-102: Turn Back The Pendulum 7
[side text: A terrible situation!!]
Yamamoto: This is an emergency!

2
Yamamoto: According to this report from the front-line Ninth Division camp, // the reiatsu of the Captain of that Division, Muguruma Kensei, and also that of his Lieutenant, Kuna Mashiro, both of whom were known to be camping at the scene of their investigation, has disappeared completely. // The cause is unknown! // This is one of the worst scenarios we could possibly find ourselves facing! // What was up until yesterday a simple investigation into some unusual occurrences in Rukongai... // ...has become a case that we of the Gotei 13 must do whatever it takes to solve, with our very pride at stake!

3
Yamamoto: As such, we will now proceed to choose five of the Captains present here... // ...to head to the scene of the incident in person, immediately! // You are late. // Urahara Kisuke.
Urahara: *pant* // *pant* // *pant*

4
Urahara: Please... // ...grant me permission to go...!
Yamamoto: Denied.
Urahara: My adjutant is on her way to the scene of this incident! // I must...

5
Yoruichi: KISUKE!!!
Urahara: !
Yoruichi: Stop disgracing yourself and focus! // You chose her to go out there yourself, did you not?! // Do you not understand what a grave insult it is to her if you show no faith in her abilities?!!
Yamamoto: ...Let us continue.

6
Yamamoto: Third Division Captain, Ootoribashi Roujuurou.
[TN: I can see why he chooses to go by just "Rose", with a name like that. Ouch :p]
Yamamoto: Fifth Division Captain, Hirako Shinji. // Seventh Division Captain, Aikawa Love. // These three Captains are to head to the scene of the incident immediately. // Second Division Captain Shihouin Yoruichi, you are to remain on standby and await further orders. // Sixth Division Captain Kuchiki Ginrei, Eighth Division Captain Kyouraku Shunsui, and Thirteenth Division Captain Ukitake Juushirou are to ensure that Seireitei is fully defended.

7
Yamamoto: Fourth Division Captain Unohana Retsu, you are to stand by in your own office and prepare to provide immediate relief for any casualties that may emerge.
Unohana: I bid you wait, Captain-Commander. // Surely if you wish to prioritise immediate treatment of any casualties, then I should be sent to the scene itself?
Yamamoto: As long as the situation remains unclear, it would be unwise to mobilise the head of our healing forces. // I have someone else in mind to attend to the scene itself. // Enter.

8
[TN: Awesome ^^]
Ukitake: ...Tsukabishi Tessai... // It's been a long time since I've seen him appear in public...
Shunsui: Well, this has become quite the situation. // Hey there.

9
[box: Leader of the Kidou Corps / Kidou Chief / Tsukabishi Tessai]
[box: Kidou Corps / Vice Kidou Chief / Ushouda Hachigen]
Yamamoto: You have been briefed on the situation. // I would like the two of you on the front lines.
Tessai: Very well.
Hachi: Understood.

10
Shunsui: He~~~~~y... // Yama-jii~! // Well, / sorry to bother you... // But, well... // Isn't it a bit of a bad idea... / ...to send both the Kidou Chief and the Vice Kidou Chief out to the front lines when we're not sure of the situation...?
Yamamoto: .................. // ...What would you suggest?

11
Shunsui: Why don't you send my Lieutenant out there instead?
Ukitake: ...You're going to call her, just like that?
Shunsui: Sure. / He~~~~~y, Lisa-cha~~n!
Lisa: What?!
Shunsui: Y'see?
Ukitake: ...............
Shunsui: Now, how many times have I told you not to peek in on private Captain meetings?
Lisa: Yeah, like that's gonna work! / The more you try an' hide something away, the more people want to see it!
Shunsui: You heard?
Lisa: ...I heard you.
Shunsui: Can you handle it?
Lisa: Of course!

12
Shunsui: Well, then... / Good luck.
Yamamoto: ...Deciding on your own, are you......?
Shunsui: Well, it's not very often we get the chance to witness a major incident like this, now, is it? // I'm just thinking of my subordinate; I want to give her this precious experience. / That's if you don't mind, of course. // But don't worry... // She may not look it, but she's quite the tough one, our Lisa-chan. // Well, that's how it is, so would you mind letting her handle this in your place? // Kidou Chief-san.

13
Tessai: I have no objections.
[TN: ...And thus I do believe that we now have all the future Visored, and only the future Visored, out on the front lines. Somehow I don't think this is a coincidence.]
Tessai: If I am no longer needed here, then, // I shall be taking my leave.
Yamamoto: In that case... Ootoribashi Roujuurou, Hirako Shinji, Aikawa Love, / Ushouda Hachigen and Yadoumaru Lisa. // I hereby declare these five Shinigami... / ...the Soul Disappearance Incident Special Investigation Team!!

14
Shunsui: ...Don't worry. // Hiyori-chan's a strong girl. // Well... // Not as strong as our Lisa-chan, mind you. // ...Oh, come now, get that pained look off your face. // Waiting patiently, believing in your subordinates... // ...is all part of a Captain's job.

15
Hiyori: *pant* // *pant* // *pant* // *pant* // *pant* // *pant* // Ugh...

16
Hiyori: ..................

17
Hiyori: Shit...

18
Hiyori: ......Shinji...!
Shinji: Dumbass. // Why ain't you drawn your sword?
Hiyori: ...Dumbass.

19
Hiyori: ...How the hell could I do that...?
Shinji: ...Kensei......?!
[TN: And the pieces begin to fall into place. We have our first Visored transformation... and something tells me there are more soon to follow. I just hope we get to see them all display some of their proper Shinigami abilities before they go all Hollow-y :p]
