Everyone put out your hands...

Focus your Spiritual Pressure into those orbs.

"UNKNOWN ANOMALY DETECTED"

"UNKNOWN ANOMALY DETECTED" What was that?

What was that?

What is going on?

What the...

No way...

What the hell is going on?

The Wandenreich cityscape covering the Seireitei

is being stripped away...!

But why? Why is this happening?

What are the Quincies trying to do?!

Oh, come on!

And here we're just getting started on building one measly gate...

Don't our enemies have any limits to what they can do?!

This can't be good...

We need to hurry and finish up the gate!

I put my hands together and pray

Why is fate so cruel?

My will to put on a brave face is about to break

Everything I do seems to go wrong, you know?

Oh, calm down, I still have faith in you

Even if we're apart

Even if you forget about me someday

BLEACH: THOUSAND-YEAR BLOOD WAR

We don't need words to understand each other

We're connected on a higher level

I'm sorry, fate, but you're full of it

So let's laugh it off by putting on a brave face

With you, I think we can alter fate

On lonely nights when I feel like crying

I will pray for you

so that I won't leave you all alone

Open it!

You're...

Hey. It's been a while, Kurosaki.

Grimmjow!

How many years has it been?

Looks like the wound I gave you in our last battle has healed.

You're damn right. You're looking good yourself.

Did you think I was dead?

Like I'd die before killing you.

I've been waiting for this moment...

where I can settle the score with you—

Ichigo!

- N-Nel?! - I missed you so much, Ichigo!

Mr. Urahara made a bracelet

that lets me switch between a kid and an adult at will!

Now I can finally be of actual help to you, Ichigo!

In fact, I may never go back to being a kid

as long as I have this bracelet!

Inoue...

You're probably thinking,

"Why does he have to keep making unnecessary things..."

But don't think like that. Urahara's doing the best he can...

D-Don't be silly, Sado...

I would never think of that! Really!

Nelliel, what's the big idea?!

Get lost, you're in my way!

That's my line.

If you're only here to start a fight, then stay out of it.

Need I remind you that I'm No.3?

I don't take orders from a No.6 like you.

Bullshit.

Those numbers mean nothing now that Aizen's gone.

In fact, why don't we find out right now

to see which one of us is superior!

- Grimmjow, wait—! - Testing, testing...

Okay, cut it out!

Seriously, are there only idiots here?

This isn't what we came here for, remember?!

That voice...

Will you hurry up and get inside before they see us?

And that box...could it be...?

I said, hurry up and get inside!

Riruka?!

I'm here, too, you know.

Yukio!

Oh, and in case it wasn't already obvious,

this is my ability you're looking at.

I knew you guys were alive!

Hold on, what are you doing here anyway?

Just get in for now. We'll explain inside.

So...

which part do you need me to explain, Ichigo?

Are you kidding me?

GARGANTA – INSIDE YUKIO'S BOX

GARGANTA – INSIDE YUKIO'S BOX What do you mean, "which part"?! You need to explain everything!

And I mean everything!

We're so lost here! Right, guys?

Actually, we were told while at Hueco Mundo...

Sorry...

Oh, so you guys already knew back then...

The more manpower we have, the better, right?

Yeah, but isn't it wrong that

I'm the only one left out of the loop?

True...

Well, you've been quite busy lately, so...

Hey, don't give me that tired look!

There was no time.

Oh, really? I think we had plenty of time—

like on our way here!

"WORLD OF THE LIVING / SOUL SOCIETY"

"WORLD OF THE LIVING / SOUL SOCIETY" The Precipice World connects the Soul Society

"WORLD OF THE LIVING / SOUL SOCIETY"

"WORLD OF THE LIVING / SOUL SOCIETY" and the World of the Living.

- That, you know. - Yeah.

"PRECIPICE WORLD" - That, you know. - Yeah.

Scattered around the Precipice World

are areas of various sizes known as the Valley of Screams

where lost souls exist.

Garganta exists to fill up the empty space

in between these areas.

Spiritual Pressure becomes unstable while inside Garganta.

One can barely stand without constantly releasing

their Spiritual Pressure to create a foothold.

But the Valley of Screams seems to be an exception.

It can somehow exist inside as a Reishi space

due to its different Reishi structure.

Kisuke decided to use that to our advantage.

That's why we found and brought these two back.

- Still can't believe they found us. - Her ability to move a target

- Still can't believe they found us. - in and out of her favorite objects...

and his ability to create his own dimension

using electricity.

