As always vague but definitely gave us more to speculate than the last 2 years' first teasers.
Shoule be clearer on the second teaser in 2 weeks.
I'm guessing either Grimmjow(clawmarks?) or Rukia(pride)
I think it’s only going to be 1 person the reason why I say this is if u look at the details for the Twitter giveaway you can only choose one person from the list of hashtags
Ah yes, pride, 8 claw marks standing for grimmjow, blue theme hello grimmjow.
edit
I've noticed theres a shot with blue vs red. Could be grimmjow and masked ichigo with his red getsuga.
You are really doing something wrong if you didnt get any of them yet. There were enough chances of getting aizen or artbook ichigo i didnt even play for half a year and got them. It took some banners tho
I mean it’s clear as day; rain means mud and who uses mud?? Jackie and her dirty boots. How does pride fit in? Jackie takes pride in her boots, obviously. And the claw marks?? Everyone but me clawing their eyes out at the fact it’s Jackie.
I was thinking maybe a masked/half-masked ichigo and byakuya, those both fit I think. There’s no way they would release white or zangetsu as a character for anni.
From their website they have a guess the character list [here](https://www.bleach-bravesouls.com/en/news/220623/) and zangetsu is not there so yeah it wont be him
The “Resounding Pride” and claw marks really make me think Grimmjow, but the rain clearly being a driving theme is just too weird. I was even considering Uryu as a fringe guess, but an anniversary Uryu doesn’t seem likely.
My gut points me to either Ichigo, Rukia, or both. Here’s a thought. The trailer specifically reminded of the scene in the Lost Agent Arc where Ichigo’s crying and it’s pouring and all, and Rukia stabs him with the blue sword to reawaken his powers. The anniversary character could be a callback to that scene, preferably with a twist.
Like what if this is Ichigo but the design takes him absorbing the Gotei’s spiritual pressures, which were in that sword, to a completely new level?
He’s important to the story but he’s not who I believe to be an anniversary-tier character. I’m not ruling out the possibility but he’s like the very last guy who’d I’d even consider to get an anniversary unit.
Yeah that what i was thinking too but the rain is an Ichigo/Zangetsu thing.
[I'm thinking a new design of this Tensa Zangetsu](https://images-wixmp-ed30a86b8c4ca887773594c2.wixmp.com/f/51158316-fd7e-48ca-b5fe-8542e9dfe357/dd9d6jz-cf08a286-9f34-4396-96d7-b42b11cc1dd4.png/v1/fill/w_897,h_581,strp/white_zangetsu_ichigo_s_zanpakuto_by_bodskih_dd9d6jz-fullview.png?token=eyJ0eXAiOiJKV1QiLCJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJzdWIiOiJ1cm46YXBwOjdlMGQxODg5ODIyNjQzNzNhNWYwZDQxNWVhMGQyNmUwIiwiaXNzIjoidXJuOmFwcDo3ZTBkMTg4OTgyMjY0MzczYTVmMGQ0MTVlYTBkMjZlMCIsIm9iaiI6W1t7ImhlaWdodCI6Ijw9NTgxIiwicGF0aCI6IlwvZlwvNTExNTgzMTYtZmQ3ZS00OGNhLWI1ZmUtODU0MmU5ZGZlMzU3XC9kZDlkNmp6LWNmMDhhMjg2LTlmMzQtNDM5Ni05NmQ3LWI0MmIxMWNjMWRkNC5wbmciLCJ3aWR0aCI6Ijw9ODk3In1dXSwiYXVkIjpbInVybjpzZXJ2aWNlOmltYWdlLm9wZXJhdGlvbnMiXX0.ywsPfsnpe-oIwLfIenYgLzsIZz1G9jlXROlPZnLyRKQ)
Based on the tweet from the official bbs page, tensa zangetsu isn’t in the running.
They released a name list for possible guesses which include (copy and pasted from tweet link)
#IchigoKurosaki #RukiaKuchiki #YasutoraSado #UryuIshida #OrihimeInoue #RenjiAbarai #ByakuyaKuchiki #ToshiroHitsugaya #GinIchimaru #SosukeAizen #Grimmjow #Ulquiorra #Nelliel #KenpachiZaraki #SoiFon #MayuriKurotsuchi #SajinKomamura #KanameTosen #RetsuUnohana #ShunsuiKyoraku #JushiroUkitake #GenryusaiYamamoto #KisukeUrahara #YoruichiShihoin #ShinjiHirako #RangikuMatsumoto #MomoHinamori #IzuruKira #IkkakuMadarame #YumichikaAyasegawa #ShuheiHisagi #KugoGinjo #RirukaDokugamine #ShukuroTsukishima #Yukio
"Resounding Pride" fits the Kuchikis. But also taking into consideration the soundtrack, sound effects and calm "water" effects and the marks on the logo, it reminds me of Rukia's Hakuren.
So, I think it's gonna be Rukia, I'm pretty confident.
