Pg 2
Frame 1
Don: …Looks like they left…

Frame 2
Pesshe: …What should we do?
Don: Mmm… Even if we head back right now, it doesn’t change the fact that we’re in danger…

Frame 4
Don: Hey!!!
Pesshe: Where are you going, Neru!!

Frame 5
Neru: I’m… I’m going after Ichigo!!


Pg 3

Bleach 249. Back to the Innocent


Pg 5
Frame 3
Ori: For Aizen-sama and his wishes––
Ulq: …She only showed her discomposure for a second… She didn’t even raise an eyebrow at my question––…

Frame 4
Ulq: …A strong woman…
?: Hey.


Pg 6
Frame 1
?: How was it? How was Pet-sama doing?

Frame 2
Ulq: …Noitre

Frame 3
Noitre: I know. You were told to look after that woman by Aizen-sama, right? That’s a good job.


Pg 7
Frame 1
Noitre: So, how far did you discipline her?

Frame 3
Ulq: …Cad.

Frame 5
Noitre: Don’t be all pissy. I’m just asking if you’re doing it well. So?

Frame 6
Ulq: …This bothers you? Such a small composure.

Frame 7
Noitre: …Huh?


Pg 8
Frame 1
Ulq: Don’t worry. That woman’s been under Aizen-sama’s spell since even before she entered Hueco Mundo.

Frame 2
Noitre: …That Kyouka Suigetsu, huh.
Translator Note: Kyouka Suigetsu is Aizen’s zanpakutou and is literally translated to “Mirror Flower Water Moon.”

Frame 3
Ulq: Not even. There’s no need to use that.

Frame 4
Ulq: At the point we invited her here, I used a many layered psychological cage.

Frame 5
Ulq: I commanded her surrender using her friends lives as a shield. And then gave her 12 hours reprieve after that. And allowed her to say good-bye to one person on the condition that no one notice her.

Frame 6
Noitre: …That’s the “cage”?


Pg 9
Frame 2
Ulq: By giving her a reprieve in under such imminent circumstances, and then allowing her to say good-bye to a friend, she’ll mistakenly think that we’re showing her compassion and her mind will ease toward us a little.

Frame 3
Ulq: But in reality, during the 12 hour reprieve her thoughts weren’t really in state of being controlled by using her friends as shields.

Frame 4
Ulq: Furthermore, by allowing her to choose the person to say good-bye to, while her surrender was under duress, it creates the illusion that she chose out of her own will.

Frame 5
Ulq: And then after that, I made her come to the meeting place on her own feet. By bringing her to Hueco Mundo from there, that illusion was even more strongly etched in her mind. It will gently melt even the will to escape.

Frame 6
Ulq: Furthermore,


Pg 10
Frame 1
Ulq: “Making her say good-bye to only one person without letting anyone know.” Stated another way is, “Being able to leave an impression that she said good-bye to one person only.”

Frame 2
Noitre: …What is that? That’s a mistake, if she does that.

Frame 3
Ulq: The opposite. “An impression of saying good-bye” is unmovable proof that until the moment of surrender she was able to move under her free will.

Frame 4
Ulq: That means, the stronger the impression that’s left, the more it appears to her friends that “She betrayed them of her own free will.”


Pg 11
Frame 1
Ulq: Though it appears the last part wasn’t a complete success. However, we can probably view it as Soul Society had withdrawn from this.

Frame 2
Noitre: …He’s thought this through well. Should I say it’s to be expected of Aizen-sama?

Frame 3
Ulq: He’s thought it through well?

Frame 4
Ulq: This is just a game to Aizen-sama. It if works, good. If it doesn’t work, still good.

Frame 5
Ulq: Either way, that woman doesn’t have the strength to escape from here.


Pg 12
Frame 1
Ulq: Nor the thought or strength to go against us.

Frame 4
Aizen: So you came.


Pg 13
Frame 1
Aizen: Orihime.

Frame 3
Aizen: Sorry to have called you here so suddenly. There’s something I wanted to show you.

Frame 4
Aizen: Rory, Menory, please leave.
Rory: Huh…
Menory: Bu…But… To leave Aizen-sama and someone like her alone…

Frame 7
Both: Pa…Pardon us!!


Pg 14
Frame 1
Rory: …Who… is she…!

Frame 2
Aizen: …Now

Frame 3
Aizen: Could you look at this.

Frame 4
Aizen: Orihime.


Pg 15
Frame 3
Ori: …What…is this feeling… …Could this be––…

Frame 4
Aizen: …It seems you know. This is the Hogyoku.

Frame 5
Aizen: It’s weakened quite a bit due to the repeated, instantaneous awakenings. But it’s clearly going forward to a complete awakening.


Pg 16
Frame 1
Aizen: Turning hollows to arrancars. The creation of the throne. Neither is possible without this Hougyoku.

Frame 2
Aizen: …The fact that I’m showing you this. Think of it as proof of my trust in you.

Frame 3
Aizen: Your powers are “rejecting a phenomenon.” Denying the very fact that the occurrence happened, and extinguishing the very phenomenon. It’s an incredible power.

Frame 4
Aizen: I have need of your powers, Orihime.

Frame 7
Aizen: You’ll use that power for me, won’t you?


Pg 17
Frame 2
Ori: I can’t believe that that man showed me the Hougyoku because he trusts me… But at least I know where I the Hougyoku is kept.

Frame 3
Ori: And about my powers…

Frame 4
Aizen: Denying the very fact that the occurrence happened, and extinguishing the very phenomenon––

Frame 5
Ori: …Thank you, Kurosaki-kun, for coming to save me.

Frame 6
Ori: But I found something I need to do here.

Frame 7
Ori: And it’s probably something only I can do––…


Pg 18
Frame 1
Ori: Using my powers–– I’ll return the Hougyoku to a state before it existed––…!

Pg 19
Side text: Wishes quietly told, true thoughts…A hidden resolve! To each, the “battle” revolving about the Hougyoku has started. And in front of Ichigo, too!?
