which charater books are avaible in english? i just got a low paying summer job and i wanna see what im saving up for.
The first databook: Bleach book of SOULs was released in English through Viz. I don't think the other two have been officially released in English yet. There are fan-made scanslations though.

you'd think MAYBE that sort of thing warrants a mention IN THE MANGA ???????
ffs, now we need a status update on Grimm

- Halibel's hollow hole is apparently in her uterus 0_o
- The hollow pup is Yammi's fraccion. His # is 35
wtf ...

Here's some slightly interesting things I stumbled across:
Full translation of Harribel & Kukkapuro novel (credit to Estella May):
Spoiler:
Nestle to Night
By Matsubara Makoto and Kubo Tite
Yammy – Yammy – It is nighttime in our world again…
After Aizen had left and all the Gargantas had closed, Hueco Mundo regained a sense of peace. Brushing by the ruins of Las Noches, the breeze seemed to carry with it sounds of lamentation. Yet apart from the sound of sand caught in the wind, there was only silence.
A single animal lay on this silent desert. It had the shape of a small dog, with the mask of a hollow and soft white fur. Its name was Kukkapuuro.
Kukkapuuro had lost almost all of its memories. It only knew that it was a hollow, and that this was Hueco Mundo. Calling itself “Kukkapuuro,” rubbing its forehead with its paw, and scratching the itch behind its ear were the only important memories that it had, sketched deep into its consciousness.
In a world full of reishi like Hueco Mundo, a small hollow like itself only needed to breathe to survive, and eventually become the prey of other hollows. Kukkapuuro was at the very bottom of the food chain, yet it was able to survive entirely because it stayed by the side of someone very strong.
Kukkapuuro looked to him and thought, “I think this person must be very important.”
As his steps were very large, he was always a great distance ahead, alwaus forcing Kukkapuuro to chase after his enormous shadow. He always looked at Kukkapuuro with an impatient mutter, refusing to even give it a name. He never held, petted, or shared food with it.
Even so, he never killed Kukkapuuro.
Until the very end, he also never left Kukkapuuro.
***
“It’s pretty quiet here…” was the first thing Mila-Rose said upon exiting the Garganta.
Following her, Apacci, Sung-Sun, and finally Tier Harribel also landed on the desert. Behind them, the Garganta silently closed, and the rip in space suddenly vanished.
“What a complete mess…” said Apacci, looking at the destruction caused to Las Noches by heated battles.
“It seems like everyone used pretty barbaric methods to fight…” said Sung-Sun, hiding her mouth behind her sleeve and looking up at the sky. The ceiling had broken in many places, creating a mosaic out of the artificial blue sky of Las Noches and the dark sky of Hueco Mundo beyond.
Harribel stared silently for a moment at the battlefield. The three of them, despite squabbling all the time, also followed her example and stood there in silence.
Standing behind Harribel’s right hand side, Apacci looked down at her own completely unharmed body, and clenched her fist.
(…Bastard!)
She muttered in her heart.
Only a few hours before, every single one of them had been close to death. Harribel’s body had suffered two wounds from Aizen’s zanpakutou Kyoka Suigetsu, one across her abdomen, and another pierced from her back through to her left chest. Apacci, Mila-Rose, and Sung-Sun had each lost an arm to create Allon, and had also suffered severe burns over their entire body from Yamamoto’s fires.
Apacci touched her left arm with her right hand. It felt completely normal, just like her orignal arm. There was also no pain remaining anywhere on her body.
(In the end… we still had to rely on the strength of humans…!)
She clenched her teeth.
