Even if we lack forms,

we still march on.

BLEACH EPISODE 50: DEATH AND STRAWBERRY

Finally, the cleanup is almost done.

Once we pave the stone slabs in the last area,

we can wrap this up for now.

Ten years, huh?

KURIYA

KURIYA It took some time,

It took some time,

but even from a mess like that, things still managed to recover.

Head Captain!

We're out of time. Please hurry.

Good grief.

I still can't get used to how busy a Head Captain is.

Now I truly realize how amazing Yamamoto was.

HERE LIES UKITAKE JUSHIRO

HERE LIES UKITAKE JUSHIRO Farewell.

HERE LIES UKITAKE JUSHIRO I'll be back, Ukitake.

UKITAKE

Head Captain!

All right, I'm coming!

BLEACH: THOUSAND-YEAR BLOOD WAR

West District 55 is finally almost finished.

Honestly, it is making us wait this long.

Now we can finally expand the secret surveillance grid across Seireitei.

And now, time to conduct a field survey.

Follow me,

Nemuri No. 8.

Yes, Lord Mayuri!

Too loud.

Yes. I'm sorry, Lord Mayuri!

Good grief.

Why did you turn out like this?

Why indeed, Lord Mayuri?

Good work, Captain Zaraki!

Good work!

Shut up! It's the middle of the day! What's with "good work"?!

Point taken! Our apologies!

Good day, Captain Zaraki!

Good day!

By the way, Captain,

we're heading to Squad 1 dormitory today, right?

Are you sure this is the right way?

What are you talking about?

Since Squad 13 is running it, we're obviously going to Squad 13 dormitory.

It's Squad 1 dormitory, isn't it?

Don't ask me. I'm just the third seat.

Figure it out yourself.

Listen up, Ikkaku.

The only reason I used to get lost was because of Yachiru.

Now that Yachiru is gone,

there's no way I'd get lost.

Me?

I think the captain has a point.

Then hurry up and move!

Quit dragging your feet!

W-Wait, Captain!

Isn't that Squad 11?

Why are they running the opposite way?

Did they get lost?

Nobody runs that fast when they're lost.

I'll go stop them.

No way. Don't do so.

What if we get dragged into it and also end up late?

But...

No buts.

They're grown adults. Leave them be.

That's an order from your captain.

Captain Hirako, you only assert authority over trivial matters.

That's just a matter of perspective.

Who says I can't assert authority over trivial matters?

I can do so whenever I feel like it.

W-We can't keep up, Captain!

Don't sweat it. Just catch up later.

Straight from the training grounds?

Captain Iba, you really put in the work every day.

Captain Hitsugaya.

No. I'm not worthy of being a captain yet.

If I slacked off on training,

I wouldn't deserve to hold the title.

I see.

That's an admirable mindset.

That's exactly what a captain needs.

I wish someone in particular could hear that.

Who is it? Shuhei?

That's right.

Shuhei, listen closely.

Miss Rangiku, I can't just let that slide!

Let me make it clear.

What your captain just said was totally on our side.

No, let me make one thing clear.

I mastered Bankai ages ago.

But I've never seen it.

Neither have I.

Is it a Bankai scam?

I haven't seen it either.

Liar! Captain, you definitely saw it!

W-What choice did I have?

There hasn't been a chance to use it since.

Sounds like an excuse.

Totally an excuse.

Captain, don't take their side!

Still, isn't not needing it for ten years a good thing?

It means these past ten years have been peaceful.

I think today's ceremony

is the perfect culmination of those ten years.

You're late! Where have you been?

We ran a lap around the Seireitei.

We're pretty fast, aren't we?

I'm asking why you ran a lap around the Seireitei

on an important day like this.

J-Just go inside first, both of you, okay?

This way, please.

You're also a captain, Sister.

You don't need to be so submissive.

Don't ask the impossible.

Still hopeless, huh?

I wrote a brand-new song for this ceremony.

It's deeply moving.

No. Put it away before you come in.

LIGHTING I brought the stage lights.

Go put them away first.

Lieutenant Ise gets more formidable by the year.

Let's save these for the banquet tonight.

Fair enough.

Now,

the inauguration for the new captain of Thirteen Court Guard Squads begins.

New captain, please enter.

What's with that look on your face?

Don't worry.

If you get nervous and trip,

I'll carry you on my shoulders.

S-Shut up.

Captain of Squad 13, Rukia Kuchiki.

Here.

Wait, where did the captain go?

Oh, right.

Today's the inauguration ceremony for the new captain.

No, it seems he went to inspect the reconstruction zone.

Why?

If you don't know as the lieutenant, how should I know?

Good grief.

Well, guess I'll go find him.

What happened?

Well, the instruments picked up a weird reading.

COMMUNICATIONS OFFICE It closely resembles

OF THE TECHNICAL DEVELOPMENT AGENCY It closely resembles

Yhwach's Spiritual Pressure from ten years ago.

DESPAIR

Hey.

What is it?

What will you do when you get back?

I don't know. Play video games?

Video games sound good.

Right?

But you're way too good.

As expected, you get it.

UNAGIYA

Hey! What are you doing in there, brat?!

Where did you sneak in from?!

What the heck?

That kid is fast.

