(0:15) Now then, how's your tummy feeling after that, Ashisugi Jizo? (0:20) You swallowed it whole, so it might take some time to digest. (0:24) I must say, the last second decision of mine to have you born without teeth was the right (0:29) move. (0:30) If you had chewed it, it would have multiplied in your belly.
(0:34) I seriously doubt even you could have survived that. (0:57) Sound like you? (0:59) Me mimic you. (1:01) You forgot.(1:02) Pernidious Quincy. (1:05) Me kill enemy with bow and arrow. (1:09) No, I didn't forget.I'm just a little surprised and disappointed to find that you had stooped so low. (1:19) I wasn't expecting the Soul King's left arm to shamelessly claim itself to be a Quincy! (1:24) Shamelessly? Why you say that? (1:29) In what way could claiming to be a Quincy ever be called shameless? (1:34) Huh? (1:35) I have always been a Quincy. Me starting to get sick and tired of you bad-mouthing Quincy's all the time.(1:45) What was that? Why did his speech pattern completely change just then? (1:50) Its vocabulary has definitely become more sophisticated since we started this battle. (1:57) Could it be that it's regaining its memory as the Soul King? Or could it be that it's somehow improving? (2:09) These arrows have nerves attached to them. (2:18) The nerves running through the ground can change the arrow's trajectory? (2:22) Really? Damn it! This one's going to get me! (2:38) Fool! Did I tell you to step in? If I hadn't kept you from touching the ground down there, you'd be a lifeless meatball! (2:50) I judged the battle had reached a point where you needed a shield.(2:54) I do not recall ever teaching you to come to my aid whenever you judged it necessary. (2:59) No, sir. You never did teach me that.(3:02) Then are you saying you learned that on your own, without my teaching you? (3:08) I don't know. (3:12) Nemu. Or should I say, Nemuri No.7. (3:16) In the time since Ichigo Kurosaki and his group showed up, you have gained a great deal of experience in many battles, and I have taught you a great many things. (3:28) Can you even begin to comprehend how much work it would entail, and the toll it would take on me, to have to develop the next you into what you are now? (3:37) I cannot, sir. (3:38) Exactly! Do not interfere in things you do not understand! (3:43) Who said you have the right to choose the time and place of your death? (3:46) If you are to die, you will die only when I order you to, not a minute before! Do I make myself clear? (3:52) Yes.Perfectly clear, Master Mayuri. (3:59) When I first opened my eyes, you greeted me with a name. Do you remember, sir? (4:05) I loved that name, very much.(4:12) Ah, we're awake, are we? Good morning, Number 7. (5:55) TERRORized (6:01) Forgive me, I meant to give you this earlier, Master Mayuri. (6:04) The Hojikuzai. Bringing it to you was the initial reason for my stepping in.(6:15) Huh. Did you realize right away I had neglected to bring the Hojikuzai with me? (6:21) Yes, sir. You see, I couldn't help noticing, when the attack began, you rushed out to meet the enemy without going through the medicine cabinet as usual.(6:30) Hm. Very observant of you. Also rather creepy.(6:35) Yes. I'm sorry, Master Mayuri. (6:50) Can you hear me all right, Nemu? (6:53) Yes.(6:54) Then listen carefully. As I am flying around, I am spraying a highly concentrated anesthetic over this entire area. (7:01) I do not know what effect it will have on this thing as far as its body goes, but during our last exchange, I measured the nerve density of its arrows.(7:10) At this concentration, I am quite certain I can neutralize the arrows. (7:14) However, a concentration this high will likely have a deleterious effect on me as well, which is unfortunate, but unavoidable in the circumstances. (7:23) Nemu, your job is to inject that nerve-coagulating agent directly into an arrow that has been neutralized.(7:31) The nerve-coagulating agent does not weaken nerve impulses by obstructing neural transmissions the way an anesthetic does. (7:40) Instead, as its name implies, it coagulates neural transmissions, slowing them down until at last all the organs connected to the nervous system are frozen in the state they were in at the moment the agent reached them. (7:53) In other words, once this agent has taken effect, eyes that are open cannot be shut, lips that are parted cannot be closed, and a contracted heart can no longer expand! (8:03) You might want to keep it down, sir.