Two years had passed since the conclusion of the Winter War. All of Aizen's forces and the man himself fell in the final battle against the Thirteen Protection Squads, although the Vaizard had to sacrifice themselves for victory. Hougyoku was also destroyed in the heat of battle, bringing an end to Aizen's ambition and excluding the possibility of something like that ever happening again.

Gradually, peace and natural order returned to the spirit world. Soul Society finally recovered and picked the new Central Forty-Six, although the positions of three captains remain vacant to this day. The hollow attacks in Karakura Town returned to how they always were, easily manageable by a single shinigami. With the death of Aizen and his Espada, Hueco Mundo no longer posed a direct threat to the other dimensions. Grimmjow Jaggerjaques, the only surviving Espada member and the strongest of the few remaining arrancar, did not show any interest in starting a new battle and instead formed his own kingdom in the former palace of Las Noches.

However, while all seemed well, the destruction of Hougyoku made a strong impact upon all spirits, among which was the reappearance of Bounto and random people obtaining Quincy powers. A never seen before soul class has made its presence known in the real world, but all attempts at contact were unsuccessful and their purpose remains unknown.
