Bleach Episodio 309 is the last episode of the anime series Bleach, based on the manga of the same name by Tite Kubo. It aired on March 27, 2012 in Japan and on July 13, 2014 in the United States. In this episode, Ichigo Kurosaki, the protagonist of the series, faces off against Sosuke Aizen, the main antagonist of the series, in a climactic battle that decides the fate of the world.

The episode begins with Ichigo and Aizen clashing their swords in a fierce exchange of blows. Aizen, who has fused with the Hogyoku, a powerful artifact that grants him near-godlike abilities, mocks Ichigo for being unable to defeat him. Ichigo, who has achieved a new form of power called Final Getsuga Tensho, remains calm and confident. He tells Aizen that he has accepted his fate and is ready to sacrifice everything to stop him.

As the fight continues, Aizen unleashes his most devastating attack, Fragor, which creates a massive explosion that engulfs Ichigo. However, Ichigo emerges unscathed from the blast, surprising Aizen. Ichigo then reveals that his Final Getsuga Tensho technique allows him to become one with his sword and use its ultimate attack, Mugetsu. He swings his sword down and creates a dark slash that cuts through Aizen’s body.

Aizen falls to the ground, seemingly defeated. Ichigo collapses as well, losing his powers as a consequence of using Mugetsu. However, before he can celebrate his victory, he notices that Aizen is still alive and regenerating from his wounds. Aizen declares that he is immortal and that no one can surpass him. He prepares to finish off Ichigo with a final blow.

At that moment, Urahara Kisuke, a former captain of the Soul Society and an ally of Ichigo, intervenes and activates a seal that he had planted on Aizen before his transformation. The seal binds Aizen’s body and suppresses his power. Urahara explains that he had anticipated Aizen’s fusion with the Hogyoku and devised a way to counter it. He tells Aizen that he has lost the Hogyoku’s favor and that he will be imprisoned for eternity.

Aizen refuses to accept his defeat and curses Urahara for interfering. He claims that he is the only one who can stand at the top of creation and that he will never give up on his ambition. Urahara ignores his ranting and bids him farewell. He then turns to Ichigo and congratulates him for saving the world. He tells him that he should be proud of himself and that he has earned his respect.

Ichigo thanks Urahara for his help and smiles. He then looks at the sky and sees his friends and allies who have come to witness the end of the battle. They cheer for him and express their relief and gratitude. Ichigo feels happy and relieved as well. He realizes that he has fulfilled his promise to protect everyone and that he has no regrets.

The episode ends with Ichigo losing consciousness and falling into Rukia Kuchiki’s arms, one of his closest friends and a Soul Reaper like him. She holds him gently and tells him that he did well. She then fades away from his sight as he loses his ability to see Soul Reapers. The screen fades to black as Ichigo says goodbye to her in his mind.
