Bleach TYBW finale part 2 commenced as Yushio made his way into the Seireitei, filled with a burning desire to locate his sister, Yoruichi Shihoin. Disappointment consumed the 23rd Head of the Shihoin clan when he discovered that his sister had ventured to the Royal Palace without him. Adding to the intrigue, Hiyori and numerous other Vizards were also spotted within the confines of the Seireitei.

The blonde vizard appeared to be unhappy with Kisuke Urahara because the original plan was for them to go to the Royal Palace together. However, Kisuke ended up sending Ichigo, his friends, and Yoruichi ahead of them. Hiyori expressed her dislike for Kisuke's "For the sake of Seireitei" ideology, stating how much she hated it.

The scene then shifted to the Royal Palace, where Yhwach confronted Manako Osho. Ichibei was greatly annoyed when Yhwach referred to him by his name, so he used Senri Tsutensho to blast the Quincy King away for 1000 ri.

Bleach's final episode of TYBW, episode 25, showcased Yhwach utilizing the powerful Sankt Bogen arrows to propel himself upwards. In response, the formidable Manako Osho both acknowledged Yhwach's daring actions and issued a menacing threat to end his life.

Bleach TYBW part 2 concluded by transporting the audience to the counterfeit Royal Palace, where Jugram Haschwalth and Uryu Ishida confronted Kirinji and Senjumaru, respectively.

During the episode, Zero Squad showcased an array of extraordinary powers. Kirinji unleashed his Zanpakuto, Kinpika, and swiftly attacked Jugram.

Kirinji effortlessly parried the latter's blows with his Freund Schield, only to swiftly disarm him and deliver a fatal strike. Similarly, Senjumaru neutralized Uryu Ishida's Licht Regen by skillfully conjuring an umbrella to redirect the Quincy's attack back towards himself.

In the climactic finale of Bleach TYBW part 2, Askin Nakk le Vaar's schrift D, known as The Death Dealing, took center stage. Utilizing his ability to manipulate the potency of toxins, he strategically weakened Oetsu Nimaiya to gain the upper hand.

However, with the assistance of Kirinji's technique, the Third Seat Officer managed to renew his energy before swiftly defeating Askin in one blow.

At the original Royal Palace, Ichibei Hyosube confronted the King of the Quincy, filled with a deadly determination. Shockingly, it was discovered that his sword had the power to sever not flesh, but names themselves. With this ability, he cleaved Yhwach's arm in two, instantly weakening its strength and capabilities.

In the electrifying conclusion of Bleach TYBW part 2, the audience was brought to a harrowing scene where Giselle Gewelle shamelessly indulged in drinking Bambietta Basterbine's blood. With a strange mix of eccentricity and whimsy, Giselle proceeded to torture the zombified Sternritter mercilessly, before later revealing a twisted form of affection.

Just then, Bleach TYBW part 2 finale saw the remarkable scene of Yhwach performing the Auswahlen to regain strength.

(H1) Many of his comrades were sacrificed in this manner, causing Sternritters like Lilttoto and Bazz B to question their own existence. Surprisingly, the episode concluded with the fallen Schutzstaffel being revived through Auswahlen, leaving Squad Zero astounded.

The grand finale of Bleach TYBW part 2 kicked off with Yhwach confidently asserting his dominance over others. The Quincy King boldly declared that everything in existence revolved around him, and no one dared to challenge that. Fueled by his newly acquired powers, he fearlessly launched himself towards Ichibei.

The Schutzstaffel, however, had regrouped at the Fake Royal Palace. Acting swiftly, Sternritter X, Lille Barro, unleashed his X-Axis attack upon Oetsu Niamiya, piercing his left shoulder and ultimately his chest. Lille claimed that his X-Axis had the ability to effortlessly penetrate anything in its path, rendering any form of defense useless.

Kirinji's Kinpika temporarily diverted the attention, granting Senjumaru the opportunity to restore Oetsu's strength. Swiftly responding, the Squad Zero team launched a relentless retaliation that utterly overwhelmed the formidable Schutzstaffel.

In the climax of Bleach TYBW part 2, the concluding episode takes us to the original Royal Palace. Here, Ichibei Hyosube unveils the powers of his Zanpakuto, Ichimonji, which is capable of erasing the name of any object it touches.

Due to the absorption of Ichimonji's black ink, Yhwach's blade lost its identity, rendering it unusable for the Quincy King.

The setting changed once more to the counterfeit Royal Palace, where the Schutzstaffel members clashed with Squad Zero, utilizing their natural abilities.

Likewise, Yhwach employed his Sankt Altar to seize Ichibe's 'Black' and turned it against him, unleashing Ichibei's own powers. Nevertheless, the Manako Osho remained unaffected.

At the counterfeit Royal palace in Bleach TYBW part 2 finale, the members of Squad Zero made the decision to unveil their incredible abilities. In order to eliminate the formidable Schutzstaffel, they selected Senjumaru as their champion.

With the exception of the formidable Weave Guard, the remaining three Squad Zero members sacrificed themselves, enabling Senjumaru to unlock her ultimate power.

The mere utilization of the Squad Zero members' authentic abilities poses a risk of unsettling the equilibrium among all realms. In response, they forged an unbreakable bond between their lives and sealed away their original swords. Following the self-inflicted deaths of Oetsu, Kirinji, and Hikifune, Senjumaru was able to unlock the full potential of her sword.

With no time to spare, Squad Zero's Fourth Seat Officer wasted no time in unleashing her Bankai, employing a distinct approach to defeat each member of the Schutzstaffel. Even Uryu proved powerless against her, as Senjumaru's fabrics drained his life force.

The finale of Bleach TYBW part 2 then shifted its focus to the intense battle between Yhwach and Ichibei. As the Quincy King attempted to steal Manako Osho's Black, the latter managed to regain his powers. This was possible because he possessed ownership of all the "Black" in existence.

With his energy restored, the Monk proceeded to paint Yhwach in black and unleashed his unique Bankai known as Shirafude Ichimonji.

Using his Bankai, he had the ability to rename objects coated with his Ichimonji's dark ink. Therefore, he opted to rename Yhwach as "Kuroari" or "Black Ant," effectively diminishing his strength to that of a minuscule insect scuttling across the ground. Ultimately, the episode concluded as Manako Osho forcefully brought down the "King of the bugs" and put an end to his life with a divine clap.
