[v25]IchiRuki FC: The Story of Destiny Begins

[Micnshing]

Arigato Guisamazu! Sketchy!! You're the best!

Wow, Ichiruki is really unstoppable!

So, yeah, there's a lot of things I wanted to say but... considering its 3AM here, I'll pass for now... just want to ask one thing... since my brain's not working properly at this time, I wanted to know.. what the unchangeable "word" in Ichi's song? The song is so poetic, my head can't seem to follow..

Anyway, since I'm too weak to type let the smilies express my happiness:

That's all!

[pogo2468]

As if this movie isn't shippy enough, we get an Ichiruki love song! Wow, I love those lyrics! Haha, even the Ichigo and Rukia songs are essentially about Ichiruki. Why was anyone doubting this ship, again?

And people honestly think these two have a sibling/family bond . Come on! Okay, I have a brother, who's only two years younger than me. We are actually very close. BUT, if he were to ever spout some of the stuff that Ichigo is saying to Rukia to me, . I mean, they are singing are love song to each other! Haha, I care about my brother, but not THAT much. Oh wait! But it's not love love, it's just family love! That must be it. This is a song of a brother and sister singing to eachother!!

Oh, and thanks again sketch (you've probably heard this a million times)

Ah, and finally, 58 guests? Haha, you guys can join. We don't bite

[07Janina07]

What is this duet I am reading? What is this "well become one"? My eyes must be cheated by some spell?

Everybody is so horny making allusions as to Ichiruki "becoming one" I am so amaze at the lenght everybody is going to not try and name the relationship Ichiruki have, cause you know is super, uber secret and we can't read the eyeballsex, the awesome suokyoku scene, the are we or are we not nakama scene!



Kubo! We know your secret! You are a writing a shoujo disguise as a shounen.

[Syn]

So much to fangirl about, and I'm so tired

Ok, so real quick Forgive me

Even if everything becomes my enemy, in order to protect Rukia I will fight.
High school student Kurosaki Ichigo and shinigami Kuchiki Rukia---TV Anime [BLEACH] started with the meeting of these two. This serie that has been going more than 4 years, really, even if we said it's a track Ichigo and Rukia are walking on together, it's fine isn't it? Soon the new movie is going to be released. It's becoming a story that is returning back to the beginning.

Haha it's only beginning, yet it's already so shippy I mean, Ichigo fighting anyone just for Rukia? :3 Bleach is a track where Ichigo and Rukia are walking on?
Looks like we have Bleach's core once again thrown repeatidly at our heads. Let's not forget though. This is not romance

Ichigo has been overcoming many ordeals, but everything is because of the existence of Rukia. For Ichigo, he no longer could think about a life without his meeting with Rukia. But this time, even from that Ichigo's memories, the said woman's memories is one-sidedly disappearing.

Yes, everything is because of Rukia :3 Why, thank you to say it again, when some people said she was just like any other friend for Ichigo

The truth about Rukia's existence is disappearing, fading into white. ---fear and impatience are stimulating Ichigo.

Fear? Impatience? I remember the Ichigo from SS. He was definitely will-driven, scared that she'd die, wanting to save her at all cost, impatient to save her even... is it the same, is it?

Swearing on Rukia's existence, what is the future of Ichigo's battle that turns everything into enemy? The two's bond that is intertwining, a deeply moving story, please make sure about it in the theater.

Ichigo swears to save her again? And how is their bond deepening, a deeply moving story....? Please, do you have any idea of how long we have to wait before seeing it here?

Kurosaki Ichigo
Feeling disturbed because this time Rukia is missing. While avoiding shinigami's chase, believing in his bond with Rukia, he's running all over Seireitei.

Yes, Ichigo cannot be whole without Rukia Believing in his bond with her... indeed, Ichigo, indeed. You'd never dare to doubt her, not in that way

What is Rukia to Ichigo?
Rukia, the one who gave him shinigami power and later living inside his room. She also transferred to the same highschool as Ichigo. She was asked, "Kuchiki-san, do you love Kurosaki-kun?" once before by her classmates. What is exactly the relationship between these two? Maybe they themselves don't even understand......

Ok guys, I thought Kubo said: "no romance plz!!!" You're giving out his plot you know... I mean, if there was nothing going on between Ichigo and Rukia, then there wouldn't be even the need of such reminder... and what is this feeling they don't understand?

Abarai Renji
Rukia's childhood friend. To him, her existence is supposed to be one that is dazzling. Will he really forget about someone like her?

Amusing, because that's what I already pointed out Even Renji, who loves Rukia with romanticchu feelings, forgets her. Then, what is Rukia to Ichigo, so important that he cannot bear the mere idea of forgetting her?

