What Happened Previously On Bleach: TYBW?
In the Fourth Division's temporary first-aid station, Lieutenant Isane Kotetsu rushed to assist 11th Division Lieutenant Yachiru Kusajishi after an attack. Guenael Lee, Sternritter "V," revealed his Vanishing Point powers—becoming invisible, intangible, and forgotten. Yachiru's Zanpakuto struck regardless of evasion. Amid her duel with Guenael, Gremmy Thoumeaux intervened, obliterating Guenael and revealing his own sinister actions within the barrier. Gremmy's imagining powers led to shocking consequences for Yachiru.
In a climactic clash, Yachiru's limbs crumbled under Gremmy's power of imagination, terrifying her. Zaraki burst in, confronted by a collapsing ceiling. He revealed Unohana's death and his rise as Kenpachi. Gremmy manipulated reality and set a stone fort stage for Zaraki. Their battle ensued: Zaraki's blade stopped at Gremmy's shoulder, but he unveiled the ability to cut Gremmy; however, Gremmy healed himself instantly. As lava surged, Zaraki faced off against Gremmy's irrational abilities. Gremmy trapped Zaraki in a watery cube, but Zaraki got out easily.
In an intense battle, Gremmy unleashed imaginative attacks, bombarding Zaraki with missiles and creating a stone fort. Zaraki slashed through Gremmy's defenses but got ensnared by a colossal stone hand. Despite wounds, Zaraki pressed on, revealing Gremmy's momentary vulnerability. Gremmy conjured a clone and a meteor to obliterate all, only for Zaraki to split the meteor.
As Gremmy created space to trap Zaraki, the latter defied death by slicing his way out. Gremmy's desperate attempts, like self-cloning and self-enhancement, led to his self-destruction. In the end, Gremmy's imaginative powers crumbled, and he dissolved into Reishi, acknowledging Zaraki's superior strength.
