Top 10 Moments to Anticipate in Bleach TYBW PART 4

Manga Spoilers Ahead 🚨

1. Isshin & Ryuken Unleashed

Long overdue spotlight: Isshin showing his Bankai and Ryuken wielding Quincy power (perhaps Vollständig) in big fights—especially against Gerard or Jugram.

2. Expanded Gerard Valkyrie Battle

The epic clash with Gerard Valkyrie will feature a full Gotei 13 + Visored team-up, including Byakuya, Kenpachi, Hitsugaya—and maybe Rukia or Rangiku, with Shinigami combining their Bankai for a cinematic showdown.

3. Chad’s Defining Moment

Anime-original content may fully animate Chad & Ganju’s fight against Quincy statues—redeeming Chad with real action instead of just implied heroism.

4. Ginjo & Tsukishima Redux

These Fullbring characters are set to return with more prominence—possibly rejoining Ichigo against Sternritter like Haschwalth or Haschwalth-adjacent forces.

5. Soul King Origins

Expect an expanded dive into the Soul King’s backstory—potentially drawing from Can’t Fear Your Own World—to finally shed light on Bleach’s greatest mystery.

6. Aizen vs. Yhwach Extended Showdown

A full-length Aizen-Yhwach duel is on the horizon. Fans have made it clear: it was rushed in the manga. Cour 4 may give this face-off true cinematic weight.

Building to Ichigo’s hidden or ultimate Bankai is a fan favorite expectation, with leaks and Reddit users predicting a jaw-dropping transformation during his climactic duel with Yhwach.

Expect more from the Visored (including Mashiro, Shinji, etc.) against Gerard, plus Urahara/Yoruichi teaming up with Soifon against Askin or others—fixing oversight from manga pacing.

10. Anime-Original Episodes & New Characters

Tite Kubo has explicitly backed anime-original episodes, adding unseen content and characters never in the manga. Entire episodes of fresh lore and new faces are confirmed
