The official description for the final seasons of the Bleach anime warns that the Thousand-Year Blood War between the Soul Reapers and Quincies will end in destruction.

Royal Guard Squad Zero tries to stop Yhwach from reaching the Royal Palace, but he’s too powerful. He destroys their strongest attacks and enters the Reio Greater Palace. Ichibe Hyosube asks Ichigo Kurosaki and his friends to safeguard the Soul King, but Yhwach deceives them, leading Ichigo to accidentally strike and wound the Soul King with his sword.

With the Soul King’s death, the balance between the worlds is shattered, and signs of impending doom appear everywhere. The Soul Reapers of the Thirteen Guard Squads team up with the remaining Quincies and rush to the Royal Palace, only to find it has been taken over by the Wandenreich, who have reshaped it into a new world called the Wahr Welt.

“The Royal Guard waits for them within the castle, ominously towering against the sky.”

You can now watch Bleach: Thousand-Year Blood War on Hulu and Disney+. If you’re looking for the original Bleach anime series and movies, you can find them on Crunchyroll, Hulu, and Netflix.
