Bleach (BLEACH)

Sosuke Aizen was the man

who revolted against the Soul Society

and brought Hueco Mundo under his control.

Aizen set out to create a key that

would open a portal to the Soul Society's Royal Palace--

a key known as the Oken.

Karakura Town is the location that

was targeted as the site for the Oken's creation.

When Ichigo and the 13 Court Guard Squads

caught wind of his intent, they began training

for a winter showdown with the Espada,

as they would need all the strength they could muster.

However, after learning of Orihime's ability

to reject all forms of phenomena,

Aizen ordered Ulquiorra to kidnap her

from the world of the living.

Determined to rescue Orihime, Ichigo, Renji, Uryu,

Chad, and Rukia broke into Aizen's stronghold, Las Noches.

But what awaited them was a battle more demanding

than they could have ever imagined.

ICHIGO (VOICEOVER): I'm going at this guy

with everything I've got!

Bankai!

A Bankai, is it?

Aaah!

Ungh.

Ungh.

Impossible.

Ungh!

Impressive.

Even using both my hands, I couldn't stop it.

I am quite surprised.

Was that it?

Finished, Ichigo?

You can't.

Hm.

How unfortunate.

It's time to give up.

Ugh!

I'll never surrender.

So it's very simple.

What I have to do is defeat you in battle,

then this war is as good as over.

I see.

It looks as if you have been misinformed.

You're the fourth.

Correct.

Espada number 4, Ulquiorra Cefir.

Of all the Espada, my power is ranked fourth.

Ugh!

Uhh.

Ichigo Kurosaki, it is pointless.

You cannot defeat me.

Even if you were lucky enough to succeed,

there are three Espada ranked above me

or much stronger than I. Try as many times as you like--

Uhh.

Ugh.

---the results will always be the same.

This is the end, then.

If you can still move in that condition,

leave Hueco Mundo immediately.

If you can't move, then die there.

Hmmm.

Hm.

-You know what I brought you here to do.

Now, heal.

It's about time.

Now, we can get down to business.

Grind!

Pantera!

What the hell?

The shock wave.

He generates that much power just by screaming?

Hah!

Damn it!

Uh.

Oh!

Eeyah!

Ugh!

Come on, Ichigo Kurosaki, is that all you've got?

Rrgh!

Argh!

Eeyah!

Ugh!

Eeyah!

Eeyah!

Eeyah!

Yah!

It was fun.

But now, it's over.

Please don't die.

Don't die, Ichigo!

You don't have to win.

And you don't have to fight for me.

Just don't get hurt.

I couldn't bear it.

Desgarron.

It's my ultimate technique.

Haaargh!

Ugh!

It's over.

You're finished, Ichigo.

Now, you make me sick.

I'm going to wipe that smirk off your face!

GRIMMJOW (VOICEOVER): They are all cowards.

Fine, if that's what you want, I'll eat you all,

become my flesh and blood, and see what lies ahead.

I am, I am the king!

You know, I got news for you.

You're not the only one who wants to win.

Hrgh!

Eyah!

So I'm going to destroy you!

And Ulquiorra!

I'm going to defeat Aizen!

And then I'm going to take Rukia,

and Chad,

and Uryu,

and Renji!

I'm going to take Orihime!

All of my friends!

And bring them home safe with me!

I won't lose to you!

Ugh!

Damn you!

Ugh, hah.

Uh, ohh.

Hm.

Are-- are you--

--hurt?

I was going to I ask you that.

I'm fine.

Good.

That's a relief.

Well, you know me, I'm made of pretty tough stuff.

Even when I was a kid, I never caught colds and--

Ichigo, what are you doing?
