317. Six Hearts Will Beat As One
[Top text: Summer... // ...a perfect day.]

4
Ulquiorra: ...Ridiculous.

5
Ulquiorra: You feel no fear because your nakama are here? // Don't tell me... / ...you actually mean that?
Orihime: Yes.

6
Orihime: ...When I first heard that they had all come here to save me, // I was a little happy... // ...and incredibly sad. // I only came here to protect all of them... / Why did they have to come after me...? // Why couldn't they understand...? That's what I thought. // But...

7
Orihime: When I felt Kuchiki-san collapse... // When I saw Kurosaki-kun fighting... // Suddenly none of that seemed to matter any more. // I just hoped that Kurosaki-kun wouldn't get hurt... // ...Just... // ...hoped that everybody would be all right. // And that was when... / I realised.

8
Orihime: "Ahhh," I thought... // "This is how everyone else must have felt." // Because if any one of them... // ...were ever to suddenly disappear, the way I did... // I'm sure I, too, // would do exactly the same thing...

Ludbone: The invasor... // ...Kurosaki Ichigo-dono has been sighted.

11
Ludbone: I am Ludbone... // Captain of the Exequias. // I am here... // ...to take your life.
Ichigo: Sorry, but... // I don't have time to be messing around with punks like you...

12
Ichigo: ...Getsuga... // Ngh... // Shit... // How many of these guys ARE there...?!!

13
Renji: Hahahahahahahahahah!!!

14
Renji: And one more time...!!!
Ichigo: Renji!!

15
Chad: El... // ...Diablo.

16
Ichigo: Chad!!
Ludbone: ...You fools. // Do not allow these unforeseen factors to distract you.
Rukia: Tsugi no Mai...

17
Rukia: ...Hakuren!!!
Ludbone: !!
Ichigo: Rukia!!

18
Rukia: We can save the pleasantries for later! // Hurry on ahead, Ichigo!!
Ichigo: ...Gotcha.

19
Orihime: ...That's right... // ...Maybe it's impossible to feel exactly the same way as another person... / ...but... // It's possible for people to care about one another... / ...and to place their hearts as close together as they can manage. // I'm sure that's what it means... // ...to make your hearts "as one"...

20
Ulquiorra: ...Hearts, you say? // You humans are always so quick to speak of such things. // As though you carry your hearts in the very palms of your hands. // But this eye of mine perceives all. // There is nothing that it overlooks. // If this eye cannot see a thing, then it does not exist. // That is the assumption under which I have always fought. // What is this "heart"? // If I tear open that chest of yours, will I see it there? // If I smash open that skull of yours... // ...will I see it there?
