The "Bleach" series is coming to an end with just a few chapters left. Chapter 681, which has yet to be in tankobon format, saw the return of Renji and Rukia and dealt with Ichigo losing his motivation to fight Yhwach. However, a report from Design and Trend reveals that Chapter 682 will see Ichigo's group finally pursue Yhwach even if they know it is a losing battle.
Sosuke Aizen is also revealed to have returned, breaking his bounds that held him captive. It is revealed that he was able to do so thanks to Yhwach destroying the Soul Society in previous chapters. However, while it is presumed he may have recovered most of his power, it is undetermined if he can already unleash his Zanpakuto abilities.
It is speculated that it is only a matter of time before Aizen goes up against Yhwach and the former might even have to help Ichigo in order for them to take down Yhwach. Aizen's Kyoka Suigetsu alters reality and Yhwach's "The Almighty" can change the future, making for a very interesting battle sequence.
According to the report, there is also a very intimate moment where Renji showcases his loyalty to Ichigo, stating he would continue to fight for Ichigo until he died. When they do go up against Yhwach, it turns into a losing battle when Yhwach sees the future and is able to shatter Ichigo's blade before the fight can even begin.
The report points out that it is likely Ichigo will rely on the aid of Aizen and the other Soul Captains in order to take down Yhwach and this may lead to Aizen helping Ichigo recover his full Zanpakuto in Chapter 683. When the group finally takes Yhwach down the "Bleach" series will be coming to an end as Volume 74 is confirmed to be the last.
