Nimaiya tells Renji, that he created every single Zanpakutō for the last several thousand years, including Zaraki's, which he actually stole off of a Soul Reaper's dead body, adding that Ichigo's was not an Asauchi made by him, therefore his training would have never worked. Ichigo visits the shop, where Ikumi Unagiya comforts him, before Isshin Kurosaki arrives in his Soul Reaper attire to take Ichigo away, though Ichigo unknowingly leaves his badge behind. Isshin tells Ichigo about the history of their family, while to Ichigo that his mother was a Quincy. Nearly twenty years ago, when Isshin Shiba was still captain of Division 10, a series of mysterious Soul Reaper deaths began occurring in Naraki City. Isshin went out to investigate the cause, which turned out to be an immensely powerful and intelligent Hollow, clad in black armor and made from the mixture of several dead Soul Reapers' souls, which is where it gets its name "White". Elsewhere, Masaki Kurosaki, an Echt Quincy noble who was taken in by Sōken Ishida's family after the demise of her own, sensed the Spiritual Pressure released by the Hollow and Isshin, and headed off to help, despite Ryūken and the lower ranked Gemischt Quincy family maid Kanae Katagiri attempting to dissuade her. While fighting the Hollow, Isshin attempted to use his Bankai, but was slashed in the back by the creators of this Hollow, Aizen, Gin Ichimaru and Kaname Tōsen. Masaki arrived and saved Isshin, while Aizen stopped Tōsen from killing her, due to finding her intriguing. Masaki used herself as bait to draw the Hollow close and kill it in one blow, initiating its self destruction which Isshin shielded Masaki from. Masaki healed Isshin's wounds, while also revealing herself to be a Quincy. Initially fearing his reaction, she rejoiced, when Isshin gladly declared, that he was happy to have met a living Quincy. Ryūken and Kanae, seeing that she found safety, decided to leave her be and headed off together. Back in the present day, Jugram meets Uryū.

Continuing his story to Ichigo, Isshin reported back to Yamamoto about his successful mission, but left out Masaki from his report. Feeling drawn to her, he returned to the Human World on patrol. Since the attack of the White Hollow, Masaki has started to feel dazed and pulled down into the darkness by the hollow soul which merged with her. As she was berated by Ryūken's mother for helping a Soul Reaper, she collapsed and a hollow hole appeared on her chest. Ryūken picked her up and ran off for help, running into Isshin and blaming him for Masaki's condition. Kisuke, who has briefly met with Masaki before, then stepped into their conflict and told them that he knows of a way to help her, which he discovered during the last one hundred years of exile, while trying to cure the Visoreds. Due to her being an extremely powerful Echt Quincy merged with a hollow, the solution for her cure would be different, than for a Soul Reaper merged with one. To balance her soul out with the hollow's in her, the entirety of a Soul Reaper's power is needed to combat it for her entire life, since a Quincy does not have any resistance to hollow souls. Isshin volunteered and Kisuke provided him with a specially created Gigai, that can completely contain a Soul Reaper soul and turn them into a human. Afterwards, the two settled down together and fell in love, while Ryūken married Katagiri. Isshin then tells Ichigo, that the reason Masaki died fighting Grand Fisher and Katagiri died from her illness, was because according to ancient Quincy texts, Yhwach used the Auswählen that stripped several of his people of their powers to regain his own 9 years ago, deeming them impure. Before heading off again, Ichigo receives his badge back from Ikumi. Ryūken finds evidence of Uryū meeting with the Stern Ritters.

Ichigo speaks to Old Man Zangetsu again, who expresses pride in how strong Ichigo has become since he chose the path of a Soul Reaper, despite Old Man Zangetsu suppressing his powers to prevent him from becoming a Soul Reaper in the first place. Old Man Zangetsu sheds a tear as he says farewell and relinquishes his hold on Ichigo's powers, allowing him to finally access his true Zanpakutō, the dual bladed Zangetsu. Sensing both "White" and Old Man Zangetsu in the long and short blades respectively, Ichigo thanks Zangetsu and says that you are me.

When she is trapped because of a moment of fear, Byakuya steps in to recognize her growth. Äs Nödt taunts Byakuya, but the latter allows Rukia to stand on her own. She unleashes her dangerous Bankai, Hakka no Togame to instantly freeze Äs Nödt to death. Byakuya holds Rukia together, while she undoes it and tells her to train with the Bankai, so she does not accidentally kill herself with it. While tending to Rose and Kensei, Kotetsu and 11th Squad lieutenant Yachiru Kusajishi are attacked by a Stern Ritter.