The Spiritual Pressure reading resembling Yhwach's remnants

is located in West District 55.

It's the final reconstruction zone near Squad 13 dormitory.

Kuchiki.

Squad 13's captain apparently left right after the ceremony.

That's why I sent someone to notify you.

It's fine.

Rukia and the others rarely get time off.

No need to contact them. I'll handle it.

Well, how strange.

I don't recall informing either of you.

Don't underestimate the Stealth Force's intel network.

Since you're here, the intel must be accurate.

Good grief. Accurate or not,

you'll be able to see for yourselves shortly.

KUROSAKI CLINIC

Hey.

Still as quiet as ever.

It's completely empty.

An empty clinic is a good thing.

Quit whining and get inside.

Everyone else just got here too.

It's Rukia!

Welcome, Rukia!

Don't act like this is your place.

Long time no see, Rukia.

Your hair has grown out.

It looks great on you.

Out of the way, Ichigo!

Popcorn and cola coming through!

Rukia, long time no see.

Long time no see, you two.

You've both really grown.

All right, it's starting.

Sit down, Ichigo.

- Over here. - Sponsored by Y. Hans.

- There he is! - Sponsored by Y. Hans.

World Heavyweight Championship Match!

- The challenger Yasutora Sado... - Chad is really incredible, isn't he?

It turns out he ended up becoming the most famous out of all of us.

Does "all of us" include you?

Of course it includes me!

Where's Dr. Ishida?

Extending his lunch break on the roof.

He rarely does that, doesn't he?

Apparently his schedule wouldn't let him take time off,

EXAM ROOM 1: ATTENDING, URYU ISHIDA but he really wanted to watch this match

that he'd planned to see with everyone.

What kind of cute excuse is that?

Look, he picked up.

He actually answered.

What? You act like I shouldn't have.

It's not that.

You said you couldn't take time off, so I told her not to bother you.

I couldn't leave the hospital,

but I carved out some time.

I'll be watching Chad's match right here.

I see.

Ishida, how have you been?

Hey! Don't disturb us.

What are you doing, Keigo?

How is this my fault?

Why are you smiling?

It's nothing.

It's good like this.

You're as baffling as ever.

That's rich coming from you.

Chad is on!

I need to go. Talk later.

Bye, Ishida.

END OF CALL Hey, Kurosaki...

Why did he even call?

KUROSAKI CLINIC

Orihime, it's starting.

Coming!

Tiger!

Be a true tiger, Yasutora!

Chad is really fired up.

He's definitely going to win.

Where's Kazui?

He should be upstairs.

According to Tsubaki and the others,

he was hanging out with Hiyori and the others until just a bit ago.

Could he be in your room?

Kazui really loves that room.

Isn't that your room now?

Are you fine with that?

Sure.

Kazui is welcome anytime.

After all, he looks just like Ichigo.

Karin!

Wait...

Didn't you say you would bring your kid this time?

That's right.

She finally became a Court Guard trainee

and got a pass to visit during the Obon festival.

Come on in.

It seems she disappeared.

Why?!

Honestly, I said there's no need to look for her.

And that's why I'm asking why.

KUROSAKI CLINIC Relax. She's a Soul Reaper.

KUROSAKI CLINIC No human could ever hurt her.

KUROSAKI CLINIC Is she the type to pick fights with humans?

KUROSAKI CLINIC Then we need to find her!

Ichigo.

What's up?

Thinking back, it all started right here.

Give me the sword, Soul Reaper.

I'll do what you want.

I am not "Soul Reaper". I am Rukia Kuchiki.

Is that so? I'm Ichigo Kurosaki.

I hope this won't be our final introduction.

Here it comes.

Right.

KUROSAKI CLINIC

Before we knew it, we'd come so far.

KUROSAKI'S PLACE Alright, let's head back.

KUROSAKI'S PLACE Back to where everyone's waiting for us.

Sure.

Only after we find your kid.

Why are you sighing? She's your kid.

Hey! The bell is ringing.

Hey, you go look too!

Yeah, you go too!

KUROSAKI CLINIC She's back.

KUROSAKI CLINIC Was that the Spiritual Pressure from earlier?

KUROSAKI CLINIC All right, let's find out.

KUROSAKI CLINIC Hey!

- Go, Chad! - Nice, right there!

- Right there. Keep on him! - Hit him, Chad!

Here it comes! Fall back!

What?

The remnants of Yhwach's power vanished?

Has the last of Yhwach's power

finally dissipated?

That path has been blocked, Ichigo.

The path to a world without fear.

The Human World, the Soul Society, and Hueco Mundo were meant to become one.

Life and death should have merged into one.

Yet none of it will come to pass.

It's all because of you, Ichigo.

What a pity.

Because of you, life and death never lost their forms.

All living things will continue to fear death...

...for all eternity.

Yhwach,

the world you desired may have been truly free of fear.

Yet in a world without the fear of death,

people would never overcome their fears or search for hope.

People will push forward just by living,

but that is vastly different from pushing forward after having conquered fear.

That is why people gave it a special name,

which is "courage".

Who are you?

Ichika Abarai.

I'm a Soul Reaper trainee!

ICHIKA ABARAI

Who are you?

I'm Kazui Kurosaki.
