The new Bleach anime brought several extra materials to the final arc to fill in the gaps left by the manga. Therefore, this double episode fulfilled one of the fans' greatest wishes: to improve the fight of Division Zero. However, the anime went further by introducing Senjumaru's Bankai and explaining why the division contains his powers.
According to the characters, each member of Division Zero's Bankai is restricted by a blood pact because their power is so great that it could break the balance of the three worlds. In other words, to break the seal of one, three members must sacrifice their lives. Shortly after Yhwach pressured the division, Senjumaru was chosen to end the fight.
His Bankai distorts reality through a Japanese Torii that creates various different stories to trap each enemy in some kind of tragedy. Furthermore, the anime also gave more prominence to the division's fight and the Quincies .
In the manga, the only member of Division Zero who stood out in this fight was Ichibei , while the others lost easily. Many fans lamented that these supposedly strong characters didn't live up to their reputation, even though they were said to be stronger than the Gotei 13. Therefore, the anime addressed this concern, showing their true power and the reason they needed to hold back.
Synopsis:
Shortly after a series of Hollow murders and disappearances in the Rukongai district, Ichigo and his friends discover that the Quincy are indeed alive. To jog their memory, the Quincy are a supernatural order of humans who can manipulate reishi and kill Hollows instead of purifying them like the Soul Society. Everyone believed the Gotei 13 exterminated these enemies 1,000 years ago, but the Quincy remained in hiding, awaiting the return of their king, Yhwach.
