A brief recap of Bleach TYBW part 2 episode 8

The previous episode of Bleach TYBW saw Yhwach waking up from his sleep and wishing for the end of the world. On the battlefield, Kenpachi Zaraki couldn't find Yachiru after his fight against Gremmy Thoumeaux, so he ordered his squad members to find her. However, Zaraki and his men were ambushed by the Quincy girls or Bambi sisters.

Candice Catnipp and others left Zaraki reeling on the ground and were about to finish him off. However, Ichigo Kurosaki appeared and saved Zaraki from the clutches of death.

The episode saw Ichigo's enhanced power as a soul reaper as he fought against four Quincy girls alone and overwhelmed them. He also exhibited his Getsuga Jujisho, a new type of Getsuga, against Candice Catnipp, the Sternrtter T for Thunder.

Meanwhile, Ichigo's return caused a hole in the barrier that existed between the Soul Society, and the Royal Palace, prompting Yhwach to infiltrate the Royal Palace where the Soul King dwells. At this point, Ichigo was surprised to see his friend, Uryu Ishida, standing beside Yhwach and Jugram.