Second * Ichigo vs Gotei 13

Ichigo is being accused as the one who did the destruction of Seireitei. He tried to persuade them but Shuuhei, Renji, Komamura, Byakuya, Ikkaku, Hitsugaya but any answers are useless. While accepting their challenge, Ichigo desperately running around Soul Society, searching for Rukia. Believing that only Rukia, she must be the only one who remembers him.

I really feel sorry for Ichigo there
Because, while the others forgetting him was surprising, he believed that Rukia WOULD remember him, no matter what. She's just that carved in his heart ... But then, he realized that she forgot her and that's when he's crushed

Third * Completely changed Rukia

In the middle of chaos in Seireitei, Ichigo is searching for Rukia's reiatsu. Barely alive, he finally reach Rukia's place, only the one he's facing is the completely changed Rukia. She's not wearing shihakushou but a white clothings instead. With a scythe in her hands, she attacked Ichigo mercilessly. Will she remember Ichigo? And will Ichigo be able to bring Rukia back? What their fate will become?

Because in the end, that's what's everyone wants to see What will their fate become

Now onto Orisaka aka Oririn or Fumiko's interview

In this year’s movie we are able to see a different Rukia?

Usually Rukia is supporting Ichigo while standing one step behind him, and even if they were separated Rukia and Ichigo always aimed for the same goal. But because in this year’s movie, because Rukia lost her memory (and her heart) she was not looking at the same direction as Ichigo. They were both separated.

I just love what she says so much Yes, this is IchiRUki: even separated, they walk on the same path, they go forward, reaching the same goal, and Rukia is always supporting Ichigo
And losing her memories and her heart make Rukia look in another way (reminds me that sticker from the movie guide) and that's what truly separates them. I guess that's why it's so hard for Ichigo, who needs his Rukia beside him

It felt like they were always running in the same direction together

They do not cling onto each other but I think they are something like a mutual companion where they care deeply for each other. This year’s movie “BLEACH”, I think it is a work where it is made after many piles of work. In the beginning Ichigo and Rukia met each other and because they both walked a lot of histories it was able to be connected to here.

Yes, exactly why I love IchiRuki! They do not cling onto each other, yet they need to know that the other is safe. And because they lived through so much history, because their relationship has been deepening and deepening, this is why such movie could be created

What is the highlight to this year’s movie?

The part where Rukia turns into dark Rukia and battles Ichigo. For the fans I believe it is a very thrilling event. It was the first time where Rukia and Ichigo turned their blades on each other. And also the bit where Rukia’s feminine side is shown, where as before, it was not portrayed too much. The mother like feeling she had towards the sibling is also another highlight for the movie.

Lol, yeah right. The fans. It's not like Kubo didn't want to see it, right?

What do you think the theme for this year’s movie is?

It has to be “bond”. The bond that was made in the past is growing into a feeling. I believe the unseen feeling between Rukia and Ichigo is drawn in this work. I’m sure if you support Bleach you would already know the bond between these two and in this year’s movie their bond is portrayed very strongly.

Ahhhhh~~ Thye bond that is growing into a feeling - yes, I think Fumiko-san is quite bold here, isn't she? Unseen feeling, this kind of thing, yes, that is why we all love IchiRuki, right? Even when they're on your face, their is always those subtil moments, those subtils interactions and thoughts flying between them~~

Ah, thank you, sketch and Mel, for those wonderful translations And, as my post is becoming quite long already, I'll comment on the BBC later. But I'm already fangirling a lot

[debbiechan]

I always think things can't get any shippier and they do!



SONY ADVERTISING THE ICHIRUKI DUET AS "A LOVE SONG?"

The songwriter has Ichigo singing "We'll be one." Morita calls Ichigo "romantic" and says that Ichigo and Rukia don't even know themselves what they are to one another yet. Interviewers continue to ask questions about WHAT IS RUKIA TO ICHIGO?

*bats through hearts and flowers*

Seems no one got the memo that Kubo-sensei apparently never intends to make Ichigo and Rukia a romantic couple?

WHY? Because he never said that.

But I can understand people from an overturned vessel clinging to whatever they can grab as the IchiRuki LOVE FLOOD rolls over them this December. At first I was all frustrated with the logical fallacies and little boy who broke your window with a baseball and is trying to get out of it spin that detractors put on our IchiRuki goodies. "Kubo isn't really involved in the movie, Morita is playing to an audience, people squee too loudly in the movie thread--oh look! A SQUIRREL!" Anything to divert attention from the fact that IchiRuki madness had taken over Japan.

Now I kinda feel sorry for anyone who isn't on board.

