Bleach 13 keeps the rescue party inside Soul Society and in fights already under way. Ichigo is facing Kenpachi while Chad has encountered Kyoraku, so this is a continuation purchase for readers following the invasion. Buying it as a sample of the series means entering several relationships halfway through. The relevant attraction is the resistance the rescue plan encounters, rather than a fresh destination or a self-contained mission.
Spoilers — why this volume matters. Tap to reveal.
The publisher pairs Chad's setback with Ichigo's struggle against Kenpachi. That pairing matters more than a simple promise of a stronger opponent: different members of the same rescue party are discovering their limits separately. The mission depends on more than its protagonist winning his own duel. As a buying proposition, this is connective battle material, not the reason to buy the run on its own. Keep it with the surrounding invasion books; separating it from the approach would turn the captains into isolated obstacles and lose the cost of arriving here.