The one who healed them had been Inoue Orihime. When the Fake Karakura Town had been switched back with the real one, the unconscious Arrancars had also been sent with the fake town to Soul Society. Apacci had asked her to come into the town to treat them, when Orihime came back from Hueco Mundo with Kuchiki Rukia and the rest to see Ichigo after his battle had finished.
The three of them that had been spared by Yamamoto were relatively fine compared to Harribel, who had suffered two life-threatening injuries. Apart from Orihime, there was probably nobody who could help her. Still, trusting her deeply revered Harribel to a human, for even one moment, was something that she could never forgive.
Apacci hardened her face, tightly gripping her arm.
(Such a bastard…!)
Her own undying feelings of gratitude to Orihime were something that she could never forgive.
***
Not long after Kurosaki Ichigo met everyone again, he let out an anguished cry that seemed to split open his throat, collapsed, and lost consciousness.
"Kurosaki-kun!!"
"Ichigo!!"
"Kurosaki!!"
Despite rejoicing only a few seconds before, Rukia, Orihime, Renji, Uryuu, and Chad now ran to Ichigo, calling out his name.
"Everyone, please be calm," said Urahara, stopping Orihime, who had her hands stretched out, ready to use Souten Kisshun. He saw her extremely troubled gaze and nodded to her, turning to the rest. "Kurosaki is fine. What happened just now does not endanger his life."
Chad let out a breath of relief upon hearing those words and lifted Ichigo, so that he might sleep facing up. His body, though unconscious, continued to convulse, and he let out a painful groan.
"What exactly happened to Ichigo...?" asked Rukia, frowning at Ichigo's pained state.
"In order to defeat Aizen, he used the Final Getsuga Tenshou."
"...Final?" asked Uryuu.
Urahara calmly closed his eyes, and slowly sighed. "It is a technique called 'Mugetsu,' and using it will cause him to lose all his shinigami powers... it is such a technique."
At first, everyone seemed to not understand his words. Perhaps unconsciously, they did not want to understand.
A few seconds later, Orihime murmured, "How could this be...!" She immediately collapsed to the floor.
"Shinigami... powers..." Rukia looked as if she had forgotten everything and only stared, unblinking, at Ichigo.
"Are you saying that Kurosaki can no longer be a shinigami...!?" exclaimed Uryuu, as if venting his feelings.
Urahara nodded sadly. "Yes."
"...The bastard!" Renji felt in his heart a tumultuous brew of emotions, that they had no choice but to rely on Ichigo, who wasn't even from Soul Society, that he had use this kind of technique, and that he was himself so weak.
"Ichigo...!" Chad also lowered his head, shaking at his feelings of remorse towards his own weakness.
Urahara waited until everyone had calmed down, and continued, "Kurosaki collapsing means that the first stage of his losing all his powers has begun. With Isshin's help, he trained for three months in the Dangai Precipice World's timeflow, until he attained 'Mugetsu'."
"Three months?!" Renji couldn't help but ask.
"That's why his hair is longer..." Uryuu said to himself.
Rukia envisioned the Ichigo that she had parted from in Hueco Mundo, and the one currently sleeping before her, putting both together in her mind. His hair had grown long, and it seemed like he was a bit taller. Whether unconsciously or not, his expression also seemed more mature. It had only been a few short days between the time when they sneaked into Hueco Mundo to save Orihime and the conclusion of all the fighting.
(But for you, it seems like it has been a very long fight...)
Rukia gave him a comforting glance.
"Right now his body is undergoing the effects of reversed timeflow from the time when he was in the Dangai. It will cause extreme pain and loss of consciousness, but it will not endanger his life."
"Is there anything that I can do...!" asked Orihime, distraught.
"Unfortunately, no." Urahara shook his head. "There is nothing we can do right now. After the timeflow reversion is complete, Kurosaki's shinigami powers will disappear. This is the first stage."
