Bleach: Thousand-Year Blood War episode 6, titled The Fire, will see Yamamoto Genryusai and Yhwach meet after a thousand years. Their fight will be interrupted by Sternritter members Äs Nödt‎‎, NaNaNa Najahkoop, and Bazz-B, who think of Yamamoto as foolish for trying to fight their king alone. However, they are all set to be blown away by the Captain Commander's Ryūjin Jakka.

As Yhwach calls all three of them stupid, Yamamoto declares his hate towards Yhwach's unfazed attitude towards his subordinates' deaths, which seemingly hasn't changed from before. As the battle between the two intensifies, the Shinigami will sense something unusual happening in the surrounding Reiatsu.
