Full Episode Script

Scene: 1 Ichigo vs. Ulquiorra

Hueco Mundo, Las Noches, The 5th Tower

* Ichigo wields Moon Cutter (Zangetsu) in Bankai mode.

* Ichigo and Ulquiorra look at each other.

Orihime: Kurosaki-kun!

* Ichigo smiles in relief.

Ichigo: Get away from Inoue.

Ulquiorra: Very well. My job is to protect Las Noches until Aizen-sama returns. I have not been ordered to kill this woman yet. I'll let her live until I am ordered to do otherwise. But... you're a different story. Killing you and protecting Las Noches go hand-in-hand.

* Ulquiorra unsheathes his sword.

Ulquiorra Schiffer (4th Espada), Orihime Inoue (Aizen's Captive)

Ulquiorra: You will die... by my blade.

Ichigo: I'm surprised. I never thought that you'd start the fight with your sword already drawn. I figured I'd have to force you to draw your sword. Does this mean you've finally acknowledged me as an equal?

Ulquiorra: At the very least, I've decided you are an entity that must be destroyed.

Ichigo: Fair enough.

* They bolt at each other and clash swords. Their reiatsu flow from their attacks. Orihime uses Santen Kesshun to protect herself.

Orihime Inoue (Aizen's Captive), Three Sacred Links Shield

Orihime: Kurosaki-kun...

Scene: 2 Aizen vs. Shinigami

Living World, Karakura Town, 70m above the city, Fake Karakura Town

[ ! ]

Barragan: Well then, how should we go about this? There are numerous enemies before us. and our boss is stuck in that.

* Aizen, Gin and Tousen are shown inside Joukaku Enjou.

Tia Halibel: You're being disrespectful to Aizen-sama, Barragan.

Barragan: And you're being disrespectful to me, Halibel.

* Barragan snaps his fingers. Poww, Avirama and Ggio open a carpet. Bones come out of it to form a throne for Barragan to sit on.

Barragan: Since our boss is unable to, I shall be the one giving out the orders. I won't tolerate any objections.

[ ! ]

Tia Halibel: Silence, Mila Rose.

Starrk: That's fine.

* Lilynette hits Starrk in the head.

Starrk: Ouch! What are you doing, Lilinette?!

* She proceeds to kick his butt.

Starrk: That hurts!

Lilynette: "That's fine," my ass! Why'ee you acting so laid back?! You're always way, way too easygoing!

[ ! ]

Lilynette: Try taking things more seriously! Are you even gonna do anything?!

* Barragan turns to the Shinigami.

Barragan: You said that the spirit energy enriched land below us is a fake, correct? You switched the real town with a replica made by Soul Society, I believe. Our boss said that he doesn't mind infiltrating Soul Society and destroying it there, but is it really necessary for us to go through all that effort? I have a theory based off of what you said earlier. You set up four pillars around the town and used them to facilitate the switch. Now, what would happen if we were to destroy those pillars?

* Yamamoto says nothing.

Barragan: Findor!

Findor: Yes, sir!

* Findor blows his shorter blade to make a sound, opening Gargantas in four places around the area.

Barragan: We already know where the pillars are. Devices like this are always placed on the cardinal directions. It's the most common setup.

* Hollows come from the Gargantas.

Oomaeda: Crap!! He figured it out!! What should we do?!!

* The Hollows land on the pillars and start attacking them. Oomaeda is scared of each of them.

Oomaeda: They're breaking the pillars! They're gonna bring Karakura Town back from Soul Society! K-K-K-K-Karakura Town's going to wind up being our battlefield!

* Oomaeda screams.

Scene: 3 Shinigami vs. Espada

Oomaeda: Karakura Town's gonna come back!!

Yamamoto: You ignorant fool!

* Oomaeda points at himself.

* Soi Fon sighs.

Toushirou Hitsugaya (Captain of the 10th Division)

Yamamoto: Do you truly believe that we would leave such important locations completely unprotected?

Barragan: Hm?

Oomaeda: What?

Ikkaku: Grow, Houzukimaru!!

* Ikkaku wields Demon Light (Houzukimaru) in Shikai mode.

Yumichika: Bloom, Fuji Kujaku!

* Yumichika wields Azure Peacock (Ruri'iro Kujaku) in Incomplete mode.

Kira: Raise your head, Wabisuke!

