What to expect from Bleach: Thousand-Year Blood War episode 8?

The Shooting Star Project (Zero Mix), will most likely feature the first appearance of the Zero Division of Gotei 13. Now that the Soul Society is destroyed, the Gotei 13 require the Zero Division's help in their fight against the Quincy, thus they may drop in on the Soul Society upon the Soul King's orders.

In the meantime, Gotei 13 will try to recollect themselves as they try to heal everyone who survived the onslaught by the Wandenreich army. Also, Ichigo will most likely try to get his Zanpakuto fixed, after it was destroyed by Sternritter Grandmaster Jugram Haschwalth.


What happened last time?

Bleach: Thousand-Year Blood War episode 7, titled Born in the Dark, saw a flashback to the war against the Quincy and the Shinigami, which took place a thousand years ago, after which Yhwach killed Yamamoto.

The Father of the Quincy then ordered Jugram Haschwalth to have the Soul Society destroyed, following which the Wandenreich soldiers entered the Seireitei and annhilated the Shinigami.

This is when Ichigo broke out of Quilge's Jail and attacked Yhwach upon Byakuya's request. He wasn't able to defeat him, but Yhwach hinted at his lineage and how Ichigo had Quincy powers. As the Quincy were returning to Wandernreich, Jugram cut Ichigo's Zanpakuto into two pieces.
