Bleach: Thousand Year Blood War part 3, episode #5 It appears to be a desperate situation, as Ichigo and his friends have apparently been defeated by Uryu and Yhwach’s elite guards. Even Ukitake’s ritual appears to have failed and Yhwach has absorbed the Soul King’s powers.
Episode 4 featured a new, extended fight sequence between Uryu and Ichigo, with Uryu using a transformation he never used in the manga: the Quincy Voll Stern Dich (or “Vollstandig” as many fans know it). The fight sequence made the confrontation between Ichigo and his former friend even more poignant, as Ichigo took longer to beg Uryu to see the light. Chad, Orihime, and Ganju also had a prolonged confrontation with Yhwach’s elite guards, though they didn’t fare very well against this group of powerful Quincy.

What happened in the Thousand Year Blood War Part 3 Episode 4?
The King of Souls no longer exists…
In episode 4, Ichigo and his allies hoped to help Ukitake stabilize the Soul King, after the captain sacrificed himself to Mimihagi, the Soul King’s right-hand man, to become the new Soul King. However, Yoruichi’s defenses were disrupted by an attack from Parnkgjas, mutilating his arms, exposing the Soul King to Yhwach’s attack. Yhwach was able to overpower Mimihagi, despite powerful resistance, and absorbed her power before passing into the remains of the Soul King himself.
Meanwhile, Ichigo faced Uryu, pitting the two friends against each other. Uryu did not hold back, using the Voll Stern Dich/Vollstandig technique to overwhelm Ichigo with attacks. Ichigo did his best, but his reluctance to hurt his former friend held him back and gave Uryu the advantage in battle. Ichigo was last seen falling from the skies around the Soul King’s Palace as Uryu was praised by his Quincy comrades for finishing off their enemy. Orihime, Ganju, and Chad didn’t fare much better in their fight with the other Quincy elite, leaving no one in Yhwach’s way.
Bleach Thousand-Year Blood War Part 3, Episode 5 Goes Against Judgment
The Quincy survivors are not happy with Yhwach
Episode #5 of Thousand Year Blood War is titled “Against Judgment.” This is the title of chapter 623 of the manga, indicating exactly what of the manga the episode will cover. The focus will return to Aizen, who has now been freed by Captain Kyoraku and brought to the surface. It turns out that the Quincy presence in Soul Society was not entirely eliminated by Yhwach’s Auswahlen, leaving a handful of survivors who still have some power at their disposal. But with their boss trying to kill them, will the Quincy still be interested in fighting?
Ichigo’s group will be recovering from the defeat they just suffered, trying to regroup and come up with a new plan of attack to take down Yhwach. They may even finally receive long-awaited help from a mysterious ally, whose presence has so far only been hinted at. An interesting fact to note is that Uryu saw Ichigo use the Blut Vene technique, revealing his connection with Quincy to Uryu. It will be interesting to see how Uryu might react to this information, as this revelation was a direct result of the new fight that was not in the manga.
With Yhwach absorbing the Soul King’s powers, the situation reached a new level of despair. The cornerstone of the three worlds is missing and the tremors will soon resume, signaling the end of the current reality. It’s all coming down to the next few minutes in Bleach: Thousand Year Blood Warso we can only hope that the Soul Reapers find their way to the Soul King’s Palace sooner or later.
