Thread: c220 - The King and His Horse

Well, the script has surfaced in japanese:

煽り：内界で続く過酷な相克！一方、現実世界でもまた熾烈な闘争が･･････

ﾘｻ:はっ、はっ、はっ。休息時間は？

平子:8人全員ﾛｰﾃｰｼｮﾝやから、10分×8で80分や!

ひより:×8ちゃうわﾊｹﾞ、本人抜いたら7人やろ。

平子：10分×7人で70分やっ!

ﾊｯﾁ：ﾜﾀｼ結界張る役なんﾃﾞｽけど･･･ﾜﾀｼ計算に入ってるんﾃﾞｽね･･･

ﾘｻ（強かった･･･!思っとったよりだいぶ･･･気をつけて戦やあよ拳西･･･やないと･･ ･）

虚化一護と戦う六車。斬魄刀で左肩を切りつけるが瞬時に傷が癒える。

六車（超速再生か!!）

六車、拳を突き出し鬼道のようなものを至近距離で放つ。

ﾗｳﾞ：おいおい

虚化一護の左肩に当たり、左腕がもげる。倒れた虚化一護に近づく六車。その時虚化一護の左肩から因果の鎖を 侵食する時にでてくる口？の大きいやつがでてきて六車を襲う。

六車：！･･･な･････何だとｯ!?　ち･･･ｯ

再び鬼道のようなものを放ち、それを倒す。しかし、虚化一護の左肩からは新しい腕が生えていた 。

六車：･･･意外と早えーな、虚化がよ。

ﾘｻ（虚化制御の為の内在闘争の限界時間は1時間前後、鉢玄抜いて10分×6で1ﾀｰﾝ60分 なら･･･）

ﾘｻ：次にあたしまで回ってきたら･･･終わりやな。

BLEACH220.King & His Horse

煽り：自由をよこせ━━思うが儘に力を振う自由を･･･

表紙は白一護。前の一護の表紙の対みたいな感じで逆さ文字で黒崎一護と書かれてる。

一護の持つ斬魄刀が完全に消える。

一護：･･･ざ･･･斬月･･･が･･･。

白一護：━━斬月じゃねえよ。言ったろ、"俺が斬月だ"ってな。

一護：･･･てめえ･･･。！

次の瞬間、白一護の姿が消え、一瞬で一護の顔を掴みそのままビルに投げつける。

白一護：･･･相変わらず呆れるぐらい脳ﾐｿのﾕﾙいﾔﾛｰだ。武器無くしたままなにをﾎﾞｰｯとしてやが んだ?　･･･一護、"王とその騎馬の違い"は何だ?

一護：･･･何だと･･･?

白一護："人と馬"だとか"二本足と四本足"だとかそういうｶﾞｷの謎かけをしてんじゃねえぞ。姿も能力も そして力も!全く同じ二つの存在があったとして!
　　　　そのどちらかが王となって戦いを支配し、残りのどちらかが騎馬となって力を添えるとき、その違いは 何だ!?と訊いてんだ!!
　　　　･･･答えは一つ。本能だ!!!同じ力を持つ者がより大きな力を発するために必要なもの、王となる 者に必要なものは、ただひたすらに戦いを求め、力を求め、敵を容赦なく叩き潰し、引き千切り、斬り刻む、戦 いに対する絶望的な渇望だ!!
　　　　俺達の皮を剥ぎ、肉を抉り、骨を砕いた神経のその奥、原初の階層に刻まれた、研ぎ澄まされた殺戮反 応だ!!!
　　　　てめえにはそれが無え!!剥き出しの本能ってやつがな!!てめえは理性で戦い、理性で敵を倒そうと してやがる。剣の先に鞘つけたままで一体誰を斬るってんだ!?
　　　　だからてめえは俺より弱えｪんだよ!!　一護!!!

