Following a savage ambush launched by Quincy King Yhwach, the remaining Soul Reapers of the Society tend to their wounds and grieve for those lost. Numerous surviving captains are forced to hone their skills without the use of Bankai, the pinnacle move that defines the strongest fighters.
During the earlier onslaught, Ichigo Kurosaki barely managed to repel Yhwach"s terrifying assault. Yet, in order to finally vanquish his divine foe and rescue his comrades, Ichigo must now embark on grueling training that will test him beyond physical, emotional, and mental boundaries.
Even though Yhwach currently dominates this relentless war, he has also secured Uryuu Ishida—Ichigo"s close ally and competitor—as his chosen heir. Yhwach once more attacks the feeble Soul Society, determined to eradicate its long‑time adversaries. While Ichigo battles to gain new strength, the captains struggle for their survival and cling to fleeting hope.
