Bleach: Thousand-Year Blood War Episode 24 Recap
Episode 24, titled To Early to Win, Too Late to Know, Hyosube met with the youthful Yhwach, aiming to establish a non-aggression pact concerning the Quincies.
However, Yhwach quickly discerned Hyosube’s ulterior motives and proceeded to ask him about the Soul Reaper’s role in subjugating the Soul King, who also happened to be Yhwach’s father.
He questioned the decision to compel the Soul King to divide what had once been an unending realm of life into the realms of the Living, Soul Society, and Hueco Mundo.
Hyosube offered Yhwach the left arm of the Soul King as a peace offering, but Yhwach ultimately chose to protect his father by erasing both him and the world.
Elsewhere, in the current timeline, Shutara and her Holy Soldiers were restraining Yhwach, Uryu Ishida, and Jugram Haschwalth.
Jugram’s summoned Soldats were defeated by Holy Soldiers, but Yhwach then called forth Sternritter W Nianzol Wiezol from his shadow.
Nianzol triumphed over the Holy Soldiers but was subsequently immobilized and taken down by Shutara.
Elsewhere, Urahara activated the cannon to transport Ichigo, Orihime, Yoruichi, Chad, and Ganju Shiba to the Royal Palace.
After Nianzol’s defeat, Yhwach summoned the Sternritter Elite Guard squad, named the Schutzstaffel.
This elite group includes Sternritter X Lille Barro, Sternritter C Pernida Parnkgjas, Sternritter D Askin Nakk Le Vaar, and Sternritter M Gerard Valkyrie.
Lille used his Reishi sniper rifle to shoot Shutara in the head and attempted to destroy what he thought were Squad 0 members’ palaces.
However, Shutara survived the attack and revealed that they were trapped in a counterfeit Soul Palace, a cunning trap crafted by Hikifune.
Later, Kirinji, Hikifune, and Nimaiya also joined the battle against Yhwach and his comrades.
Nimaiya showcased the incredibly sharp and sheathless Zanpakuto named Sayafushi.
The Schutzstaffel launched a coordinated attack on Nimaiya, but he effortlessly defeated and killed them all.
Yhwach resorted to his ultimate card to break free from the trap and ascended directly to Hyosube's palace.