* Kira wields Miserable Man (Wabisuke) in Shikai mode.

* Hisagi is the last one to show and doesn't release his Zanpakutou.

* All of them quickly dispatch the hollows at the pillars.

Yamamoto: We have strong fighters protecting them.

Coyote Starrk (1st Espada)

Tia Harribel (3rd Espada)

* The Espada look concerned. Oomaeda looks clueless.

Oomaeda: EEEEEEEH?! Madarame? Ayasegawa! Kira! Hisagi!

* He turns to Soi Fon, who is barely listening.

Oomaeda: Weren't they supposed to hold down the fort?! They weren't there when we all gathered up, so I felt like I was better than them! "You trust me more than you do them! Take that, you losers!" At least that's what I thought.

* He turns to Yamamoto.

Oomaeda: So what gives?! Did everyone know about this?!

Shunsui: Of course.

Oomaeda: Eh?!

Rangiku: Don't put me in the same boat as you!

Soi Fon: I already told you. You were probably too busy stuffing your face to hear what I was saying.

Rangiku: That's gotta be it! You're so stupid!

Oomaeda: No way...

Rangiku: It's your fault for zoning out while scarfing down rice cakes!

Oomaeda: What was that?! Rice cakes and zoning out have nothing to do with each other!

Soi Fon: (to herself) Maybe I didn't tell him.

* Barragan grins.

Barragan: There are four guards. What's the big deal? If you have four ants protecting the pillars, we'll merely crush them with four dragons.

Barragan: Poww!

Barragan: Cuuhlhourne!

Barragan: Avirama!

Barragan: Findor!

Barragan: Crush them.

Poww: Yes sire! As his Majesty commands!

Charlotte: Yes sire! As his Majesty commands!

Avirama: Yes sire! As his Majesty commands!

Findor: Yes sire! As his Majesty commands!

* They split in four directions.

Scene: 4 Ikkaku vs. Poww

Living World, Karakura Town, 70m above the city, Fake Karakura Town

* Ikkaku wields Demon Light (Houzukimaru) in Shikai mode.

Ikkaku Madarame (3rd Seat of the 11th Division)

Ikkaku: Oh? Fresh meat's on the way!

* Poww crushes the ground as he lands, Ikkaku jumps away. Poww stands up and covers the sunlight since he's too big.

Ikkaku: Damn it, youre huge! You'd better pray I don't kill you right away.

Poww: Pray? To whom? Do you Shinigami have a deity you believe in?

Ikkaku: Huh? (To whom?) I'll be damned, you're right. We don't really have anyone to pray to.

* Ikkaku points his weapon to Poww.

Ikkaku: Okay, fine then! I don't care who! I'll just pray to your god or whatever!

Poww: I see. I have no problem with that, then. My king, who is akin to a god, knows better than anyone else that I shall easily defeat you.

Ikkaku: Oh?

Scene: 5 Hisagi vs. Findor

Living World, Karakura Town, 70m above the city, Fake Karakura Town

Findor Carias (Barragan's Fracción)

Findor: I have something I'd like to ask you. What rank are you?

Hisagi: I'm Vice-Captain Hisagi Shuuhei, of the 9th Squad.

Findor: I see. Then I shall fight you with the same amount of stgrength expected from a vice-captain.

* Hisagi narrows his eyes.

Scene: 6 Yumichika vs. Charlotte

Living World, Karakura Town, 70m above the city, Fake Karakura Town

* Yumichika feels someone getting close and prepares to unsheathe his sword. He turns around and sees Charlotte clapping his hands and spinning.

♪♫ Now Playing: Turkish Delight ♪♫

Charlotte: Here! Here! Here! Here! Eyes over here!

Charlotte Cuuhlhourne (Barragan's Fracción)

Charlotte: I'm King Barragan's number one Fraccion, Charlotte Cuuhlhourne!

* He winks. Yumichika is back-facing him. Charlotte realizes and gets close.

Charlotte: Oh my! Oh my, oh my, oh my!

* Yumichika is forcing his eyes closed.

Yumichika: I refuse to taint my eyes with such ugliness!

Charlotte: Oh my!

* Charlotte slaps Yumichika.

Yumichika: Ouch! Wh-Wh-Wh-What the hell gives, you freak?!

Charlotte: That's totally my line! How dare you call someone ugly the first time you set eyes on them?! Listen up! People who are truly ugly are those who judge others by their appearances. Yes, just like you and your dirty heart!