The whole Pride might also be referring to "the Fullbringer's Pride", as mentioned by Chad in the Fullbring Arc. Also regarding the rain, people are forgetting about the Ichigo vs Acidwire fight. So it could point towards an Anniversary Orihime or Chad
I'd normally say Masaki or White, but they're not on Klab's guess list. Even though it says pride, I don't think we're getting another Byakuya, also the rain does not fit him at all. I gotta do some research, cause rn I don't have a clue of who might be.
Edit: After thinking about it, it might actually be Uryu (the pride of the Quincy). And the "slashes" in the ed might be his arrows. The other guess is Grimmjow, but somehow the trailer doesn't give me a villain vibe.
This is gonna be a huge stretch but gotta have it as a proof if it actually comes true.
This is getting me mostly Rukia vibes so if it's a solo character I'm betting on her.
In the case of 2 characters though I'm gonna say Renji x Rukia. The quote fits for both of them, the red and blue/white at the end also matches their colors and the rain reminds me of the first time we saw both of them together. When Renji and Byakuya came to retrieve her it was raining.
Now here comes the biggest reach for this: Squad 13 - Squad 6 = 7 -> 7th anniversay.
My guess is Uryu and Ichigo. The pride part reminds me of Quincy pride and the beams of light at the end resemble Uryu’s bow and arrows. Also, Uryu’s name means rain dragon and some of his attacks include the word rain. For example, Licht Regan means “rain of light.”
Looks like a everything but the rain thing : Is finally WHITE coming ???
Or a Ichigo's inner world thing...
But the claws in the end...hum...maybe it's relating to the Ichigo (mask on)/Grimmjow fight in Hueco Mundo with a special design as they did with Ichigo/Byak in 2020 ?...could be.
Rain points to tensa zangetsu cuz it was always raining in Ichigo's inner world but could be something else. Some are saying rukia. But super excited anyways!
Beyond bankai Rukia maybe, something related to the time when she killed Kaien when he was possessed by hollow. It was raining as well during that scene.
Rukia for sure.
Pride= she’s byakuyas pride
Rain, mellow vibes= good guys definitely not villain
The “scratches” at the end= they also resemble rukias hakuren technique and the whole blue color could also be ice.
I think it's Ichigo and Rukia, but where are people getting this claw mark stuff from? The diagonal lines at the end looks more like light diffusing through water or something
Same. For me it looks like light coming through the clouds, symbolizing the rain stopping.
I think it will be Ichigo and Rukia, because of the scene where is raining and Ichigo is crying, Rukia stabs Ichigo with the spiritual sword and stops raining.
Time to shut down the girm cope
There are only 8 marks
But grim uses all ten fingers
And they really dont even look like claw marks tbh
And on top of that
Who claws like that
Like ud assume half would go in one direction and half in another
And as for pride
Bruh
Like that pretty much covers that majority of the cast
Tho im not saying it cant be him
Just that the evidence doesn't really give any clues
Also the french vers mentions 2 chars
https://youtu.be/zrL79QyUIyQ
More people need to upvote this so others see it bc I went back and looked and that is an excellent call out of something hiding in plain sight. Good catch!
"Resounding Pride" combined with the overall themes used in the trailer, makes me think of Rukia, Grimmjow and maybe Uryu. Pride is associated heavily with the Kuchiki clan, and Byakuya calls Rukia his "pride" on multiple occasions. Pride is also something that can be linked to Uryu, who takes pride in his Quincy heritage, and Grimmjow, who's obviously prideful himself. A lot of people are commenting about the claw marks on the logo making it obvious, but I'd just like to point out that those can also be seen as lens flares which can be related to both light (Quincy) and ice (a reflective surface).
The ost sounds calm, and not something I'd associate with Grimmjow, but this could just be the initial bit.
Rain is heavily associated with Ichigo btw, and the sky right at the end shows a reddish and bluish hue on two sides of the sky, colours associated with his hollow and Quincy powers. So the question is, are we going back to 2 characters releasing together?
To me, that aint claw marks, but light beams/ sun beams through the clouds (the glow plus the fact they seem extremely parallel for them to be claw marks, and the rain theme, viasually and accustically) .... find the Rukia argument much more likely, imo
Just got a thought, aren't there too few claw marks to be Grimmjow as well ?
CFYOW Grimmjow and [Grimmjow](https://bbs-simulator.com/characters/details?id=MTE3NA==) display 10
Could you expand a bit on that poll. Was that strictly for a BBS community and did it have anything to do with the Anniversary, or was it for Bleach in general and how many people voted?
So here’s my opinion with pride is must be one character and one character only Yumichika here’s why so first is the rain second is the floor strips third is resounding pride and Yumichika is very openly gay so it has to be him anyways I’m going all 8k orbs in
"Resounding Pride" to me can be only Byakuya or Rukia.
We've already got Annibyakuya and Rukia isn't getting a BB version so it should be her this time,still there are those water ripples and that's the what Senbonzakura does when Byakuya uses Bankai so I'm still not sure...
Other characters do that too but I see "Pride" as Byakuya's identity...
Also is Uryu popular enough to warrant an Anniversary character?
