Thousand-Year Blood War Part 2: The Separation ep. 14–26

Bleach 66 continues the Quincy war with Hitsugaya under Gigi's control. The immediate predicament changes what the defenders must confront, so this is a continuation of established relationships rather than a clean new battle route. Read the prior war volumes before choosing it for Mayuri's response. The safe buying expectation is a conflict in which a familiar fighter's presence no longer guarantees that he is acting for the familiar side.

Spoilers — why this volume matters. Tap to reveal.

The publisher describes Hitsugaya as Gigi's zombie and raises the question of Mayuri's response. That changes the moral and tactical shape of recognizing an ally: familiarity does not establish agency. Elsewhere, Yhwach's force moves toward the royal palace, so the local problem is not the whole war. The premise supports that split without supplying the outcome of either front. The volume matters for a change in what a known body signifies during battle. Treating every visible Soul Reaper as a freely choosing participant would miss the problem the description explicitly places before the defenders.
