1. Before the battle
44 linesA man calling himself Kisuke Urahara suddenly appears and explains to Ryuken that he has been studying Hollowification for many years. He believes that is what is happening to Masaki and that she cannot be returned to her former self.
He starts to explain that his method for saving her is to inject a counteractive agent into her soul to offset the Hollowfication.
To put it another way, in order to halt the progression, we need to hit it with a counteractive force.
But to save this Quincy girl's life, prevent her Hollowfication, and allow her to retain her existence as a human, we're talking an extremely powerful counteractive force.
Something enduring enough to stay at her side as long as she lives. Strong enough to continually suppress her Hollowfication. Something like...
No, you're wrong!
It's madness! There has got to be some other way!
Well, look at you.You figured it out. But I'm afraid it's not your call to make.
............
The one who has to choose is you, Isshin Shiba.
............
Soul Reapers are the opposites of Quincies. Humans are the opposites of Hollows.
Right now, Masaki is a hybrid of Quincy and Hollow.
So, in order to counteract that, we need a hybrid of Soul Reaper and human.
This Gigai is a special creation of mine. It was created from a human soul. It subsumes any soul that enters it, making it completely human.
You get it now, don't you? If you use this Gigai, you'll become a hybrid of Soul Reaper and human.
Which means you'll become Masaki's opposite.
That is, if you choose to go that way. But before you do, you should know there's nothing but downsides in it for you.
For starters, I'll have to bind your soul to both Masaki's soul and the Hollow within her with a string of Reishi.
And this bond will have to last for as long as Masaki lives. No, longer. It will be passed down to all her descendants forever.
And once you've entered this Gigai, not only will you be unable to use your Soul Reaper powers, but you won't even be able to see Hollows.
And if you should choose to get in, it's more than likely you'll never return to being a Soul Reaper again.
(It's true. There's nothing but downsides in it for him.)
(It's no choice at all! He'll never do it. Who in their right mind would?)
All right then! I'll do it!
What?
You heard me. I said I'll do it, so c'mon, let's do it! Enough explanations, I get it!
I just have to quit being a Soul Reaper and I can protect her, right? Hell yeah I'll do it!
And you're really okay with it?
Am I "okay" with it? No, of course I'm not!
But how I feel about it doesn't matter. If I were to hold back and not try to save her when I could, my future self would never forgive me!
............
All right, then. Let's begin the procedure.
(I'm falling... Falling into a deep, peaceful place. It's quiet, dark, and lonely…)
(And yet, I don't feel frightened at all. I have a strange feeling that someone who needs me is waiting for me down here.)
Who is it?
............
Don't worry, I've come to protect you.
Sorry, Hollow, but now that I'm here, you're never gonna lay another finger on this girl's soul. Got it?
Getsugatensho!
Looks like I've successfully bound your souls together. She'll be all right now.
What a relief. Thank goodness.
I remember you, you're that Soul Reaper I met before. Hi, there. It's funny, I don't even know your name.
I'll tell you when you wake up.
