Bleach Vol. 36 — Manga Raw / Buy Official

Bleach Vol. 36 rewinds the clock 110 years to open the pivotal Turn Back the Pendulum arc. A young Kisuke Urahara is named captain of Squad 12, weathering the fierce resistance of his lieutenant Hiyori Sarugaki as he takes charge. Readers watch the foundations of the modern Soul Society being laid, from the birth of its research division to the bonds between its officers. Then, nine years later, a chilling incident erupts: souls begin vanishing without a trace across the Soul Society. This is the origin point of every rivalry to come, one of the most important flashbacks in the entire series.