"And then what?!" asked Rukia, surprised.
Urahara nodded to her and continued, "As for the second stage, when the rest of his reaitsu stabilizes, he will wake up... and then, his remaining spiritual power will completely vanish."
"If that's the case, Ichigo will..." Chad swallowed.
"Never mind shinigami and hollows, he won't even be able to see normal pluses."
Upon hearing Urahara's words, everyone fell together into silence. Being able to see spirits - this was the very essence of Ichigo's existence, something which every single person there understood.
Looking at everyone's pained and gloomy expressions, Urahara said brightly, "Anyway, let's first take him somewhere to get help! Until the first stage completes, we can't send him home. If his sisters saw him all grown up like this, they would be very surprised!"
"...That's right." Renji was the first to lift his head. “There’s no use in us just sitting around and talking. Oi, bring a stretcher here!” he called out to the Fourth Squad members who were about to take apart the town. Two of the closer ones came over with a stretcher. “Take him to get help. Be careful…this is the great hero who captured Aizen!”
“Of course!” The two of them replied excitedly and bowed deeply. As the hero who had finally concluded this battle, Ichigo’s name had spread in a flash throughout the members of the Gotei 13.
When they had carefully moved Ichigo’s body onto the stretcher, Urahara and Uryuu looked up at the same time.
“Something’s coming!”
“This reiatsu… an Arrancar!?”
The two talented at sensing reiatsu lifted their heads and gazed upwards. Everyone else followed their example, looking to the sky.
Suddenly in the clear blue sky, a figure appeared using sonido, something only Arrancar could use. It came quickly, almost falling out of the sky.
They looked at the Arrancar on the ground. It was one of Tier Harribel’s fraccion, Apacci. Her skin was burnt, her left arm ripped off with blood still dripping from the wound, and it was all that she could do just to stand.
“You must not want to live…!” Renji fixed his glare on Apacci, his hand gripping his zanpakutou Zabimaru.
Still, Apacci did not even spare him a glance, as she had eyes only for Orihime. “Hey, woman…come…with me…” Her shoulder shook violently as she breathed, her words coming out in short bursts.
Seeing her heading towards Orihime, Rukia quickly put herself between the two. But before she could do anything, Apacci took another step and lost her balance, falling heavily to the ground.
“Bas…tard…” Trying to lift herself up, she grabbed a fistful of dirt.
“Souten Kisshun!” Orihime stretched out her hands, using her Shun Shun Rikka technique. Shun’o and Ayame flew to Apacci, surrounding her with a glowing healing field.
“Wait a minute, Inoue! That’s an Arrancar! There’s no reason to heal her!” Renji shouted. Orihime had once been kidnapped by the Arrancar and Renji understandably hoped that she would have no further contact with them.
“But, I can’t just do nothing…” Orihime walked past Rukia, coming closer to Apacci’s body. Even though she was an Arrancar, Orihime could not just leave someone who was hurt.
As Orihime started to focus on healing, Apacci said weakly, “Don’t mind me… first…save Harribel-sama…!”
“But, your wounds are also very serious…”
“Please!” Apacci lifted her head and grabbed Orihime’s hand, her own hand shaking, either from the pain or something else. “Please quickly… save Harribel-sama…!” Her eyes held no antagonistic, killing, or deceitful intent, only concern for her nakama, like Orihime herself.
“…I understand! Please take me there!” Orihime released her Souten Kisshun, and offered Apacci her shoulder.
“I’ll go too. Take hold of me.” Rukia stood to her other side, taking note of the wound to her shoulder, and carefully holding her up. Rukia’s left arm was also wounded and in a sling, but her right arm was tightly gripped around Apacci. Surprised, Apacci widened her eyes but did not say anything, relying on the two of them.
