The little brother among The Big Three has risen again, as Bleach is back to claim its spot as a shonen legend. Bleach Thousand Year Blood War Episode 5 is the fifth episode of the final arc of Bleach, an action, fantasy, and supernatural anime directed by Tomohisa Taguchi and based on an original manga written by Tite Kubo. The episode is also known as Bleach TYBW Episode 5 and Bleach Sennen Kessen-hen Episode 5.
The series is based in a world where spirits are guided towards the afterlife by a group of protectors named “Soul-Reapers”. They are their sole defence against various other negative aspects of souls, such as the corrupted hollows, the powerful Arrancars, and bad Soul Reapers out to destroy the balance of the world. Speaking of Balance, the latest season revolves around Quincies, the natural enemy of the Soul Reapers, and their war against the entire soul society.
Bleach Thousand Year Blood War sees our favourite substitute Soul-reaper, Ichigo Kurosaki, alongside all of his friends and the entirety of the Soul Reaper force from the Soul Society, go up against the Quincy King. He has come to fulfil the prophecy of being the one to put an end to the war between the two rival forces and erase the reapers from this universe forever. This is the hardest challenge Ichigo has ever faced. Let’s see if he comes out on top!

Bleach Thousand Year Blood War Episode 5 Plot
While seeing the captains finally unleash their fury in the previous episode was great, what came after wasn’t that hype. Almost every one of the Soul Reaper defence forces suffered a likely defeat at the hands of the Sternritters, as the power of the Quincies felt overwhelming to the point of unfairness. This episode will see salvation come in the form of Ichigo if he manages to escape the deadly trap Opie has set for him. There is a lot of uncertainty in the air, which makes this episode that much more exciting.
