Story transcript

Ichigo: I couldn't save you. I’m sorry Orihime.

Yasutora “Chad” Sado: Orihime…

Renji: W-What just happened?

Rukia: Orihime, she just sacrificed her soul.

Rukia: She tried to put an end on Yhwach.

Ichigo: Orihime gave everything she had. She tried so hard to keep us together.

Yasutora “Chad” Sado: Ichigo

Renji: But this means the world’s been saved, doesn’t it?

Ichigo: … no, not yet

Renji: huh?

Rukia: Ichigo? Ichigo where are you going?

Ichigo: to put an end of this, once and for all.

Rukia: …no, he wouldn’t.

Renji: What the… Rukia? Where are you going?

Rukia: Ichigo, wait!

Rukia: Ichigo, tell me you’re not…!

Ichigo: I am sorry.

Rukia: Ichigo please, do you know what it means if you do this?

Ichigo: I do, but what choice do I have.

Ichigo: the three worlds need a Soul King to keep them in balance. so… it has to be me.

Ichigo: besides… what kind of future can I have… without her.

Ichigo: Goodbye… my friends. and Goodbye… Orihime

Yasutora “Chad” Sado: Ichigo!

Renji: don’t do this!

Rukia: ICHIGO!

Yasutora “Chad” Sado: It’s exactly what Yuha-baha said.

Yhwach: Did it ever occur to why Ichibe’e Hyōsube perpared you for your battle with me, Ichigo?

Yhwach: you saw it, didn’t you? the Soul King’s memories? all that information from eons integrated in your head which no normal soul could bear.

Yhwach: but you’re not any normal soul, born of soul reaper, Quincy, hollow, fullbringer and human.

Yhwach: what more a better candidate to succeed the Soul King, am I right?

Renji: That damn priest, he planned it all!

Rukia: Y-You fool…

Renji: I am sorry, Rukia. he knows it needed to be done. I hate it and that damn priest who lead him to this.

Yasutora “Chad” Sado: This… this is it… Ichigo is gone

Rukia: but we will never forget him, his sacrifice will be remembered. I… I don’t know how to break this to his family.

Yasutora “Chad” Sado: I know, his sisters will be distraught, no doubt his father will be also.

Renji: Come, let’s go. Soul Society might celebrate, but I’ll only raise a toast to Ichigo’s memory.

Ichibe’e Hyōsube: The worlds endured, and all thanks to you. Your majesty.

Ichibe’e Hyōsube: I am sorry for what I did, but I’m sure you understand.

Ichibe’e Hyōsube: do not worry, peace will endure for your friends and they’ll live happy lives and remember you.

Ichibe’e Hyōsube: It’s the least I can offer to them for their heroism.

Ichibe’e Hyōsube: now rest, you have eternity to maintain the three worlds’ existence.

Yhwach: Interesting, of all the possibilities, I never would expect this outcome. the girl is stronger than I anticipated.

Yhwach: but don’t worry, Ichigo. For that isn’t your future, not when you don’t have this woman in your life.

Yhwach: I’ll let you reign for eternity as their new Soul King, before I erase that event by undoing her noble sacrifice.