“Well then, I guess I have no choice…come on!” Renji walked up to them and bent over. “You’re in a hurry, right? Then let me carry you. It seems like I’m the least wounded out of all of you…”
“Thank you, Abarai-kun!” Orihime and Rukia carefully placed Apacci on Renji’s back. Renji stood up and started walking towards the fake Karakura town, with Orihime and Uryuu following behind him.
“Urahara, Chad, I’ll just leave Ichigo with you then!” Rukia ran off to join them, leaving Urahara to explain Ichigo’s injuries and Chad to nurse the wound to his leg.
***
Seeing some movement amongst the rubble, Sung-Sun asked, “Who’s there!?”
“Woof!” Kukkapuuro walked out of the shadows, running towards the four of them.
“You’re Yammy’s…” Harribel remembered that this tiny little hollow always was by Yammy’s side.
“Near here…I can feel the remains of Yammy’s reiatsu,” said Mila-Rose. It was his reaitsu from where he had used all his strength for battle.
“That fellow Yammy, he’s always so absent-minded, and always thinking himself so great, as if!” said Apacci in her usual voice. The other two nodded their agreement.
“What then…that bastard!” she said, kicking up the sand. Apacci hoped that everything would become normal soon. That humans, shinigami, this battle, and contact with Soul Society would all soon be forgotten.
“Che! Have they already discovered…!” murmured Mila-Rose, focusing on the reiatsu signatures around them.
Sung-Sun nodded, frowning. “Hn…there’s a group of mid-level hollows congregating in that direction.”
The hollows who before had feared Aizen and the Espadas’ strength were now starting to surround Las Noches.
“There’s…going to be another war then…” Harribel’s expression was grim and her heart felt heavy. As she had followed Aizen hoping that his superior strength might stop unnecessary wars from ever happening, she was unwilling to let such a thing happen.
“Harribel-sama.”
Hearing that call, she turned and saw Sung-Sun kneeling on the floor. She lowered her head and said, “Barragan is dead. Aizen is gone. The only one fit to become ruler of Hueco Mundo is now Harribel-sama.”
“I agree!” Apacci also kneeled, bowing her head.
“No matter what, please become the new ruler of Hueco Mundo!” Mila-Rose also knelt.
Harribel lowered her head, calmly regarding the three who were now awaiting an answer. “Hueco Mundo does not need a ruler.”
“A fake sun can not illuminuate this darkness.” The blue sky created by Aizen stretched above them. “Hueco Mundo has darkness…and only needs a peaceful darkness.”
Harribel slowly blinked and started walking towards the center of Las Noches. The three of them stood up, exchanged glances, and silently nodded.
“We will always serve you, Harribel-sama!” said Sung-Sun, as they followed her.
After five or six steps, Apacci stood still and looked back at Kukkapuuro, which was still staring at the four of them. “Hey, little thing! You’ll be killed if you stay in a place like this!” She walked over and picked it up, but Kukkapuuro yelped and struggled from her grasp.
Seeing this, Sung-Sun said to her, “Let it go. Don’t you understand that it wholly wants to stay here?”
“You’re so noisy! I don’t need you to tell me. I was planning to let it go!” She put it down and Kukkapuuro happily yelped, wagging its tail.
“You too, also have something that you cannot leave?” Mila-Rose gently petted Kukkapuuro’s head, before walking back to Harribel’s side with the other two.
Their shadows slowly disappeared. Their footprints also vanished, smoothed out by the wind.
Kukkapuuro stayed there and saw it all.
To this day, it is still there, still missing its deceased master.
^^Maybe that could get a filler episode or two
Aizens motivation (translated by slmcknett)
Spoiler:
FACT 1: 神の高みへ
FACT 1: The Heights of God
藍染は霊王になり代わり、新しい世界を創造する。 その崇高な目的を果たす "使者" として、 自分は神 の域にある存在という意識が芽生えた。