Some of them are saying crazy stuff. Seriously, Kubo-sensei laughing to mock people who think Ichigo and Rukia are a romantic couple? What do these people know of Kubo? How can they say that of him? That's so insulting. He's not rude and horrible like that. He loves IchiRuki. This is the man who called Rukia Ichigo's "ray of light" and giggled when asked if he had plans to make them a couple. He laughed again in the interview because the topic is exciting. It's the whole "will they or won't they?" and he's loving every minute of the speculation and fan angst over what will become of the IchiRuki relationship.

Mocking his audience indeed.

Okay, now I don't feel sorry for them anymore because they misread Shishou.
I can take them misreading the manga. But there's only like four of them and we're the rest of the Bleach world so I will celebrate!

LOVE SONG! LOVE SONG! LOVE SONG!

ICHIGO SANG "WE'LL BE ONE!"

[Asagi-IchiRuki<]

Arigato Guisamazu! Sketchy!! You're the best!

Wow, Ichiruki is really unstoppable!

So, yeah, there's a lot of things I wanted to say but... considering its 3AM here, I'll pass for now... just want to ask one thing... since my brain's not working properly at this time, I wanted to know.. what the unchangeable "word" in Ichi's song? The song is so poetic, my head can't seem to follow..

Anyway, since I'm too weak to type let the smilies express my happiness:

That's all!

The "unchangeable word" is Rukia's name isn't it? Well that's wat I got from it, it sounds like it's for FTB actually, "as long as I can remember'" and such, so it'd make sense to say that it's her name, not only that but I think that it also makes sense because everything can change, feelings, actions, everything, but Rukia never will, she will ALWAYS be the same person to him, she's unchangeable, absolutely

[BleachOD]

.

Some of them are saying crazy stuff. Seriously, Kubo-sensei laughing to mock people who think Ichigo and Rukia are a romantic couple?

Indeed! Are they forgetting when asked about the triangle of IchiRuki and Ori?

His answer was much the same. He dismissed romance totally. If his interviews sinks ships then theirs was hit too...

Like I said before if IchiRuki doesn't have chance no one does.

There is a song and cheesy lines..How shippy can a non-romance get?

[Miss Lolita]

You guys suck, making me read 20 pages (no kidding, all the way from 21 to 41 ).


BUT IT'S ALL FOR TEH FANDOMZ!!!!!!

I am really looking forward to the duet! This computer doesn't have any sound - I'm way sad that I can't hear Morita's new and improved voice! Can anyone tell me how it's changed? Like is it as good as everyone says it is? (well, I guess that's kind of redundant because I trust everyone's opinion here anyways, but it can't hurt to be sure!)

And all this new stuff is making me dizzy. Like drunkish!dizzy. Maybe I should go lie down, lol. I can't process this much IchiRukiness all at once.

Major thanks to this FC in general! Without you guys, I seriously would go nuts. Honestly and truly. I wish I could rep you all, but apparently I've given some of you too much love. stupid rep nazi

[Kylara]

Thank you, Sketchbaka, for translating these lyrics. Seriously, I can't believe the amount of translation you and Melodymix do for this community. We'd be a lot less with you.

As for the lyrics, I nearly had a heart attack reading them. It's ridiculous how great they are.

What I wanted to say was, wow, not only is it true that Ichigo's song is a reply to Rukia's, I wanted to say that it looks like Rukia's song is a parallel to ED 16. I unfortunately couldn't find the lyrics -__-; (I know they're somewhere in the FC) so I just went back to youtube and typed up what I could see. Pathetic google skills, I have.

But mainly the two parts I see are these at the end of the ED:

"Lift your head back up, watch the sun rise, and start chasing your dream.
Don’t you feel my voice echoing beside you?
If you do hear me, if my voice carries, answer with your feet.
Even if you trip and get spun around, keep running down that endless road."

We've all seen that ending, so we all know that is Ichigo's voice echoing to Rukia

And in Rukia's song, as done by Sketchbaka and chopped up by me,

It's echoing, a voice that could see through anything.
The sinking scenery, is wiped by this sleeve.
Following the voice, I start walking.

It's like the writers of these songs are trying to connect Ichigo and Rukia! Would you look at that. How unusual! There are actually quite a few more similarities - Ichigo's song of course being the reply to Rukia's, after all, but he also says:

When the sun is climbing over everything, I will start walking again.

There's a nice theme of sunrise in Gallop, Unchangable Word, and Glow. What kind of glow the original Japanese word means, I'm not really sure, but I'm having a lot of fun here. It's making me want to write songfic, and I haven't written fanfic since I was spazzing over Inuyasha in 2002.

