What Happened Previously On Bleach?

In a battle-scarred scene, the powerful Yhwach awakened while the aftermath of Gremmy’s destruction unfolded. Kenpachi Zaraki searched for his missing lieutenant, Yachiru, only to find her badge and clothes discarded. As the Bambietta Sternritters attacked, Kenpachi faced a tough fight and almost lost. Suddenly, Ichigo Kurosaki arrived to save him, surprising both Kenpachi and the enemy. A clash took place, and the confrontation heightened as the Bambietta members tried to take down Ichigo.

While Candice’s Galvano blasted her electricity attacks, other Quincies showcased their own unique abilities, trying to take down Ichigo first. However, Ichigo countered their attacks with his sword easily, revealing his newly gained strength. As the Bambies combined their abilities and activated their Vollstandig forms, Ichigo’s Getsuga Jujisho overpowered Candice’s Electrocution. Unexpectedly, Bazz-B arrived, disrupting the fight, followed by NaNaNa, PePe, and Robert, making the battle tougher for Ichigo.

A blue beam pierced the sky, signaling Yhwach’s plan to invade the Soul King Palace. Mayuri explained Ichigo’s Oken-based attire could breach the barrier for 6,000 seconds, and Shunsui noted that Yhwach’s target was the Soul King. In the meantime, Renji, Byakuya, and others aided Ichigo against the Sternritters, and Ichigo headed towards Yhwach. Uryu, with Yhwach, advised Ichigo to leave while Sado and Orihime shielded Ichigo from the attack. Watching Uryu with Yhwach and Jugram, Ichigo pleaded with Uryu and asked why he stood beside them, but Uryu remained silent. Finally, the trio disappeared, leaving Ichigo distressed.
