KANJI 

絡み合う歳月の波紋を光る
刃に乗せて　浮世の罪を洗い流す　
甘い絶望が　苦い記憶を　
消し去る前に　この手をかける　

覚えておくがいい　選ばれし死神の姿を　
護廷十三隊　我らの眼差しは　揺れない

「六番隊隊長、朽木百夜」
行く手を阻む者と戦う　高潔なその理性
掟の為　秩序護るため　冷徹を身に纏う
「我らが掟を護らずして、誰が掟を護るというのだ」

「八番隊隊長、享楽春水」
夢現柔らかな　日差し浴びて　
擦れ擦れに酒と戯れても
真実を見通す　麗しき覚醒
只じゃ済まない伊達男
「呑もう、仲良く」

「十番隊隊長、日番谷俊郎」
凍てつく激情　滾る眼差し
誰にも止められない　
構える刃　切っ先に迷い無し　
銀髪の天才児
「あいつが来る前に、俺がテメーを殺す」

「十三番隊対象、浮竹銃白」
振り上げた刃は　切り裂く為じゃなく　
正義を貫く為　
心優しくあるためにあるのだろう　
その気迫を誰もが好きになる
「命を護る為の戦いと、誇りを護る為の戦いと」

「十三番隊、朽木ルキア」
月明かりが照らす横顔に　
明日を見据える真っすぐな瞳　
前に進む者だけに与えられる強き心
「貴様が、死神になるのだ」

砕かれた魂の波紋を光る　
刃に乗せて　浮世の罪を洗い流す　
何より尊い儀式のように　
心騒がずこの手をかける　

覚えておくがいい　選ばれし死神の姿を　
護廷十三隊　戦いの真髄は　ひとつ

TRANSLATION 

Our blade that illuminates the ripples of intertwined days,
we'll take it up to wash away the sins of this world.
To erase all sweet despair and bitter memories, we will unsheathe our sword.

You would be smart to remember the chosen shinigami.
We are the 13 Court squads, we won't hesitate.

"Captain of the 6th division, Kuchiki Byakuya."
In line with his noble reason, he'll fight anyone who gets in his way.
To protect the laws and order he'll clad himself in serenity.
"If we won't protect the law, who will?" 

"Captain of the 8th division, Kyouraku Shunshui."
Even though he usually bathes in the sunlight half awake,   
Or flirts with sake close at hand,
He can still see into the truth and conduct a beautiful purge.
He's a dandy who won't let you get off for nothing.
"Let's have a drink, like friends."

"Captain of the 10th division, Hitsugaya Toushiro."
He has freezing passion and a burning look.
No one can stop him.
With his blade at the ready, he won't hesitate to strike.
He's the silver-haired child genius.
"I'll kill you, before she gets here."  

"Captain of the 13th division, Ukitake Juushiro."
The purpose of the blade he raised overhead isn't to strike.
It's to deliver justice.
His kindness exists for a reason.
Everyone will eventually come to like his spirit.
"Is this a fight to protect a life, or a fight to protect honor?"

"13th division, Kuchiki Rukia." 
With her face in profile illuminated by the moonlight,
And her eyes fixed on the future.
A mighty heart that's bestowed only to those who move forward.
"You'll become a shinigami." 

Our blade that illuminates the ripples of shattered souls,
we'll take it up to wash away the sins of this world.
Like a ritual that's more sacred than anything,
Without fear, we will unsheathe our sword.

You would be smart to remember the chosen shinigami.
We are the 13 Court squads, we all fight for the same cause.
