[Story]
Coincidence, or perhaps inevitability–
Ichigo Kurosaki, who became an “Agent of the Shinigami” after acquiring the power of a Shinigami through a chance encounter, has been involved in the upheaval in the Soul Society, a place where the souls of those who have died in this world gather, and has grown up together with his friends through fierce battles.
In the town of Karakura, where Ichigo lives, something strange happens. A new Shinigami and a new enemy appear. And there are voices calling for help. Ichigo takes up his Zanpakuto once again and sets off for the battlefield.
Meanwhile, in the Soul Society, the sudden and continuous disappearance of Hollows in this world is observed, the disappearance of the residents of Rukongai where the souls that have been led here live, and the Seireitei, the spiritual house where the Shinigami live, is attacked by bandit forces.
The identity of the bandit army is the Wandenreich led by the founder of the Quincy, Yhwach.
Wandenreich declares war on the Shinigami. Five days later, Soul Society will destroy by the Wandenreich.
The fate that Shinigami hides truth for a thousand years will finally be unraveled.
Everything comes to an end. Ichigo Kurosaki’s final battle begins.