そういって一護に投げつけた刀が一護の腹を貫く。

白一護：･･･俺は御免だぜ、一護。斬月の奴はどうだか知らねえが、俺は自分より弱えｪ王を、背中に乗せて 走り回って、一緒に斬られるのは耐えられねえ。
　　　　てめえの方が弱えｪなら、てめえを潰して、俺が王になる。

一護の方へ歩きながらそういうと一護の腹に刺さった刀の柄を掴む白一護。

一護（本能？　剣　戦いを　求める　剣　渡さねえ　剣　　　　剣）

一護は白一護が自分の腹から抜こうとしている刀の掴む。すると白かった斬月が侵食するように黒く染まってい く。思わず手を離し距離をとる白一護。
そして白一護を見つめる一護の表情のアップで次週へ。

煽り：一護の奥で何が!?

Quick summary:

Shirosaki stills fights the Vizards who are taking turns... then in the inner world, Shirosaki stabs Ichigo in the stomach but when he is taking out the Zampa, Ichi grabs it turning it black and dissapearing. Shirosaki takes distance, they both stare and the chapter ends...

what the...?!!?? is that really whats gonna happen??i tot it would take ichigo longer than that to retaliate in some sort of way...

-----------------------------------------------------------------
where did ya get the source from? - W

I trust Ocasas has obtained this information from a reliable site. Only once has Ocasas ever gotten false information that i can remember.

Fanning: The crisis which continues inside the Inner World! Matching the ferocity of the keen fight in the real world!

Lisa (Risa): Huff, huff, huff, break time's when, huh?

Hirako: If we rotate all 8 of us here every 10 minutes, we can continue for an hour and twenty minutes before then.

Hiyori: 8 people it is, but you keep forgetting that one of us has to pull him back out so it's really 7, baldie.

Hirako: Well, 7 people times 10 minutes is still over an hour!

Hatch (Hacchi): Well, right now we're stretching out this battle out pretty thin, and I have to keep this barrier so... those calculations, should I be in them...?

Lisa (Risa): (He's pretty strong... ! Looking back at it now... unless Kensei... this won't...)

Muguruma fights Masked Ichigo and manages to score a hit on its left shoulder with his Zanpakutou, but the wound heals instantly.

Kensei: (Instant Regneration?!)

Muguruma extends a fist and fires off a Kidou at close range.

Love (Ravu): Oi oi!

In the attack, Masked Ichigo's left arm is blown off at the shoulder. Muguruma approaches Masked Ichigo as it collapses. At that time, Ichigo's Chain of Fate shoots out of Ichigo's stump and the jaws at its end attack Muguruma.

Kensei: !...Wh... What the shit!? Chi...

Muguruma repeats the last Kidou to blow off the Chain, but a new arm has completely grown in its place.

Kensei: ...Totally unexpected you'd convert to a Hollow so quickly.

Lisa (Risa): (If the maximum amount of time for prolonging the fight to fully control Hollow coversion is around an hour without Hatch is an hour...) I'll be putting a stop to this next time I'm up.

Bleach c220 King & His Horse
Anti-Ichigo is the featured character on the chapter cover page.

Translator's Note: The title this week is an allusion to a line from King Richard III by William Shakespeare. It implies that like Richard III, Ichigo will be willing to give up an entire kingdom (his Inner World) just for the sake of a horse (Zangetsu). From the play's fifth act, fourth scene, lines 10-17:

Richard: A horse! a horse! my kingdom for a horse!
Cate: Withdraw, my lord; I’ll help you to a horse.
Richard: Slave! I have set my life upon a cast,
And I will stand the hazard of the die.
I think there be six Richmonds in the field;
Five have I slain to-day, instead of him.—
A horse! a horse! my kingdom for a horse!

Ichigo: Zangetsu...

Anti-Ichigo: For the last time, he's mine! Zangetsu "is me"

Ichigo: You dirty cheat...

Anti-Ichigo immediately moves toward Ichigo and launches him into a nearby building.

Anti-Ichigo: No surprise that you let every little thing get to you, airhead. What are you doing with that blank stare unarmed? ...Listen, can you tell what makes a king different from his horse?