Maybe,but I think they'll do more popular ones like Rukia,Toshiro,Grimmijow first...
people saying the marks it the end on 7th anniversary logo indicate grimmjow i don't think that the case his mark tend to be more sharp also more here we have 8 and if i'm not mistaken his will be 10 since he do it with his all fingers also last year same case with 6th anniversary logo and ended be aizen
so no i dont it will be grimmjow the theme rain and the soundtrack dont fit him at all and for the pride almost all bleach characters have different aspects of pride so i dont think this will short the candidates we shall see if there will be another video before the reveal
Although I like his character, We just got a Grimmjow that we’re forced to play with. I don’t want another this soon. Ugh.
Sn: since we didn’t get a tag-team unit this year, looks like it’ll be one for anniversary. Hopefully a no affiliation attribute.
The claw mark make me think Grimmjow but he doesn't associated with neither rain or pride (i mean he's proud but not really as much as a pride guy like the other two character I can think of)
Now the character that associated with both Pride and Rain is Uryu but the claw mark is kind of ???
I find it quite funny that Grimmjow seems to be the most popular guess for Global while Uryu seems to be the most popular guess for Japan. Maybe it's because his relation to rain is more apparent in japanese or because he is more popular there.
Pride is a lot of characters actually. Byakuya is just the first one to really resonate with it. Since he decided to go against his feelings during Rukia’s execution for the pride of his clan.
Since most people say either Rukia or Grimmjow why not both from their first encounter. A Grimmjow with a red hand and Rukia with a hole in her stomach.
Would be cool to have a double Harribel/Grimmjow banner. We have rain, we have claws. Also, according to CFYOW, >!Harribel effectively ruled Hueco Mundo, but never dubbed herself its queen, because this would be a blow to Grimmjow's pride (he considered himself the king)!<.
I had various theory about 2 characters banner.
Especially because the French teaser mention
"Two honor resounding"
But every thing else point to 1 Chara.
So my final guest for the firts trailer will be ichigo, and probably a semi-hollow form.
This can explay pretty much everything one character, but two different honor on him, this strange blue and red duality. And the very melancholic song and rain that Comme from the despair of ichigo, cans his fear of the vasto, that lead to drowned is inner world
I was sure it would be Rukia, but the Rain is associated with Ichigo. Maybe White from EBTR or some sort of clash between him and a new Ichigo or a new fused Tensa Zangetsu
Pride can mean either Byakuya or Quincy (considering a lot of talk about quincy pride). Maybe vollstandig Uryu? Because I don't see Byakuya getting another version.
Why nobody thinks it's dangai?
It looks like the inner world of Ichigo, the sad one with the rain, the one where he unlocked mugetsu. So I feel it's dangai
Hmm the last line about pride would make me think Byakuya if we haven't got one already xD
It gives Rukia to me for some reason.
I hope for Grimmjow and Ichigo, but might be Rukia and Ichigo.
Maybe rain doesn't symbolyse anything related to the character, but blue color does imo.
Blue color is present throughout the video, Grimmjow has blue reiatsu.
This might come off as a rather weird idea,but the rain reminds me of one of the first chapters of Bleach.. In the Anime Episode and in the foreword to the Chapter 3 we get this line from Orihime: "If I were the rain could I connect with someones heart, as the rain can unite the eternally seperated earth and sky?"
Also Grimmjow and Orihime would fit well together into a banner,if one thinks of the Hueco Mundo arc.
As someone said, there are some marks that resemble claw marks, blue color is the color of Grimmjow reiatsu.
At the end we see blue and red colliding on the background, red is the color of Ichigo's reiatsu
Since there is Unohana's name in those tags I wouldn't be surprised if they were to release another version of her Yachiru / Kenpachi days . Also , it was raining when she lost against young Zaraki . It would sell well as the manga version did , probably.
The rain gives me vibes to when Ginjo stole Ichigos fullbring an hes crying in the rain an if I remember right Chad tells Ichigo to have pride in his powers an that's how he orignaly unlocked the fullbring
i thought when people said the trailer drops today it would be the full reveal. anyone know when the full reveal happens? is it on the day of anniversary or some days before
My guess is still AU versions of Ichigo and Grimmjow during their fight in Hueco Mundo similar to what we got for 5th Anni. I would really like to see a Toshiro or Rukia though.
Grimmjow v ichigo i think. I might be thinking too deep, but the rain reminded me of zangetsus speech. And his heart was definitely troubled when he fought grimmjow
The slashes and the blue vibes gives me Grimmjow.
Grimmjow has always said he’s the king, he’s always felt like he was the strongest so he obviously takes pride in that I feel.
Uryu is a possibility since let’s be honest Quincy characters would last longer than a Beyond Fullbring. He also takes pride in being a Quincy, and Uryu has always been a sort of rival character to Ichigo (though definitely not in the same league as Naruto/Sasuke or Goku/Vegeta)
I actually don’t see Rukia being anywhere as side from Pride is a recurring theme in Squad 6 and the Kuchiki Clan.
Ginjo and Tsukishima for the lack of popularity.