(8:05) Quiet! I am not sure what its body is composed of, but I have at least confirmed that it has blood running through it. (8:13) I will use this agent to coagulate its blood and kill it! (8:18) The nerves in the ground have been neutralized by my anesthetic, so it's safe to step on. (8:24) Now, Nemu, you must inject the agent before it can detach its nerves from the arrow! (8:39) It's over, Pernida! (8:43) You think you can kill me with this, Kurotsuchi? (8:46) It has changed its voice again! Now it is talking like Kenpachi! (8:50) Ah, of course! It evolves by absorbing the data of anyone its nerve endings come in contact with! (8:58) That's not good.If its nervous system has evolved to Kenpachi's level, Nemu doesn't stand a chance! Not with her reaction speed! (9:07) Nemu, get back! (9:13) That's my Matai Fukui Shotai's ability! (9:18) Master Mayuri... Master Mayuri... (9:22) Did you say Captain Kurotsuchi has stopped calling you by your name? (9:26) Yes. Lately he's been calling me Nemu for some reason. (9:30) Well, what's wrong with that? That is your name, isn't it? (9:34) It is not.My name has always been Nemuri No. 7. (9:39) Ah! Something's happening! (9:41) What? What did you do now, Nico? (9:43) I didn't do anything! These tubes just popped up! (9:46) Come on, come on! Stop fooling around, will you? (9:49) We're supposed to be getting this lab back up and running before Captain Kurotsuchi returns from the Royal Palace! (9:54) Huh? Those are relics of the early artificial soul project, Nemuri. I haven't seen them in a while.(10:00) Nemuri as in Nemu? (10:02) That's right. That's No. 1 through No.3 right there. (10:06) They're relics? (10:07) It's just another way of saying they're corpses. (10:09) Really? They just look like little strands of lint.(10:13) It was one failure after another in the beginning. It wasn't until No. 4 that we were finally able to create a brain.(10:20) Was it the technology that produced No. 4 that also fixed my head? (10:25) That's right. No.5 reached the fetus stage. (10:29) And using that technology, the Captain modified his Zanpakuto and was promoted in rank. (10:34) Oh, so that explains it.(10:36) No. 6 grew up to be just about two years old, but then its cell division suddenly stopped and it died. (10:43) We thought that was the lifespan of an artificial soul's cells.(10:47) That's why the Captain was beside himself with joy when No. 7 outlived her expected lifespan. (10:52) It was a great day for him.(11:00) I still don't understand. Why has Master Mayuri stopped calling me Nemuri No. 7? (11:06) Why ask me? Why don't you ask the Captain himself? (11:10) I thought of that, but I don't think Master Mayuri would give me an answer even if I asked.(11:15) Well, if you don't expect him to give you an answer, I don't know why you'd expect me to give you one. (11:23) I don't know. Maybe it's because he's embarrassed or something.(11:28) Embarrassed? I can't imagine Master Mayuri having such an emotion. (11:32) You know, sometimes you say the darndest things. This is how the Captain put it.(11:53) I think that was the Captain's way of being ironic. (11:56) Now, I'm speaking purely speculatively here, but not all of us share this dream of his. (12:04) It's his personal dream.(12:06) Do you understand? (12:09) While you're sleeping, breathing, eating, growing and learning something new every day, (12:15) all that time, Captain Kurotsuchi is living his dream. (12:20) He might have thought you noticed how he felt and it probably embarrassed him. (12:24) No, I hadn't noticed anything like that.(12:27) Watching you grow smarter every day, even I could see you were going to figure it out sooner or later. (12:33) If I were to remain ignorant of how he felt, do you think Master Mayuri would continue to call me Number 7? (12:40) It's a moot point. (12:45) Because after all, you're the Captain's greatest creation.(12:49) There's no way you won't continue to evolve. (12:54) Nemu! Where did you get such power? (12:56) It's nothing but the power you gave me, Master Mayuri. (12:59) And this is the sole Reaper body you gave me.(13:03) I enhanced its power to just below 0.8% before critical breakdown. (13:08) You did what? (13:09) It will not be a problem. I estimate I can last another 400 seconds.(13:14) That's not what I'm upset about! It's that I gave you no such order! (13:18) Orders are not. It's my mission. (13:22) My mission is to protect you, Master Mayuri.(13:25) Nonsense! Your mission is to grow and to learn! (13:28) Yes, and I believe I can show you how much I've grown by protecting you, Master Mayuri. (13:37) Where on earth did she learn to talk back like that? (13:40) I never thought I'd see the day when I would leave a battle in Nemu's hands. (13:47) How humiliating.(13:48) Nemu... (13:52) Soul scission rate at 6%. (13:54) I will shave off 6% of my soul and fire it directly at the target. (14:41) Master Mayuri... (14:54) Nemu... (14:58) No... (15:03) Nemu... (15:04) Nemu... (15:05) What's this? Is it despair you're feeling? (15:10) This couldn't really be despair, could it? (15:15) Huh? What was that again? (15:17) I'm sorry, I didn't quite catch that.You'll have to speak a little louder. (15:21) That's not a look of despair on your face, is it? (15:24) No, no, it couldn't be. (15:26) Not you, who once lectured me on what it meant to be a scientist.(15:30) No way. (15:32) So your modified life form died. (15:35) Well, why is that something to be so sad about? (15:37) I would think that you'd be feeling just the opposite.