When the new sketch came out, memes were all over social media, praising the new art and letting people know about it. Popular memes and references flooded Twitter and other social media platforms. All of this demonstrates how much Tite Kubo's work is admired.

The second part will primarily focus on Ichigo and Uryu's opposing positions. In the trailer, Ichigo asks Uryu to explain why he sided with Yhwach and turned against him.

Further, Uryu swears he would kill Ichigo to protect the Quincy's honor, but Ichigo just wants to protect his companion. The trailer for Bleach TYBW part 2 promises a fierce fight between As Nodt and Rukia, as well as the appearance of Rukia's bankai, Hakka no Togame.

However, the main focus of the upcoming part will be on the Ichigo and Uryu positions. It will be worth the wait for the second part of Bleach TYBW. Till then, Bleach fans can revisit the old episodes.
