Recap of Bleach TYBW Part 3 Episode 3

The previous episode opened with Jushiro Ukitake addressing the Research Lab, expressing his desire to become the Soul King. Shortly after, the 13th Division Captain shed his robe and began a ritual to channel the powers of the local deity, Mimihagi. This episode also revisited Ukitake’s past, illustrating how Mimihagi once intervened to save his life.

Born with a rare lung condition, Ukitake’s parents sought the blessing of Mimihagi at the shrine in Rukon District. Their prayers were answered when the deity halted the progression of his illness.

Additionally, the episode provided glimpses into Jushiro’s history, such as his friendship with Shunsui from the Soul Reaper Academy and his concerns about replacing their fallen comrade, Kaien.

After several flashbacks, the narrative returned to Ukitake completing his ritual. He sacrificed his physical form, becoming the embodiment of the Soul King’s Right Arm. A dark arm then emerged from him, stretching skyward towards the Royal Palace.

During a battle with Ichigo and others, Yhwach witnessed this black arm wrap around the severed Soul King, temporarily halting the disintegration of the realms. Intriguingly, Yhwach’s Almighty vision failed to foresee this occurrence. Meanwhile, Shunsui Kyoraku traveled to Muken, releasing three seals connected to Sosuke Aizen.

Shunsui inquired if Aizen would like to experience the fresh air of the Soul Society again, making it clear that he wasn’t requesting Aizen to fight but rather suggesting that their goals were aligned. The episode concluded with Aizen weighing the prospect of returning to a Soul Society on the brink of destruction from Yhwach.
