Masakazu Morita and Yuki Matsuoka are reprising their roles as Ichigo and Orihime, while Takayuki Sugo joined as Yhwach. Tite Kubo also said in an interview that the 2nd part will animate a new fight that wasn’t drawn in the manga. It will feature a battle between two ‘certain characters’ and the anime production team asked to have the character fight around this time.
