This is a fairly basic plot outline (I think) that fuses of the movies Memories of Nobody, Diamond Dust Rebellion and Fade to Black to create a single, cohesive idea. That’s the plan, anyway.
In the history of Soul Society, several Shinigami have been known to suffer from an unusual problem where regular close contact with a powerful Shinigami uncontrolled reiatsu has forcibly influenced their own power. This resulted in them developing zanpakuto that are identical to the stronger Shinigami rather than produce their true zanpakuto. When the first case resulted in a Shinigami driven mad and the death of many soldiers, a law was laid down that two of the same zanpakuto cannot be allowed to exist. The latest Shinigami to become a victim of this law was Kusaka Soujirou.
But as the nature of their execution was death by single combat between them and the true wielder of the zanpakuto, their souls didn’t move on to the next stage as expected. Instead they lingered within Soul Society’s atmosphere until they made contact with the King’s Seal; a near-sentient artefact of incredible power that is capable of manipulation space-time. For reasons unknown, the King’s Seal would transport these remnants out of Soul Society where they would end up where all lost souls go; the Valley of Screams.
The Valley of Screams contains souls that had fallen out of the cycle of transmigration and had forgotten who they were. They became faceless entities that do nothing more than exist and have a longing for any memories. When the murdered Shinigami were transported to the Valley, the Blanks converge upon them and used the memories within the broken remnants to recreate their bodies. It was through this method that the Shinigami were reborn, possessing knowledge of the Blanks as well as the King’s Seal.
Naturally, they desired revenge. In return for being killed by their own people, they decided that they were bring the worlds crashing together and steal the King’s Seal to create a new realm with themselves as rulers.
When they time came, Kusaka and others attacked the transport for the King’s Seal as it was being moved from its location and stole it. Hitsugaya, recognising his friend, abandoned his position to pursue. Not long after, the second stage of their plan commenced as the residents of the Valley used to Blanks to seal away the memories of Gotei 13; specifically all knowledge revolving around Kurosaki Ichigo. This would make the Gotei less vigilant despite Aizen’s betrayal and would make the humans appears as an unknown enemy during a dangerous times. Hitsugaya remains unaffected thanks to being outside of the SS.
And so, Ichigo, Hitsugaya and the rest of the gang need to track down the King’s Seal and stop the worlds from colliding whilst staying out of SS’ sights and dealing with the vengeful ex-Shinigami. Easier said than done.
Hm, that was like 80% backstory and 20% story. Oh well.
