Bleach (BLEACH)

In order to save Orihime,

who was kidnapped by the Arrancars,

Ichigo, Chad, Uryu, Rukia, and Renji

have all snuck into Hueco Mundo, the realm of the Hollows.

The journey to Aizen's fortress, Las Noches,

has been hard fought, as our heroes have struggled

against endless attacks from the Arrancar forces.

They enter a room with strange spiritual pressures

and five separate doorways leading into the fortress.

-As we approach the crucial battlegrounds,

believe that our blades will not shatter,

believe the result will not weaken!

Though out paths may diverge, our iron hearts

will remain together.

Swear that, though land itself may break asunder,

we will come back here alive.

Ichigo proceeded down this path,

unaware that Arrancar 103, Dordoni, was waiting for him.

Ichigo was initially confused by the strange actions and words

of this triple digit Arrancar, but when

Ichigo decided to take the fight seriously,

Dordoni's whole persona seemed to change.

My, my.

Never judge people by their appearances, .

We are a group known as the Privaron Espada.

In other words, any Arrancar with a three digit number,

including me, used to be a member of the Espada.

Whirl, Giralda!

Don't tell me that's all you got, nino.

The spiritual pressure.

It feels like Ichigo.

Damn.

I sense a terrible presence emanating from this place.

Wha-- What is-- What the hell is that?

Don't speak up on me like that.

It's really annoying.

And what are you doing here anyway?

Ne-- ne!

Ne?

What about [?

Ne?

Spit it out, will you?

Nel!

I'm looking for Nel, know what I'm talking about?

-Then why are you wasting your time running after me?

Wait.

I know.

You're lost.

You got lost, didn't you?

Where is Nel, man?

What are you asking me for?

I don't know.

But even if you are lost, this doesn't make any sense.

I mean, you don't have any reason

to come after me, do you?

But Nel.

Nel went after Ichigo!

If we don't hurry and find Nel, it'll just be terrible.

Stop it.

If she's with Ichigo, then she's safe.

Now stop crying already.

It's weirding me out.

That's not why I'm so upset.

You see-- You see, if we-- If we don't find Nel quickly--

-I-- If we don't find Nel and stop her, then Nel will--

Nel will--

He's running away.

Wait up.

Why do you keep running away from me?

Because you're chasing me.

It's a reflex.

Your face is-- How should I put this?

That face of yours is scaring the crap out of me.

Please stop running away and listen!

If you just give me a chance, I'll

tell you the good part of the story.

You stop, then I'll stop.

Besides.

If you're looking for Nel, you need to turn around.

She's the other way.

Nel!

Ichigo!

Tonto.

Well?

Come on, come on, come on.

Do it!

Use your Bankai, nino.

Or you'll die!

Why are you saving your spirit energy

against an opponent like me?

A sentiment as sweet as chocolate, but foolish.

Don't you understand what's going on here?

You're being very unreasonable, nino.

Why not use your Bankai?

I'm interested to see you at full power.

Getsuga Tensho!

Well?

Ichigo!

Are you all right?

Ichigo, be careful.

Ah.

I applaud the power your displayed just now.

But still, you know what you're facing here, right?

At this rate, you haven't got a chance of winning.

I wouldn't be so sure of that.

-I'm not making assumptions here.

I'm merely stating the truth.

Getsuga Tensho!

Not again.

Now, check this out.

I'll just keep beating you like this

until you change your mind.

This pains me, nino.

Correction.

Hardly pains is what I really meant to say.

Let's see your Bankai.

And soon.

Because if I don't keep holding back, nino, you die.

Got it?

What a waste.

All this would be for nothing if that happens.

Ichigo!

Ichigo!

This is bad!

If you don't do something, you're gonna die!

Ichigo!

Ichigo!

-Look, now you have upset little baby and it's all your fault.

Come on, nino.

It's time to use your Bankai.

Ah.

Getsuga--

I already told you!

Don't underestimate me, nino!

Bastard!

-Naughty boys who don't listen will be punished!

Cero!

Cero!

Nel.

What the--

-What did she just do to my Cero?

Gah!

She swallowed it!

What the hell?

You just-- are you gonna be all right, Nel?

Wah!

Listen, you!

Don't you be mean to Ichigo again.

Ah!

Oh, no!

Heh.

I don't know who you are, ,

but you are impressive.

I never thought that someone could deflect my Cero

while I was in my released form.

However, unruly children need to learn their place.

Now get lost!

-If you want to see it that badly,

then I guess I'll show it to you.

I hope it was worth the wait.

Let me introduce you to my Bankai.

It's about time.

I knew you'd have to use it eventually.

Ichigo--

Nel, I'm sorry.

You got hurt because I was being stubborn

about something that doesn't even matter.

When I came here I wanted to do things right,

so I decided that in order to fight

on the level of the Espada, I shouldn't

use my Bankai against anyone else.
