FOLLOWING the explosive, black ink-blotted finale to Bleach: Thousand Year Blood War’s (TYBW) second cour (season) in 2023, the anime’s latest instalment continues the escalation of events. Principally, the main villain of the series, Yhwach reversing Ichibe Hyosube’s killing blow and the former’s Schutzstaffel cohorts overwhelm the remaining Squad Zero members.

The final stage for this season and the undated final season is now set, with Yhwach breaching the Soul Palace and turning it into Wahrwelt, a new stronghold from which he would recreate all three worlds with him as a god.