Aizen wanted to become the Spirit King and create a brand new world. He wanted to become a divine "messenger" and make those under His domain become aware of His presence.
FACT 2: 孤独
FACT 2: Loneliness
誰よりも強かった藍染は、 誰にも理解されこと無い孤独の世界を抱えていた。 強き者故の孤独は深く、 哀 しい。
Aizen was stronger than anybody else, and because of this, he was lonely and misunderstood by everyone. The loneliness that came with this strong isolation was very deep, and very sad.
^^Honestly, I'm disappointed in Kubo for taking the entire "loneliness" aspect seriously for so many reasons.
Gins motivation (translated by slmcknett)
Spoiler:
FACT 1: 崩玉の犠牲
FACT 1: The Hogyoku's Sacrifice
幼い頃のギンが目撃した、 乱菊と死神との情景。 網膜に焼き付いたそれは、 ギンを 「崩玉」 という ”答え” へと導く―――。
As a child, Gin saw something: an event with Rangiku and some Soul Reapers. Gin burned this image into his retinas, concluding that the 「Hogyoku」 would lead him to some "answers".
焼け廃れた廃屋の前に横たわる乱菊。 どれだけの被害を被ったのか。
Scorched to death, Rangiku was laying outside an abandoned house. She had suffered some serious damage.
FACT 2: 親玉
FACT 2: The Boss
黒き玉に何かを捧げる ”親玉”。 見るからに首謀者と分かるその男に、 ギンは燃えたぎる復讐を心に燃や す。
The black ball was given to their "boss". The mastermind behind what had transpired was now in plain sight. Gin's heart fired up, boiling for revenge.
FACT 3: 死神
FACT 3: Soul Reaper
慎ましくも平穏な日々を送っていたギンと乱菊。 しかし、 ギンは復讐心を胸に、 あの男と同じ死神になる 決意を固め旅立つ。
Gin and Rangiku spent their days together modestly and peacefully. However, Gin held revenge in his heart, determined to set out to be a Soul Reaper, just like that man.
I like this for confirming for me that Gin was really only interested in revenge.
Finally, (at the risk of sparking another debate) I believe someone also confirmed that the scream WW did to free Halibel was a technique). In other words, this all but confirms that Hitsugaya would've beaten Halibel had WW not interfered.
hold on. wasent there a very ichixruki part in the new data book? i remember as there was some1 im subscribed to kept spamming in a bullitain about it.
- Halibel and her fraccion survived the FKT battle (I guess Yama held back and Aizen's aim wasn't good enough).
Yama pretty much said he held back and gave them a "light scorching" and Aizen was pretty much holding back the entire time.
Thinking about the placement of Halibel's hollow hole, as silly as it sounds upon first hearing it, gives a interesting theory about her human life and that maybe she had lost her baby or that she was unable to conceive a child.
Does anyone know if the 3rd databook flat out states any of the top 4 espada to be Vasto Lorde's? Because I'm about to get into it with someone who adamantly believes that despite the info we just got, there's absolutely nothing anywhere to prove ANY of the top 4 Esapda were VL's. So I basically need nothing less than a statement that spells it out completely and leaves literally no room for doubt. Does Ulquiorra's side story state anything about Vasto Lorde's? Or was it just assumed that the hollow's seen surrounding him were also VL's?
well he was human looking (and human-sized) as a hollow, pre-arrancar .. isn't that a confirmation that he is a VL ? now that you mention it, so were Starrk & Barragan (well Barry was skeletor, but a human skeleton) .. and Grimm was a panther (last we saw him as a hollow), non-human = adjuhas .. seems about right .. and Starrk - most human-looking, = also strongest (well, the Yammy thing non-withstanding .. he can't just release into #0 whenever he wants as I understand, has to pig out first)
dunno if it flat out says so .. but tbh #1-4 being VL makes the most sense
about anime's confirmation that Halibel was a VL - well Kubo's responsible for manga, not anime, but I think he has a hand there too somewhat, and since Halibel didn't have a backstory in the manga they gave her one in the anime and Kubo confirmed her as a VL for them
I guess we'll never have a solid confirmation written in ink, so that's about it