* Charlotte points to Yumichika.

Charlotte: ... that line was just too perfect! That's right, I, and my pure heart, are the true embodiment of beauty! It's a beauty beyond compare! Do you understand?

* Yumichika shuts his face again.

Yumichika Ayasegawa (5th Seat of the 11th Division), Charlotte Cuuhlhourne (Barragan's Fracción)

* They both clash their swords.

Charlotte: These are great thoughts. At least look at me you skanky twink!

Yumichika: I don't have to look at you and those lines stank, you skeevy beast!

Charlotte: Look at me already! C'mon!

Yumichika: I don't wanna!

Charlotte: C'mon! C'mon! C'mon already!

* Yumichika finally opens his eyes.

Yumichika: Stop it! Get that ugly face or yours away from me!

* Yumichika knocks Charlotte back. Charlotte is enraged and attacks back.

Charlotte: You said it again! Again! You called me ugly!

Yumichika: I'll say more than that! You're fug-pug-ugly!

* They exchange attacks.

Scene: 7 Kira vs. Avirama

Living World, Karakura Town, 70m above the city, Fake Karakura Town

* Avirama roars. Kira watches warily.

Avirama: I can do it! I can do it! I can do it!

* He points forward.

Avirama: Who is the most courageous member of King Barragan's Fracción?!

* He points to himself.

Avirama: I am!

* Kira narrows his eyes.

Avirama: Who's the most trustworthy member of King Barragan's Fracción?! I am!

* Kira stares at him in disbelief.

Avirama: Who's the strongest member of King Barragan's Fracción?! I am!

* Avirama does some kung-fu-like poses.

Avirama Redder (Barragan's Fracción)

Avirama: I can do it! I can do it! I can do it!

* Silence.

Avirama: ... hey. Hey, you! Why aren't you doing it with me, Mr. Doom-and-Gloom?

♪♫ Now Playing: Diago 45 Degrees Tango ♪♫

Kira: Why aren't I doing what? Playing that screaming game?

Avirama: What do you mean "screaming game"?! This isn't a game! Are you making fun of me?! This is my ceremony. A ceremony where we scream out our desire to trash each other and inspire one another before the fight! Here we go! C'mon! One-two-!

* Kira sighs.

Avirama: I can do it! I can do it! I can do it! I can--

* Avirama looks at Kira.

Avirama: Do it!!

Kira: I'd really rather not. I have no desire to join some depressing ceremony where you pour your soul into wanting to destroy your enemy.

Avirama: I don't wanna hear that from a guy who's got "emo" written all over his face! Bah! They saddled me with a real stick in the mud. Whatever. I'm Avirama Redder from King Barragan's Fracción. What's your name, Shinigami?

Kira: Vice-Captain of the 3rd Squad, Kira Izuru.

Avirama: The 3rd Squad?

♪♫ Now Playing: On the Verge of Insanity ♪♫

Avirama: So that's it. You served under Ichimaru Gin.

* Kira freezes.

Avirama: Makes sense. I heard that he ditched you and left you in Soul Society. I can see why.

* Flashback shows Gin visiting Kira in jail, and then his fight with Rangiku, and then Momo.

Avirama: No one would stick with a wiener like you.

* A piece of Avirama's mask is cut off. Kira appears a few steps behind him.

Kira: Don't you dare say that name in front of me.

* Avirama's face is also cut.

Kira: Since you're about to die, I assume you'd prefer it to be painless?

Avirama: What's this? SO you can do it after all. There's a good look in your eyes!

Scene: Next Preview

Hisagi: It's been a while since I've been on the air.

Kira: Hisagi-san, please don't get too excited.

Hisagi: I'm not that excited! I mean, I don't have a secret plan to get really popular by showing off how awesome I am or anything.

Kira: No one said you did.

Scene: Omake Substitute Shinigami Work Diary

Living World, Karakura Town, Kurosaki Family's House

Rukia: Substitute Shinigami are supposed to teach Shinigami about the real world.

* Inside Ichigo's room...

Ichigo: They're fine.

Soul Society, Sereitei, Headquarters, 6th Division Barracks

Byakuya: A souvenir from your business trip?

* Renji is wearing flamboyant, star-shaped glasses on his forehead.

Byakuya: No, thank you.
