Bleach 239

Draft Notes: Some of Tatsuki's rant still doesn't have the right feeling to it, plus I had no idea what to make of some of the kanji in her last rant on page 13 (No Aki/JP dictionary at 2 am, heh). Otherwise, this is pretty complete. There was no advance JP script this week since 2ch's Kaien had to be away from his computer for periods long enough not to allow him to type up the entire chapter's worth of dialogue. Hence, this week the script had to use the raw.

I'll see you with some edits tomorrow if I get a chance to touch things up.

Mashiro: HE~~~~~Y GUY~~~~S!! Get a load of this~~~!!!

Hirako: What the?

Mashiro: No idea!

Hirako: Don't go around picking up strange stuff, dummy!

Mashiro: I couldn't help it! It was just sitting around outside!! Oi!!

Hirako: ...Fresh bandages, the ones we lent him...? Ichigo... Why didn't he just do this in person, that freak...

(Note: Thank you.)

Bleach c239 - Winged Eagles
_________________________________________________
Title Tie-In: There is no real solid reference to the titular "eagles" again this week. For all intents and purposes though, the chapter's "eagles" would be last week's "Eagle Without Wings" (Ichigo), along with Sado and Ishida.

(Scene shift to Karakura 1st High School, Ochi-sensei's class.)

Ochi: Ku~~~ Ro~~~ Sa~~~ Ki~~~

Ochi: Well, well, long time no see, right?

Ochi: Why'd you ship out on me like that? Do you even want to graduate now? Well, what do you have to say for yourself?

Ichigo: ...Er... Nice glasses, they new?

Ochi: Well, what a nice try, my dear! BUT THEY'RE 3 WEEKS OLD ALREADY!

Ichigo: Ah!

--------- Page 05 ---------
Keigo: ICHIGO! ICHIGO! ICHIGO! ICHI...

Keigo: GO~~~~!!!

Keigo: IT'S BEEN AGEEE---

Mizuiro: Really though, it really has been a while! What've you been missing a month of school for? You've been worrying me! Heck, you wouldn't even answer your cell.

Ichigo: Heh, ...my bad, I've been tied up, that's all.

Mizuiro: ...

Mizuiro: Oh, yeah. Here are those Bad Shield 2 sneak peek passes that I broke to you a while back. Here you are.

Translation Notes: "Bad Shield 2" is a nod to one of Kubo's early one-shots called "Bad Shield United." If Viz Media plays their cards right, they'll eventually release it in English when more volumes of Kubo's first serial publication, Zombie Powder, get published!

Ichigo: ...When's it screening?

Mizuiro: Eh? Oh, umm the 5th of December.

Ichigo: ...Got it. I promise I'll return to see it then.

Ichigo: Thanks a lot, man.

Mizuiro: Ichi...

???: ICHIGO!!!

---------- Page 07 ---------
Ichigo: ...You want something?

---------- Page 08 ---------
Tatsuki: ...I can't find Orihime anywhere...! ...She's not home... not anywhere...

Tatsuki: ...I stopped being able to feel her presence just a day ago... it just vanished... I can't find her anywhere I look... ...Ichigo.

Tatsuki: You know about it. I know you do. Where is she?

Ichigo: ...What the heck are you ranting about? Why me? Do you even know for sure she's gone? Try a few more sweeps, sheesh....

---------- Page 09 ---------
Tatsuki: DON'T PLAY GAMES WITH ME!!!

Tatsuki: I've always known about it, Ichigo...! I could always sense her aura, but now she's totally gone! For just a short time, she was here, but blotted out... It was just a feeling, but it was still there... Now as of yesterday, I can't even feel that tiny little bit! You know why it disappeared! Ichigo!!

Ichigo: The hell! Didn't I just say I had no idea!? Do you know what you're even talking about!? You've gone nuts!!

Tatsuki: ...You... Do you really think I'm blind to all this...?

---------- Page 10 ---------
Tatsuki: I saw everything. You were in that black get-up... Fighting all those horrible monsters...!

Tatsuki: I beg you... Please drop the act... ...Tell me what you know.

Ichigo: ...What I know... Has got nothing to do with you.

Random Student A: Whoa!

Random Student B: Yikes!

Keigo: Arisawa!

---------- Page 12 ---------
Keigo: Have you lost it, Arisawa!? You just go around socking people!?

Mizuiro: Are you all right, Ichigo?

Tatsuki: ...Who do you think I am...

Tatsuki: What have I been to you!!!? Haven't we been friends all this time!? Weren't we always this way!!?

---------- Page 13 ---------
Tatsuki: Remember when you were sitting around being difficult when we were kids!? We agreed... from that day on!!

Tatsuki: I said...

Tatsuki: ...that you... would never, ever ... have to keep secrets from me....

Tatsuki: ...You stupid idiot...

Mizuiro: Ichigo...

Ichigo: Keigo, Mizuiro. Please, take care of her. And...

---------- Page 14 ---------
Ichigo: ...Don't ever get mixed up in what I'm doing.

(Scene change to the Urahara Shoten)

Urahara: ------Hey there, better late than never,

Urahara: Kurosaki-san.

Ichigo: ...Funny, what made you say that?

Urahara: Well, well. I was sure that you'd zero me in as being the only person that'd be able to smuggle you into Hueco Mundo. You deduced correctly ...all the prep work ...is now complete.

---------- Page 16 ---------
Urahara: ...To tell you the truth, I had been factoring in Aizen taking interest in Orihime's powers for some time now. I wanted to eliminate the threat to her well-being by taking her out of the fight against the enemy. But...

Urahara: My calculations failed.

Urahara: In hindsight, damaging her morale by removing her from battle was a costly error.

Urahara: ...One that I could've prevented; so for that, I resolved to aid you in retrieving her.

Ichigo: ...Are you really fine with this? This would cause an uproar with all of Soul Society's planning.

Urahara: ...My past is nothing but uproars in Soul Society, that's how I got to where I am now.

---------- Page 17 ---------
???: What a totally screwed up face you've got on, Ichigo!

Ichigo: Ishida...! Why... are you here...?

Ishida: Do I have to spell it out? I'm coming with you, Ichigo.

---------- Page 18 ---------
Ichigo: Chad...!

Sado: ...Urahara-san told us what we needed to know. ...We're going too.

Ichigo: ...No, I really appreciate the gesture, but Chad, Ishida, your pow---

Sado: ------Ichigo.

---------- Page 19-20 ---------
(Sado's new armored arm crashes against Ichigo, who barely manages to block with Zangetsu. The surrounding area is rocked by an explosion.)

---------- Page 21 ---------
Sado: ...How was that...was it up to par...? ...Ichigo...

Ichigo: Chad...

Sado: ...Confide in us, this struggle doesn't have to be just yours, it's all of ours, just like how friends should do things...!

---------- Page 22 ---------
Urahara: Well no~~~~~w! Is everything all settled here~~~?

Urahara: ...Ah, it seems that we're finally ready. ------Let's go.