The Stern Ritter "V"Gwenael Lee explains that his ability is to remove himself from his opponents senses, mind and reality too. However, he is increasingly annoyed, when Yachiru attacks him on pure instinct as soon as he reemerges to attack. Noting Lee's failure, the real Stern Ritter "V" Gremmy Thoumeaux appears in the barrier with Kensei and Rose, explaining that his ability is to turn into reality whatever he imagines, and Lee is just a figment of his imagination that he deletes immediately, after he has already killed Rose and Kensei. He imagines that Yachiru's bones are made of cookies, incapacitating her. Suddenly, Kenpachi bursts into the place and informs Kotetsu of Unohana's death. Considering himself the strongest Stern Ritter, Gremmy immediately challenges Kenpachi. He tries imagining him in a pool of water to drown him, but Kenpachi breaks out and slashes him. Gremmy then imagines various guns and missiles and imagines another body for himself, doubling his power of imagination. With the doubled power, he imagines a meteor coming to crash down on the Seireitei, alarming both Soul Reapers and Quincies. Kenpachi, having learned Zanpakutō's name, Nozarashi, decides to unleashe his Shikai, resembling an oversized meat cleaver, with which he obliterates the meteor. Gremmy imagines over a dozen of himself, and with their combined powers, he imagines Kenpachi in outer space. Though significantly injured, Kenpachi breaks through the imaginary space and slashes Gremmy. Angered by his durability and strength, Gremmy tries to imagine his body as strong as Kenpachi's, which in turn weaponized his own imagination against him, since he saw Kenpachi as an all-powerful monster, breaking his own body down. As he is dying, Gremmy reveals his true body to be just a brain.

Though his internal organs are greatly injured, Kenpachi relentlessly searches for Kusajishi, who has disappeared. Then, he is set upon by Bambietta's squad, Stern Ritter "T" Candice Catnipp, Stern Ritter "Z" Giselle Gewelle, Stern Ritter "P" Meninas McAllon and Stern Ritter "G" Liltotto Lamperd. Though initially resisting, Kenpachi is overwhelmed by their combined power. Ichigo suddenly crashes down in, creating a hole leading to the Soul Palace and effortlessly tosses the four Stern Ritters away from Kenpachi. Soul Reapers and Stern Ritters alike are shocked by his entrance. Angered by Ichigo's status as a Special War Power along with Kenpachi, the four Stern Ritters activate their Vollständig to face Ichigo, but none can lay a hand on him. When Candice charges up a giant lightning bolt, Ichigo combines two Getsuga Tenshō from his two Zanpakutō into a Getsuga Jūjishō, cutting her arm off. Giselle uses a dead Soul Reaper's tissue to generate a new arm for her. When they try to regroup for another attack, Bazz-B uses Burner Finger 1 and shoots them all down to claim the glory of beating Ichigo for himself, but then three more Stern Ritters arrive. Surrounded eight-to-one, Ichigo tries to fly off to Yhwach, who is trying to use the hole the former created to invade the Soul Palace. Renji, Rukia, Byakuya, Hisagi, Yumichika and Madarame step in to hold off the Stern Ritters, while Ichigo flies to Yhwach. Uryū immediately fires at Ichigo, who is shocked to see him on the enemy's side. When Uryū activates Licht Regen, Chad and Orihime arrive from Hueco Mundo to block it. As Yhwach ascends with Haschwalth and Uryū, the three of them are left in awe.
38822"Marching Out the Zombies[lower-alpha 12]"Yōichi FujitaYoung Hoon JungMasaki HiramatsuSeptember 9, 2023 (2023-09-09)
Yhwach's ascent to the Soul Palace blows everything and everyone in the vicinity away. Kyōraku questions why Hyōsube would even allow Yhwach to ascend so easily. Orihime and Chad rebuke Ichigo, while Kisuke arrives to lead them to the 12th Division barracks, where Mayuri preemptively built a one-use replica of the Shiba clan's cannon to shoot Ichigo's group back up to the palace. Requiring massive energy to fire off, Kisuke had Yoruichi Shihōin and the remaining Visored collect Reishi from distortions in the Human World, created by Quincies since the first invasion. Byakuya is surrounded by Candice and two more Quincies, while Bazz-B antagonizes Renji and Rukia as soon as they emerge from the rubble. Iba breaks out of the rubble, having protected the wolf formerly known as Komamura. Giselle tries to goad Ikkaku and Yumichika into an attack, so they could get controlled, but when the latter exposes Giselle as being a male, he is angered and summons the semi-conscious undead Bambietta. Giselle explains that he can zombify and control Soul Reapers just with a bit of his blood touching them, but a Quincy actually needs to be dead for him to control, so he personally executed Bambi. Unable to combat Bambietta's ability, the two are overwhelmed and about to be zombified, until Mayuri and Nemu step in. Mayuri, already having created a device to counteract Bambietta's ability, nullifies her use as a pawn. Giselle summons his army of zombified Soul Reapers, comprised mostly of members of Squad 11. Mayuri then reveals his very own pawns, the reanimated former Sexta Espada Luppi Antenor, the two Privaron Espada Dordoni Alessandro Del Socaccio and Cirucci Sanderwicci, as well as Segunda Espada Baraggan Louisenbairn's Fracción Charlotte Chuhlhourne, all retrieved by Mayuri from Octava Espada Szayelaporro Grantz's lab. The resurrected arrancars effortlessly begin dispatching Giselle's zombies, so he summons the zombified Hitsugaya.

