BLEACH: Thousand-Year Blood War - The Separation
Synopsis
The story
After a brutal surprise attack by the forces of Quincy King Yhwach, the resident Reapers of the Soul Society lick their wounds and mourn their losses. Many of the surviving Soul Reaper captains train to battle without their Bankai, the ultimate technique wielded by the fiercest warriors. In the previous assault, Ichigo Kurosaki narrowly managed to help fend off Yhwach's fearsome wrath. However, to ultimately defeat his godly adversary and save his allies, Ichigo must now undergo severe training that will push him beyond his physical, emotional, and mental limits. Though Yhwach already holds the upper hand in this ongoing blood feud, he also successfully recruits Uryuu Ishida, Ichigo's close friend and rival, to be his successor. Yhwach strikes out once again at the weakened Soul Society, intent on finally obliterating his long-standing enemies. As Ichigo struggles to attain new power, the Soul Reaper captains fight for survival and borrowed time.

As if Cour 1 wasn't good enough, Cour 2 showed us just how much better it can get

Horrible; it genuinely saddens me to see one of my favorite anime at its lowest point.
@Anj10067/294 helpful
It was worth the wait—Bleach is back!
@SenApai0717/21 helpful
Rukia's bankai and Uryuu main character treatment singlehandedly saved Cour 2
