Wikimedia list article
The chapters 424–686 of the Bleach manga series, written and illustrated by Tite Kubo, comprise two story arcs: the "Lost Agent arc" (死神代行消失篇, Shinigami Daikō Shōshitsu hen) and the "Thousand-Year Blood War arc" (千年血戦篇, Chitose Kessen Hen). The plot follows the Substitute Soul Reaper Ichigo Kurosaki who is in charge of slaying Hollows, evil spirits that attack people. In these chapters, Ichigo and his friends first face Xcution, a gang of Fullbringers—supernaturally aware humans whose leader Ginjo Kujo was his predecessor as Substitute Soul Reaper. After that, they must fight an army of Quincies—humans who can fight Hollows—known as the Wandenreich.