Also, was anyone else reminded of the volume 19 cover with the poem, "That's right. Nothing else can change my world." That is, I believe, the epic volume where he defeats Byakuya and keeps Rukia safe. I wonder what it is about her that is so resolute and strong within Ichigo, hm?

The last thing I wanted to say was about Sony:

Title: Glow
Singer: Kurosaki Ichigo & Kuchiki Rukia
Explanatory Note: Ichigo and Rukia's duet, they're singing an original love song in R&B style.

Hee... Love song...

My roommates are watching Bleach for the first time - mostly out of self-defense because I wouldn't stop talking about it - and while it's still early on (we're about to watch Zaraki vs Ichigo), the two of them are utterly confused as to why there's wank. They're actually not all that interested in Ichigo and Rukia because while they like both character, to these new watchers of Bleach, they think it's so clear that they'll get together that it doesn't hold as much suspense for them. ( Actually, my roommates were MUCH more interested in this: "When can we see more of Ishida and Orihime? They're so cute together. Do they become a couple?")

Most people who see Bleach or pass by bits and pieces of its media (or see hear these lovely, beautiful songs) just ... see it like it is. Including the Sony employee or whoever that wrote this description. YES, LOVE SONG. How could you listen to this and think otherwise?

- Kylara

[mezzo_marinaio]

Those LOVE SONGS are simply GREAT, sketchy - and I am in a sea of despair because I can't listen to the preview of Glow!

Anyway, here are a couple more random translations!

http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=4tMeQW...e=channel_page

Writing under the CM playing (from 0:57 to 1:15): "And then, a deeply-moved voice, voice, voice!"

Opinions among the public - from 1:21 to 1:53:

技がいっぱい出てスッキリしました。

There were many techniques, it was cool.

いつものBLEACHじゃなくてなんか新しく変わったようなBLEACHを観られて面白かった です。

It wasn't the usual Bleach... it was like seeing a new, changed Bleach. It was very interesting.

Lol, poor little boy... he looks so shell-shocked! I bet you were surprised, you expected a shonen and were given a shojo!

ルキアの意外な過去とかが分かってルキアのイメージとかがすごく変わりました。

Knowing things like Rukia's surprising past... my image of Rukia changed greatly.

一護とルキアの絆を改めて取り上がれるとすごい, やっぱ彼らの絆は深いなと思ってすごいかっこ良かったです。

The fact that Ichigo and Rukia's bond was featured once again was great. Like I thought, their bond is really deep - it was absolutely great.

人と人の絆は強いんだなってと思いました。

I thought both the people and the bonds between them turned out strong.

http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=0q-uT3...e=channel_page

The hosts are Akimoto Rena and Aiuchi Yuka.

At the beginning they talk a little about the movie plot that was leaked to the general public... things like "ZOMG Ichigo will fight against the Gotei 13 ", "ZOMG is that Renji down there in the poster!? ", "I can't believe it! ", and so on.

Then they talk a little about their favourite characters (Gin for Rena and Renji for Yuka). Since Gin is not in the movie, Rena eventually settles on Byakuya as the coolest, and Yuka agrees. Nii-sama, you're so loved lately!

After that, they watch a couple of the CMs - and one of them is the Byakuya one. Rena had forgotten all about Hisana, so Yuka was about to remind her - but then she suddenly remembered. Yuka kept explaining anyway.

Finally, they present some new Bleach merchandise, among which there are two adorable keychains with a death butterfly engraved upon them - if you put them together, they complete each other! Both Rena and Yuka comment that it's a thing for couples. Ah ehm... is it just me, or are the drawings on the flip side of the keychains ICHIGO and RUKIA? First the SasuNaru keychains, and now this? I luff you, Japan.

http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=J9jg68...e=channel_page

The hosts are still Akimoto Rena and Aiuchi Yuka.

They talk some more about the leaked 'spoilers', and comment that Rukia-chan's memories will disappear too.

Then there is a long CM where the narrator basically repeats what we already know of the plot.

After that, Yuka comments that this time, Kubo Taito-sensei has supervised the movie from the very beginning.

Rena: "But... it's unheard-of/unprecedented!"
Yuka: "It is very rare, isn't it?"

Then, Renji's CM.

Renji has flashbacks about Rukia.
Rena: "Aw, that's somehow sad..."
Renji reflects on how he can't remember her.
Yuka: "Renji has forgotten Rukia too."
Rena: "Eeeh? Really?"
Renji says he'll trust Ichigo, because his soul tells him they're not enemies.
Rena/Yuka: "Coooool!"

Cue a short discussion on how cool Renji is.
