The final chapters of the original story arc begun in Bleach: Memories of Nobody.
The story of Soul Society deals with a new war between the Shinigami and the Gotei 13 as the Soul King was Reborn on the day of his death, the First day of the Seventh Month. As usual, things are hectic in Soul Society as multiple aspects of the Shinigami plans are changing rapidly as a new leader steps up to the Soul King's office.
