Episode 20 Preview
In Bleach Thousand-Year Blood War Episode 19, protagonist Ichigo Kurosaki finally completes his training and rushes back to the Soul Society. The trip will take roughly a week according to Captain Tenjiro Kirinji, so fans will have to keep waiting a little while longer for Ichigo to be back in action. Meanwhile, revelations regarding Yhwach’s Quincy King powers are brought to light as the villain grows in power with the defeat of a Stern Ritter. This causes great uncertainty for the Soul Reapers, but Rukia Kuchiki is willing to take risks.
Rukia uses her Zanpakuto, Sodenoshirayuki, to combat Sternritter F, also known as Äs Nödt. Although Äs Nödt attempts to strike fear and doubt into Rukia, she’s able to combat the Sternritter’s onslaught. Bleach Thousand-Year Blood War Episode 20 is expected to highlight Rukia’s true fighting prowess as Ichigo continues his trip down a seemingly endless stairway to the Soul Society. Kenpachi Zaraki will also make his return, so fans can expect a hectic battle. Ichigo’s return is imminent in the next few episodes, so fans won’t have to wait long for the climactic showdown between Ichigo and Yhwach.
Finally, Bleach Thousand-Year Blood War is now streaming on Hulu and Disney Plus in select regions. Bleach fans may also look forward to Bleach: Soul Resonance, a new action game launching in 2024 for Android and iOS.
