Bleach: Thousand-Year Blood War

YH-W-A-CH...

YH-W-A-CH...

YH-W-A-CH...

-("STARS" by w.o.d) -(singing in Japanese)

Ichigo Kurosaki!

As I'm sure you're already well aware,

the Soul Society has suffered heavy damage.

How incredibly pathetic.

A thousand years of peace

have caused the Soul Reapers to become weak.

And squad zero did nothing but sit back and watch.

That is simply a part of our duty, to watch.

It is also a part of our duty to train you, Ichigo,

because the Quincies are bound to come again

and in the near future too.

I know.

Thank you for all your help.

Where do you think you're going?

Where do you think? To the Soul society.

I need to get back there before they do.

Are you really that eager to die?

Huh?

The way things stand now,

I'm afraid you don't stand a chance against Yhwach.

Everyone raise your crosses.

Salute his majesty, Yhwach!

Stern Ritters, I see you're all here.

A thousand years ago, we suffered a savage attack.

We Quincies were viciously set upon by the Soul Reapers.

In that assault, we lost many of our comrades

and our very existence was threatened.

We survived by hiding in the Schatten Bereich.

We endured extreme humiliation

and we waited a thousand years,

but very soon the final battle will commence.

The time has now come.

We will destroy the Soul Society,

annihilate the Soul Reapers

and reinstate the honor of the Quincies.

But before that battle begins,

I have an announcement to make.

Step forth.

What the hell?

Who is that guy?

What?

This is Uryu Ishida.

He is the last surviving Quincy in this entire world,

and hereby, I decree that he shall officially be named

as my successor.

But why him?

His majesty successor.

What? Seriously that guy.

What is going on here, Jugo.

There will be no objections.

I won't stand for it.

There is also no need for any concern whatsoever.

In the battles that are soon to come,

all of you will quickly learn firsthand of his powers.

That is all.

Ugh, this makes no sense.

Hey, you.

Yes.

I'm in a bad mood, so come to my room right now.

Uh, It would be my honor.

Ah come on.

Look at the mess you made again, really?

Classic Bambi.

At least I kept his mess inside.

In or out, who cares?

Look, you really need to do something

about your urge to kill hot guys

whenever you get pissed off.

Whatever. What do you want?

Bazz-B is still spouting off

and causing a big commotion over there.

Why not join him?

You must be pretty pissed too, right?

Not really. So stupid.

I just don't get it. Who the hell is that guy?

Can someone explain to me what is going on?

Just who do you think is gonna explain it?

If anyone, only his majesty could.

What could we possibly explain anyway?

It's the first time any of us are hearing

about a successor rooster head.

Maybe his majesty doesn't have long to live.

Hey, Candy, why don't you go make a move

on that successor boy.

What?

Listen, stop treating me like some kind of a slut.

Right, because you're totally not.

You bitch.

Damn it. I refuse to accept this.

Where are you going, Bazz-B?

The real question is why aren't you going anywhere?

You know, I was under the impression

that you were his Majesty's successor.

If you were, nearly all of the Ritters would've accepted it

without any complaint at all.

Yet, you don't seem to care about any of this stuff.

His majesty's word is everything,

and that means there is no room at all for me to object.

Argh, you've become a coward.

You disappoint me.

Since that's the case, you should just give up your seat.

If you don't care about letting

some newcomer take it from you,

then I might as well have it.

I suggest you calm down.

What's that?

Come on. I'm totally calm.

Way more than you, you know.

You're right. It's clear that you're calm.

You didn't rush in head first this time.

Yes, I can tell that you're very calm indeed.

Nakk Le Vaar, what do you think you're doing?

I was trying to save you. Fighting's no good.

Look, just let it go. The both of you.

There's nothing at all to gain by fighting like this.

In fact, it can be toxic for someone like you,

but you already know that, isn't that right, future Emperor?

Before the ritual,

there is something that I would like to ask you.

Yes.

Why me? Why was I chosen as your successor?

You are questioning it?

I'm sure if you just give it a little thought,

the reason why I'm choosing you as my successor

should become completely obvious.

You can't ask why.

Then let me ask, Uryu tell me this.

Why are you still alive?

I believe that you already know

you're the one out of all the Quincies throughout history,

you are the only one who was ever able to survive

the Ausw ählen, and not by accident.

There's a reason you survived that day.

From the day I lost my mother,

I've been wondering why did she die while I survived?

What was my purpose to be?

The answer was in my grandfather's diary.

I have heard your majesty's words

and I've confirmed them all to be true.

I have accepted that Quincies and Soul Reapers

will never get along,

and also who I really am.

That's why

I severed every one of my ties to come here

so that I could bury the Soul Reapers.

Join me by my side, Uryu

and I shall reveal your future to you.

Yes, your majesty.

That completes the ritual,

and soon your powers will awaken.

I bestow the shrift upon you.

It shall begin with the same letter as mine, the letter A.

Wow. Quite a reaction.

Boy,

it sure was a long way to get to this Negal Ruin.

Well, it looks like she got there safely.

That's good news.

I guess I'm the one who needs more time to wrap things up.

Kisuke said he'll be monitoring everything via Pero,

but he didn't come to my aid even when I was in real danger.

I see. Let's get started on our training.

I'm afraid we don't have very much time left.

Yeah, you're right.

You know, I wonder how Ichigo's doing.

Ichigo,

you aren't going to be able to defeat Yhwach

in the state you're currently in

I'll surpass anything you want. That's why I'm here.

You can hone your Zanpakuto skills all you want,

but even if you do, you'll still only be a Soul Reaper.

And what's this for?

Let's begin, shall we?

This is a sacred place.

We are not allowed to enter into it

without the permission of the Soul King.

The Soul King.

Now, I shall test you to see if you're worthy

to surpass what it means to be a Soul Reaper.

I hope things are going well for Ichigo.

Are you feeling worried, sir?

It's just that that man is very cunning.

I mean, he did take Ichigo,

but who knows whether he is acting

in the best interest of the Seireitei?

Uh.

Oh, sorry. My bad.

Forget I said anything.

I say let's just do what we can here.

Right.

- Like I said, -(bright music)

this isn't an order.

Come on, I'm standing here with my head hung low

begging for your help.