Zombified Hitsugaya effortlessly beats Ikkaku, Yumichika and Charlotte, but then Mayuri steps in and uses various drugs on Hitsugaya to slowly awaken his brain and take control over the zombie. Giselle summons his remaining zombies, Kensei, Rose and Matsumuto. Cirucci, Luppi and Dordoni even the battle and Mayuri is able to use his drugs to take the reigns over them from Giselle, who is then impaled by one of them. Meanwhile, Byakuya uses his Bankai to defeat Candice, as well as Stern Ritter "N" Robert Accutrone and NaNaNa, while Meninas and Liltotto watch from afar. Shūhei joins up with Byakuya, but then tries to attack him. Stern Ritter "L" PePe Waccabrada, who is able to use his Reishi to make virtually anything possessing a soul fall in love with him, took control over him and then takes control over Meninas to punch Liltotto away, in order to remove the competition. When PePe uses his ability on Senbonzakura, the Zanpakutō turns against Byakuya as well and Shūhei begins wielding it. When Byakuya is cornered, Mayuri and the zombified Soul Reapers arrive, with Kensei using his Bankai to dispatch PePe and knock out his own lieutenant. PePe awakens among the rubble and tries to beg the approaching Liltotto to spare him, but she consumes him as revenge for his backstabbing. During this, in a post credit scene, Yhwach, Haschwalth and Uryū arrive into the Soul Palace.
39024"Too Early to Win, Too Late to Know"Yōichi FujitaTakahiro ŌtsukaMasaki HiramatsuSeptember 23, 2023 (2023-09-23)
In ancient times, Hyōsube sat down with the young Yhwach to sign a non-aggression treaty toward the Quincies. Yhwach saw through his deception, and questioned why the Soul Reapers enslaved the Soul King, a godly being, Yhwach's father and forced him to separate what was once one realm of infinite life into the World of the Living, Hueco Mundo and Soul Society. Hyōsube then gave him the left arm of the Soul King to appease him, but Yhwach then decided to save his father by erasing him, along with the world. In the present, Shutara and her Holy Soldiers hold Yhwach, Haschwalth and Uryū up. The Soldaten summoned by Haschwalth are killed by Holy Soldiers, but then Yhwach summons Stern Ritter "W" Nianzol Wiezol from his shadow, who dismembers them, but is in turn immobilized and eliminated by Shutara. As Wianzol's body is falling from the palace, Kisuke fires the cannon to send Ichigo, Orihime, Chad, Yoruichi and Ganju Shiba up to the Royal Palace. Yhwach then summons the Stern Ritter Elite Guard, the Schutzstaffel, comprissed of Stern Ritter "X" Lille Barro, Stern Ritter "M" Gerard Valkyrie, Stern Ritter "C" Pernida Parnkgjas and the recently promoted Stern Ritter "D" Askin Nakk Le Vaar. Barro immediately uses his Reishi sniper rifle to shoot Shutara in the head and blast down what he believes to be the personal palaces of the Squad 0 members. Shutara reveals herself to be alive, and also explains that they are in fact in a fake Soul Palace, a trap caging them in, created by Hikifune. Hikifune, Kirinji and Nimaiya step in as well. Nimaiya shows off a failed Zanpakutō he created long ago, called Sayafushi, which is so sharp and smooth, that no sheath can hold it. The Schutzstaffel attack Nimaiya all at once, but he effortlessly kills them all. Yhwach uses his trump card to escape the trap and go up directly to Hyōsube's palace.