It's not fully translated, but I believe it's confirmed Ulq's mini-story states that he's from a nest of VL. He's also a natural arrancar since his mask is seen breaking in the story. So it's assumed that all the arrancar with higher rank than Ulq are also VL, though it's not outright stated like Kallen mentioned.
Except for Yammi. Most are inclined to believe Yammi was a freak of nature adjuchas since his physique doesn't match that of a VL.
Quote:

It proves that WW broke Hitsu's prison but not that Halibel would'nt have eventually escaped. That's like saying Yamamoto all but defeated Aizen, Gin and Tousen because Superchunky arrived and released them from the fire prison.

Actually, that does make a lot sense. It would also explain her theme of sacrifice and her strong maternal instinct towards her fraccion. Too bad we never get any insight into the arrancar's lives as humans.

Well, if we remove Yammi and Aaroniero as candidates (one is a freak the other a Gillian) that leaves 8 Espada ... and since the last databook had said that the majority of the Espada are Vasto Lordo, that means that their can be at least another VL among them (Nnoitra?) and at most the other 4 (unlikely IMO) anyway at this point it's kind of hard arguing that there wasn't any VL in Aizen's Espada.

Well, the difference was that wasn't a fight. Yamamoto would've been able to defeat Aizen in a one to one fight. He had an obstacle named WW however.

Eh, I don't know. Wouldn't the whole being merged with a multitude of Hollows and then becoming a Guillen and whatnot alter and change the Hollows?
Still, interesting theory. But what does that mean for Szayel's hole?
Thanks for the answers to my question Kallen4life & Sabaku Kyu.

Like I said though, was that part (about being from a nest of VL's) confirmed based on something stated in the story, or was it assumed based on Ulq's appearance on top of the appearance of the hollows around him?

Yamamoto's fire cage wasn't made to be harmful or fatal towards those inside it. Hitsu's attack on the other hand, was designed to make escape less and less likely by the second as it came closer to killing off it's victim for good. So I wouldn't say those situations are very similar.
Like I said though, was that part (about being from a nest of VL's) confirmed based on something stated in the story, or was it assumed based on Ulq's appearance on top of the appearance of the hollows around him?
As far as I'm aware, it was assumed from the images themselves.
P.S. I really hated Hitsu vs Hali fight and Hitsu's snowflakes of DOOM even more .. stupid Hitsu-shota, stupid snow

Menos are made up of several hollows, but it might be that one of the hollows becomes the dominant basis for its personality. Not that I think we'll ever get an in-depth explanation of that.
As for the reason of Syzael's hole is where it is, I think Kallen's idea works

