?

Could they be seeing each other?

No way!

At least, Kuchiki wouldn't.

But something's suspicious...

No way!

Huh?!

There's no Hollow.

What's going on anyway?

Maybe that cell phone is broken.

Strange...

There was an order that a Hollow had appeared.

Hey, spirit!

Huh?!

You didn't exterminate a Hollow by any chance, did you?

H-Hollow...you mean that scary bug-like thing?

I-I was so scared...

I thought I was gonna pee on myself!

Stay away from me!

I'm asking you what happened!

Wait, Ichigo.

Did someone defeat the Hollow and save you?

And if so, who was it?

I-I was so scared, I had my eyes closed.

I don't know!

Wha—"!

Why you!

Well, it's Konso time.

Let's go!

Huh?! What's a Konso?

W-What's that sword for?!

Third place?

You always do so well.

Wow! Orihime, I didn't know you were smart!

She doesn't look it though, huh?

Wonderful!

You are my Hime, after all!

Oh...

Well, besides the girls doing well,

no one betrayed us by getting into the top 50.

Look carefully.

Huh?

ICHIGO KUROSAKI Huh?

ICHIGO KUROSAKI

ICHIGO KUROSAKI W-W-What?!

W-W-What?!

23rd place?!

No way!

How can you be up there?!

Shut up.

I study because there's nothing else to do at home.

Nothing to do?! No way!

I always ask you to hang out!

I get it! That's what you were doing when you turned me down!

You pervert! Nerd!

A person like you deserves thick glasses like these—

No thanks.

So you actually study, Ichigo?

Well yeah...

It can be tough when you have orange hair like this.

I see. I guess everyone has their unique circumstances in life.

Someone like you deserves a nerd headband—

I told you, I don't want it!

Fine! I get it!

I'll never ask you to hang out again!

Hey Chad, c'mon and join me.

You're not in the top fifty, right?

Huh?

#11 YASUTORA SADO

What?!

I-I never thought you guys were so evil!

Never!

I'll never play with you guys again!

Uh-oh...you made him cry.

If we're evil, what about the guy who's number one?

Ametatsu Ishida?

Never heard of that name.

It's Uryu.

Uryu Ishida.

You know him?

He's in our class.

— Huh? — Forget it, Orihime.

He never remembers a person's name or face.

Let's go.

Hmm.. was he in our class?

He's not there!

Urahara! Why don't you answer when I call you at times like this?!

You always show up when you're not needed.

And you call yourself a businessman!

Hmm...

I wanted him to take a look at my Soul Phone.

I can't tell if it's broken or not.

Found him!

Let's go sing some karaoke. The worker there—

Kurosaki!

Come with me a moment!

Rukia's aggressive.

They are seeing each other...

It's a Hollow.

A Hollow? I hope it's really there this time.

Shut up! Let's go!

Sorry!

After all this!

No Hollow, after all!

Shut up!

Get back into your body now!

Damn!

Do something about that useless cell phone!

Are you saying that it's my fault?!

I just relay whatever comes through the Soul Phone.

So hurry it up and fix that thing!

I want to as well.

Breaking up?

How shameful.

Good evening, Kurosaki. .. Kuchiki.

Who are you?

How do you know our names?

Kurosaki, you can see spirits, right?

W-What're you saying?!

A new Hollow has appeared.

What?

H-He's right. It's an order.

Which way?

Over there.

You don't know the basics and you call yourself a Soul Reaper?

Go!

It disappeared.

Who are you?!

Uryu Ishida. A Quincy.

I hate Soul Reapers.

What?

Don't you understand?

I'm saying... Ichigo Kurosaki...

I hate you.

Damn it! Just what is with that guy?

You don't know the basics

and you call yourself a Soul Reaper?

Why does he feel the need to insult me like that

when I've only met him for the first time?!

I'll get that bastard the next time we meet.

That bastard?

Umm...what did he say his name was?

Ishida... err... Willy?

Nope. That's that celebrity no one likes.

Ishida...

Are you talking about Ishida again?

Inoue! Oh...no...

Uryu Ishida, right?

Huh?

Yeah him! You're well informed, Inoue.

I'm not.

It's just that Ishida and I are in the Handicrafts Club.

So I know his name, at least.

Handicrafts Club?!

See? That's Ishida.

Th-That's him.

And he's in the Handicrafts Club?

Yup. Look.

Michiru's conveniently brought a torn-up stuffed animal.

A very convenient turn of events indeed.

Just watch.

I-It's fixed! Thank you, Ishida!

No problem.

It's no big deal.

Huh? I'm sorry.

