Having absorbed the Soul King’s power and gained the ability to remain awakened even during the night, Yhwach has become a threat to the world that surpassed everything, even without using The Almighty. Even so, Ichigo and Orihime refuse to back down and continue to confront him.

Uryu, meanwhile, continues searching for a chance to win despite struggling against Haschwalth’s ability to foresee the future. Elsewhere, in the First Branch District, the Soul Reapers gather to defeat the now-gigantic Gerard, engaging him in a fierce battle.
