In episode 10 of Bleach: Thousand-Year Blood War, titled “The Battle”, Unohana and Zaraki continue their exhilarating fight as Unohana remembers the time she met Zaraki.
After countless blackouts and resurrections, Zaraki is finally able to unshackle his power and Unohana unleashes her Bankai, Minazuki. Unohana is defeated and Zankai finally hears his Zanopakuto.
Meanwhile, Renji and Ichigo reach Hoohden, Nimaiya’s place. He takes both of their Zanpakuto and throws them underground for a test. Renji passes the test but unfortunately, Ichigo fails and he is sent back to the human world, in front of Kurosaki’s clinic.
Here are the latest updates
Episode 11 Speculation
The next episode, episode 11, is titled “Everything But the Rain”. Ichigo has been put into a depressing situation as he was sent back to the human realm which will probably bring him down.
However, as Nimaiya said, it is impressive that Ichigo came this far without any Zanpakuto training. This will be a valuable experience for Ichigo as he will be able to learn more about Zangetsu (Hollow Ichigo) as well.
Being in the human world again, he will be meeting his dad and friends. His dad will probably be the one to help him regain his confidence and push him to be stronger. We may also be getting a backstory on Ichigo’s mother.

Recap of Episode 10
Unohana and Zaraki continue to clash swords. Zaraki realizes that he is blacking out again and again in the middle of the fight. What he doesn’t realize is that Unohana is healing him each time he is stabbed.
Unohana remembers the time she met Zaraki several hundred years ago. She is unable to find anyone strong and worthy enough to be her opponent.
She met Zaraki sitting on top of a big pile of bodies, who attacks her. They both experienced joy as they clashed swords with someone who can rival their power after looking for one for so long.
However, Unohana turned out to be weaker than him and he starts unconsciously restraining his powers in battle to keep fighting, scared he won’t be able to experience the joy of battle ever again otherwise.
Unohana noticed Zaraki breaking his shackles every time he fought against someone powerful. So in order to unshackle his full power, she keeps on pushing and healing him so that he can surpass her.
Finally, Zaraki is able to slash her. Unohana unleashes her powerful ability, Bankai, Minazuki, which forms blood blades and plunges the whole place into blood.
As both of them fight to the death, Unohana remembers why she gave him the name Kenpachi. Zaraki stabs her. As Unohana draws her last breath, Zaraki grieves and begs for her to not die. Unohana, however, is satisfied and relinquishes all her powers to him before dying. Zaraki is able to finally hear his Zanpakuto.
Meanwhile, Ichigo, Renji, and Kon reach Hoohden, Oh-Etsu’s Nimaiya’s palace. They are surprised to find the palace looks more like a club with a couple of women inside, and meet the eccentric captain himself.
Nimaiya is pushed down by someone named Mera who brings them to a decapitated hut near the cliff, announcing that is the real Hoohden. As Ichigo and Renji step inside, they fall down into an underground area.
Nimaiya reveals he is the only Soul Reaper there and all the women in the club are Zanpakuto. Since the boys are not even able to tell the difference between the two, they didn’t realize their Zanpakuto was taken by Nimaiya who breaks them.
He explains to them that they are surrounded by angry Asauchi, nameless Zanpakuto who turn into fully awakened Zanpakuto after a bond has been formed between them and the Soul Reapers.
The Asauchi are angry with Ichigo and Renji because of the way they use their Zanpakuto and Nimaiya leaves the boys to fight against them. He tells them that he will fix their Zanpakotu if they make it out alive.
After continuous fighting for three days, Renji comes out victorious but Nimaiya declares that Ichigo has failed. As Ichigo protests that he can still go on, Nimaiya tells him it is not about his physical limit but his emotional limit. He just wasn’t chosen by any Asauchi.
Nimaiya tells him to not enter Soul Society anymore. Ichigo’s protests fall on deaf ears and he is sent back to the Human realm, in front of Kurosaki clinic.
Nimaiya remarks that Ichigo doesn’t realize the significance of him being able to go this long without using an Asauchi and he must go back to his roots to learn.
