Bleach (BLEACH)

-I now call this captain's meeting to order.

The Ryoka infiltration has been confirmed.

Subsequently, here are my orders.

All squads are on second class alert, effective immediately.

In addition, because of this serious situation,

I am taking this special measure assigning Squad 10 Captain

Hitsugaya chief responsibility for the Ryoka's capture.

Yes, Head Captain.

-We are having difficulty gathering reliable intelligence

at the moment, captain.

There is also a problem with information leaking

from the Department of Research and Development.

You must find out what is really happening,

and disseminate the information to all of the 13 squads.

Sir.

-Finally, and this is the most important directive of them

all-- anyone who encounters a Ryoka

is to eliminate him without hesitation.

Look.

Watch out!

It's coming this way!

-Have any of the other squads been deployed?

Yes they have, Captain.

Lieutenant Omaeda and some other from Squad 2

were ordered to head out a little while ago, sir.

Were there any others?

-Lieutenant Iba of Squad 7 is also

reported to be headed to the Rukon District.

Very well.

Continue gathering any information

you can about squad movements, and especially

reports on the Ryoka.

And make sure you overlook nothing.

Yes, sir.

It's so quiet.

For now.

But it will be noisy soon enough.

There they are!

I get to go first.

No.

I get first crack at them.

Taking us all on in broad daylight, huh?

You've got some nerve.

Hmph.

Kariya, sir?

May I request that you leave this one to me?

Ah, yes.

This will serve as a good test for us.

doll.

Huh?

Ha ha!

Hello.

Nice to see you all.

Huh?

Huh?

-The air here is quite delicious.

It makes me feel wonderful.

Heh.

I heard you Bounts used strange techniques,

but I had no idea how strange.

You mean cowardly techniques.

What's the matter.

You can't even fight your own battles?

How is he doing that?

That bastard's absorbing reishi.

That's impossible.

What are you?

-You look at me as if I'm some sort of monster.

But that's where you're wrong.

Regardless of what you think, I'm still a human.

Just an improved one.

Get him!

Now, Doll, take them out.

-I'm feeling especially dangerous today.

Hey!

I'll make you pay for this.

Wait.

Isn't there anyone else to help out?

-I feel so strong right now, it's amazing!

Someone help!

There are too many of them!

Don't bother.

It's a waste of your energy.

What did you do to him?

I don't like attacking unarmed opponents,

but you leave me no choice.

What the hell is going on?

Ha ha ha!

Ah, ha ha ha!

Ha ha ha ha!

-You call yourself a Soul Reaper?

You don't deserve the name.

Feel all right?

It's wonderful.

There's an unlimited amount of reishi of the highest purity

all around us.

Excellent.

Then let us be off.

Call for the med crew.

Now.

Yes, sir.

-The rest of you, full battle alert.

Fan out and see to the wounded, on the double.

Say something, lieutenant.

Can you move?

-Captain Hitsugaya, it's Lieutenant Iba.

He was thrown through the wall.

How is he doing?

It's too soon to tell.

But at least he's regained consciousness.

Captain!

I'm sorry I'm late.

I've just returned from the world of the living.

Rangiku.

I'm afraid I've failed in my mission, and now as a result,

I've allowed the Ryoka to invade the Soul Society.

-As the officer who sent you, the responsibility is mine.

Understand?

Yes.

-What can you tell me about the Bounts?

I'm afraid that I don't have very much to report.

Locating Bounts by our usual means is virtually impossible.

Even right now, the only spiritual pressure

in detectable amounts is that of the two lieutenants.

More bad news.

Keep looking!

Report anything unusual.

Yes, sir!

-Welcome back, Lieutenant Matsumoto.

Thank you, sir.

Well, here we are again.

Yes.

Rukia, did you feel it?

A while ago?

Yes.

It felt like a Soul Reaper was fighting a Bount somewhere

nearby.

-But you probably couldn't sense the Bount's spiritual pressure,

could you?

-Just like in the world of the living, isn't it?

-What's with the two of you all lost in thought?

Don't you know this is a state of emergency?

Huh?

That's right!

No one wants to see you looking all romantic.

You two were only supposed to be friends, remember?

Huh?

You don't know what you're talking about.

Oh, I don't, do I?

I've got eyes, and I can see when

something suspicious is going on.

Come now, friends.

Everyone needs to calm down.

We have no chance of defeating the Bounts

if we're fighting amongst ourselves.

Well, that's true.

I don't care!

Ichigo, Rukia.

Yoruichi.

We have some bad news about Kukaku.

What do you mean?

-I'm afraid that she's not there.

Huh?

-Well, Kukaku does have a habit of picking up and moving out

all of a sudden.

Is there someone we can ask?

Who would know where she could have moved to?

-I think I have an idea of where she just might be.

There it is.

That's Kukaku's house, all right.

We found her!

Nice remodel.

You think so?

Yeah.

It's so odd.

Every time she moves, she completely

changes the design of her house.

-And every time, she proves she has no sense of style.

Like the way you draw.

Watch it.

-Gettin whacked by you is supposed to be Kon's job,

isn't it?

And by the way, where is Kon?

Huh?

-Come to think of it, I haven't seen him for a while.

That's strange.

I'm positive he came along with us to this Kukaku--

Oh!

If Kon is lost, we have to find him.

Do you think we should split up and start searching?

-I don't think we'll need to worry too much about him.

He'll be all right.

Kon is bursting with energy.

Well, that's true.

That's right.

All right.

I know that scream.

Ichigo!

Rukia!

Doesn't that figure?
