Bleach TYBW part 2: Release date & time for every region

With Bleach TYBW part 2 set to air soon on Saturday, July 8, fans have been looking forward to the resumption of the anime. Bleach TYBW previously premiered back in the Fall 2022 season and ended with Ishida Uryu joining the Quincy. With the second part now set to arrive, fans may soon learn the reason behind Uryu's betrayal.

Bleach TYBW saw the Father of Quincys, Yhwach, return from his long slumber. Immediately upon his return, he weaponized his Sternritter and attacked the Soul Society to steal the Shinigami's Bankai. During this attack, Yhwach met Ichigo and hinted at him being his descent, leaving him to question his real identity.

What to expect from Bleach TYBW part 2 premiere?

Bleach TYBW part 2 premiere will most likely focus on Ishida Uryu. At the end of the previous part, he betrayed Ichigo and his friends to join Yhwach and the Quincy. However, it wasn't revealed why he chose to switch sides. Thus, in the first episode, fans could learn about his goal and what he seeks to achieve from joining the Sternritter.

As evident from the trailer and previews, Yhwach is set to introduce Ishida Uryu to his Sternritter as his successor to the throne of the Wandenreich Empire. However, the Sternritters aren't going to like their king's decision as they have no idea about who Ishida is and why he deserves the position. That said, Sternritter Quilge Opie did know of Ishida Uryu in the first part, meaning some Sternritter may accept him as Yhwach's successor from the get-go.

Bleach will have 13 new episodes in cour 2, following the trend of the first cour. The two released parts of Thousand Year Blood War do not contain any filler episodes yet. All the episodes follow the canonical route and fans are quite happy with the exclusion.

Bleach: Thousand Year Blood War part 2 concluded on September 30, 2023, and cour 3 titled Conflict is waiting to be released in 2024. Part 2 finale witnessed Yhwach turning Ichibei's power against him and dominating the battle. It ends abruptly without showing the conclusion of the Zero Squad vs the Sternritters. The next part will likely carry on from the same.
