01)
side: Ichigo, quietly meditating...!! Will he be able to acquire the "Final Getsuga Tenshou" Isshin is talking about?!
1: Why did you dodge?!
2: Are you crazy?!
3: It'd hurt if I didn't!!

02)
1(2b): The fact that you were able to dodge my fist proves your heart isn't completely focused on your sword! Concentrate!!
2: Can't you even carry on a proper conversation with your Zanpakutou?!
3: ...I know, I know.
4(2b): But I've never gone to that Zanpakutou guy's place in such a calm state before. I don't really know what to do...
5: Place your sword over your lap and get into a meditative pose!
6(2b): Squeeze your heart into your blade! That's all there is to it!
7: Well, I understand that part, but...

03)
1: ...the final...
2: Getsuga Tenshou...!?
3: ...that's right.
4: Here, I can teach it to you...
5: What do you mean...?

04)
1: The "Precipice World"
2: Is a place in which severed space is piled up on top of one another, surrounded by raging streams of time.
3(2b): Oh...kay...? I see...
4: It doesn't matter whether you understand or not.
5: The point is, the density of time within this place is extremely high when compared to the outside.
6: To put it in numbers, I'd say 2000 times denser!
7: When one year passes in the outside world, 2000 years pass here.
8: ...eh...?!
9: A long time ago, it was not only a passage to the material world, but also a penal colony.
10: That's why the Kouryuu current and Koutotsu exist.

05)
1: Those caught up by the current become unable to leave this world, and lose their lives.
2: If they're caught by Koutotsu, they'll be thrown out to a greatly different point in time from when they entered the Precipice World.
3: That's why you lost a couple of days
4: after were first chased by Koutotsu while entering Soul Society.
5(2b): Although, your penalty only ended up being a few days because of Urahara's technology.
6: Normally, you would have been blown away by hundreds of years, and your body wouldn't have been able to keep up with the violent flow of time.
7: However
8(2b): Koutotsu isn't here anymore, which means this is the perfect chance to buy some time.

06)
1(2b): the Precipice World is 2000 times denser time-wise compared to the outside world, meaning,
2: 2000 hours of training in here will only equal to 1 hour out there.
3: Soul Society has no way of sealing Koutotsu,
4: but there is a way to stop the Kouryuu current.

07)
1: They call this Kaikyou Kotei (*Realm Boundary Fixation)
2: snap
3: Normally, lower-echelon Shinigami come in by the dozens and use a special method to pour in their reiatsu and fixate the current,
4: but I can do it by myself.
5: I'm going to suppress the Kouryuu current until my reiatsu runs out.
6(2b): I'd estimate we have just about 2000 hours until that happens. To put it more roughly, a little less than 3 months.

08)
1: During that time, you're
2: going to call it out.
3: Call it out...?
4(2b): That's right. Call it out -- from your sword, Zangetsu.
5(2b): The true form of the "Final Getsuga Tenshou!"

09)
1: ...they call that form
2: "Jinzen." (Blade Zen)
3(2b): It's something that has been worked out over thousands of years since the formulation of Soul Society
4: all for the sake of speaking with one's sword.
5(2b): Ichigo, all of the techniques you've mastered up until now
6: should all be ones you received by forcing them out.
7: ...understand?

10)
1: In order for you to advance from this point,
2(2b): You need to journey through these thousands of years that you still haven't once touched...!
3: Now go
4: --Ichigo--...!
white: To an abyss of power...!!

12)
1: What the...
2: What the hell...is going on here...
3: Everyone is sleeping on the side of the road...
4: All the cars and traffic signals are stopped too...

13)
1(2b): This makes no sense...it's like the world is about to end or something...
2: This isn't a dream...it ain't no movie, either...
3: Pleaaaase, someooooone!
4: Isn't anyone awake yeeeeet!!
5: OOObeeeehhhhhhhhhhhhh
6: That hurts!!
7: What are...
8: ...ah...

14)
1: Arisawa!!!
2: What a reliiiiief!!
3: Even though it's you, I'm still just glad to have met another person!!
4(2b): More importantly, have you taken a look around? It's like everyone fell asleep all at once or something!
5: And I was thinking, wow, there's like no one else awake except for me, how lonely!!
6(2b): But man, am I glad to see you alive!! Not like I was worried about you or anything! Rather, I was hoping you'd be worried more about me!
7: By the way, have you seen Mizuiro? I haven't yet!!
8: Ah! Wait a minute, why did you stop me with a lariAT?!

15)
1: ...shut up.
2: ...yes ma'am.
3: ...I apologize.
4: ...I just got so excited all of a sudden...
5(2b): How long are you going to keep squawking out excuses for?! Enough already!
6: Come over here!
7(2b): Woahh?! Honshou! Ogawa!!
8(3b): I found them. Let's take them to the school for now. You carry Chizuru.

16)
1: And don't touch her ass!
2: Alright!
3(2b): ...hey...Arisawa.
4: What?
5(2b): Honshou's chest is surprisingly BIPUH
6: ...anyway,
7: Let me just tell you what I've gathered so far.
8(2b): I walked around the edge of town a bit ago, and at the edge it was like the town had been cut right off, and there was nothing but mountains surrounding it.
9: In other words, I know it's hard to imagine, but it's like the entire town was transported somewhere.
10: ...you mean
11: ...this has something to do with Ichigo...

17)
1: Well of course!
2: Who else could there be?!
3: ...but
4: If this is Ichigo's fault,
5: then he's gonna do something about it.
6: ...that's just
7: the kinda guy he is.

18)
1: ...I see.
2: Truly malapropos scenery for Soul Society.
3: Now then. --Have you seen all you wanted?

19)
side 1: The time has come!!
1: --are you "in?"
2(2b): Be careful...this time around, Zangetsu...
3: is gonna go wild...!!
side 2: The limit is 2000 hours!!
