Episode 2 of Bleach: Thousand-Year Blood War is highly anticipated by fans as they look forward to learning more about Yhwach and Wandenreich. The premiere episode had the most frantic ending as Yhwach made his grotesque introduction after cutting off one of his men's arms.
Tite Kubo's Bleach is finally back after a decade, as fans were left swooning over Ichigo's Bankai and Getsuga Tenshō clips on social media. The main cast, i.e., Ichigo Kurosaki, Ishida Uryu, Orihime Inoue, and Yasutora Sado, made the perfect entry as they took down hoards of Hollows that had attacked Karakura Town. Fans look forward to the upcoming episode with more action yet to come.

What to expect from Bleach TYBW episode 2?
Bleach: Thousand-Year Blood War episode 2 will most likely continue where we left off as Yhwach cut off Luders Friegen's hand following his argument with Asguiro Eburn. Yhwach states how he hates fights, as he asks both Eburn and Luders for their reports. It is ironic how Yhwach hates fights yet declares the biggest war set to take place between Soul Society and Wandenreich.
The upcoming episode will also feature Nelliel, as she will come to Karakura Town to ask Ichigo's help with something occurring in Hueco Mundo. Given how Nelliel herself is quite strong in her Espada form, it is to be seen what sort of threat looms around Hueco Mundo, which has caused her to seek help from Ichigo.
What happened last time?
Thousand-Year Blood War episode 1, titled The Blood Warfare, saw the return of the Father of the Quincies, Yhwach, as he declared war on the Soul Society. He sent Luders Friegen to confront Captain Commander Yamamoto Genryusai and sent his declaration of war against them.
In the meantime, another Quincy, Asguiro Eburn, confronts Ichigo trying to make his Bankai disappear. However, he fails, leaving Ichigo to wonder who the new enemy was. He came to know that Eburn was a Quincy, but according to what Ishida and others had told him, the Quincies had been annihilated by the Soul Reapers centuries ago.
