Sidetext：心新たに尸魂界を守ると誓った隊長達！ 一方一護の卍解に異変！？
With renewed spirits, the captains vow to defend Soul Society!

？？？？：よっしゃ　よっしゃ
Alright, alright
？？？？：集まっとるかね
I guess we’re all here then

？？？？：隊士諸君
Fellow squad members

Page 02
Ichigo：無理！？
You can’t do it!?

Ichigo：なんでだよ！？
Why the hell not!?
Ichigo：あんた自分の斬魄刀折ってから直したりしてたろ！！
You fixed your Zanpakutou after you broke it, didn’t you!?
Mayuri：馬鹿かネ
Not too bright, are we?

Mayuri：私のは“治してる”んじゃない
I didn’t “fix” it
Mayuri：“改造してる”んだヨ
I “modified” it

Page 03
Mayuri：斬魄刀を治せるのはただ
The ability to fix a Zanpakuto
Mayuri：所有者自身の精神
Is simply a matter of its master’s mind
Mayuri：霊圧
Their Reiatsu
Mayuri：そしてそれを斬魄刀に注ぎ込む為の時間
And time spent devoting each of those things to the Zanpakutou
Mayuri：それだけだ
Nothing more

Ichigo：・・・わかった
…Alright then
Ichigo：つまり持って帰って自分で直すしかねえってことだな
In other words, the only thing I can do is take it back and fix it myself
Ichigo：それじゃあ・・・
In the case, see ya-
Mayuri：話は最後まで聞き給えヨ
Listen to everything I have to say

Mayuri：今の話は「始解」の話
What I have told you just now pertains to destruction in “Shikai”
Mayuri：斬魄刀の破壊は始解と卍解でまるで意味が異なる
A Zanpakutou’s destruction in Bankai has a completely different significance

Mayuri：破壊された卍解は
A destroyed Bankai
Mayuri：二度と元には戻らないのだヨ
Will never again return to its original state

Page 04
Ichigo：な・・・・・・・・・・・・
Wha…………

Mayuri：無論例外は有る
There are, of course, exceptions

Mayuri：狛村左陣の黒縄天譴明王は
In the case of Komamura Sajin’s Kokujou Tengen Myouou
Mayuri：所有者と斬魄刀が極端に強く結びついているため
The master and the Zanpakutou are connected through an extremely strong bond
Mayuri：卍解が破壊されると所有者自身も負傷するという大きな欠点が有る
Because of this, the Bankai has a significant weakness in that, if it is destroyed, then its master also incurs injury
Mayuri：だがその代わりに
But the other side of that
Mayuri：所有者の傷が癒えれば斬魄刀も復活する
Is that when the master recovers, so too does the Zanpakutou

Mayuri：私は研究の為に全隊士の卍解を把握しているが
For research purposes, I am aware of every squad member’s Bankai

Mayuri：今の所の例外はその一振りのみだ
But at the present time, that Zanpakutou is the sole exception

Mayuri：エドラド・リオネスとの戦いで破壊された斑目一角の卍解は
It seems that Madarame Ikkaku had Akon forcibly repair the form of his Bankai
Mayuri：阿近に無理矢理形だけ修復させた様だが
Which was destroyed during his battle with Edrad Liones
Mayuri：本来の能力には到底及ばない
But its capabilities are nowhere near their original levels

Page 05
Ichigo：一角が卍解・・・！？
Ikkaku has Bankai…!?
Mayuri：オット
Oops
Mayuri：此れは機密にしてくれと言っていたんだったかネ
I suppose he did tell me to keep that classified
Mayuri：マア　どちらでも良い事だヨ
But it doesn’t really matter

Ichigo：・・・じゃあ・・・
…Well…
Ichigo：恋次の卍解はどうなんだよ・・・
What about Renji’s Bankai…?

Ichigo：あいつの卍解は白哉の戦いで一度壊れたって・・・
I heard it was broken during his fight with Byakuya…
Mayuri：奴の卍解の刃節の数を
I don’t suppose you’ve counted
Mayuri：君は数えて知っているのかネ？
The number of blade joints on his Bankai, have you?

Mayuri：朽木白哉に破壊された狒狒王蛇尾丸の刃節は―――――
The blade joints of Hihiou Zabimaru that were destroyed by Kuchiki Byakuya-------

Mayuri：あの時以来
Have remained that way
Mayuri：壊れたままだヨ
Ever since

Page 06
Ichigo：・・・なんだよ・・・
…What the hell…?

