## Synopsis

For a thousand years the Soul Society has buried a secret, and now it has come to collect. A concealed army of Quincies known as the Wandenreich steps out of the shadows, their leader Yhwach announcing that the world of the Soul Reapers will be annihilated within days. As Hollows vanish in unnatural numbers and the Seireitei itself falls under siege, Ichigo Kurosaki is pulled back into a conflict far larger than anything he has faced, one that finally drags the Soul Reapers' oldest and darkest history into the light. This is Bleach's endgame, and it is bigger and bloodier than everything that came before.
