The Separation Plot
As the Soul Society reels from Yhwach’s devastating attack, Ichigo Kurosaki trains relentlessly to unlock new powers that may be the key to stopping the Quincy King. But the battlefield shifts when Uryuu Ishida—Ichigo’s closest friend and trusted ally—joins Yhwach as his chosen successor. Now standing on opposite sides of a brutal war, Ichigo fights with the weight of responsibility to protect the world, while Uryuu walks a path shrouded in mystery and conviction. As alliances fracture and the enemy grows stronger, a final confrontation looms—one between two friends torn apart by fate.
