General Synopsis of Bleach: Thousand-Year Blood War

Substitute Soul Reaper Ichigo Kurosaki spends his days fighting Hollows, dangerous evil spirits that threaten Karakura Town. Ichigo carries out his quest with his closest allies: Orihime Inoue, his childhood friend with a talent for healing; Yasutora Sado, his schoolmate with superhuman strength; and Uryuu Ishida, Ichigo's rival from the Quincy. Ichigo's vigilante routine is interrupted by the sudden appearance of Asguiaro Ebern, a dangerous Arrancar who heralds the return of Yhwach, a former king of the Quincy.

Yhwach seeks to reignite the ancient blood feud between the Soul Reaper and the Quincy, and seeks to erase both the human world and Soul Society forever. Yhwach launches a two-pronged invasion of both Soul Society and Hueco Mundo, the home of the Hollows and Arrancar. In retaliation, Ichigo and his friends must fight alongside old allies and enemies to end Yhwach's campaign of destruction before the world itself comes to an end.
