"Bleach: Sennen Kessen-hen - Ketsubetsu-tan - 03" begins with the reveal of a new invention by Urahara: Shineyaku stones, powerful minerals that have a dual effect on the Soul Reapers. First, they restore their stolen Bankai, and second, they make the Soul Reapers harmful to the Sternritter once again.
The creation of these stones is inspired by the interactions between the Quincies and the captive Arrancars, which Urahara closely observed. He found a way to temporarily mimic Hollowfication, a process that transforms a Soul Reaper into a Hollow-like being, thereby increasing their strength. These newly formulated stones were tested in Hueco Mundo, a parallel dimension to the human world, where Urahara stayed for quite some time.
However, the tide turns when Yhwach, the leader of the Sternritter, empowers his soldiers to surpass the previously imposed limits on them. This increase in power within Yhwach's forces sets the stage for a series of intense battles.
One of the central spectacles of the episode is the Soul Reapers reclaiming their Bankai. However, the episode's focus lies on Shinji's newly discovered Bankai, Sakashima Yokoshima Happoufusagari.
Shinji's Bankai has a disorienting effect that alters perception, allowing him to make Yhwach's soldiers see each other as enemies. This confusion leads to a rapid escalation of infighting among the Sternritter. Shinji's direct confrontation with the Sternritter Bambietta forms an exciting subplot. Bambietta fights her way through a bewildering maze to reach Shinji, while he effortlessly moves and bends around her.
Yet, in the face of Shinji's powerful new ability, Yhwach's power boost for his soldiers might provide Bambietta with a way out of Shinji's Sakanade effect. The episode concludes with anticipation for the upcoming battles between the newly empowered Soul Reapers and their Sternritter opponents, where characters like Komamura, Hitsugaya, Soifon, Ikkaku, Yumichika, and Hisagi will face their enhanced foes in the next episode.