Ichigo: What's that?

Anti-Ichigo: Well, it's not as simple as matter of who's got how many legs. In terms of form, ability, and power, people have thought that they could've been the one and the same once. Yet, eventually the persona which gains the upper hand becomes a "king" and the one left out becomes a "horse" that can only support its master. So what makes them so different in the first place?!!

Anti-Ichigo: ...It's only one thing-- instinct!!! Such a concept is vital to those who have equal power but seek something more. The power that is necessary who dons the persona of a "king" should use it solely for waging war. Mercilessly continuing an onslaught, mutilating the enemy, a total yearning for carnage!! Skinning ourselves, tearing off flesh and nerves, and crushing our bones, all for the sake of sharpening our killer instinct!!! Yet you just don't have this! You're too general, too bland, needing only one reason to fight and defeat your opponents. Just who exactly were you going to kill when you began to lose your sword? This is why you just don't stack up against me!! Ichigo!!!

Translator's Note: As you can see, for those of you still clinging onto the notion that Anti-Ichigo isn't totally evil... this pretty much confirmed that he's a raving engine of destruction that loves to indulge in sadism.

Anti-Ichigo impales Ichigo in the gut with his thrown sword.

Anti-Ichigo: Don't mind me, I've got no idea exactly where the old man is. But, I'll be damned before I let a weak-ass king ride on my back. You're not nearly worthy Ichigo, you'll disappear and then I'll take the throne.

Anti-Ichigo walks towards Ichigo, but Ichigo uses the sword in his gut to block the coup-de-grace.

Ichigo: (Instinct, eh? If it's a sword fight you want, and you won't hand one over... ...a sword...)

Ramming his hand into his opponent, Ichigo pulls a sword out of Anti-Ichigo's chest. The white Zangetsu immediately turns black. Both of them take their distance from each other and stare into each other's eyes.

Translator's Note: Anyone besides me have any flashes of Revolutionary Girl Utena or FLCL? Seems like Anti-Ichigo can fall into the Rose Bride and Naota's camp now.

End of c220.

Sounds like a pretty tight note, and that if Hichigo can some how keep some of his hollow powers he will be a god compared to the captains in SS. That in turn will take the fight against Aizen to a whole new level. Just a quick little note how would Byakua stack up in a fight with Wichigo, I assume the outcome would be the same as when he fought Hichigo. I can't wait to see the chapter if this is indeed the chapter.

That seems amazing (if it is indeed the chapter), I was actually starting to lose faith in Bleach.

ok....lets see...if ichigo manages to control his hollow powers...he would have.....INSTANT REGENERATION??!!?? wtf? hows this gonna be fair?? man...the power balance is kinda screwing up rite now..and not to mention instant regeneration will not be the only thing he will have with his new powers...

what is the author thinking?? "-_-) - W

Just because someone has instant regeneration doesn't mean they will be unbeatable, I am sure Aizen will have it as well. "IF" this does become a new power for Hichigo, also keep in mind just because someone regenerates doesn't mean they don't get tired. Hichigo can keep growing limbs or whatever as much as he wants, but eventually his stamina will run out and he will become exhausted. I doubt that power will become a norm in the show though, it will create to many super characters persay. People will come along and say Ichigo can just regenerate he can never be beat, if that is the case why watch or read the manga.

On the other hand if Ichigo's regeneration abilities are the norm in the anime/manga then there will have to be some drawback to him using it for instance it takes away from his life expectancy, like Tsunade in Naruto.

I think Hollow-Ichigo is testing Ichigo to see if he is indeed worthy to be his master, if not then he will kill him. I think in this chapter, Kubo depicted what we all thought of ichigo well, he is too plain,he only fights for one reason and he never tries to get stronger unless he has to. much like how kishimoto did with naruto's character in the last chapter. It is just like what Zaraki had told ichigo about how come he is so strong and not like fighting.

*sigh* this is why it is just better to wait like 5-10 chapters to come out then read it.
