Bleach 230

Djudge did a great job on his translation (complete with nifty notes and all), but I figured I'd post a translation anyway (if Naruto gets 5+ translations per week, why not Bleach as well). I'm a pretty literal translator, so hopefully someone will enjoy this!!

Sidetext: It’s during turbulent times when a wave of cold pierces the most. The good days should be savored.

*Seireitei
Training area behind the 13th division

Hisagi: Just what are you doing in a place like this anyway?

Ukitake: Oh it’s you, Hisagi. I was just watching while taking a little break.

Hisagi: Isn’t that Kuchiki and the intruder girl. Hmm…. (trying to think of the girls name)

Ukitake: Orihime-chan. They’ve been training for the decisive battle in winter since last month.

Hisagi: For training they sure do seem to be having fun.

Ukitake: So it really does look that way? …She’s never been one to make friends easily. She just doesn’t open herself up easily, but…

Ukitake: When she came in here with a scowl on her face saying, “please open up the training area behind the division headquarters” I wondered what was going on.

Ukitake: It’s good that she finally made a friend.

Hisagi: Even if it’s…a human?

Ukitake: Don’t say that.

Hisagi: …Sorry.

Ukitake: Nah, it’s alright.

Ukitake: It’s okay to walk on different paths. Also, that girl is hardly normal. If they all came to SS they might become Shinigami in no time at all.

Ukitake: Come to think of it, what’re you doing all the way over here? Did you need something?

Hisagi: Oh yeah, I need this months’ Seireitei communications. And also the order catalog/program as well.

Ukitake: Why do you have to do all that?

Hisagi: Well, the 10th division is in the real world right now, right?

Hisagi: The 11th division (Captain) is sleeping and I have no idea where their Vice-captain went.

Hisagi: The two from the 12th division won’t even come out of the lab.

Hisagi: I had no idea the Captains had to work this hard. Captain Tousen wasn’t really one to hand work down to his subordinates.

Hisagi: …Well, I guess I’ll be going.

Ukitake: You should stay a bit longer.

Hisagi: Didn’t I say I was busy?

Hisagi: Having to watch two girls train isn’t half-bad, but please invite me to watch some other time when I’m not so busy.

Ukitake: …Four months…that’s not a long time to ease a person’s spirit…and even less time to gain strength…if only this little peace could last…even just a bit longer…

*Scene change

*Ikkaku, Hitsugaya, Matsumoto and Yumichika

*The sky tears open as though laughing mockingly

Sidetext: What appears are the bringers of white darkness

BLEACH 230 The white invasion

Yumichika: Arrancar…!? How…isn’t this way too soon….!?

Hitsugaya: They are a bit early, but it doesn’t seem like we’re going to have the time to figure out the reason why.

Yammi: Oh? We seemed to arrive at just the right spot. There are a few people scampering around here who seem to have pretty high reiatsu. This ought to be a good place to start.

Rupi: What are you talking about? Those are Shinigami. Aren’t those the “reinforcements from SS” that #6 mentioned? Oh I’m sorry, it’s “FORMER” #6 now, right?

Grimmjow: The one I’m looking to kill isn’t with them.

Yammi: Hey!! Grimmjow, wait!!! That asshole!!

Rupi: Ah just let it go. He’s just an Espada flunky. It’s not like he can do anything anyway.

Yammi: Dammit…The guy I wanna kill isn’t with them either.
Rupi: Did you wanna kill the one who cut off your arm? Or maybe the one who beat you up? Ooor was it the one who countered your Cero attack?

Yammi: All of them.

Yammi: Hey! New guy, we’re going!! How long are you gonna just stand there!!

Wanderweiss: Oooh ooooh….(or chiiirp chiiirp)

Yammi: Dammit…another weirdo joined up…

*Hitsugaya attacks Yammi.

Hitsugaya: I’m the 10th division captain, Hitsugaya Toushirou!

Yammi: What a coincidence. I’m number 10 too. I’m Arrancar #10, Yammi.

Hitsugaya: No. 10…! So you’re an “Espada?”


Yammi: Well don’t you know a lot? You must’ve fought someone who couldn’t keep their big mouth shut.

Yumichika: Are you…an Espada too?

Rupi: Yup. The name’s Rupi, and I’m ranked #6.

Wanderweiss: Oooooooh….

Matsumoto: This guy…I wonder if it’s really alright to kill him…

*Scene change

Ichigo: Let go of me!!!

Kensei: I’m telling you that you’re still not ready!!

Love: SS sent down your friends just for this kind of situation, right!! Let them handle it!!

Ichigo: Aren’t I/we training for this sort of situation!! If I don’t go now then what’s the point!

*Hirako grabs Kensei’s shoulder

Hirako: …Let him go.

Kensei: Hey! Just what are you thinking, Shinji!!

Grimmjow: Yo…I’ve been looking for you, Shinigami.

Ichigo: …That’s my line. It’s time to show you, just how much I’ve changed in the last month.

Sidetext: It begins suddenly…! (or Already...?!)