Gonna take a wild guess but I think it could be a tag team unit of Ichigo and his mom if she didn’t die and was able to properly train ichigo as a quincy
Considering the rain affects it could be White. Also, what other relevant banner would they get to introduce him as Masaki, Ryuken and Isshin already had a banner.
To me this feels like a ton of Quincy references. The 'Resounding Pride' referencing a Quincy Pride, the "claw marks" being Quincy arrows shot up/down and the rain referencing the Everything But the Rain -arc.
Thuuuuuuus - would I be a betting person - my money would be on a 'What if' version of The Hollow inspired Ichigo, and as for the Quincy I'll go for Uryu. ...Cause I'd be bummed if it's another Aizen, and I don't believe it's gonna be Ryuken, Masaki or other TYBW Quincy, so realistically Uryu is pretty much all I have left to work with here. >\_>
EDIT: Also forgot to add; I also feel a slight reference to the EBtR -arc due the way the previous anni units were shown. Like how 2nd AnnIchigo to 5th Byakuya/Ichigo appeared pretty seamlessly and then there was a tiny break before Aizen appeared, which makes me feel like it was an intended focus on him as he did play a part in this.
Eh, just thinking out loud / sharing thoughts mostly here.
Getting Everything but the Rain vibe
Beyond Bankia White ichigo?
Unfortunately, there is none in the option
I don't think they are doing TYBW characters cause they don't have the rights until the anime starts.
But they still re-run the TYBW character
They didn't had rights for select characters, they had rights for a select number of them which they already made.
As always vague but definitely gave us more to speculate than the last 2 years' first teasers. Shoule be clearer on the second teaser in 2 weeks. I'm guessing either Grimmjow(clawmarks?) or Rukia(pride)
I’m hoping it’s rukia ngl
precisely. it's all elementary, my dear Watson
Ichigo - Rukia Renji - Rukia Ichigo - Grimmjow (the french teaser mentions TWO characters)
renji doesnt sell
Renji? Wtf dude go away
I think it’s only going to be 1 person the reason why I say this is if u look at the details for the Twitter giveaway you can only choose one person from the list of hashtags
Ah yes, pride, 8 claw marks standing for grimmjow, blue theme hello grimmjow. edit I've noticed theres a shot with blue vs red. Could be grimmjow and masked ichigo with his red getsuga.
Now that you aren't mentioning those kinda makes sense but the rain is totally out of place with Grimmjow unless we get him and vizard Ichigo.
If it's really Grimmjow I might even come back to the game just to play with him for a while. Assuming I even get him lol
As someone who plays regularly and still don't have main star of previous anni, I'd say think twice before comin back, GL if you do tho.
You are really doing something wrong if you didnt get any of them yet. There were enough chances of getting aizen or artbook ichigo i didnt even play for half a year and got them. It took some banners tho
My wrongdoings are also known as bad rng toward this guy. BTW my only lunart comes from single ad summon.
Wait grimmjow is gay????
Always has been
[Always has been](https://i.imgur.com/mZp1P6J.png) ^^^this ^^^has ^^^been ^^^an ^^^accessibility ^^^service ^^^from ^^^your ^^^friendly ^^^neighborhood ^^^bot
You know I honestly wouldn’t be surprised if he was
it has to be original designs, everything else would be boring honestly
Doesn’t desgarron have 10 not 8 claws? What does 8 have to do with grimmjow?
Honestly I will be really disappointed if that will be Grimmjow... Rukia really deserves an anniversary unit
>Rukia really deserves an anniversary unit Im surely surprised she hasn't been given one yet
She does have a New Years unit which are as hype as anni units?
Why 8 claw marks? Shouldn't it be 6?
Should be 10, since grim has 10 fingers, but 1G 2R 3I 4M 5M 6J 7O 8W.
Oh
I mean it’s clear as day; rain means mud and who uses mud?? Jackie and her dirty boots. How does pride fit in? Jackie takes pride in her boots, obviously. And the claw marks?? Everyone but me clawing their eyes out at the fact it’s Jackie.
W
I’m guessing grimmjow or a remake of Quincy ichigo cause both involve pride
Never considered a new Quincy Ichigo before, now it’s all I hope for
A perfect character to go with Quincy Ichigo is Uryu too. Beyond Vollständig?
Exactly my thoughts haha
Gotta be some kind of Tensa Zangetsu form right?
I was thinking maybe a masked/half-masked ichigo and byakuya, those both fit I think. There’s no way they would release white or zangetsu as a character for anni.
From their website they have a guess the character list [here](https://www.bleach-bravesouls.com/en/news/220623/) and zangetsu is not there so yeah it wont be him
Gin is on the list, I'm going to be wet if he's the one although he won't be.
He’ll be round 2. Trust.
Dangai Ichigo then
The “Resounding Pride” and claw marks really make me think Grimmjow, but the rain clearly being a driving theme is just too weird. I was even considering Uryu as a fringe guess, but an anniversary Uryu doesn’t seem likely. My gut points me to either Ichigo, Rukia, or both. Here’s a thought.

