One Piece (Dub) Episode 244
On June 8, 2004, 4Kids Entertainment acquired the license for distribution of One Piece in North America;[4] 4Kids contracted Viz Media to handle home video distribution. 4Kids' in-house musicians wrote a new background score and theme song nicknamed "Pirate Rap". 4Kids' dub mandated edits for content and length, which reduced the first 143 episodes into 104.[5] Initially, 4Kids originally created an English version of the first opening theme, "We Are!" by Russell Velazquez.[6] It premiered in the United States on September 18, 2004 on the Fox network as part of the weekend programming block FoxBox TV, and later aired on Cartoon Network on their Saturday night action programming block, Toonami in April 2005. It also aired in other blocks and line-ups, such as its Monday-Thursday night prime-time line-up and its Miguzi weekday after-school action block in 2006. Production was halted in 2006 after episode 143/104;[7][8] Viz also ceased its home video release of the series after volume 11. On July 22, 2010, an interview with Anime News Network and Mark Kirk, senior vice-president of digital media for 4Kids Entertainment, revealed that 4Kids acquired One Piece as part of a package deal with other anime, and that the company did not screen the series before licensing it. However, once 4Kids realized One Piece was not appropriate for their intended demographic, the company decided to edit it into a more child-oriented series until they had an opportunity to legally drop the license. Kirk said the experience of producing One Piece "ruined the company's reputation". Since then, 4Kids established a stricter set of guidelines, checks, and balances to determine which anime the company acquires.[9]

When Renji asks her what happened to Ichigo, Rukia states Ichigo appears to have been blown away like the rest of them. Elsewhere, Ichigo stands in a clearing surrounded by rubble. Noticing something, Ichigo turns to see Senbonzakura standing behind him. Saying they cannot allow any more Shinigami to stand in Byakuya's way, Senbonzakura raises his blade as Ichigo states none of the Zanpakutō Spirits know when to give up. Facing each other, Ichigo and Senbonzakura leap toward each other. Meanwhile, pieces of rubble are sent flying away as Tenken stands up.
As Tenken cracks his neck, Gonryōmaru draws his attention to the ground, where Gonryōmaru lies trapped underneath a piece of rubble. Saying he is embarrassed to say he cannot get up, Gonryōmaru asks Tenken to lend him a hand, prompting Tenken to break the piece of rubble in two by punching it. Standing up, Gonryōmaru tells Tenken to be more careful, for he almost crushed Gonryōmaru. Standing on the roof of a ruined building nearby, Suì-Fēng states Kenpachi made a mess by scattering his Reiatsu everywhere and wonders when he will learn to fight in a more subtle manner.
