Bleach (English Dubbed)

The Soul Reapers find themselves in a tough battle against the manifested Zanpakuto, including Ichigo who is struggling against Senbonzakura.

The battle between Soul Reapers and Zanpakuto heats up as Kenpachi joins in the fight. Kenpachi easily overwhelms the Zanpakuto with his incredible Spirit Energy and then goes off to challenge Byakuya.

Ichigo, Renji, Rukia, and Izuru collapse after being exposed to Konjiki Ashisogijizo's poison. Konjiki Ashisogijizo then seeks for its next prey but is stopped by Yachiru Kusajishi.

Yoruichi has located Muramasa's hideout where Head Captain Yamamoto is being held. A team comprised of Ichigo, Shunsui, Jushiro, Kenpachi, and Yoruichi sets out to rescue the Head Captain, but the group soon encounters the Zanpakuto who were anticipating their arrival.

Ichigo battles Muramasa in order to save Head Captain Yamamoto from captivity. Meanwhile, Yoruichi, Shunsui, and Jushiro notice that the Zanpakuto are trying to prevent them from reaching Ichigo, and quickly realize that he was the key to Muramasa's plan all along.

Muramasa's true objective is revealed to be in Karakura Town. Ichigo and the other Soul Reapers try to go after Muramasa, but the manifested Zanpakuto of Genryusai's Ryujinjakka stands in their way.

Uryu, Chad, and Orihime confront Muramasa who has entered the World of the Living. Using teamwork, Uryu and Chad at first appear to gain the upper hand in battle, when Senbonzakura appears to assist Muramasa.

Centuries ago, Ginrei Kuchiki, Byakuya Kuchiki's grandfather, and his son-in-law Koga Kuchiki were assigned to bring down the rebel forces threatening the Seireitei. With his Zanpakuto Muramasa's power, Koga wipes out the renegade Soul Reapers one after another, and soon his strength becomes known throughout the Soul Society. Yet Koga himself was frustrated by the fact that his father-in-law Ginrei did not seem to acknowledge his accomplishments.

Koga Kuchiki escapes his confinement and in the process, kills the Soul Reapers who framed him. Although Ginrei sympathizes with his son-in-law's situation, he reprimands Koga for his rash actions. Enraged, Koga severs his ties with the Kuchiki clan and begins killing Soul Reapers and innocent people.

To uphold the honor of his family, Byakuya Kuchiki fights the resurrected Koga Kuchiki. Meanwhile, the despair of being abandoned by Koga takes its toll on Muramasa's body.

Koga's betrayal causes Muramasa to lose control over all of the Hollows he absorbed to sustain himself. To make matters worse, his immense Spiritual Pressure begins to attract other Hollows to Karakura Town. As Ichigo, Uryu, Chad, Orihime, and Rukia work together to deal with the situation, Muramasa fires a massive Cero towards them.

Uryu and the others attempt to save Ichigo, who has been engulfed by Muramasa, but with little success. Meanwhile, the Soul Reapers of the Thirteen Court Guard Squads team up with their own Zanpakuto to fight the Hollows that have appeared in the World of the Living.

Inside Muramasa's mind, Ichigo clashes blades with Muramasa. As Muramasa's body and mind reach their limits, he begins to transform into a Hollow. With little time remaining, Ichigo and Muramasa decide to settle their score once and for all.
