Bleach 249

02)
?: Well, that's it...they left us...
?: What are we gonna do now?
N: Nnnnn~
?: Even if we tried to head back now, we'd still be in danger....
?: Ahh!!
?: Where are you going, Nell!
N: Ichigo...
N: I'm gonna go follow Ichigo!!

03)
?: Follow him...?! You...
N: Nell is...
N: Nell had a lot of fun tho far!!
N: It wath really really fun, actually!!
N: I thtill...
N: I thtill want to keep going with Ichigo!!
?: NELL!!!
?: Alright! Then I guess...
?: we've gotta go too!!

04)
?: ...Which one was it...?
?: The one Nell entered...

05)
O: For Aizen-sama
O: and his ambition--
U: Her discomfort lasted but a second...
U: And she didn't even raise an eyebrow at my question.
U: Such a strong woman...
?: Yo.

06)
?: How's it going?
?: With Pet-sama, I mean.
U: ...Noitora.
N: I know all about it.
N: Aizen-sama told you to take care of that woman, right?
N: What a tasty job.

07)
N: So.
N: How far have you "disciplined" her?
U: ...
N: Don't be a little bitch.
N: All I wanna know is how well you're doing, is that so bad?
N: Huh?
U: You're that interested?
U: You really must have no composure.
N: ...Ehh?

08)
U: Do not worry.
U: That woman...
U: Even before she entered Hueco Mundo, she has been under Aizen-sama's control.
N: Another victim of the Kyouka Suigetsu, huh?
U: Ridiculous.
U: That would simply be overdoing it.
U: When I first approached her about coming here,
U: I immediately had her trapped within a psychological cage.
U: She surrendered to us under the condition that the lives of her nakama would remain intact.
U: Afterwards, she was presented with a 12-hour time limit.
U: And additionally, as long as this was unknown to anyone else, she was allowed to say goodbye to one of her nakama.
N: ...You call that a "cage?"

09)
U: Giving her a break under such pressure,
U: and then allowing her to give her farewell to a nakama.
U: To her, both will be misrecognized as compassionate actions...
U: and she'll loosen up a little.
U: Do note, however, that in those 12 hours, by using her friends as shields, we did not have to control her thoughts.
U: Furthermore, allowing her to choose which person to say goodbye to...
U: created the illusion that she was still acting upon her own will the entire time.
U: And then, I told her to come to the designated place by her own legs.
U: By taking her to Hueco Mundo from there,
U: The illusion was only enforced in her mind,
U: and will soon soften even her will to escape.
U: FURTHERMORE,

10)
U: The phrase "Saying goodbye to one of her nakama, as long as no one else knows"
U: could also be said in other words as "Being able to have an impression that she said goodbye to one person only."
N: ...what the hell is that?
N: In those words, doesn't it mean you messed up?
U: The opposite.
U: "The impression of giving a farewell" is irrefutable proof that until the moment of surrender, she was acting entirely under her own will.
U: Which means:
U: The stronger that impression remains,
U: The more it will seem to her nakama that she betrayed them out of her own free will.

11)
U: Unfortunately, though, it seems as if that last stage wasn't a perfect success.
U: Rather, it seems as if Soul Society has removed themselves from the incident entirely.
N: ...I gotta admit, it's a well-thought out plan.
N: Or should I say, "As expected of Aizen-sama?"
U: Well-thought out?
U: To Aizen-sama,
U: all this is merely child's play.
U: If it works out, fine.
U: If it doesn't, still fine.
U: The point remains...
U: As of now, that woman...
U: has no power to escape from here.

12)
U: Neither the will to defy us,
U: nor the strength.
A: So you came.

13)
A: Orihime.
A: My apologies for calling you out so suddenly.
A: But there was something I wanted to show you.
A: Nori,
A: Menori.
A: Leave us.
M: Ye...
N: B...but...
N: Leaving Aizen-sama alone with this type of being is...
N: My...
N: My deepest apologies!!

14)
N: ..Who the hell...is she..?!
A: ..Now.
A: Could you look at this for a moment?
A: Orihime.
SFX: Kiin

15)
O: What is...this feeling...
O: ...Could this be...the...
A: ...It seems like you understand.
A: This is the Hougyoku.
A: Due to the repeated awakenings, it has become a bit weakedn.
A: However, it is still continuing towards a perfect awakening.

16)
A: The transformation from Hollow to Arrancar.
A: The birth of the throne.
A: No matter which, they cannot happen without this Hougyoku.
A: Showing this to you...
A: Please think of it as a symbol of my trust.
A: Your power is "Event Rejection."
A: Denying the fact that anything happened,
A: and completely erasing all evidence of the event.
A: An unbelievable ability.
A: For me,
A: your power is necessary,
A: Orihime.
A: That power of yours...
A: I'd much appreciate it if you used it for my sake.

17)
O: I can't believe that he showed the Hougyoku to me out of trust...
O: But at least now, I know where he's hid it.
O: And then...
O: About my power...
O: Denying the fact that anything happened,
O: and completely erasing all evidence of the event--
O: ...Thank you, Kurosaki-kun.
O: You came to save me...
O: But I...
O: I think I've found something I need to do here...
O: And it's something...
O: That definitely no one but I can do...

18)
O: With my ability...
O: I'll reject the existence of the Hougyoku--!
