Bleach: Thousand-Year Blood War Part 3 Episode 1 Recap
Titled ‘A’ after Yhwach’s position of Sternritter A, the installment begins with Senjumaru unleashing her Bankai and trapping the members of the Quincy inside the textile-based pocket dimension. On the other hand, the Squad Zero leader Ichibe uses his powerful Shin’uchi to overwrite Yhwach’s name and reduce him to the size of an ant before crushing him. However, we learn that the antagonist has been fighting with his eyes closed all this time. When he finally opens them, it unlocks his true power, The Almighty, which allows him to see the future.

Yhwach reveals that this ability enables him to counter every attack that comes his way since he can see everything. He dodges all of Ichibe’s onslaught of hits and blasts him into pieces. His awakening also affects Senjumaru’s Bankai as Uryu is able to overpower and trap her in one of her textile pieces. He then drives an arrow through her heart, seemingly killing her. The rest of the Quincy are also freed and reach the Soul King Palace. They kneel before Yhwach and clear a path for him to ascend to where the Soul King is.
After their departure, Ichigo and his friends arrive at the palace and the protagonist is called by Ichibe, who asks him to say his name. When Ichigo utters his name, Ichibe gets his body back and asks him to stop Yhwach. If he successfully kills the Soul King, who holds the world together, reality will come to an end. Ichigo promises to take care of it and starts climbing the stairs with his friends. However, the episode ends with Yhwach revealing that the Soul King is his father and putting a blade through his heart.