That's not really how it works. But whatever...

We used Riruka's ability to carry a small Valley of Screams in a box,

then modified it into a room with rails using Yukio's ability.

We were finally able to complete it just now.

However, we're only able to move the short distance

from here to the stake I placed as a marker in the Royal Palace.

Still, the benefits of entering enemy territory

without using Spiritual Pressure are huge!

We can mount a surprise attack now.

We'll take them down in one shot, Ichigo!

Hey, something's not right.

The gate we just built is disappearing...

What is going on?

It's lacking Spiritual Pressure...!

What?

We needed Captain Ukitake...

No other captain could come close to

the Spiritual Pressure he possess...

At this rate...

At this rate, what?

It's not over yet.

Ms. Yadomaru...

We put on the Shihakusho!

Hurry up and give us our damn orbs, Kisuke!

The numbers show we clearly lack enough Spiritual Pressure.

So why aren't you using the Spiritual Pressure amplifier?

Why didn't you tell us you had such a thing?

Because I never anticipated it would come to this.

I won't let your sacrifice go in vain, Ukitake...

We'll ascend to the Royal Palace and mount a surprise attack.

While attempting to seal the Soul King,

I drove in a stake near him just like the one below.

If they haven't moved,

we should be able to arrive right in front of them.

Use that split moment to strike Yhwach

with your most powerful Getsuga.

I know you can do this, Ichigo.

Got it.

We'll clear the path of anyone who gets in your way.

Leave the minions to us!

Right, I'm counting on you.

We have a good grasp of the Royal Guards' powers,

but what exactly are Yhwach's?

I wish we had asked Osho more about it.

So annoying!

I'm totally lost here.

I don't know what happened, but stop moping about the past!

I hate that you're making us feel gloomy, too!

You're right. Thank you, Riruka!

Why are you thanking me for that?! You're such a weirdo!

By the way...

Why are you on our side, Grimmjow?

Huh? Who said I'm on your side?

What an idiot...

If we let that Yhwach have his way, Hueco Mundo will be gone.

If Hueco Mundo is gone, where am I supposed to kill you?

You have a point.

My sons...

What's wrong?

Calm down, Nakk Le Vaar.

Seriously? What is wrong with this guy?!

Doesn't he feel anything

from seeing His Majesty looking like a monster?!

Do I scare you?

Don't be so afraid.

In time, you will get used to my appearance.

Ah, so this...

this is what it's like to be overflowing with power.

We're dead if we fall from here!

Hey! How can you be so calm, Haschwal—?

No way...

Such magnificent power.

The world where the Soul King is gone

cannot exist without Your Majesty's powers.

Guide us, Your Majesty.

Haschwalth, my first son.

Stand behind me and watch the path I take.

I shall begin by reinventing our nation.

We're almost there. Are you guys ready?

Yeah.

Just for the record...

I have no intention of leaving this place.

Do whatever you want without me.

What are you talking about?

Look, I don't know who you are, but—

And I don't know you, either.

They introduced themselves earlier, right?

Ganju did, but Yukio ignored him.

I don't care who you are, but let me say this!

We're about to fight for our lives, and you're just gonna stay here?

I was dragged into this.

I'm not obligated to risk my life.

Risking your life out of obligation isn't risking at all!

You can hide here and do whatever.

But if we lose, this Garganta will be gone, too!

Do you plan on losing?

That's enough, Ganju.

He got you. You lose.

Yukio, you stay here.

I thought that's what I said.

You too, Riruka.

Stay here.

What?!

It's for your own good.

Your abilities will not be enough to survive this battle.

No way, you can't be serious—

I've been to the Valley of Screams before.

I know how much you love cute stuff.

And that you can only put things you love into your box.

The Valley of Screams is anything but cute.

There's no way you could stuff it into a box.

You went out of your way just for us, didn't you?

Thanks.

N-No, why would I do that—!

So do us one more favor, will you?

Stay here with Yukio and be ready to get us out at any time.

Why should I...?

Okay, fine...

VALLEY OF SCREAMS

Hey, Ichigo.

You've grown up.

Really? How so?

Well, maybe not.

I guess you've always been that way.

It's ready!

We've arrived.

Let's go.

Right.

Beyond this gate is the Royal Palace.

Thanks, everybody. Wish us luck!

- Sir! - Sir!

I'm opening the gate! Is everyone ready?

- Yeah! - Yeah!

What is this place?!

This isn't the Royal Palace...

This cityscape is that of a Quincy...

