The official website describes the story for the episode:
Isane and Yachiru, who were treating Kensei and the others, are attacked by Guenael Lee, a Sternritter with the ability to erase not only their appearance but also their opponent’s memories of them at will. Yachiru repeatedly “meets for the first time,” but she uses her instincts and reflexes to strike back at her invisible foe, then draws her zanpakuto and attacks again. Yachiru’s ability to use a shikai surprises Isane and drives Guenael into a corner. At that moment, however, another enemy silently appears inside the ward.
Studio Pierrot previously produced the original TV anime adaptation of Tite Kubo’s BLEACH manga, which aired between October 2004 and March 2012 with a total of 366 episodes. VIZ Media licensed it in English, and they describe the BLEACH: TYBWA story:
The peace is suddenly broken when warning sirens blare through the Soul Society. Residents there are disappearing without a trace and nobody knows who’s behind it, meanwhile, a dark shadow is also extending itself toward Ichigo and his friends in Karakura Town…
Last week brought Rukia into the spotlight, and looks like it’s time for Zaraki and Yachiru to fight! Don’t forget to vote for the best anime of the week!
