D: O...
D: Oi...
D: Just now...did she just jump through the window?!
D: What the hell IS she?!
D: More importantly, what's with the redhead and the bald guy?!
S: Oii, Kurosaki...
S: Are all these freaks your friends or somethin'!?
I: Ru...
I: Rukia...

02)
Ebuu!!!
Wha...

03)
I: Just what do you think you're...
I: Huh?
I: Abuuu!!
I: Buehhh!!
I: You piece of...
R: What are you looking so stupid for?!
I: Huh....?

04)
R: Come with me for a sec!
I: Hey, wait a friggin' second, Rukia!!
I: Where the hell are we going?!?
M: Everything's turning out just as I expected.
R: I guess so, huh...
R: Seriously, though, what a troublesome guy...
I: Don't you think it's justified, though, after seeing how he stared at her with such an idiotic face?
R: Is that so...?
R: It may have been weird, but it was also attractive...<3
Y: ATTRACTIVE?!
Y: Just what could ever be attractive about that uncultured swine?!
R: You're not going to change my mind no matter what you say, Yumichika...
Y: Then who's side are you on, anyway? Ikkaku's?!
I: Are you an idiot? Seriously.

05)
H: Hey, guys?! can't you just relax for a second here?
D: Oi...
D: Look at that...
D: Wha..what happened to Kurosaki?
D: That woman beat the crap out of him and then he just keeled over...
D: I think I can see the whites of his eyes!
S: Oooooi...
S: Kurosakiiii....are you alriiight?
D: Hey, this is kind of dangerous...aren't those the sort of things that happens to someone who's dead?!
D: Hey, you're right! Those people looked dangerous in the first place!!
D: Just look at that funky red hair!
I: Don't worry about it, Renji...
I: They're only humans, anyway.
D: They even have tattoos, too..!
D: Look! One of 'em's carrying a wooden sword!
D: That guy has golden hair...
D: Wait, that guy has SILVER hair!
D: Is that one guy bald?
D: I dunno, but the other one's using way too much hairspray.
D: That chick has HUGE breasts...
D: Yeah, hey, I'm right! That guy IS bald!!
I: HEY...
I: Whoever called me bald, not once, but twice...GET OVER HERE RIGHT NOW!
R: I really don't think you should worry about it too much, man.
R: Come on, they have no idea what they're talking about.
I: THE HELL THEY DO! I'll cut them all in half!
R: With a wooden sword?
Y: I shall assist you, Ikkaku!
H: I really wish this was someone else's job right now...

196. Punch Down the Stone Circle

07)
I: Come on, Rukia!
I: For the love of God, just tell me where we're heading!
R: Silence! It doesn't matter, so just be quiet and keep running!
R: I can see it now!
R: It's over there!!

08)
I: A Hollow?!
R: Obviously!
R: Now go get 'im!
I: WHAAAAT?!

09)
I: GUOOO!
I: Ou...
I: ...ch...
I: Ahhh!!
I: That was a close one...

10)
R: Hurry up and defeat it!
R: Stop running around and face it with the intent to kill!
I: Damn, you're annoying!
I: I'd do that even with you telling...me...

11)
R: What's wrong!?
I: Shut up!!
R: That's it, isn't it?
R: You fool...
R: Ever since you were beaten by the Arankaru...
R: you've lost your will to be a Shinigami!!
R: What are you so frightened of!?
R: Sado was decimated!
R: Inoue was nearly killed!!
R: SO WHAT?!

12)
R: Are you so weak as to let minor things like that affect your heart?!
R: Does defeat frighten you?
R: Or what about failing to save your companions?
R: Or...maybe...
R: ...you're afraid that you'll become a Hollow too?

13)
R: If it was defeat, then you just need to train harder.
R: If it was about your companions,
R: Then you just need to reseal those promises after becoming a more virtuous man.
R: If it's about becoming a Hollow...
R: Then just become strong enough until you can shatter it in an instant.
R: Even if you can't rely on anyone else...
R: Just pull yourself together and roar!

14)
R: The "you" that still lives on in my heart, Ichigo...
R: Would do exactly that!!

15)
I: Tch...
I: Just like I said...
I: You're too noisy!

16)
Inoue!!
I: Kuchiki-san?!
R: Yep!
R: It's been a while, hasn't it?

17)
O: So you really came back!!
O: How long have you been here?
R: I'll tell you about it later...
R: But first!
SFX: Haa x3
O: Kurosaki-kun...
I: ...Inoue...
I: ...I...
R: ...am sorry for being so stupidly weak!!!
I: Oguu?!
I: ...I...
I: I will become stronger...
I: ...much stronger...

18)
O: And then, next time...
O: I will protect you...without fail!!
O: I'm so glad...
O: Kurosaki-kun has returned...

19)
O: Thank you...
O: Kurosaki-kun...
O: Thank you...
O: Kuchiki-san...
O: ...and welcome home!!
