Chapter 1: Welcome to Hueco Mundo!

Woaaaahhhh!

Eeee-ow!

What the hell? What just happened?

Hi, there. I've been waiting for you.

You! You're Gin Ichimaru! Wait, does that mean I'm in Hueco Mundo?!

That's correct! Oh, there's no need for you to put up your guard. I didn't bring you here to fight.

Then, why...?

You see, I have this segment where I get to introduce Arrancars and explain more about them to people who aren't quite sure of who they are.

In today's segment, I'm planning to introduce Hueco Mundo, and I'm inviting you to come along as our guest.

Huh? What do you mean?

I thought we'd get a little more realism by having someone who doesn't know as much about this place, you know?

Now, if you've got that through your skull, we're off on our Tour de Hueco Mundo!

Huh?! Wait, why is Nel here too?!

I'm still really confused about this situation.

First, we'll start with a little basic knowledge about Hueco Mundo.

This is the world where the Hollows live. Arrancars like Nel live here too. And it's always night time here!

As you can see, it's a very barren landscape. There's nothing there but white sand deserts and dead trees. There's not a drop of water anywhere.

It's not just water that we don't have. There's nothing fun to do here either. It's a really boring place.

I see. Then, what do you do all the time?

Nel's favorite is eternal tag! We run around Hueco Mundo until we completely run out of energy!

Sounds like a very tiring game to me.

Grrrr...

A Hollow?!

There, there. No need to panic.

As we mentioned before, this is where the Hollows live. As long as you don't do anything to them, they'll just walk right past us.

Grr... Grrrr!

No matter how you look at this, they're obviously trying to attack me!

You're amazing, Ichigo! You defeated those Hollows so easily!

There's a very high concentration of Reishi in Hueco Mundo, so smaller Hollows like these are able to survive just by breathing.

Ooh, that's interesting. This is really educational!

I don't think now's the best time to be giving explanations. Why are they attacking me? You better not have set me up for this.

You make me sound like such a terrible person. To make things clear, no, I haven't done anything. I suppose that's just something they do occasionally.

It can be dangerous if you get caught off guard. That's something new to learn, Ichigo.

I doubt anyone needs to know this kind of trivia, really.

Geez, you've still got your panties all in a twist? You're so petty!

It's not like you got hurt or anything. Let this one slide, will you?

You guys are really something...
