Bleach TYBW part 2 episode 9, titled Marching Out The Zombies, was originally slated to release on September 2, 2023. However, on August 26, the official X account of Bleach TYBW announced that the episode would be delayed by a week, which means the next release will now happen on September 9.

Although unconfirmed, many fans speculate that this unexpected delay might have to do with production issues and the scheduling of the episodes. Nonetheless, the next week onwards, Bleach TYBW anime will see the continuation of the story.

Major plot developments to expect in Bleach TYBW part 2 episode 9

The next installment of Bleach TYBW, titled Marching Out The Zombies, will see the continuation of Quincy vs. the Shinigami War.
