Tears?
Hey, what's going on?
Where's Inoue?
Inoue sacrificed her soul
and took Yhwach with her.
Are you okay?
Inoue gave everything she had
so the rest of us could stay.
Ichigo…
So the world is saved now, right?
Not yet.
Ichigo, you…
What are you trying to do?
Ichigo…
Is it that wretched bonze?
Ichigo.
Idiot.
Why?
Why are you turning your back on me?
Inoue…
It's dawn.
Haschwalth…
Time is up.
The Almighty.
Yhwach…
Why are you still here?
Didn't you…
What are you talking about?
That future doesn't exist at all.
BLEACH: Thousand-Year Blood War
Deep in Wahrwelt, where light doesn't reach,
it's only natural you couldn't sense it.
Just before you activated the Leiden Hant,
His Majesty and I had already swapped our powers.
Besides, compared to His Majesty's power,
my original power is much more suited for combat.
Especially against an opponent like you,
who needs to be corrected.
The scales have already tipped.
Let me tell you something good.
The true terror of The Almighty
isn't the ability to see the future.
What do you mean?
I'll tell you after this fight is over.
Come, Uryu Ishida. Put everything you have on the scales,
the ones that point to no return,
the very ones of yours that broke long ago.
Everyone!
Did you think you are the only one with two blades?
You're looking for a loophole in my power, aren't you?
Ichigo,
you've got it wrong.
The future doesn't move along a single track.
The future scatters from here,
like countless grains of sand.
Of those countless scattered grains of sand,
each one is a future.
You could say they're infinite possibilities.
Ichigo, I love talking about hope.
The future can be changed. That's a fact.
And it's a beautiful and hopeful fact.
But changing the future
is merely jumping from one grain of sand to another.
And from an unreachable height, I can see and interfere with all of them.
The Almighty isn't the power to see the future.
It's the power to change it.
Inoue!
I'm sorry.
"Ichigo, I couldn't protect you."
That is the future of that woman.
Right. I changed it.
Keep holding on to hope, Ichigo.
Just like you always have.
On those rolling grains of sand known as fate and possibility,
close your eyes and keep jumping.
That is what humans call hope.
Everyone walks on the scales,
weighing what is right and wrong for them.
The fragments of right and wrong they've chosen pile up
and eventually form a person,
which is themselves.
You must have walked this path too, Uryu Ishida.
I can't see your shape.
I can't see the shape you've formed
by weighing on the scales and constantly choosing and discarding.
What kind of person are you, Uryu Ishida?
Is risking your life for those shallow humans
truly your desire?
You talk too much.
You asked me what kind of person I am.
How the heck is anyone supposed to answer that?
For me, I won't know that until after I've defeated you.
I see.
ROKU TENSHISHUN
ANOMALY DETECTED The boundary invasion value keeps rising and won't stop.
What are the Quincies trying to do?
The world is ending.
I tried colliding with it via Garganta using Reishi.
It shrank for a moment, but recovered right away.
But it did shrink, even if just for a moment, right?
But don't get your hopes up.
To amplify the effect, we'd need to make them cancel out.
Doesn't that mean the only way is to collide it with equal energy?
Where are we supposed to find that kind of energy?
If I knew, I wouldn't be so worried.
We've done everything we can.
What should we do, Akon?
This distortion grows because the soul balance between the Human World
and Soul Society has collapsed, right?
What's the point of bringing up that now?
Then how about we maintain the balance on our side?
We can open the gate to Hueco Mundo.
Can I ask you something too?
Why did you ask me what kind of person I am?
Before asking me that,
shouldn't you be trying to defeat me
and go to Yhwach as fast as you can?
They will die.
No matter how I torment you here,
His Majesty can be in no danger.
You are lucky, Uryu Ishida.
You managed to make me put on the Leiden Hant,
and you fired countless holy arrows at me like this.
That luck will turn into an equal misfortune
and fall upon you.
My Schrift is B.
The Balance.
It distributes the misfortune that occurs within range to the fortunate
to maintain the balance between fortune and misfortune.
You can't win, Uryu Ishida.
I don't think I'll get anything more out of you.
It doesn't matter if you don't say anything.
Let's end this.
Wait. Don't you want to see
my Schrift?
What a pathetic attempt to buy time.
If you could have won with that, you would have already used it.
Quite the opposite.
I think now is the right time.
What do you mean?
My Schrift
is A, Antithesis.
Antithesis
can reverse events that have occurred between two designated points.