Ichigo：それじゃあどうすれば・・・
So what should I d-
Kon：うおおおおお――――ッ！！！

Ichigo：え？

Kon：わかるだろオイ！！

Ichigo：お・・・おう・・・
Y-Yeah…
Ichigo：何だその・・しばらく見ねえ間にお前・・
What’s with the..uh, I haven’t seen you in a while..
Ichigo：・・・成長したな・・・・・・・・・・・・
…You’ve, uh, grown…………
Kon：やめて！！
Stop it!!
Kon：ダメになった部分に気をつかって優しく表現するのやめて！！
Don’t try to be all nice and tiptoe around talking about this awful part of me!!

Kon：聞いてくれよ一護！！
Listen to me, Ichigo!!
Kon：ここんとこのこの俺の苦難の歴史・・・
Listen to the history of my suffering in this place…
SFX：ピッ
Beep!

Squad 12 Members：小さくなったぞー！！
He’s small now!!
Kon：ギャ――――
Gyaaaaahh
Squad 12 Members：捕まえろ！！
Get him!!
Mayuri：まァそういう訳でだ・・・
Well, there you have it…
Ichigo?：ああッ！！
Ah!!
Ichigo?：サラッと本題に戻ったー！！
He just went right back to the original topic!!

Page 09
Mayuri’s headset：ピピピッ
Beep beep beep
Mayuri：！
!

Mayuri’s headset：カチッ
Click
Mayuri：私だ
It’s me

Mayuri：―――――そうか
-------I see
Mayuri：やはりネ
I expected as much
Mayuri：分かった
Understood
Mayuri：すぐに向かうヨ
I’ll make my way there at once

Mayuri：・・・ついて来給え
…Come with me
Mayuri：黒崎一護
Kurosaki Ichigo

Mayuri：君は会っておいた方がいい
Although I don’t have the slightest desire to do so
Mayuri：私は微塵も会いたくなどないがネ
You should meet these people

Mayuri：零番隊サマの
Squad Zero
Mayuri：お出ましだヨ
Is going to grace us with their presence

Page 10 + Page 11
Insert text：嵐の前の静けさ
The calm before the storm

Page 12
Ichigo：平子！
Hirako!

Shinji：なんや一護見物か？
Come to watch, Ichigo?
Shinji：あんまりオススメせえへんで
I can’t really recommend it

Ichigo：零番隊ってのはどっちから来るんだ？
So where does this Squad Zero come from?
Ichigo：ていうか
Or rather
Ichigo：瀞霊廷がこんなになるまで出て来ないなんて
They don’t show up until something like this happens to Seireitei
Ichigo：普段どこに居るんだよ？
So where’re they usually at?

Kyouraku：「霊王宮」だよ
In the “Royal Spirit Palace”

Page 13
Ichigo：京楽さん
Kyouraku-san
Ichigo：霊王宮って・・・？
The Royal Spirit Palace…?
Ichigo：それって瀞霊廷の中にはないのか・・・？
Is that not in Seireitei or something…?
Kyouraku：キミ達が最初に瀞霊廷に来た時・・・・・・・・・
Do you remember when you all first came to Seireitei………

Kyouraku：瀞霊廷の壁が降ってきたのを覚えてるかい
And a wall came down around it?

Kyouraku：この瀞霊壁はここしばらく瀞霊廷が騒がしいから常にここを取り囲んでるが
Seireitei’s been seeing a lot of action for a while now so the wall’s been up constantly
Kyouraku：本来は“緊急時に瀞霊廷を取り囲んで守るもの”だ
But it’s originally supposed to be something that surrounds and protects Seireitei in times of crisis
Kyouraku：それじゃあ
So

Kyouraku：緊急時に瀞霊廷を守るなら
If the wall protects Seireitei in times of crisis
Kyouraku：その壁は普段は何処を守ってる？
What does it protect normally?

Kyouraku：ほら
Look
Kyouraku：来るよ
Here they come

Page 14
Ichigo：・・・これは・・・
…What’s that…?

Page 15
Kyouraku：天柱輦
The Tenchuuren*
Kyouraku：零番隊の移動用の乗り物さ
Squad Zero’s method of transportation
*TN: Heavenly Pillar Palanquin

Kyouraku：あの中に零番隊が
All members of Squad Zero
Kyouraku：全員入ってる
Are inside

Ichigo：全員！？
All of them!?
Ichigo：あのせまい中に・・・！！
In that tiny thing…!?

Kyouraku：零番隊に隊士はいない
Squad Zero doesn’t have soldiers
Kyouraku：全構成人員五人は全員が隊長
The five who compose it are all captains

Kyouraku：そして―――――――
And---------

Page 16 + Page 17
Kyouraku：その五人の総力は
The combined might of those five
Kyouraku：十三隊全軍以上だ
Is greater than that of all 13 squads

Insert text：遂に現れる！！
They finally appear!!
