Cover Page Poems
While I appreciate that it must have taken some considerable effort, please note that the poems from the volumes are stated on the article dedicated to each volume, such as on No Shaking Throne (under the picture of the volume's cover). We have no need of another article listing the poems. -- Yyp (Talk) 10:36, April 15, 2010 (UTC)

Description
Each volume of Bleach has a cover featuring one character and an inside page with another small image of the character, the title and number of the volume, and a poem inspired by the character. These have been translated several different ways. Posted are ViZ America's and fan translations. ViZ translations are in quotation marks.

Poems
01: The death and the strawberry (Ichigo cover)

We fear what doesn't exist.

"We fear that which we cannot see."

02: Goodbye parakeet, Good night my sista (Rukia cover)

People can possess hope because our eyes are unable to see death.

"People have hope Because they cannot see Death standing behind them."

03: Memories in the Rain (Orihime Cover)

If I were the rain could I connect with someone's heart just as it can unite the eternally separated earth and sky?

"If I were rain That joins sky and earth that otherwise never touch, could I join two hearts as well?"

04: Quincy Archer Hates you (Ishida Cover)

We attract each other like a drop of water, like planets. We repel each other like magnets, like the colors of our skin.

"We are drawn to each other Like drops of water, like the planets We repulse each other Like magnets, like the colors of our skin"

05: Right arm of the giant (Chad Cover)

If I don't wield the sword, I can't protect you.

If I keep wielding the sword, I can't embrace you.

"I can't protect you without holding a sword. I can't embrace you while holding a sword."

06: The death trilogy overture (Urahara Cover)

True, we don't have anything such as "fate." It's only those who drink in ignorance and fear and stumble over their own feet

"Yes, there is no Fate for us Only those who are swallowed by ignorance and fear and miss a step fall into the rapid river called Fate"

07: The broken Coda (Byakuya Cover)

We should not shed tears for that will serve as a defeat of our bodies to our hearts. It is then nothing more than proof for it to be said that our hearts are things beyond our ability to control.

"We should not shed tears That is a surrender of the body to the heart It is only proof That we are beings that do not know What to do with our hearts"

08: The Blade and me (Zangetsu Cover)

When rusted, I can't cut again. When you lose your grip, I will be torn apart. Yes, it's with that pride that has me resemble a blade.

"If it rusts, it can never be trusted If its owner fails to control it, it will cut him Yes, pride is Like a blade".

09: Fourteen days for conspiracy (Kuukaku cover)

Ah, even though our eyes are opened we are dreaming of flying through the sky.

"Oh, all of us dream That we are flying the skies With our eyes open."

10: Tattoo on the sky (Ganju Cover)

We reach out our hand to brush away the clouds and pierce the sky, but even if we seize the moon and Mars we still can't reach the truth.

"We reach out with our hands Brush away the clouds and pierce the sky To grab the moon and Mars But we still can't reach the truth."

11: A Star and a Stray Dog (Renji cover)

I will light a fire on an unreachable fang, so that I won't have to see that star, so that I won't let it tear at my throat.

"Light a fire to the fang that cannot be reached So that I do not have to see that star So that I do not slit this throat"

12: Flower on the precipice (Aizen Cover)

We think the flower on the precipice is beautiful because our fear make our feet stop at its edge instead of stepping forward into the sky like that flower.

"We think a flower on a cliff is beautiful because we stop our feet at the cliff's edge unable to step out into the sky like that fearless flower."

13: The Undead (Kenpachi Cover)

Any one time we throw away pride we take a step closer to becoming beasts. Any one time we kill a heart we take a step back from becoming beasts.

"Every time we set aside our pride we take a step closer to the beast Every time we kill an emotion we take a step away from the beast."

14: White Tower Rocks (Hanatarou cover)

It creaks, it creaks; the tower of cleansed sins, like the light, it will pass through this world. It shakes, it shakes; the tower in our spine, the one that will fall will be... us? Or the sky?

"Creak, creak, tower of purgatory Piercing the world like light Sway, sway, tower of spine Will it be us or the sky that falls?"

15: Beginning of the death of tomorrow (Kira cover)

I am merely practicing saying goodbye to you

"I just keep practicing Saying goodbye to you"

16: Night Of Wijnruit (Whitey Cover)

The constant shower of the sun's mane will erase the remaining footprints on the thin ice. Don't be afraid to be deceived for the world is already full of deception.

"The mane of the sun pouring down Erases the footprints on thin ice Do not fear deception The world already lies atop deception

17: Rosa Rubicundior, Lilio Candidior (Yoruichi Cover)

Red like blood White like bone Red like solitude White like silence Red like the beastly instinct White like a god's heart Red like thawing hatred White like a frozen, pained cry Red like the night's hungry shadows Like a sigh piercing the moon it shines white and shatters red

(...Too long. Virtually the same.)

18: The DeathBerry Returns (Soi Fong Cover)

Your shadow stealthily leaves nothing of where you go, like a poisoned needle that sews together my footsteps. Your light pliantly strikes the water tower, like a lightning bolt that severs the source of my life.

"Your shadow, quietly Like a vagrant poison needle, stitches my footsteps

Your radiance, lithely Like lightning striking a water tower Cuts down the source of my life."

19: The Black Moon Rising (Bankai Ichigo Cover)

That's right, nothing else can change my world.

"No, nothing can change my world."

20: End of hypnosis (Gin cover)

One who paints the beauty in love is one who pretends to not know love's form. One who paints the ugliness in love is one who understood it well.

"Those, who do not know what love is Liken it to beauty

Those, who claim to know what love is Liken it to ugliness."

Be my family or not (Shinji Cover)

This entire world exists for the sake of cornering you.

"Everything in this world Exists to wear you down."

22: CONQUISTADORES (Ulquiorra cover)

There is no meaning in our world, neither is there any meaning in us, the ones who live in it.It is then meaningless for us, who are equally meaningless, to conceive the world in our thoughts despite knowing there is no meaning to be found.

"There is no meaning to our world There is no meaning to those of us living there. We meaningless beings ponder the world Thought the realization of meaninglessness itself means nothing."

23: MALA SUERTE! (Ikkaku Cover)

We are the fish before the waterfall We are the insects inside the cage We are the wreckage of the angry sea The skull upon the staff The torrent of power, all of which the whale swallows We are the bull with five horns We are the monster that breathes fire The child who screams Ah, we are being poisoned by the moonlight

"We are the fish in front of the waterfall. We are the insects inside the cage.

We are the ruins of the billows, the skull on the crosier, The force of the torrent and the whale that drinks it.

We are the five-horned bull. We are the fire-breathing monster. And the screaming children. Oh, we are poisoned by the moonlight."

24: Immanent God Blues (Grimmjow Cover)

Doesn't matter who it is I'll ****in' break 'em

"Break down, every single one of you." }}
