Bleach: TYBW episode 14 is set to release sometime in July, 2023. Following the final episode of the series’ first part, fans were unfortunately alerted to the delayed release window of the series’ second part. While cours are typically separated by just three months, fans will have to wait more than six months for the first episode of the second part.
Even more unfortunate is that no verifiable spoiler information for Bleach: TYBW episode 14 is available as of this article’s writing. While this is to be expected, it’s still upsetting that fans have almost nothing to go off of in terms of the upcoming part’s story. A brief trailer was released, but it seems to focus on building hype for the second part rather than revealing plot info.
Follow along as this article fully breaks down all currently available release information for Bleach: TYBW episode 14 and speculates on what to expect in the episode.
Bleach: TYBW episode 14 likely to see Ichigo training with his new Zanpakuto before reengaging any Sternritter

Part 1 recap
The first part of the series saw Ichigo Kurosaki and friends become involved in the centuries-old conflict between the Quincies and the Soul Reapers. This began when Ichigo was asked to liberate Hueco Mundo from Quincy rule by Nelliel tu Odelschwanck. This eventually led to Ichigo going to the Soul Society, where he confronted Yhwach and awakened his Quincy powers.
However, he was unable to do so before Genryusai Shigekuni Yamamoto was killed, and Byakuya Kuchiki and several others were defeated with their Bankai stolen. Ichigo’s Bankai was also broken, resulting in the introduction of Squad Zero, which served the purpose of seeing Ichigo, Renji Abarai, Rukia Kuchiki, and Byakuya healed from their battles.
Renji and Ichigo also needed to repair their Zanpakuto, which were broken in their fights against the Sternritter. This required Ichigo to learn about his origins, which then allowed him to claim an asauchi (a blank Zanpakuto) for himself so it could be forged into his true Zanpakuto. Shortly after this was achieved, the series’ first part ended, setting up an exciting start to Bleach: TYBW episode 14.
What to expect
Note: The information in this section is speculation.
Likewise, Bleach: TYBW episode 14 will likely resume with a focus on Ichigo learning about and training with his new Zanpakuto and Bankai. Fans will also likely see an update on the other three Soul Reapers taken by Squad Zero along with Ichigo. A focus on Renji is expected since he was progressing through his recovery at a similar rate as Ichigo.
Based on the preview trailer released shortly after the first part’s conclusion, the second part will focus primarily on Ichigo and Uryu Ishida having picked opposite sides in the conflict. While Ichigo is obviously aligned with the Soul Reapers, Uryu has chosen to stay true to his heritage and side with Yhwach and the Quincies.
Bleach: TYBW episode 14 may see the two friends discuss their choices, but this will likely come later in the season. Likewise, fans can expect the upcoming episode to focus on the fallout from the series’ first part.
