Bleach 384 - Can't Fear Your Own Sword

遂に自ら動きだした藍染…！！一方、東仙が明かす力の正体とは果たして…！？
At last Aizen himself makes his move...! On the other hand, is Tousen's really revealing his true power?
狛『東仙…　まさか貴様…！』
Komamura: "Tousen...you can't be...!"
檜佐木びっくり　東仙左手を顔に～～～
Hisagi is surprised as Tousen places his left hand on his face...
狛『…　東仙…！！　そこまで堕ちたか！！東仙！！！！』
Komamura: "...Tousen...! Have you fallen that far? Tousen!!!"
檜『…　…隊長…！！』
Hisagi: "...Captain!!"

白き絶望…！！
White despair...!!
BLEACH　384　Can't Fear Your Own Sword

東仙、空中に仁王立ち
Tousen is in the air with an imposing stance.
檜『ホロウ化…　それはホロウ化ですか東仙隊長…！！』
Hisagi: "Hollowification...Is that hollowification, Captain Tousen...!!"
東『そうだ』
Tousen: "Correct."
檜『…どうして…』
Hisagi: "...Why?"
無言で東仙、檜佐木を切る
Without a word, Tousen cuts down Hisagi.
檜『え…』 ]
Hisagi: "Eh.."
狛『檜佐木！！』
Komamura: "Hisagi!!"

狛『天ケン！！！』東仙に切りかかる
Koma: "Tenken!!!" He swings at Tousen.
東仙、止める
Tousen stops it.
狛『何！！！』
Koma: "What!?"
東仙、狛村左脇に蹴り
Tousen kicks Koma on the left side.
狛（何だ…この……　この力は…）
Koma: (What the...this...this power...)
狛村落ちていく
Koma falls.

東『…おかしなものだな…
Tousen: "...It's strange, you know...
お前達が仲間とする　あの半死神の少年も　同じホロウ化の能力を持っている筈だ
That half shinigami boy is your comrade and has the same type of hollowfication abilities.
私がその力を手にする事が　それほど蔑まなければならない事か？』
Why do you have to despise it to that degree what I possess it?"
ボロボロ狛『彼は…　黒崎一護は望んでホロウ化した訳ではない…
Injured Koma: "Kurosaki Ichigo did not desire hollowfication...
だが貴公は違う…　貴公は死神として充分な実力を持ちながら自らその道を踏み外したのだ…！！
But you are different...As a shinigimi you possess enough true power of your own yet you strayed to this path...!!"
貴公のそれは　堕落だ　東仙…！！』
You're degrading yourself, Tousen...!!"
東『堕落だと？
Tousen: "Degrading?
死神からホロウに近づく事が何故堕落だ？　それは死神とホロウを正邪で分ける矮小な二元論から出る言葉だ』
Why is a shinigami moving closer to a hollow degrading? That comes from a diminutive sense of dualism that divides shinigami and hollow into right and wrong."
狛『違う！　仲間を裏切り友を裏切り部下を裏切ってまでも　過ぎた力を手にしようとする事が
堕落だと言っているのだ！！』
Koma: "That's not it! I'm saying that it's degrading to seem excessive power and betray your comrades, friends, and subordinates!!"
東『…狛村…』
Tousen: "...Komamura..."

東『！！』
Tousen: "!!"
東仙の首に、死風の鎖がまかれる
Tousen's neck gets wrapped by the chain of Kazeshini (Hisagi's shikai)
檜佐木、東仙を押し倒し首を押える
Hisagi pushes Tousen down and holds him down by the neck.
東『…踏み込みが浅かったか　…私も甘いな』
Tousen: "...Was it a superficial hit? I'm too lenient."
檜『…いえ　俺が反射的に半歩かわしたんです
Hisago: "...No. I reflexively half parried it.
剣を抜いて立つ時は常に半歩かわせるように構える―…
When I'm standing with my sword is out I'm always prepared to be able to half parry...
東仙隊長　あなたの教えです』
You taught me that, Captain Tousen."
檜佐木の回想
Hisagi has a flashback.
東『…どうした　檜佐木
Tousen: "...What's the matter, Hisagi?"
こんな所に呼び出して…　私に話とは一体何だ？』
Why did you summon me to place like this...What on earth do you have to say to me?"
檜『…東仙隊長…　俺を…　席官の座から外して下さい…！』
Hisagi: "...Captain Tousen...Please remove me from my seat...!"
東『…何かと思えば…　昨日の演習のミスなら気にするな
最初は誰でもあんなものだ』
Tousen: "...If you're thinking of that, don't worry about your mistakes from yesterday's practice. At the beginning everyone's that way."
檜『違うんです！！　あの時俺が出遅れたのはミスでも不注意でもない…
Hisagi: "That's not it!! I was late not because of a mistake, or because of carelessness...
俺は…　怖かったんです…！
I was...afraid...!
俺は昔演習で現世に行って　そこで右目に傷を負いました…
A long time ago in practice I went to the real world and received an injury to my right eye.
ダメなんです…　それ以来…　刀を抜く度　敵に対う度
必ず気持が半歩さがってしまう…！
It's no use...Ever since...when I take out my sword, when I face the enemy, I'm only half hearted...!
東仙隊長　俺…　　俺は戦いが怖い…！！』
Captain Tousen...I...I'm afraid of battle..!!"

檜『あの時　あなたはこう言った
”だから君は席官でいるべきなのだ”　』
Hisagi: "At that time, this is what you said: That's why you should have a seat."

回想
Flashback.
東『戦士にとって最も大切なものは力ではない
Tousen: "To a soldier the most important thing isn't strength.
戦いを怖れる心だ　　戦いを怖れるからこそ　同じく戦いを怖れる者達の為に
It is a heart which fears battle. It's precisely because of your fear of battle, that
剣を握って戦える　　自分の握る剣にすら怯えぬ者に剣を握る資格はない
you can brandish your sword for others who similarly fear battlel. One who isn't afraid of wielding his own sword isn't qualified to hold it.
檜佐木　お前が本当に心から戦いを怖れているのなら』
Hisagi, if you are truly afraid of battle from the bottom of your heart."

檜『お前は既に戦士として　かけがえの無いものを手にしているのだ…！
Hisagi: "As one who is already a soldier, you have possess something that can't be replaced.
…俺は…　俺には解りません東仙隊長…　あの言葉を言ったあなたが…
...I...I don't understand, Captain Tousen...How someone who said those words..
何故力の為に全てを捨てたんですか…！　今のあなたは…
could throw it all away...! Look at you now...
一体何を怖れていると言うんですか！！』
What in the world are you afraid of?"

東仙、無言で檜佐木刺す。
Without a word, Tousen skewers Hisagi.
檜『…東…せん…　隊長……』
Hisagi:" ...Captain...Tou...sen..."
檜佐木　ビル上から落ちていく
Hisagi falls from the top of a building.
東『…怖れているあ　私の恐怖は百年前から　お前達死神と同化して死ぬことだ』
Tousen: "...Afraid? For the last 100 years I've been afraid of assimilating with you shinigami and dying."

狛『…卍解
黒縄天ゲン明王』
Komamura: "...Bankai...Kokujō Tengen Myō'ō."

仁義…ッ！！
Humanity and justice..!!

終わり。サーセイ★
The end.