He'd be a nice boy if he didn't say things in that way.

He sure is weird.

Hey, Kurosaki...

Did something happen between you and him?

Just something minor.

It's no big deal.

I see...

Are you planning on following me home?

Ichigo Kurosaki?

Damn it, you knew?

When did you notice?

Since the time you and Inoue were snooping on me from the doorway.

Hmm... I'm impressed.

You're pretty good.

Your spiritual energy is always leaking out, like a fool.

Even a monkey would notice.

What?!

I think you're lacking the ability to detect those with high spiritual energy.

The proof lies in the fact

that you didn't notice my existence until today.

Sorry about that. I'm bad at remembering people's faces.

I'm not talking about that.

From the time you entered school

I knew that you had unusually high spiritual energy.

And that you became a Soul Reaper around the middle of May.

And.. .| know Rukia Kuchiki's true identity.

Spirit Ribbons!

Yes, Spirit Ribbons.

The compression and manifestation of spiritual energy

in the atmosphere.

And...

What's this?!

Your Spirit Ribbon.

You don't know?

Soul Reapers' Spirit Ribbons have different colors.

Let's duel, Ichigo Kurosaki.

You or me...

I'll show you who's stronger.

And also, that Soul Reapers aren't necessary in this world.

URAHARA'S STORE

URAHARA'S STORE Time to duel! Rock, Paper...

Time to duel! Rock, Paper...

Scissors!

Look away, then show!

Rock, Paper...

Scissors!

Look away, then show!

I guess it's your turn to sweep, Jinta.

I didn't lose!

I haven't lost yet!

I said it's two out of three!

You never said that! Never! Owwee!

Oweee!

Quit complaining!

One more match, I said!

What...are you doing, Jinta?

Oh...nothing... Te.. Eh.. Mr. Tessai!

THREE METERS Oh...nothing... Te.. Eh.. Mr. Tessai!

Oh...nothing... Te.. Eh.. Mr. Tessai!

Huh?

Do you have some business today, Kuchiki?

Huh? What's the matter?

Is Urahara here?

It's Miss Kuchiki!

What can I do for you—?!

"What can I do for you"?!

I called you time and time again, but you never answered!

So I've come!

Oh, I'm sorry.

We've been quite busy lately.

Hey Sis, what happened to that spiky-haired guy?

Well, I don't like him, so it's better that he stayed away.

Hey Jinta!

I need to ask you something.

What is it?

A duel? You and me?

That's right.

Hah! That's stupid.

What?

Why do I have to do something so stupid.

I don't know what kind of grudge you have against Soul Reapers,

but it's got nothing to do with me.

How unexpected.

You're trying to get out of it?

Don't try to provoke me into doing it.

Besides, it wouldn't be a challenge.

I see. I just remembered.

You're a Soul Reaper who received your powers from Kuchiki...

You're a Substitute Soul Reaper.

Without her authority, you can't even lift a finger.

What did you say?!

Quincy?

I haven't heard that word in a long time.

It has a nostalgic ring to it, doesn't it?

It's been nearly 200 years since we've heard that name.

What does it mean?

Quincy...

A tribe that once existed, scattered all over the world,

who specialized in destroying Hollows.

They became extinct about 200 years ago.

Extinct?

Yes... Humans who had powers like Mr. Kurosaki

sensed the existence of Hollows

and began to train to fight against them...

that's how the tribe started.

Like Soul Reapers,

their mission was to destroy Hollows.

However, there was one distinct difference

between them and the Soul Reapers.

And that was, whether to kill Hollows or not.

The Soul Reapers seek to purify Hollows with their Zanpakuto

to allow them to cross over into the Soul Society.

But Quincys sought to kill them.

When you think about it, it was a very human thing to do.

Hollows devour human souls.

They hurt and kill our friends and family.

So why would you want to send them to the Soul Society in peace?

It was only natural that they opposed it.

So they always tried to kill Hollows.

They believed that they were avenging their comrades.

But due to that belief, they were destroyed.

Fine!

Let's do it. vWe'll have a duel!

Hey Ichigo!

Huh?

You may've been obeying Sis's orders,

but how dare you stuff me in that bag?!

We're switching.

Hey, wait! Not again?!

Got it!

Gross...

Kon, watch over me.

I'm gonna kick his butt!

Huh?

All right, explain...

the rules of this battle to me.

Hurry up!

Though the voyage must continue on

May seas always be calm

When the cycle of the moon has renewed may it shine

Its light to guide your boat

I offer this voyage a prayer

With each new day that still awaits

On vividly shining seas

70 the end of the journey