What Arabesque said. I haven't seen a full translation of all the text. It's Ulq's memory and POV though, so I guess it's a real possibility that the term Vastro Lorde isn't actually used, since hollows don't really use those titles referring to themselves unless it's for specific reason.
Rangiku & Kira's conversation (translated by Estella May)
Spoiler:
Character Introductions:
Matsumoto Rangiku: Lieutenant of the 10th Division, this willful beauty’s figure is second to none throughout the entire Gotei 13. After losing her childhood friend Gin, she now feels an emptiness that she cannot fill.
Kira Izuru: Ichimaru Gin’s direct subordinate, Lieutenant of the 3rd Division. Even though he possesses strength and knowledge befitting his position, his air seems to give people the impression that he tends to rely on others.
[Two Lonely Souls’ Wild Drunken Night]
M: Hey hey Izuru! You haven’t drunk enough yet, right?
K: Nope, I’m still drinking, see! (Hiccup)
M: If you drink it all in one gulp, I’ll pour the next one for you myself~ ☆
M: What – the, speaking in such a sad tone of voice! Clearly, you haven’t had enough yet! Come on…
K: No, Matsumoto-san, if I have more then I’m afraid…
M: I will take care of you until the very end, so today drink your fill!!
K: Okay, okay. Well then, following through is better than being deferential…
M: Oh~~ Izuru, I didn’t expect you to be able to drink this much! Keep drinking, just like that! Mana~ger~ heat more sake! I want the big jugs! And plates of capelin too!
K: But Matsumoto-san… why have you always been so good to me? After I did such a horrible thing to you before-
M: That’s all in the past. Besides, this isn’t just for you… it’s because I myself want to drink!!
[Izuru, Blind Admiration]
M: Say, after you had been betrayed, you were still so obedient towards Gin. Why did you still have so much faith in that guy? What exactly was so good about him?
K: Even though Ichimaru-taichou always looked like that, he was really a very kind and warm person. He just wasn’t very good at displaying it and his outer persona was very easily misunderstood, but he was really very kind and warm.
M: Ah! He was very kind to you too?
K: Of course! Did you know that behind the Third Division’s barracks, there are some persimmon trees? Every year when they bore fruit, Captain would always make tons of dried persimmons himself.
M: On this topic, Izuru you often brought some to share with us.
K: Also, he was always telling me to eat more, and even if I said that I had enough, Captain would still tell me not to be polite and eat more… Even though in the end my stomach felt like it would burst – Captain, he was so kind.
M: Eating like that gave you diarrhea though.
K: Eh…that’s very true. He also completely trusted me as his lieutenant, and let me take care of all business within the division… Even though he never complimented me, he also never interfered at all with my work… Isn’t that enough to see that as a boss, how kind and accepting he was?
M: Enough to befuddle you.
K: Anyway, he was an ideal boss to me. And I still feel exactly the same about him – even though there’s a little bit of disappointment, I hope I will be able to trust Captain until the very end.
M: Kira… You…
K: Come on! I’m going to drink my fill today! And I have Rangiku-san here with me!!!
M: Of course! Today we’re going to try our hardest to drink our fill ☆
K: I do want to hear Rangiku-san’s story. Weren’t you childhood friends with Captain?
M: That’s right. Gin saved me when I was starving and couldn’t get up.
[Things Lost and Things Gained]
M: Back then he was one completely incomprehensible guy. He was the one who saved my life, and of course I was grateful. But, there was just one thing, I wish he wouldn’t play games and just say what he really thought.
K: Hiccup… that is to say. Captain, he, was a bit… Hiccup, like that.
M: My apologies~! Bring another jug of sake! Cold sake is fine, as long as it’s here fast~!
K: Huhuhu… Ichimaru-taichou… Why…
M: In the end, he still saved my life. And this time, that guy still sacrificed himself to save the whole world – what a fool.
K: Huhuhu… I wish I could see Captain again…
M: He was always leaving all of a sudden, always vanishing without warning…but now that I think about it, that was just his style. So he didn’t leave you anything either? What a willful fellow. Why couldn’t he leave just some tiny thing by our side! Just thinking about it makes me even more mad… Come, Kira!! Drink up! I haven’t poured the next cup yet!
K: Okay, okay… (Hiccup)
M: Come on… ah oops, it leaked out… Hahahaha. At least it’ll dry after a while.
K: Huhuhu… it’s completely wet…
M: Izuru, did you know? We are both here because of Gin. Both you and me. As long as you’re alive, then so is Gin. And if you want to be with Gin longer, even for just a little bit, then live just a little bit longer.
K: But Captain is no longer here…?
M: That’s why I said that he’s with us! Perhaps…this is what he left to us.
K: …Ah.
M: Hm?
K: I remembered a haiku. “Ah – wet the sleeve, tears become sake.”
M: Hey, Izuru you!
K: Ha, ha. What…?
M: Like I said, you can’t go on like this, being all melancholy and indecisive! All we can do for Gin is to be happy from the bottom of our hearts, every single day!
K: ….
M: He would never leave me anything, the things I still wanted to do for Gin -
K: …ZZZ
M: Ah… had too much? …Sorry. Manager – bill please - !!!
Aizen who rebelled at Soul Society, moved to Hueco Mundo. He holds Hogyoku which he uses to create powerful Arrancars one by one as war expansion. Aizen is closely observing the shinigamis. Grimmjow who had a great interest in Kurosaki Ichigo, for the sake of profiting from his thirst for battle and returning the dept of injuring his body he pushes his way forwards Ichigo - no matter of Aizen's command. In a war of one against one, Grimmjow releases his power against Ichigo, whose powers are increasing, in the final deciding match.
>一護は虚化、グリムジョーは帰刃。
最終戦は互いに望む状態で決した。
Ichigo is hollowficated, Grimmjow resurrectioned.
The last battle was decided in mutually desired conditions.
^^In other words, we still don't know if he's dead or alive.
Location: Slaping Mayuri Kurotsuchi around in Quincy Town :D
I wish Kubo would hurry with Grimmjow and this site has the most pages from Unmasked translated wow.