(15:39) I mean, wasn't it you who once told me that perfection has no meaning for scientists like us? (15:45) That perfection is hopelessness? (15:47) That, in fact, you despise perfection? (15:49) Then you should be celebrating its death! (15:52) The reason it died is because it wasn't perfect! (15:54) That means there is still room for improvement! (15:57) A new goal to strive for! (15:59) That's what I would have thought you'd be saying right now. (16:03) Oh, I see. (16:05) You'd actually begun to convince yourself that you'd achieved the impossible.(16:09) That that defective meat puppet of yours was perfect. (16:15) How far you've fallen, Mayuri Kurotsuchi. (16:18) You know by right, you really ought to thank that monster of a left arm up there.(16:23) By killing your meat puppet, it put an end to your arrogance and carelessness. (16:29) And now, despite your every effort, you find yourself all alone and helpless. (16:34) Your perfect creation blown into a thousand bits of lifeless flesh.(16:38) I do declare, if I were in your shoes, I don't think I would ever be able to stop laughing! (16:43) You're absolutely right! (16:45) I can't believe it took a pseudo-scientist like you to remind me of my carelessness. (16:51) It is rather laughable. (16:57) Oh, I see.(16:58) It's not enough that you blasted Neimu to bits. (17:00) Now you want to feed on her scraps. (17:05) Well, go ahead.(17:09) Stuff your gullet until every last piece of her flesh is gone. (17:15) However... (17:16) Not that! (17:18) Her cerebrum is mine! (17:21) You feel a numbness when you touch me, don't you? (17:24) Don't waste your time worrying about me. (17:26) Get on with eating Neimu.(17:28) But eat quickly, or you'll die before you finish your meal. (17:34) What is this? (17:36) Embedded in Neimu's pituitary gland, which you just ate, (17:39) is an organ that compels the process of cell development to accelerate (17:43) to a point exceeding the artificial soul's cell division threshold. (17:48) It's a continuously functioning organ (17:50) that causes the cells to repeatedly grow and divide beyond the limits of the host body.(17:56) Normally, this organ is regulated by a connection to the parietal lobe via the basal ganglia. (18:04) Let me simplify it in a way even you will understand. (18:07) If that organ is ingested without the brain that regulates it, (18:11) it will essentially cause its own cell destruction.(18:34) I see. (18:37) A functioning nerve still remained. (18:40) Oh, dear, dear.Now I'm really no different than Kenpachi. (18:45) Huh? (18:48) Oh, no. Don't tell me Squad 11 hasn't fled to safety yet.(18:53) I knew you were stupid beyond imagining, but this takes the cake. (18:57) Well, I commend you for not interfering in the battle. (19:00) You get points for that, at least.(19:03) Now listen carefully. (19:05) Fifty meters up ahead, beneath the ruins on the right, (19:08) you will find body preservation pods. (19:11) Take those two with you and go on ahead.(19:14) Don't worry about them. (19:16) It's taken some time, but they should no longer be zombies. (19:21) Admittedly, their lifespans have been greatly reduced, (19:24) but I doubt they'd be so ungrateful as to give me grief over something so petty.(19:35) Kurotsuchi, I'm grateful. (19:37) Heh. (19:39) This pod should suffice.(19:42) And you can put Kenpachi into the other one if you like. (19:47) See you later, Captain Saraki. (19:49) Take care, sir.(19:58) Captain Kurotsuchi, we thank you for saving the life of our captain. (20:04) Heh. (20:06) I am getting thanked a great deal today.(20:09) It's most unpleasant. (20:12) But that doesn't matter next to this. (20:15) Evolution.(20:16) I have finally created a soul from nothing that is capable of evolving on its own. (20:22) With this achievement, I have far surpassed even you, Kisuke Urahara. (20:28) I'm trying to picture the look of envy on your face, (20:31) but I can't quite envision it.(20:34) That's what will make it all the more gratifying to see it in person. (20:37) The next time we meet, I will show you how much distance I have put between you and me. (20:49) We will show him together.(22:21) ramen (22:40) Look his majesty even brought the arena up (22:44) here (22:52) Seems he's arranged a welcome for us too (22:55) A warm welcome (22:56) Yeah looks that way (22:58) Hey girls gather around (23:04) I'm actually impressed, you had them stow away in the city as you came up here. (23:09) You got it. (23:10) And now that we five are back together, let's go! (23:38) What is Uryuu Ishida doing in the Einzast? (23:42) I want to know what he's up to.(23:44) Find out. (23:51) What's wrong with Uryuu Ishida? (23:53) It almost sounds like you don't trust him. (23:55) As be.(23:57) What do you think you're doing? (23:58) What am I doing? Are you for real? (24:01) You really should be asking how am I still alive. (24:13) Shared memories unspoken. (24:17) The mirror transmits from the shadows.
