General synopsis of Bleach: Thousand-Year Blood War
Substitute Soul Reaper Ichigo Kurosaki spends his days
battling Hollows, dangerous evil spirits that threaten Karakura Town. Ichigo
carries out his quest with his closest allies: Orihime Inoue, his childhood
friend with a talent for healing; Yasutora Sado, his high school classmate with
superhuman strength; and Uryuu Ishida, Ichigo's rival in the Quincy. Ichigo's
vigilante routine is disrupted by the sudden appearance of Asguiaro Ebern, a
dangerous Arrancar who heralds the return of Yhwach, a former Quincy king.
Yhwach seeks to reignite the age-old blood feud
between the Soul Reaper and the Quincy, and sets out to wipe out both the human
world and Soul Society forever. Yhwach launches a two-pronged invasion of both
Soul Society and Hueco Mundo, home of Hollows and Arrancar. In retaliation,
Ichigo and his friends must fight alongside old allies and enemies to end
Yhwach's campaign of destruction before the world itself comes to an end.