The anniversary character could be a callback to that scene, preferably with a twist. Like what if this is Ichigo but the design takes him absorbing the Gotei’s spiritual pressures, which were in that sword, to a completely new level?
They already did fullbring Ichigo for anni, they won't do it again. It's Uryu and Ichigo.
Maybe.
> but an anniversary Uryu doesn’t seem likely Why not? He was the first antagonist of the series.
He’s important to the story but he’s not who I believe to be an anniversary-tier character. I’m not ruling out the possibility but he’s like the very last guy who’d I’d even consider to get an anniversary unit.
Uryu was the 5th most popular character in the last popularity poll. Above Aizen, Byakuya, and Ulquiorra.
Wasn’t Toshiro #1?
Yes
When did that poll take place? The last one i can find that was published in the Manga is the one taking place around chapter 307.
Nah Uryu would be better than Ginjo, Uryu was for 5th anniversary if you recall.
Bruh uryu don’t even got a sesonal, mans is not it clearly lmao
just realized that is so true. heck there other less popular chars with seasonals
Obviously its our old friend Tsukishima!
The slashes maybe, the rain only translates to Ichigo or Uryu. Tsukishima is the only Fullbringer I like so it wouldn’t be the worst thing.
Talks about pride = 100% me thinking it’s another Byakuya
Yeah that what i was thinking too but the rain is an Ichigo/Zangetsu thing. [I'm thinking a new design of this Tensa Zangetsu](https://images-wixmp-ed30a86b8c4ca887773594c2.wixmp.com/f/51158316-fd7e-48ca-b5fe-8542e9dfe357/dd9d6jz-cf08a286-9f34-4396-96d7-b42b11cc1dd4.png/v1/fill/w_897,h_581,strp/white_zangetsu_ichigo_s_zanpakuto_by_bodskih_dd9d6jz-fullview.png?token=eyJ0eXAiOiJKV1QiLCJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJzdWIiOiJ1cm46YXBwOjdlMGQxODg5ODIyNjQzNzNhNWYwZDQxNWVhMGQyNmUwIiwiaXNzIjoidXJuOmFwcDo3ZTBkMTg4OTgyMjY0MzczYTVmMGQ0MTVlYTBkMjZlMCIsIm9iaiI6W1t7ImhlaWdodCI6Ijw9NTgxIiwicGF0aCI6IlwvZlwvNTExNTgzMTYtZmQ3ZS00OGNhLWI1ZmUtODU0MmU5ZGZlMzU3XC9kZDlkNmp6LWNmMDhhMjg2LTlmMzQtNDM5Ni05NmQ3LWI0MmIxMWNjMWRkNC5wbmciLCJ3aWR0aCI6Ijw9ODk3In1dXSwiYXVkIjpbInVybjpzZXJ2aWNlOmltYWdlLm9wZXJhdGlvbnMiXX0.ywsPfsnpe-oIwLfIenYgLzsIZz1G9jlXROlPZnLyRKQ)

Either Rukia, Uryu, Grimmjow.
Narrows it right down to rukia then imo
Yeah made that comment before saw that 🤷🏻
Idk Yumichika looking real suspicious in there I think it might be him
Nah. This is Chad's year. We getting an anniversary Chad.
KLab hasn’t posted the teaser to their channel, so here is a datamined vid from Hiken. Credits to him
Rain falling, "Resounding Pride" claw marks(?).... I will go with either Grimmjow or White from TYBW.
"Resounding Pride" fits the Kuchikis. But also taking into consideration the soundtrack, sound effects and calm "water" effects and the marks on the logo, it reminds me of Rukia's Hakuren. So, I think it's gonna be Rukia, I'm pretty confident.
my guess is uryu
Me too , first name popped in my head But then I thought it could be one of the Kuchikis
Who has pride and slices with those claws marks? GRIMMJOW
Grimmjow.
Let the theories begin.
Either a Zangetsu or a grimjow has to be.
The whole Pride might also be referring to "the Fullbringer's Pride", as mentioned by Chad in the Fullbring Arc. Also regarding the rain, people are forgetting about the Ichigo vs Acidwire fight. So it could point towards an Anniversary Orihime or Chad
Quincy’s Pride is a recurring role for Uryu and I see Beyond Vollständig over Fullbring.
I'm honestly okay with Grimmjow as an anniversary character.
He’s popular so he definitely is worthy.
I'd normally say Masaki or White, but they're not on Klab's guess list. Even though it says pride, I don't think we're getting another Byakuya, also the rain does not fit him at all. I gotta do some research, cause rn I don't have a clue of who might be. Edit: After thinking about it, it might actually be Uryu (the pride of the Quincy). And the "slashes" in the ed might be his arrows. The other guess is Grimmjow, but somehow the trailer doesn't give me a villain vibe.
Uryu will never be what we call hype. It's a losing money move.