Wait a minute... Then where the hell are we?

W-What is all this?!

I thought we were entering the Royal Palace.

How did we end up in a Quincy town?

What's going on, Kisuke!

Weren't we supposed to be at the Royal Palace?!

Our coordinates place us right above the Seireitei.

We should be at the Royal Palace.

Impossible...!

Did we not arrive at the spot where I drove the stake in?

Ichigo...

So in other words,

the town that was lifted from the Seireitei earlier

was rebuilt atop a demolished Royal Palace.

No way! That was moments ago, how could—

Exactly...

That's how powerful our enemy has become.

Ichigo...

Looks like this place is definitely the Royal Palace.

That damn Yhwach...he rebuilt the Royal Palace to his own liking.

Take a look. The edge of the town is a circle.

This area is probably one of Squad Zero's Riden

in the Royal Palace.

But we can't see the Royal Palace that should be floating above it.

So what you're saying is...

that the Royal Palace was brought down

and everything of it fell into enemy hands?

I-Is that even possible...?

We were spared getting caught in that event

thanks to our being in the Garganta.

We should consider ourselves lucky.

My sister's Spiritual Pressure!

This Spiritual Pressure is from... Yushiro?

Who?

Yushiro Shihoin.

My younger brother who became head of the Shihoin Clan

after I was banished.

Y-Yoruichi, you have a brother? Why didn't you tell me?!

And why should I bother telling you I have a younger brother?

What are you, my fiancé?

I'll be right there, Sister!

Huh?!

Y-You idiot! What were you thinking?!

Sorry... I can't seem to create a foothold for some reason.

It seems finding a foothold with Reishi here won't be easy.

What do you mean, sir?

I'm sure you're feeling it too,

but the Reishi density in the Royal Palace's atmosphere

is quite high.

True...

Ordinarily, it should be easy to create a foothold

with this kind of Reishi density.

Which leaves only one reason why we can't.

The enemy side holds control of all of the Reishi in this area.

It makes sense for them to prepare a battlefield

that works to our disadvantage.

Quincies can manipulate

and use the Reishi in their surroundings.

It'd be something their leader would do.

Especially one who can kill the Soul King.

You're right...

Since coming here, I haven't sensed the Soul King's Spiritual Pressure.

Does this mean he was killed, after all?

Now, now...

They're far away,

but I can feel the Spiritual Pressure of Ichigo's party.

The fact that our advance troops weren't wiped out is good news.

If the Soul King died at the hands of the enemy,

then we need to defeat the enemy and decide on a new Soul King.

If Ukitake could talk, he'd probably say the same thing.

Let's get going.

If we can't rendezvous with Ichigo's party,

we must proceed on the path we're given.

We're the 13 Court Guard Squads.

So let's advance for the sake of the Court Guard.

- Yes, sir! - Right!

Yeep!

Now what?

What is that?!

Come on, isn't it obvious?

That's our enemy's stronghold.

Not only are they not running and hiding...

it's almost as if they're inviting us.

Indeed.

They sure got nerves...

Your Majesty...

It appears Ichigo Kurosaki's party

and the 13 Court Guard Squads

have arrived simultaneously at this...

Welt.

This castle has become the foundation for a new world.

The one and only true world.

It will one day be known as Wahr Welt.

Then we shall kill every last one of them.

To realize the future that is reflected in Your Majesty's eyes.

Here, at the foundation of the new world...

at Wahr Welt.

An ache upon an unsatisfying grayscale

My confidence vanishes

I turned regret into lies

I ignored our chipped blades

I worked overtime just for maintenance

But I knew all along

that this faded color was an irreversible law

So I might as well pray

There's no turning back now

I thought I had made up my mind

but I'm still haunted by doubt and anxiety

A bundle of emotions torn to shreds

with nothing left for me to gain

What's more important than one's life

is to shoulder that burden to sever this monochrome

I keep searching for the answer to an unsolvable thesis

while making choices until I die

Then I remember where we came from

and the lives that could never interact

No one is allowed to use the scale since it falls apart in an instant

So, what can I measure ourselves against?

Instead, I hold onto your words

that gave my heart meaning

It's always a paradox

The moon waxes with each regret and sadness

The massive, unconquerable foe is the darkness that dwells within me

I forsook my pride and joy

but I am still confounded by this flock of imperfection

Beyond that white and resentful midnight sun

awaits an illusion etched in black

"The fire that drips from fangs does not fade."

"The blade burns away the field."

"Revealing my hidden friend."
