Chapter 2: Red Contest

What are these people? Why are they fighting Hollows?

Now, everyone! Let's get back to doing our patrol!

Wait! Wait! Waaaaait!!!

Hmm? Oh, you must be...one of our fans!

Why would I be your fan?! I just want to know who you guys are!

Bohahahaha! A fine question, you ask!

We protect the peace of Karakura Town from bad spirits!

We're the mightiest and finest allies of justice!

We are the Karakura Superheroes!!!

Uh-huh!

No, it's my job to protect this town from Hollows!

Ah-hah! This smell... It's bad spirits!

Let's go!

Hey, wait a minute! I haven't finished talking to you yet! Actually, I haven't even started!

What are you guys doing here?! Why are you normal people fighting against Hollows?

And most of you are still kids! This is absolutely dangerous!

I agree with you 100% that we must protect the kids! However, age has nothing to do with the spirit of justice!

Don't make fun of us just because we're kids! And plus, I'm Karakura Red!

Hey! I thought we decided that I was gonna be Red!

...oooaaarrrr!!!

The Hollow is close by.

Heh, what perfect timing. Whoever defeats this Hollow gets to be Red!

Oh, yeah? Bring it on!

Hey! You two need to wait!

Alright! Here's my chance!

Gotch-

Oops. I defeated it.

U-ru-ru...!!!

Ahhhh-ow-ow-ow! That hurts, Jinta!

Aww, guess we don't have a winner this time.

Will you listen to me?! I don't care who or what's "red" right now!

I'm telling you, fighting against Hollows is very dangerous! Normal humans like you need to stay out of this! This is my job!

Hmm... I see. I understand that you have a passionate spirit for justice as well.

However, we are not doing this simply for fun. This is a serious effort to protect Karakura Town.

This town is their home. They live here. And it's also a very important place to me as well.

These bad spirits are threatening their home! What kind of hero would refuse to fight if they knew they had the power to do so?!

That's no hero of justice at all! It's completely and utterly wrong!