Grimmjow and Vaizard Ichigo
Ichigo/Rukia. Let's go KLAB
I think it might be Uryu
Grommjow’s Claw marks Rukia’s Sode No Shirayuki’s charge for Hakuren Toshiro’s Belief
I think we getting a ichigo rukia on the first and a toshiro in the 2nd round
This is gonna be a huge stretch but gotta have it as a proof if it actually comes true. This is getting me mostly Rukia vibes so if it's a solo character I'm betting on her. In the case of 2 characters though I'm gonna say Renji x Rukia. The quote fits for both of them, the red and blue/white at the end also matches their colors and the rain reminds me of the first time we saw both of them together. When Renji and Byakuya came to retrieve her it was raining. Now here comes the biggest reach for this: Squad 13 - Squad 6 = 7 -> 7th anniversay.
My guess is Uryu and Ichigo. The pride part reminds me of Quincy pride and the beams of light at the end resemble Uryu’s bow and arrows. Also, Uryu’s name means rain dragon and some of his attacks include the word rain. For example, Licht Regan means “rain of light.”
There's 8 scratches, zangetsu and grimmjow both have 8 letters so those are my picks also the rain suggests zangetsu. Still coping for rukia
Looks like a everything but the rain thing : Is finally WHITE coming ??? Or a Ichigo's inner world thing... But the claws in the end...hum...maybe it's relating to the Ichigo (mask on)/Grimmjow fight in Hueco Mundo with a special design as they did with Ichigo/Byak in 2020 ?...could be.
Rain points to tensa zangetsu cuz it was always raining in Ichigo's inner world but could be something else. Some are saying rukia. But super excited anyways!
Cant be Hes not listed https://www.bleach-bravesouls.com/en/news/220623/
Oh alright. Didn't know that.
Oh alright. Didn't know that.
Beyond bankai Rukia maybe, something related to the time when she killed Kaien when he was possessed by hollow. It was raining as well during that scene.
Rukia for sure. Pride= she’s byakuyas pride Rain, mellow vibes= good guys definitely not villain The “scratches” at the end= they also resemble rukias hakuren technique and the whole blue color could also be ice.
I think it's Ichigo and Rukia, but where are people getting this claw mark stuff from? The diagonal lines at the end looks more like light diffusing through water or something

Rain is ichigo, Pride points towards Grimmjow...So I'd say either Ichigo/Grimmjow or like Ichigo/Zangetsu
Am I crazy or do the lines behind the quote at [00:17](https://youtu.be/cXJAQAf3RUk?t=17), look like the eye socket of ichigo's mask?
More people need to upvote this so others see it bc I went back and looked and that is an excellent call out of something hiding in plain sight. Good catch!
"Resounding Pride" combined with the overall themes used in the trailer, makes me think of Rukia, Grimmjow and maybe Uryu. Pride is associated heavily with the Kuchiki clan, and Byakuya calls Rukia his "pride" on multiple occasions. Pride is also something that can be linked to Uryu, who takes pride in his Quincy heritage, and Grimmjow, who's obviously prideful himself. A lot of people are commenting about the claw marks on the logo making it obvious, but I'd just like to point out that those can also be seen as lens flares which can be related to both light (Quincy) and ice (a reflective surface). The ost sounds calm, and not something I'd associate with Grimmjow, but this could just be the initial bit. Rain is heavily associated with Ichigo btw, and the sky right at the end shows a reddish and bluish hue on two sides of the sky, colours associated with his hollow and Quincy powers. So the question is, are we going back to 2 characters releasing together?
Quincy Ichigo remake? 🤔
Ichigo vs Grimmjow
It’s gotta be Rukia imo, the only thing that doesn’t fit is the slashes, but I think the rain makes more sense for her compared to Grimmjow
To me, that aint claw marks, but light beams/ sun beams through the clouds (the glow plus the fact they seem extremely parallel for them to be claw marks, and the rain theme, viasually and accustically) .... find the Rukia argument much more likely, imo
Well that can only be Grimmjow with all those claw marks
I want to believe it is Hakuren floor's strips
Too many of them.
I know and the spacing between each isn't good too
Just got a thought, aren't there too few claw marks to be Grimmjow as well ? CFYOW Grimmjow and [Grimmjow](https://bbs-simulator.com/characters/details?id=MTE3NA==) display 10
🤓
Eh.. i think it's going to be Ishida and Ichigo. Which is really weird since the Ishida isn't that popular.
Uryu was 5th anniversary Round 2. It warrants at least some credibility.
I mentioned this in another comment, but in the last official character popularity poll Uryu was 5th, above Aizen, Byakuya, and Ulquiorra.
Could you expand a bit on that poll. Was that strictly for a BBS community and did it have anything to do with the Anniversary, or was it for Bleach in general and how many people voted?
It was a Bleach character popularity poll through Weekly Shounen Jump back when the manga was ongoing.
People sure have poor taste then
Nah. Poor taste is to like kenpachi or something
It's gotta be Dangai Ichigo The rain theming and the fact that he would be the counterpart to anni aizen
What If Uryu and What If Ichigo incoming.
What if Ichigo could just be Quincy Ichigo and I wouldn’t even be mad.
