Bleach 23 continues the Arrancar attack on Karakura Town, but Omnibus 23 contains a much later stretch. Check the edition name before ordering a replacement. This standard paperback belongs to the sequence in which Grimmjow's group threatens people with spiritual powers. The collected edition with the matching spine number groups volumes 67 to 69. A familiar number is not enough to identify the missing place on your shelf.
Spoilers — why this volume matters. Tap to reveal.
The threat described by VIZ extends beyond Ichigo and the Soul Reapers to anyone with spiritual power. That changes the practical meaning of defending the town: the enemy's selection rule includes people outside the immediate fighters. The official description does not establish the outcome of every encounter, so the buying note should not promise a complete victory here. This is a continuation of the attack, with a particularly costly edition mix-up attached. Omnibus 23 belongs to the much later Quincy war; substituting it would skip the conflict this paperback is actually continuing.
