Guidelines For Using My Translations

1
[Insert text: Deep below the crushing waters......]
Barro: Rlghh.........

2
Barro: (............This...... // ...cannot be.....................)

3
Barro: (No matter how I flap my wings............ // The water’s surface only fades further into the distance.........!)
Shunsui: Well, isn’t that obvious? // We threw ourselves in here to die. // It’s far too late to try flying away. // Though of course... // It’s not as if I don’t understand how you feel.

4
Shunsui: If you hurl yourself into such cold waters... // It’s hardly surprising if your resolve freezes up. // But such thoughts are nothing but your own selfishness. // Shameful would be putting it lightly.
Ohana: Yet it is the way of a woman... // ...to take mercy upon her man’s shamefulness by not leaving him behind. // Would you not agree?
[Side text: Branded by love, their voices become as one.........]
[Bleach 649]

5
Ohana: Sakuranosuke.
[The Theatre Suicide]
Shunsui: ......It’s been a while. // Ohana.
[Scene 3]

6
Ohana: “Ohana”, did you call me? / That’s an awfully familiar form of address. // I wonder how you have the nerve to address me so... / ...when you so seldom deign to play with me.
Shunsui: Don’t be like that, Ohana. // I’m sorry, really I am.
Ohana: Why, just look at your kimono. It’s all torn up. // You bring it upon yourself, I must say, by always wearing the kimono of another woman. // Look where it’s got you now.
Shunsui: You never change, do you? // You always love to tease.

7
Ohana: Tease you I may, but as master and blade... // Have we not sworn to put love and hate behind us... // ...and fall together like the autumn leaves?
Barro: .........Who are you speaking to?

8
Barro: Do you believe this fight to be over? // Do you think... / ...you can kill me? // As if the Bankai of a mere Shinigami... // ...would be able to take my life!!!

9
Shunsui: Few things are as cruel as a woman’s mercy. // She has no ears for her lover’s desperate pleas. // At his precious throat she spies... // ...glistening white threads, damp with regret. // Thus she resolves to sever with her own hands... // ...those threads of regret... // ...that pitifully entwine him. // The climax is upon us. // Final Act...

14
Shunsui: Ah... // To think I’d be so lucky as to rest my head in your lap... / Perhaps I should use my Bankai more often. // Ahhh!

15
Shunsui: Please don’t do that... // This is the only eye I’ve got left, you know!
Ohana: To think your face would come to match mine. // The bond between blade and Shinigami works in mysterious ways. // But be that as it may... // At least you have won this battle.
Shunsui: Oh? // What’s this? / You’re awfully agreeable today.
Ohana: Enough words from you, half-dead man.
Shunsui: ...Listen... // Ohana, I.........

Ohana/Shunsui: !!

Barro: ......I told you...... // I told you......! // The Bankai of a mere Shinigami... // ...could never take the life of an envoy of God!!!
