1-Hour Finale Synopsis

Soul Reapers vs. Quincies, Ichigo vs. Uryu—pride and determination drive the story toward its conclusion.
Uryu, after striking Renji, retreats to the Wahrwelt. Awaiting him is Haschwalth, who appears markedly different. Meanwhile, the Soul Reapers, led by Kyoraku’s decisive actions, rush toward the Wahrwelt’s throne room.

Standing in their way is Gerard Valkyrie. Despite being pushed back by relentless attacks from the Gotei 13 captains, Gerard remains eerily confident, declaring that his power manifests miracles when faced with crisis.