This time, I simply
reversed our injuries.
I see.
That is a remarkable power.
No wonder His Majesty thinks so highly of you.
If it's a power that can reverse what has already happened,
perhaps you are the only one who can oppose His Majesty's power.
What do you mean?
Do you mean the true power of The Almighty you just mentioned?
Interpret it however you want.
I can only tell you
that stalling you here is the right choice.
You thought I'd let you go?
Your Antithesis is impressive.
But it's nothing compared to The Balance of mine.
I told you.
Misfortune can be shared.
And all the misfortune that befalls me
can be shouldered by this Freund Schild.
In other words,
the fortune of the damage you inflict on me
will turn into an equal misfortune and fall upon you.
And the misfortune inflicted on me
will be transferred to this Freund Schild
and turn into an even greater misfortune for you.
I told you, Uryu Ishida. You can't win.
Still won't give up?
You're a smart man.
You should know you can't defeat His Majesty or me.
I take back what I said about not being able
to see your shape.
You are remarkably similar
to those foolish humans.
You still don't understand.
The new world I desire
is also the world that woman desired.
A peaceful world
without conflict, pain, hatred, or sorrow.
That is the new world I long for.
Don't despair, Ichigo.
For a parent, there is nothing more heartbreaking
than having to kill their own son in despair.
You can still move?
You said I'm like Kurosaki and the others?
I believe that up until now,
I've always calmly
put everything on the scales you spoke of before acting.
But Kurosaki is stupid. He can't do that.
If he wants to save someone, he just does it.
No matter which way the scales are tipping,
he doesn't care at all.
Inoue is stupid too.
Chad is stupid as well.
Kuchiki is also stupid.
So is Abarai.
If I look like those idiots,
then I'm happy.
Is that so?
It seems you fear both hope and despair.
Even with The Almighty,
it seems you can't figure out true feelings.
I know all too well what despair is.
Because up until now,
I've overcome it countless times.
I need you for this very moment,
my son.
Happy?
I never asked how you felt from the start.
Being with them is no good for you.
That's what I'm saying.
Has being with them helped you grow?
Compared to the years you spent with them,
the moment His Majesty gave you power
allowed you to grow much more.
If companions are those who improve each other,
then the people worth risking your life for aren't them,
but His Majesty.
You said the scales represent choosing, right?
And the choice I made
is to stay with them.
This choice has nothing to do with gain or loss,
and it's not about right or wrong.
Because we're friends.
I see. I understand.
You've gained His Majesty's approval,
yet you refuse to discard anything.
Then at least discard your life.
Uryu Ishida.
Bankai!
Tensa Zangetsu!
Don't make such a grim expression, Ichigo.
I'm paying my respects to your power.
A brand new Tensa Zangetsu.
I judged it would be a formidable Bankai,
so I broke it in the future beforehand.
Bankai!
Bankai?
I love this word.
Ren…
It's a word filled with power
that allows you Soul Reapers to get back on your feet
no matter the situation.
Thanks to this word,
I've crushed the hopes of Soul Reapers who try to regain their spirit.
You've overcome despair countless times
and changed the future, haven't you?
Do you know why you could do that?
Because I wasn't there.
Ichigo, show me how you change the future.
No matter how beautiful that future is,
I am already watching it.
And then I'll also crush that future,
the one you're trying to change.
BLEACH Episode 46
Come on.
Don't despair, Ichigo.
THE END
BLEACH: Thousand-Year Blood War
What's with that look?
Do you think I'm frustrated?
Because His Majesty took my power?
Quite the opposite.
The fact that His Majesty didn't take your power
fills me with pride.
The fact that His Majesty chose to take my power
fills me with pride.
Because it means only I could help His Majesty.
Is that so?
Wait, Uryu Ishida.
Transfer your wounds to me before you go.
I'm going to die soon.
Whether there are more wounds or not, it won't make a difference.
What are you talking about?
What's wrong? Are you pitying me?
Weren't you fighting with the intent to kill me just moments ago?
But…
What's there to hesitate about?
I told you that everything must be weighed on the scales.
Because decisions forced in confusion
that can't be weighed
will always turn into regret.
In that case, put this on the scales too.
Uryu Ishida,
you should go save your friends.
Even if the outcome doesn't change,
making a choice
and moving forward by your own will has meaning in itself.
I have no regrets.
None at all.
We attract each other
like water droplets and planets.
We repel each other
like magnets