39125"The Master[lower-alpha 4]"Shinichirō UedaShinichirō UedaMasaki HiramatsuSeptember 30, 2023 (2023-09-30)
At the ruins of Squad 12 barracks, Kisuke is joined by the remaining Visored, Hiyori Sarugaki, Lisa Yadōmaru, Hachigen Ushōda and Love Aikawa, as well as Yūshirō Shihōin, Yoruichi's little brother and current head of the clan, so they could head up to the Royal Palace. Sheltered under rubble, the wounded Giselle tries to heal himself, by sucking out his blood from zombified Bambietta, before being joined by Liltotto, while Meninas and Candice recover as well. Hyōsube engages Yhwach in an aerial battle, revealing that his brush-shaped Zanpakutō does not cut physical objects, but their names and halves their power, so when he cuts Yhwach with it, his strength is also halved and he is beaten back. Kirinji activates his Shikai and engages Haschwalth in battle, who is soon cut down by the Soul Reaper. Uryū battles Shutara atop the branches, but his rain of Licht Regen is blocked by Shutara, who dispels the Reishi back to Uryū, knocking him out. Nimaiya is shocked by Askin's survival, who explains that his Schrift "D" makes him nigh immortal, allowing him to calculate the "perfect lethal dose" of any substance he takes into his body and then control the amount as he sees fit, inducing a lethal dosage of that substance in those around him. By consuming his own blood, Askin makes a certain dosage of Nimaiya's blood fatal to himself. However, Kirinji interrupts the battle by using his hot springs to replenish Nimaiya's poisoned blood, who then kills Askin. As Hyōsube approaches Yhwach, the latter activates Auswählen to strip the remaining Soldaten and Stern Ritters in the Seireitei - including the Bambis and Bazz-B - of their Reishi and Schrift ability, to redistribute it between himself and those he sees fit, thus resurrecting Haschwalth and all of the Schutzstaffel, who then activate their Vollständig. Meanwhile, in the Seireitei's ruins, Kyōraku leaves his post as the Soul Palace is the true target and joins 13th Squad captain Jūshirō Ukitake, who used something called Kamikake to wrap his body up to combat his illness, so he could join the battle.
39226"Black[lower-alpha 4]"Hikaru MurataHikaru Murata & Takahiro EnokidaMasaki HiramatsuSeptember 30, 2023 (2023-09-30)
Barro immediately shoots Nimaiya, who theorizes that Barro being able to shoot him now is part of the power-up received by Auswählen, but Barro explains that his Schrift "X" is the ability to shoot anything in the distance between his muzzle and what he considers to be his target, which is why it cannot be blocked, proven by Hikifune and Kirinji's attempt to shield Nimaiya with their Zanpakutō failing, so Shutara flies off with the injured Nimaiya and heals him. Hikifune overgrows the cage, so everyone is separated into 1v1 battles. Shutara manages to use her sewing needle to immobilize Gerard, Hikifune tries to bury Pernida under her Reishi seeds, while Askin adopts a hit-and-run tactic in his match-up with Kirinji and Nimaiya weaves between Barro's attacks before standing on his barrel to slash him. Hyōsube uses Hado and various attacks in order to move in close and injure Yhwach, after which he activates his Shikai, turning his brush into a sort of glaive that can splash black ink around. Yhwach's blade is covered in ink and Hyōsube explains that anything splashed by his ink loses its name, and that which has no name, has no power either. Gerard breaks free when Shutara tries to pierce his heart and pummels her into the ground. Pernida annihilates the roots Hikifune uses and gravely injures her. Because Kirinji is continuously underestimating him, Askin is able to slip behind him and shoot him through. As Barro is catching up to his movement speed, Nimaiya tries to approach Barro head on by placing Yhwach in the same crosshairs, but Barro shoots through Nimaiya, since his ability extends only to his target, not beyond him. Yhwach absorbs Hyōsube's ink ability to turn it on him. Squad 0 rises again despite the Schutstaffel's taunts. Nimaiya explains, that if they would fight with their true power, it could destroy the heavens, so they have connected their lives and sealed away their true Zanpakutō. Nimaiya designates Shutara to handle the Quincies and then he, Kirinji and Hikifune kill themselves to release the seal on them and empower Shutara with their collective, who uses her Bankai, Shatatsu Karagara Shigaraminotsuji to trap the Quincies in a void dimension she can manipulate using the cloth and loom within it. The activation of her Bankai causes tremors in the Seireitei, Human World and Hueco Mundo at the same time. In her Bankai dimension, Shutara weaves her cloth to create specific methods with which she kills the Schutzstaffel, Haschwalth and Uryū. Hyōsube covers Yhwach in black ink with a giant splash, revealing that when he activates his Shikai, its ability Black, would absorb the color of black from all living things in all worlds to provide ink. Hyōsube then activates his Shin'uchi, a precursor to Bankais - his Zanpakutō being the first to ever evolve to such a state - Shirafude Ichimonji, with which he can rename the things his Shikai painted over to turn them nameless and uses this to rename Yhwach to a frail being, a "Black Ant". He then crushes Yhwach under his foot like a bug and tosses him off of the Soul Palace.
