Bleach: Thousand-Year Blood War episode 7, titled Born in the Dark, will see Ichigo Kurosaki finally enter the Soul Society after breaking out from Sternritter J Quilge Opie's Jail. As soon as he sets foot in the Soul Society, he will be left devastated by the deaths and destruction surrounding him.

However, Ichigo doesn't have much time to mourn over the losses dealt by the Gotei 13. He is instantly given a mission by none other than the Captain of the Sixth Division, Byakuya Kuchiki, to save the Soul Society.

Ichigo will be set to find Yhwach and fight him. However, given the circumstances, it seems like the fight will not last for long, as Yhwach is set to return to the Wandenreich empire after hinting about his lineage to Ichigo.

Bleach: Thousand-Year Blood War episode 6, titled The Fire, saw Yamamoto and Yhwach having their rematch after 1000 years.

After eliminating Äs Nödt‎‎, NaNaNa Najahkoop, and Bazz-B, who interfered in the fight, Yamamoto started attacking Yhwach. Soon after, he revealed his Bankai: Zanka no Tachi and all his new moves, through which he was able to dominate in his fight against Yhwach and seemingly defeat him.

However, moments later, Yamamoto found out that he had been fighting a body double, Sternritter Y Royd Lloyd. The real Yhwach then appeared before Yamamoto, telling him that he had gone to recruit Aizen into his army but got rejected.

As Yamamoto prepared to fight the Quincy with his Bankai, Yhwach stole it and defeated him instantly.
