Bleach (BLEACH)

Ichigo.

I'm sure he's somewhere safe, doing something important.

Argh.

Oh, man!

No!

Huh?

This this yours?

Uh, yeah.

-You should be more careful with it.

Huh?

Nice air on that ball, dude!

Kick it over here, dude!

-When are they gonna get off the field, already?

-Looks like they're middle school students.

Excuse me.

It's our turn to use the field.

What?

Huh?

Who are you?

-We're the ones who reserved the field for this time

to practice.

Yeah?

Well, you didn't reserve it with us.

Beat it!

We're not giving up the field.

Aw.

Come on.

-Go use that little empty lot on the other side.

Why don't you guys?

This is our time to practice on the field.

Those are the rules, so move it!

Oh, boy.

You brats are always reserving the field,

even though you guys don't need it.

So the only time we never get to practice

is when we take it for ourselves.

-What makes you think that we don't need the field?

Our practice is just as important to us

as yours is to you.

That's right!

Yeah, that's right.

What's goin' on?

What's the hold up?

Hey, get off our field, kids.

Why don't you go back to grade school?

This is mad, Karin.

-So what if we are in grade school?

The rules are the rules.

Oh, yeah?

That's right.

-An empty lot is good enough for you kids.

They're not even serious about practicing.

We are serious.

We're more serious than you.

You can't even follow the rules.

Just forget about it.

Bad players shouldn't even bother practicing.

-Oh, you really think you're better than we are?

-Of course we are, you little brat!

Enough already.

If you're really that confident, then let's play a game.

A game?

Yeah.

A game against each other.

And the winning team gets the field.

And they get to practice whenever

they want to from now on.

What should we do?

Forget it.

No way.

We'll just lose.

Fine.

You're on.

Huh?

What are you saying?

No way!

Why not?

What are you so scared of?

All right, then!

You're on for next Saturday.

The winner gets the field.

-And if you lose, we're going to make you guys eat grass

off the field.

What?

That's disgusting.

It's a deal.

Just make sure that none of you back out.

Karin, what are we going to do?

You got us into a real mes.

What are we going to do?

We're gonna win, that's what.

-But if we lose, we'll have to eat grass off the field.

-Well then, let's just make sure we win, so we won't have to.

How can we?

-By having more team spirit than those guys!

-Team spirit can't kick a soccer ball.

-We've gotta come up with some sort of plan, guys.

I know!

How 'bout we ask your brother to play for us?

Huh?

Yeah.

Ichigo's probably better at soccer than all of us.

That's right!

The other team are all middle school students,

so let's get a high school student to help us win.

No.

My brother can't help us right now.

He's away on a trip.

Aw.

Oh, well.

Don't worry.

I'll find somebody else who's really good at soccer.

Someone else?

There is no one else

But there just has to be.

Uh-- It's that kid from this morning.

Hey, where are you going?

Hm?

Hi, there.

It's me again.

You picked up my ball, remember?

Yeah.

Uh, thanks a lot.

No big deal.

Really.

-So, I was wondering, what school do you go to?

Huh?

What are you talking about?

I don't go to any school should, so just leave me alone.

Can't you see that I'm busy?

-Hey, do you play soccer, by any chance?

I don't know.

Well, we've got a big game coming up.

Do you want to play with us?

What--?

Hold on a minute.

What are you doing?

-Why are you talking to that strange guy, Karin?

Yeah.

Take a look at him.

He bleaches his hair.

-You can't put a kid like that on our team.

Who knows what kind of trouble he's into?

Yeah.

He looks just like one of those juvenile delinquent kids.

-And besides, he looks way too little

to be playing soccer with us.

What did you say?

And who are you calling little?

He didn't mean anything.

Hey.

Wait up!

Watch this!

All right!

Nice kick!

All right!

-I've never seen anything like that.

That was totally amazing!

Yeah!

Awesome!

Oh, yeah!

That was so cool!

What's your name?

I'm Toshiro Hitsugaya.

Toshiro, huh?

Wow, that's a pretty cool name.

-How do you get your hair that color, Toshiro?

Yeah.

Can you teach me how to do that to my hair, too?

What's your secret?

I want to learn to kick like that.

Look.

I'm not what you think.

It's just a regular Hollow.

(THINKIGN) That same sensation.

It's back.

-(THINKING) I'm the only one nearby.

Hey, Toshiro.

Wait.

Where are you going?

I've gotta run.

Hey!

Sorry.

I can't help you.

Hey, wait!

Please change your mind!

We need you!

We practice every day at the park on the hill.

Please come tomorrow!

-There isn't enough room for us to practice here

with all these people around.

-Toshiro didn't show up today, anyway.

Yeah.

And there's no way we'll ever win the game without him.

-Instead of practicing soccer, we

should start practicing our grass eating technique.

Man.

Huh?

-I'm gonna go look for Toshiro, you guys.

Hey, wait a minute, Karin.
