In episode 4 of Bleach: Thousand Year Blood War, Ichigo is still fighting Opie. The Stern Ritter has caused havoc in the Soul Society. About 1,000 Soul Reapers are dead. The Captains got their Bankai stolen.
Kira’s Spiritual Pressure seems to have vanished. Opie attacks Urahara, Inoue and Yasutora. Ichigo is bound in a dark prison preventing him from returning to the Soul Society.
The episode was exciting to watch. We never thought the Quincies would be so powerful that even the captains would be overthrown. But, of course, the Soul Reapers did not know anything about their opponents.
Now that they are analyzing the situation, they might come up with a solution soon.Here are the latest updates.
Episode 5 Speculation
Episode 5 is titled ‘Wrath as a Lightning.’
We have observed that Opie’s sole purpose is to prevent Ichigo from returning to the Soul Society. The reason might be that his Bankai cannot be stolen, and he is indeed powerful at this point in the series. Though Opie has captured him in the dark prison, I feel Ichigo will return one way or the other.
Now that the captions have their Bankai stolen, it is a massive blow to the Soul Society. The actual motive of the Quincies is not yet disclosed. Will the Stern Ritter further attack them?
Ishida might be present in the next episode. If he fights against the Stern Ritter with Ichigo by his side, the Soul Society might have a chance to win.
Kira’s Spiritual Presence seems to have vanished, but it is not yet confirmed if he is dead.

Recap of Episode 4
The episode starts with a recap of the last three episodes. The Quincies’ Spiritual Pressures have been detected in 16 locations within the Seireitei. The Spiritual Pressure of the Soul Reapers has disappeared in different areas, presuming them dead.
Kira’s spiritual Pressure has disappeared as well. Within seven minutes, more than 1000 deaths have been caused.
Kajomaru is sliced into half without much effort by one of the Stern Ritter. Rose is talking with a Stern Ritter named U. We see each Stern Ritter present to each of the captains as an opponent.
Renji is facing a Stern Ritter named F. F seems to block Renji’s attack without much effort. Renji notices that as F blocks his attack, a blue mark appears on his body parts. F does not even get affected by Byakuya’s attacks which should have blown his head. Toshiro finds it arduous to defeat the Stern Ritter he is facing.
Soi faces another Stern Ritter whom she cannot pierce through. So basically, the Stern Ritter is so strong that even the powerful captains of Soul Society are having a hard time knocking them, provided they don’t have any information about their opponents. They only know that Stern Ritter has a way of sealing Bankai.
Byakuya decides to use his Bankai so Renji can observe how they seal it off. As he proceeds with the plan and uses his Bankai, the Stern Ritter F steals it. Now we got to know that they don’t seal but steal Bankai. The captains who used their Bankai while fighting against the Stern Ritter got it stolen. Akon decides to contact Ichigo.
Ichigo is still fighting Opie in Hueco Mundo. As Ichigo is distracting Opie, Urahara attacks Opie with a fatal blow. Urahara opens a portal for Ichigo to return to the Soul Society.
As Urahara explains what they have analyzed till now about Quincies, the exit is blocked. Opie has attacked Urahara, and Inoue and Yasutora lie motionless. Opie captures Ichigo in the dark prison and seals it off completely.