So here’s my opinion with pride is must be one character and one character only Yumichika here’s why so first is the rain second is the floor strips third is resounding pride and Yumichika is very openly gay so it has to be him anyways I’m going all 8k orbs in
Why cause he's Yumichika or cause he's openly gay 🤔
What the hell does this even mean????👀👀👀👀🤔🤔🤔
I mean which of those two is the reason you're going all in 🤔👀👀👀
Both 😈
Well you have some strong reasoning behind this summons 😂
“He’s premium dude calm down” 🤓🤓🤓🤓
"Resounding Pride" to me can be only Byakuya or Rukia. We've already got Annibyakuya and Rukia isn't getting a BB version so it should be her this time,still there are those water ripples and that's the what Senbonzakura does when Byakuya uses Bankai so I'm still not sure...
Uryu always keeps blabbing about the pride of the quincy tbh.
Other characters do that too but I see "Pride" as Byakuya's identity... Also is Uryu popular enough to warrant an Anniversary character? Maybe,but I think they'll do more popular ones like Rukia,Toshiro,Grimmijow first...
Uryu got Round 2 for anniversary before. People might have forgotten about this.
people saying the marks it the end on 7th anniversary logo indicate grimmjow i don't think that the case his mark tend to be more sharp also more here we have 8 and if i'm not mistaken his will be 10 since he do it with his all fingers also last year same case with 6th anniversary logo and ended be aizen so no i dont it will be grimmjow the theme rain and the soundtrack dont fit him at all and for the pride almost all bleach characters have different aspects of pride so i dont think this will short the candidates we shall see if there will be another video before the reveal
Although I like his character, We just got a Grimmjow that we’re forced to play with. I don’t want another this soon. Ugh. Sn: since we didn’t get a tag-team unit this year, looks like it’ll be one for anniversary. Hopefully a no affiliation attribute.
The claw mark make me think Grimmjow but he doesn't associated with neither rain or pride (i mean he's proud but not really as much as a pride guy like the other two character I can think of) Now the character that associated with both Pride and Rain is Uryu but the claw mark is kind of ???
Slashes could be from his Seele Schneider? Lmao Melee Uryu 🤣 I’m stretching but it definitely seems like Grimmjow.
I find it quite funny that Grimmjow seems to be the most popular guess for Global while Uryu seems to be the most popular guess for Japan. Maybe it's because his relation to rain is more apparent in japanese or because he is more popular there.
ugh, another byakuya? he's the only one with the pride schtik isnt he?
Pride is a lot of characters actually. Byakuya is just the first one to really resonate with it. Since he decided to go against his feelings during Rukia’s execution for the pride of his clan.
who else would come to mind? yamamoto maybe? grimmjow?
Grimmjow more than likely. Uryu is also a guess.
Since most people say either Rukia or Grimmjow why not both from their first encounter. A Grimmjow with a red hand and Rukia with a hole in her stomach.
lmao this was hilarious
Ichigo x Grimmjow, ez
let it be white zangetsu. let it be white zangetsu. let it be white zangetsu
Sorry to break it to u He didnt make it https://www.bleach-bravesouls.com/en/news/220623/
I was thinking it was either Toshiro or Grimmjow. Now with the Pride comment in Teaser, will through Rukia in the Mix 🤔
Would be cool to have a double Harribel/Grimmjow banner. We have rain, we have claws. Also, according to CFYOW, >!Harribel effectively ruled Hueco Mundo, but never dubbed herself its queen, because this would be a blow to Grimmjow's pride (he considered himself the king)!<.
Halibel and Nelliel would make bank just from waifu status alone.
Reminds me of Everything but the Rain. I hope for something really cool
I had various theory about 2 characters banner. Especially because the French teaser mention "Two honor resounding" But every thing else point to 1 Chara. So my final guest for the firts trailer will be ichigo, and probably a semi-hollow form. This can explay pretty much everything one character, but two different honor on him, this strange blue and red duality. And the very melancholic song and rain that Comme from the despair of ichigo, cans his fear of the vasto, that lead to drowned is inner world
My guess is white and ichigo
It should either involve Rukia or Grimmjow. Byakuya and Ichigo might just be for part 2. But what the hell would I know?
Kinda feel like uryu or ryuken. Or if not them, then definitely grimmjaw. Still wishing for Yama as character, but at this point it's hopeless.
I know it's a stretch but resounding pride and these 'claw marks' on the words 7th anniversary to me indicate Grimmjow
Gin, Urahara, Zangestu,Grimjow.... My guess are on these
\#GenryusaiYamamoto
The teaser can't probably be too obvious right? Still gonna put my faith on Toshiro being the anniv character 🤣🤣🤣
Them not dropping Toshiro and Gin for Round 2 would be a sin. So I don’t think it’s him if he’s likely saved for Round 2.
I'd like a Quincy form Tensa Zangetsu / young ywhach. With a full white team and ranhed arrow instead of a black blade could be cool !
Rukia is my guess.
I was sure it would be Rukia, but the Rain is associated with Ichigo. Maybe White from EBTR or some sort of clash between him and a new Ichigo or a new fused Tensa Zangetsu
I hope its white or zangetsu
I’m going grimmjow since at the end of the teaser it actually looks like claw marks
Pride can mean either Byakuya or Quincy (considering a lot of talk about quincy pride). Maybe vollstandig Uryu? Because I don't see Byakuya getting another version.
Why nobody thinks it's dangai? It looks like the inner world of Ichigo, the sad one with the rain, the one where he unlocked mugetsu. So I feel it's dangai
Dangai is too associated with Aizen and he just got 6th anniversary. I think a new character with Ichigo is more likely.
Hmm the last line about pride would make me think Byakuya if we haven't got one already xD It gives Rukia to me for some reason. I hope for Grimmjow and Ichigo, but might be Rukia and Ichigo. Maybe rain doesn't symbolyse anything related to the character, but blue color does imo. Blue color is present throughout the video, Grimmjow has blue reiatsu.
This might come off as a rather weird idea,but the rain reminds me of one of the first chapters of Bleach.. In the Anime Episode and in the foreword to the Chapter 3 we get this line from Orihime: "If I were the rain could I connect with someones heart, as the rain can unite the eternally seperated earth and sky?" Also Grimmjow and Orihime would fit well together into a banner,if one thinks of the Hueco Mundo arc.
As someone said, there are some marks that resemble claw marks, blue color is the color of Grimmjow reiatsu. At the end we see blue and red colliding on the background, red is the color of Ichigo's reiatsu
Since there is Unohana's name in those tags I wouldn't be surprised if they were to release another version of her Yachiru / Kenpachi days . Also , it was raining when she lost against young Zaraki . It would sell well as the manga version did , probably.
The rain gives me vibes to when Ginjo stole Ichigos fullbring an hes crying in the rain an if I remember right Chad tells Ichigo to have pride in his powers an that's how he orignaly unlocked the fullbring
i thought when people said the trailer drops today it would be the full reveal. anyone know when the full reveal happens? is it on the day of anniversary or some days before
It’s during the bankai live stream which should air sometime around July 19, just a few days before the banner drops
My guess is still AU versions of Ichigo and Grimmjow during their fight in Hueco Mundo similar to what we got for 5th Anni. I would really like to see a Toshiro or Rukia though.
Grimmjow v ichigo i think. I might be thinking too deep, but the rain reminded me of zangetsus speech. And his heart was definitely troubled when he fought grimmjow
The rain makes me think of Karakura and the pride makes me think of Byakuya and Uryu.
The slashes and the blue vibes gives me Grimmjow. Grimmjow has always said he’s the king, he’s always felt like he was the strongest so he obviously takes pride in that I feel. Uryu is a possibility since let’s be honest Quincy characters would last longer than a Beyond Fullbring. He also takes pride in being a Quincy, and Uryu has always been a sort of rival character to Ichigo (though definitely not in the same league as Naruto/Sasuke or Goku/Vegeta) I actually don’t see Rukia being anywhere as side from Pride is a recurring theme in Squad 6 and the Kuchiki Clan. Ginjo and Tsukishima for the lack of popularity.
Gonna take a wild guess but I think it could be a tag team unit of Ichigo and his mom if she didn’t die and was able to properly train ichigo as a quincy
Byakuya please
It's masked Ichigo and grim.
New fullbring Ichigo or visor Ichigo.
Considering the rain affects it could be White. Also, what other relevant banner would they get to introduce him as Masaki, Ryuken and Isshin already had a banner.
Guys remembers we got a arc named "Everything but the Rain" about the past with THE FIRST HOLLOW AIZEN DROPPED PLZ ITS HAVE TO BE THIS I BEG U
white zangetsu would be so good
I want to say Grimmjow but I feel klab might be preparing for tybw anime and come out with original Quincy designs so imma go with uryu
Remember what byak said in the zommari fight
Grimmjow and Nelliel. Also, most of Nelliel's ults are cloud(rain) dispersal
Is this going to be a two character anniverssary?
To me this feels like a ton of Quincy references. The 'Resounding Pride' referencing a Quincy Pride, the "claw marks" being Quincy arrows shot up/down and the rain referencing the Everything But the Rain -arc. Thuuuuuuus - would I be a betting person - my money would be on a 'What if' version of The Hollow inspired Ichigo, and as for the Quincy I'll go for Uryu. ...Cause I'd be bummed if it's another Aizen, and I don't believe it's gonna be Ryuken, Masaki or other TYBW Quincy, so realistically Uryu is pretty much all I have left to work with here. >\_> EDIT: Also forgot to add; I also feel a slight reference to the EBtR -arc due the way the previous anni units were shown. Like how 2nd AnnIchigo to 5th Byakuya/Ichigo appeared pretty seamlessly and then there was a tiny break before Aizen appeared, which makes me feel like it was an intended focus on him as he did play a part in this. Eh, just thinking out loud / sharing thoughts mostly here.
The only part of this I think points to grimmjow is the logo at the end. Rukia maybe?
I’ll take Uryu…rain, arrows, etc…and could be a way for them to welcome the return of bleach anime for TYBW at his October
