<Story
Coincidence or inevitability?

Ichigo Kurosaki, who became an "Acting Shinigami" after acquiring the power of a Shinigami through a chance encounter, has been involved in the upheaval of the Soul Society, a place where the souls of those who have died in this world gather, and has grown up together with his friends in the midst of fierce battles.
Then something strange happens in Karakura-cho, where Ichigo lives. A new Shinigami and a new enemy appear. And there are voices calling for help. Ichigo once again picks up his Zanpakuto and sets off for the battlefield.

Meanwhile, in the Corpse Realm, the sudden and continuous disappearance of hollows in this world is observed, and the residents of Ryutonmachi, where the souls that have been led here live, disappear.

The identity of the bandit army is that of the Unseen Reich, led by the founder of the Quincy, Juhabach.
The "Unseen Empire" declares war on the Shinigami.

Five days later, the mortal world is annihilated by the "Unseen Empire.
