While it was believed that Chapter 685 would wrap up "Bleach" manga series, latest rumors suggest that Chapter 686 will be the manga's finale. "Bleach" Chapter 686 is scheduled to air on Aug. 22, and it is speculated that Ichigo will bring Yhwach back to the present to kill him.
The upcoming chapter is said to feature a time jump, according to Manga Sail. Although "Bleach" Chapter 685 wrapped up with Ichigo defeating Yhwach, it seems the former did not kill the latter. Yhwach transported himself to the future to avoid death.
With Yhwach still alive, avid fans of the manga should expect another battle between the two. A likely scene in the upcoming chapter will focus on Ichigo pursuing Yhwach in the future, where he will see a peaceful Soul Society. As a result, Ichigo will be motivated to bring back Yhwach to the present before killing him.
Another possible scene will focus on Ichigo leading a normal life. Similarly, Kuchiki Rukia will become the new leader for Team 13.
Mangaka Tite Kubo is currently writing the finale chapter for "Bleach," according to Chatt Sports Net. Rumors are rife that the upcoming chapter will bring a special announcement from the series creator. While it is unclear on the content of the announcement, fans are expecting a continuation of the manga.
"Bleach" avid fans have discovered that the chapters towards the finale were rushed. The creator did not establish what happened to other characters like the full power of Kurosaki Isshin and the Bankai skill of Aizen.
There are speculations that Kubo and the development team have more chapters to provide for "Bleach." The publisher may have wanted to end the series earlier than expected.
Meanwhile, it is believed that "Bleach" manga series will be getting a spinoff title since there are plans to write a story of a prequel. The story will possibly feature the early days of Soul Society, although this information is yet to be confirmed.
"Bleach" Chapter 686 will air on Aug. 22. Here is a sneak peek for further information on the upcoming chapter:
