1. Before the battle
15 linesTheir first encounter, farewell, reunion, and desperate struggles... This is a record of the battles of Ichigo and Rukia, as well as of their bond.
Ichigo Kurosaki was just a high schooler who could see ghosts, but his destiny changed forever after meeting the Soul Reaper known as Rukia Kuchiki.
Do you want to save your family?
Of course I do! If there's a way, then tell me how!
It will only be temporary, but...
You must become a Soul Reaper yourself.
What?
You must take my Zanpakuto and run it through to the center of your being, so that I may pour my powers into you.
I can't guarantee that you will live, but if it doesn't work, it won't matter.
The chance of success is low, and if we fail, you die. But there is no other way, nor time to ponder it!
Don't come... Danger... Run... Ichigo...
Then give me that blade, Soul Reaper.
My name is Rukia. Rukia Kuchiki.
And my name is Ichigo Kurosaki!
Ichigo Kurosaki, a high schooler who merely had the ability to see ghosts, became a Soul Reaper in order to protect his family.
2. Before the boss
9 linesIt was against the law to give Soul Reaper powers to Ichigo, so Rukia returned to the Soul Society to face her punishment.
Ichigo, together with his close friends, found a way into the Soul Society to prevent Rukia's execution.
After putting his life on the line during his training and facing numerous battles, Ichigo emerged victorious in his fight against Rukia's older brother Byakuya, someone who had defeated him easily in the world of the living.
You wanted to know why I would allow Rukia to be executed.
Criminals must be brought to justice. Once their punishment is decided, it must be carried out. That is the rule of the law.
You honor the law? Even over the life of your own sister?
Sympathy towards a relative... What could be more pointless? Feelings and emotions have no value compared to the law. Luckily, I've never been burdened by such useless sentiments.
The Kuchiki clan is one of the Four Great Noble Clans. We're duty-bound to serve as examples for all Soul Reapers. How can we enforce our laws if we ourselves are not willing to obey them?
I'm sorry. I still can't understand. I swear, even if I were in your position, I would fight the law. I would fight until I ended your stupid law.
3. After the battle
2 linesIchigo Kurosaki, because of your free spirit and reckless abandon, you have broken my sword. You have my word: I will pursue Rukia no more.
You have won.
