bleach chapter 46.Karneades~Back to Back
Ichi- Shinigami…
Ichi- destroyed the Quincy…?
Ruk- That’s right.
Ruk- There were no other options.
Ruk- It was in order to prevent the destruction of the world.
46.Karneades ~ Back to Back
Ruk- In Soul Society, those who belong to the Order of Shinigami,
Ruk- are commonly called “Balancers.”
Ruk- The amount of souls in this world and in Soul Society are constantly being evened out.
Ruk- Do you know why?
Ruk- If that is not done, the balance between the 2 worlds will collapse.
Ruk- It will beckon their mutual destruction!
Ruk- Our job as Shinigami is to regulate the amount of souls in both worlds.
Ruk- Souls released from Soul Society are watched over by Shinigami and born as living things in this world.
Ruk- Souls that die in this world are sent back to Soul Society by Shinigami.
Ruk- Hollows are no exception to that.
Ruk- And the whole cycle of souls has been entrusted to the Shinigami,
Ruk- Soul Society knew the quantity of souls,
Ruk- and they could make adjustments with this world.
Ruk- However, the Quincy appeared then.
Ruk- The Quincy completely extinguish Hollows!
Ruk- That means that souls who come to Reality don’t return to Soul Society!
Ruk- The souls would increase only on the side of Reality!
Ruk- Meaning that the world inclines toward the side of Reality
Ruk- and Soul Society will spill over into Reality!
Ruk- A chaos that mixes life and death
Ruk- In other words,
Ruk- the destruction of the world.
Ruk- Since they first confirmed the existence of the Quincy, many years passed as Soul Society continued to appeal to them.
Ruk- “Let the Shinigami cope with all the Hollows,” they said.
Ruk- However, due to their obstinacy, Quincys didn’t try to accept that.
Ruk- As this was going on, the Quincy continued to grow in number,
Ruk- the cycle of souls continued to be in disarray,
Ruk- it was moving towards impending world destruction.
Ruk- And so,
Ruk- the decision was made to wipe out the Quincy.
Ruk- Is this
Ruk- what you would call the Shinigami’s arrogance?
Ichi- …I don’t know anything about that…
Ichi- Damn it all.
Ichi- …but…
Ishi- Shit…
Ishi- I kill and kill, but no matter what, their numbers don’t decrease…
Ishi- Sensei…!
Ichi- Ishidaaa____!!!
(ishi- urk!)
(fx- BOOM POW CRASH)
Ichi- UUOOOOOOO____!!!
Ishi- Ku… Kurosaki…!?
Ishi- Wha… what a messed up fighting technique…!!
Ishi- Is this the strategy of the guy who told me to “think of a strategy”!?
Ichi- DASSHAAA!!!
Ichi- Ishidaaa____!!!
Ichi- I heard about your “reason for fighting”!!
Ichi- Whether the Shinigami are right, or the Quincy are right,
Ichi- I don’t know about that stuff and I don’t plan on saying anything about it!
Ichi- But there is one thing I understand!!
Ichi- Ishida! Your way of doing things is…
Ishi- Old news.
Ichi- …huh?
Ishi- I’m not interested in the fall of the Quincy 200 years ago.
Ishi- I’ve only heard about that from my Sensei.
Ishi- To me, it’s simply an old tale.
Ishi- Sorry, but I’m not the kind of overly-sympathetic person…
Ishi- who could use that reason
Ishi- to antagonize you Shinigami.
Ishi- As for that story of their fall,
Ishi- I felt that the Shinigami were probably right.
Ishi- Until
Ishi- my Sensei died right before my eyes.
Ishi- Sensei
Ishi- Sense~i
Sen- What is it, Uryuu?
Ishi- About their fall 200 years ago that you told me about recently,
Ishi- were you mislead about what happened?
Ishi- Weren’t the Shinigami wrong after all?
Sen- That’s not it, Uryuu.
Sen- I rather think
Sen- that the Quincy were wrong for not lending an ear to the words of the Shinigami.
Ishi- Why?
Ishi- The Quincy were the ones destroyed…
Sen- That’s correct.
Sen- A lot of people died.
Sen- With people dying,
Sen- it’s meaningless to think who is right and who is wrong.
Sen- What you have to think about is,
Sen- how to keep such a thing from happening again.
Sen- That’s all.
Sen- No matter if a person is a human or Shinigami,
Sen- it’s hard for me to look at sad faces.
Ishi- Sensei,
Ishi- I have one more question.
Sen- What is it?
Ishi- He was a kind person.
Ishi- Will the traditional clothes of the Quincy have a renewal?
Ishi- I think these are really uncool.
Ishi- And your cape, too.
Ishi- I was never taught by Sensei
Ishi- to despise people, or to feel hate.
Ishi- As the last remaining survivor of the Quincy, the Shinigami had Sensei under strict watch.
Ishi- However, Sensei kept appealing to those Shinigami about the necessity of the Quincy.
Ishi- He groped towards working together to fight.
Ishi- In peacetime, the Shinigami in Soul Society would be late in dealing with Hollows in this world.
Ishi- He said that it’s important to have people like us in this world that can keep an eye out and deal with Hollows quickly.
Ishi- But the Shinigami always gave him the same reply concerning that,
Ishi- “Don’t interfere with our work”
Ishi- And then,
Ishi- Sensei died.
Ishi- His enemies on that day were 5 huge Hollow,
Ishi- Without Shinigami to protect him, it was obvious that he couldn’t fight them.
Ishi- And
Ishi- as expected, the Shinigami were late in handling it.
Ishi- When they came to defeat the Hollows,
Ishi- it was 2 hours after Sensei began fighting.
Ishi- One hour had passed
Ishi- since Sensei’s death.
Ishi- In the end,
Ishi- Sensei’s ideals never reached the Shinigami.
Ishi- If Shinigami acknowledged Sensei’s opinion,
Ishi- if they acknowledged the strength of the Quincy,
Ishi- they would have acted faster to come save him.
Ishi- It could have ended without Sensei’s death.
Ishi- Do you understand, Kurosaki Ichigo?
Ishi- In front you - a Shinigami,
Ishi- I must prove the strength of the Quincy!
Ishi- In this fight,
Ishi- I do not wish for your help.
Ishi- You and I are Shinigami and Quincy,
Ishi- I know that our views are polar opposite.
Ishi- If you think my views are wrong,
Ishi- you are welcome to watch from there.
Ishi- I will simply
Ishi- prove my strength.
Ichi- …you…
Ichi- Your story is too long!!!
Ishi- Wha… w-w-w-what are you doing!!
Ichi- Shut up!!
Ichi- It doesn’t make any sense!
Ichi- Your story was so long that I forgot the first half!
Ichi- But in fact, your sensei’s greatest wish…
Ichi- It wasn’t about the Shinigami acknowledging the strength of the Quincy!
Ichi- It was about working along with the Shinigami, wasn’t it!?
Ichi- So if you won’t do that now, when will you!?
Ichi- Shinigami and Quincy are exact opposites!
Ichi- That’s just fine!!
Ichi- In a fight against a large number of enemies…
Ichi- the best way to go about it is back to back!!
Extra #3

Yuzu- Brother didn’t come back either…
Yuzu- I’m so lonely…
