SOUL KING PALACE, VESTIBULE ROAD
Ichigo Kurosaki,
as you know, Soul Society has been severely damaged.
How useless.
Thousand years of peace has made the Soul Reapers weak.
And Squad 0 was just standing by, right?
We could only stand by.
That's also our duty.
And then, training you is also our duty.
Those guys will definitely come back
in the near future.
Yeah.
Thank you for your care.
Where are you going?
Back to Soul Society, of course.
I have to go back before they come.
Do you want to go and die?
With your current state,
you can't possibly win against Yhwach.
SILBERN, ASSEMBLY HALL
All members, present your cross!
Salute to…
His Highness Yhwach.
Have you all gathered, Sternritter?
A thousand years ago, us Quincies
suffered a brutal attack from the Soul Reapers.
We lost many comrades,
and faced a crisis of life and death.
Since we survived in Schatten Bereich,
we have endured humiliation and waited for a thousand years.
The final battle will begin soon.
It is time to restore Quincy's glory
by annihilating Soul Society and Soul Reapers.
Before the war, I have an announcement for you all.
Come here.
Who is that guy?
Why is he on stage with His Highness?
Uryu Ishida.
He is the last surviving Quincy in this world.
I have appointed him…
as my successor.
Why?
The successor of His Highness?
Is that man?
What's going on?
Jugo.
I don't allow you to raise objections,
and there's no need for you to worry.
His strength in the upcoming battles
will definitely convince everyone.
I have had my say.
This is ridiculous.
You.
Y-Yes.
I'm very irritated now. Come to my room.
Immediately.
M-My honor!
-You made your room a mess again! -Bambi.
It doesn't matter. It's just inside the room anyway.
It's not about whether it's inside or outside.
I asked you to change your habit of killing a handsome guy
whenever something bad happens.
So what do you want from me?
Bazz-B is still yelling over there.
Go show your face.
Aren't you angry too?
I'm not. It's totally nonsense.
I can't understand at all!
Who is that guy?
Who can explain it?
Explain? Who can do that?
The only person who can explain is His Highness, right?
In the first place,
we just heard about the successor for the first time, right? Rooster Head.
Is His Highness' life about to end?
Candy,
why don't you go seduce that successor?
Don't make me sound so frivolous.
-You say it as if you're not. -You!
Damn it, how could I possibly accept this?
Where are you going, Bazz-B?
I was about to ask you. Aren't you going anywhere?
As for me,
I always thought you'd be the successor to His Highness.
If you were the successor,
I think most of the members wouldn't have any objections.
Don't you have any thoughts about it?
His Highness' will is everything.
I have no right to interfere.
You're such a coward.
I'm so disappointed.
In that case, you should give up your position now.
If you think it is okay to give it up to a country bumpkin like that,
I will just take it for myself!
Calm down, Bazz-B.
I'm very calm!
I'm even calmer than you are right now!
Yeah, I can see you're very calm.
You didn't just charge in recklessly.
You're really calm, extremely calm.
Nakk Le Vaar.
What are you doing?
I'm saving you. Fighting isn't a good thing.
Both of you, stop fighting.
This type of fight serves no purpose.
Especially for you, it only brings harm.
You should know this very clearly.
Isn't that right? The next Emperor.
Before the ceremony, I'd like to ask you something.
Why did you choose me as the successor?
Do you have doubts?
The reason I chose you as the successor
should be clear if you think about it.
Don't you understand?
Then let me ask you.
Uryu, why are you still alive?
You already know…
that you're the only Quincy in history
who survived the Holy Selection.
There's a reason for your survival.
Since the day my mother passed away,
I've been thinking about this.
Why did my mother die?
And why did I survive?
What should I do?
The answers were found in my grandfather's memoirs.
And I am convinced that
everything written in it is true, according to what Your Highness just said.
Quincies and Soul Reapers are incompatible beings.
I also discovered who I am.
So…
I said farewell to everything and came here
to bury Soul Reapers.
Follow me.
I'll show you the future.
Yes, Your Highness.
In this way, your power will be awakened soon.
I will grant you Schrift.
I will give you the same letter "A" as mine.
HUECO MUNDO
This reaction is…
By the way, it took so long to come here, Negal Ruins.
It seems like they've arrived safely.
Great.
It seems I need more time on this one.
Although he said he'd watch through Pero and told me not to worry,
he didn't come to my rescue when I was in danger.
Didn't he?
Let's start training now.
We don't have much time left.
Yeah.
I wonder how Kurosaki is doing.
Ichigo,
you can't win against Yhwach like this.
So, I want you to surpass the Soul Reaper.
No matter what, I'll surpass it. I am here for that.
A Soul Reaper will remain a Soul Reaper
even if they practice using the Zanpakuto.
What is this?
Let's begin.
No one can enter
this sacred spiritual realm without the Soul King's permission.
Soul King?
