The official website for the series has already shared the title and synopsis for Bleach TYBW part 3 episode 1. The premiere episode, titled A, will pick up the events from the previous installment and focus on the battle between the Zero Squad and Yhwach's Schutzstaffel at the Soul King's Palace.

In part 2, Senjumaru Shutara released the blood oath seal in exchange for the lives of Kirio Hikifune, Nimaiya Oh-etsu, and Kirinji, three other Zero Squad members, to overwhelm Yhwach's royal guards, including Uryu.

However, Uryu Ishida may have some tricks on his sleeves, which he may use against Senjumaru, to survive her onslaught. Meanwhile, Ichibe Hyosube unleashed his Shirafude Ichimonji to reduce Yhwach's powers to an ephemeral black ant and crushed him in the Royal Palace.

Yet, Yhwach's actual powers are yet to be awakened. As such, the episode could commence with the King of Quincy's revival and his eventual counterattack against the Manako Osho. On the other hand, the episode will likely show Uryu Ishida's fight back against Senjumaru Shutara.

Under the production of Pierrot Films, the premiere episode sees Tomohisa Taguchi and Masaki Hiramatsu in charge of the scripts. Hikaru Murata has handled the episode's storyboard and direction.

Sayoko Ozawa, Tomoko Hayashi, Cindy H., and Yamauchi are credited as the animation directors for the episode, along with Toru Hasegawa, the chief animation director. With so many stellar staff members working on the episode, fans can expect Bleach TYBW part 3 episode 1 to kick off the sequel in full swing.
