The Dark War Arc
The first story arc, it briefly introduces the Gotei 13 and the imminent threat: repeated attacks of organised squads of s. An elite task force of eight Captains is sent to eliminate the enemy's leadership, and in the meantime a large-scale assault is launched on the by the Hollow army.

The Spectre of the Past Arc
The second part of the story, it focuses more on the primary characters and elaborates upon the backstory of the setting. Reappearance of an enemy long thought dead launches the plot into motion.

Conception
The alternate universe which serves as the setting of Bleach: Dark and Light was created due to the limitations the canon storyline places on fanfiction which attempts not to contradict any of its elements.

Hollows were established as the first antagonists per User:Stylx's recommendation, in order to reinstate them as powerful enemies they had once been in the canon continuity.