Let me confirm
that you have the potential to surpass the Soul Reaper.
Has Ichigo been working hard?
Are you worried?
It is difficult to deal with that person.
I am not sure if he took Ichigo away for the sake of the Seireitei.
Huh?
Ah, my bad.
Forget what I just said.
Let's do what we can.
Yes.
As I said,
I'm not commanding you,
but humbly asking for your help.
Are you being humble?
Even over the phone,
I can tell you're definitely not humble.
Anyway, I'll leave it to you.
You're the only one who can pull this off.
How does it feel to be the chosen one?
Quite appealing, right?
Goodbye.
-Wait, don't hang up. -Miss Hiyori.
We have received a small package from Soul Society.
That was fast! How can a package be delivered here?
And even when we are away.
There are two senders,
Shinji Hirako and Mayuri Kurotsuchi.
Geez!
I'll just do it, damn it!
Let's fix this annoying world distortion between the Human World and Soul Society!
The team is established!
Established?
Are we in the team too?
Of course, idiot.
It's exhausting.
Fool.
This is just a training of mutual staring. It's not tiring at all.
Idiot, I'm not good at this kind of thing.
Whether it's staring at someone constantly,
or pointing a blade at my comrade.
I'm not good at pointing a blade at my comrade either.
Yes. This is Kuchiki.
Yes.
Really?
-Yes. -Who is it?
It's a call from Mr. Kirinji.
I heard that my brother has recovered.
KIRIN PALACE
You soaked quite long, huh?
You're the first person to soak in my hot spring so long.
How are you? Don't you feel strange in your head?
Don't worry.
My current strength is not enough for me to get a swelled head.
If I keep living,
I must train to be strong enough to get a swelled head.
Has he recovered?
That's great.
By the way,
when did you guys exchange phone numbers?
How talkative you guys got!
When you first got here, you could not even move.
You could only lie on the floor.
Wow, you've come a long way.
How about it?
You guys are almost ready to go inside the room and train with me, right?
-Yes! -Yes!
Ichigo?
I just thought that maybe you would know where Ichigo went.
How would I know something like that?
You don't know either, huh?
Chad, Inoue, and Ishida are also not around.
It must be related to Soul Society, right?
Excuse me.
Who is it?
You're the captain of Squad 8, right?
I haven't even introduced myself, and you already know who I am.
That's quite delightful.
What's the matter?
Since you have come in person, it must be something important, right?
Right. Today I came to inform you about an important matter.
It's about the fact that you guys must say farewell to Ichigo.
What does that mean?
It must be you guys dragging him into this again.
Don't be like that, Keigo.
You're right.
Just as you thought,
Ichigo has now gone to our place in order to protect Soul Society.
And now, the place where Ichigo has gone
is also considered a special place in Soul Society.
Given his abilities, I think he can return safely.
But what worries me is
the power he returns with.
What's the problem with that?
Depending on the type of power,
it could also be a power that affects the Human World.
If that's the case,
I can't let him return to the Human World.
This is all just your one-sided story, right?
You want to imprison Ichigo,
who went to defend the Soul Society, in the name of protecting the Human World?
Depending on the situation, it could turn out like that.
You--
You mean there's a possibility, right?
What are the chances of that happening?
The possibility may be one in ten thousand or even lower.
Actually, it's just a matter of not ruling out the possibility.
You came all the way here just to tell us about this limited likelihood?
Although that's the limited likelihood,
it isn't morally acceptable for me
not to inform you about these matters, right?
So.
Here, take these.
What is this?
This is called the Soul Ticket.
It's a pass you will need
if you ever need to visit Soul Society to find Ichigo.
What's with that look?
This isn't something that will happen soon.
There's still a long way to go before that time comes.
Are you tired, Inoue?
Let's end it for today.
I just feel so peaceful.
Peaceful, huh?
It wouldn't be strange if they attack right now.
That's true.
But you see,
as humans, we can live normally like this in Hueco Mundo,
helping those Arrancars,
and working hard for the sake of Soul Reapers.
These things make me feel wonderful.
I wish this could last forever.
I hope everyone can continue to help each other,
and cherish each other's world.
I hope that like now,
there will never be any wars.
What's going on? What happened?
What exactly is this scene?
All detectors show anomalies.
What on earth has happened?
I can't believe it.
How could… How could this happen?
Seireitei has… disappeared.
The invasion is complete.
Uryu,
do you know the Emperor Song?
Yes.
The sealed Quincy King
would regain his heartbeat in 900 years,
regain his intellect in 90 years,
and regain his power in 9 years.
Actually, that song has a sequel.
The sealed Quincy King
would regain his heartbeat in 900 years,
regain his intellect in 90 years,
regain his power in 9 years,
and regain the world
in 9 days.
Let's go, Uryu, Haschwalth.
The 9 days that will bring an end to the world have come.
The back-to-back coldness
extinguishes the restlessness of a burning blade.
