[Side text: Ichigo in silent meditation...!! Will he be able to master this "final Getsuga Tenshou" of which Isshin speaks!?]
Isshin: What are you dodging for?!! // Are you an idiot?!
Ichigo: If I didn't dodge, you would've smacked me in the head!!

2
Isshin: The fact that you can dodge my punch is proof that you're not devoting your full attention to your blade! / Now concentrate!! // Are you not even able to converse with your Zanpakutou properly?!!
Ichigo: ...Yeah, I know. // It's just that I've never actually talked to old man Zangetsu under such calm, controlled circumstances before. / I'm not really sure what I ought to be doing...
Isshin: Cross your legs and place your blade upon your lap! // Devote your entire consciousness to the blade itself! / That's all there is to it!
Ichigo: Yeah, I get that in theory, but.........

3
Flashback!Ichigo: ...The final......... // ...Getsuga Tenshou.........?!
Flashback!Isshin: ...That's right.
Flashback!Ichigo: And you can teach me it here...? // What do you mean by that...?

4
Flashback!Isshin: This realm, the Dangai, // is an isolated space, surrounded by layers upon layers of fierce temporal torrents.
Flashback!Ichigo: R... Right...? / I see...
Flashback!Isshin: It doesn't matter if you don't understand. // The important thing is, compared to the outside world, the density of time in here is abnormally high. // To be precise, it's two thousand times denser! // For every year that goes by in the outside world, two thousand years pass in here.
Flashback!Ichigo: ...What......?!
Flashback!Isshin: Long ago, the Dangai was used not only as a passage between Soul Society and the human world, but also as a land of exile. // That is why the Current and the Cleaner originally existed.

5
Flashback!Isshin: If a person is caught by the Current, they will never be able to escape the Dangai, and ultimately meet their end. // If pursued by the Cleaner, they will be propelled out of sync with their original time axis. // It's for this reason that when you first entered Soul Society, with the Cleaner on your tail... // ...you arrived a few days out of line with your expected time of arrival. // Although... / ...it's only thanks to Urahara's impressive technical skill that you ended up misplaced by only a few days. // Ordinarily, you'd be propelled hundreds of years, and your body, unable to keep up with the sheer force of the timestream, would perish.
Flashback!Ichigo: ...........................
Flashback!Isshin: However. // Right now, the Cleaner isn't here. / That gives us the perfect opportunity to buy some time.

6
Flashback!Isshin: The temporal density inside the Dangai is 2000 times that of the outside world. / In other words... // You can spend 2000 hours training in here, and only a single hour will have passed when you leave. // Soul Society may have no way of stopping the Cleaner... // ...but the Current, at least, we can prevent.

7
Flashback!Isshin: This is called Boundary Pinning. // Ordinarily, it's carried out by a team of ten ordinary Shinigami supplying enough reiatsu to hold the Current in place... // ...but I can provide that reiatsu on my own. // I'll hold down the Current until my reiatsu runs out completely. // I'd say 2000 hours is a reasonable estimate of how long that will take. / In other words, a little under three months.

8
Flashback!Isshin: You're gonna use that time... // ...to do a little interrogating.
Flashback!Ichigo: Interrogating......?
Flashback!Isshin: Yeah. / You're gonna get that sword of yours... / ...to reveal the truth to you... // ...about the "final Getsuga Tenshou"!

9
Flashback!Isshin: That form you're sitting in... // ...is called "Jinzen".
[TN: "Blade Zen"]
Flashback!Isshin: It's a form that has been developed... / ...over thousands of years, since the foundation of Soul Society... / ...for the purpose of conversing with one's Zanpakutou. // Ichigo. / All the techniques you've learned up until this point... / ...you've managed to obtain through sheer force, haven't you? // ...Do you get it?

10
Flashback!Isshin: If you want to progress any further... // ...you're going to have to take your first steps in facing up to... / ...those thousands of years of history you haven't touched upon until now...! // Now go... // ...Ichigo......!

Keigo: What the heck...? // What the heck is all this...? What's going on...?! // Everyone seems to be passed out on the streets... // The cars and traffic lights aren't moving at all...

13
Keigo: It's just not right...! / It feels like I'm looking at the end of the world or something...! // This is no dream... and it's no movie, either...! // Come on already~~~~~~~~~~~~! // There has to be someone awake here besides me~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~!! // Guaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhh!! // That hurt, dammit!! // What was that - // ...ahh...

14
Keigo: Arisawa!!! // Thank God~~~~~~~~~~~~~!! // Even if it is you, it's great to finally meet another human being~~~~~~~~~!! // I mean, have you seen what's going on? / Everyone's totally just zonked right out on the streets! // I thought I might really be the only person awake in the whole of the world!! It was so lonely~~~~!! // Ahhh, but it's great that we're at least alive, right?!! / I mean, it's not like I was worried about you or anything... Heck, I feel like I'm the one who needs worrying about right now! // Hey, you haven't seen Mizuiro anywhere, have you? I haven't found him yet!! // Gahh! Is a Lariat really the way to shut someone - / - up - ?!

15
Tatsuki: ...Damn, you're annoying.
Keigo: ...Right. // ...I'm very sorry. // ...I just got so emotional all of a sudden, y'know...
Tatsuki: How long are you going to stand there making excuses?! / That's enough! // Just get over here, okay?!
Keigo: Wha - ?! / Honshou! Ogawa!!
Tatsuki: I found them both. / I'm going to take them over to the school. / You carry Chizuru, okay?

16
Tatsuki: And no groping her butt!
Keigo: All right already!! // ...Say... / ...Arisawa...
Tatsuki: What?
Keigo: Honshou has surprisingly big boobs for - / Mngpffh...!
Tatsuki: ...While we're here... // I'll tell you everything I've figured out from what I've seen. // I tried walking out to the edge of the town... / ...but at a certain point it just cuts off completely, and beyond that, it's just mountains. // So while it may seem crazy, I think the whole town must have been moved somewhere.
Keigo: ...D'you think... // ...it has something to do with Ichigo...?

17
Tatsuki: 'Course it does! // Who else would it be?! // ...But... // ...if it's Ichigo's fault that things ended up like this... // ...I'm sure he'll be the one to do something about it. // That's just... // ...the kind of guy he is.

18
Aizen: ...I see. // An odd sight to find here in Soul Society. // Still... / ...it will not be here for much longer.

19
Isshin: ...Looks like he's in. // You be careful in there... / You're about to see that Zangetsu of yours... // ...go really wild...!!
