Bleach: Thousand-Year Blood War Part 3 Episode 2 recap

Bleach: Thousand-Year Blood War Part 3 Episode 2 is titled ‘Kill The King,’ and opens with a flashback to a young Yhwach witnessing his father, the Soul King's, self-sacrifice to become the anchor of the three realms. As Ichigo Kurosaki approaches the Soul King's palace, he experiences similar visions.

Meanwhile, Yhwach stabs the Soul King, causing tremors throughout the realms. Ichigo arrives and confronts Yhwach, engaging in a fierce battle that spans across the Soul Palace. Ichigo uses his Getsuga Jujisho attack, but Yhwach remains unharmed, revealing he has yet to unleash his Almighty eyes.

Once Yhwach activates this power, Ichigo's attacks become ineffective in Bleach: Thousand-Year Blood War Part 3 Episode 2. Elsewhere, Renji, Rukia, and others consult Kisuke Urahara to understand the disturbances.

Yhwach then discloses the Soul King's foreknowledge of the Quincy tragedy and his abandonment of them. Ichigo attempts to save the Soul King, but his Quincy blood causes him to cut the king in half, fulfilling Yhwach's plan. Bleach: Thousand-Year Blood War Part 3 Episode 2 ends with Yhwach predicting the Soul Society's destruction.
