A synopsis for the first episode of Bleach: Thousand-Year Blood War reads:
It is observed that the void is disappearing one after another in this world, and the Yun Soul World and Technology Development Bureau is in an uproar. Meanwhile, in the town of Soraza, the newly appointed Shinigami Ryūnosuke Yukiki and Shino Tsukume encounter the void shortly after arriving. Aiding the two men, who had nothing to do about the sudden attack, was Kazugo Kurosaki, the acting god of death, and his friends. Two days later, a masked man appears in front of Ichigo who interacts with Ryunosuke, who has regained consciousness. On the other hand, there is also an abnormality happening in the Yun Soul Realm.
