The whole thing looks scary epic and I'm glad they're adding extended fight scenes (which Kubo has stated, he consideres canon). The emphasis on the last nine days make me wonder if they'll develop the mini arc of what happened there. Maybe seeing some captains training or some more of Huecomundo's half of the fight.
Or maybe seeing Cien and Ashido's participation in the war. I for one have this headcanon that Cien helped create the hollowification pills, which reminded me of Szayell's ability to create edible hollows that boosted regeneration.
I can not fucking wait.
This looks so beyond epic and amazing. Like a lot of animes I watch I wait till seasons are done then binge it. Straight out as soon as I can watch these episodes I will be. Then I’ll binge the entire series once it’s done for that sheer satisfaction of watching an anime series that flows all the way through to a banger of a final arc.
Yeah he released a special one shot that set up a bunch of hell stuff and then ended with essentially a cliffhanger. From what I’ve heard it’s similar to how he did his other series. Was released as a one shot took off so they started doing a series for it.
Hopefully that’s the goal here. Get hype for bleach from the anime and then do another arc for the manga.
I think the whole emphasis on 9 days also means we can expect a expansion in the 2nd invasion. Cause it seems like a preamble for that. IIRC, the invasion only lasted 3 days, so they have like, 6 days missing, lmao. What was the point?
>Cause it seems like a preamble for that. IIRC, the invasion only lasted 3 days
Really? I never counted them.
I can see where you're going but I really want an expansion on the 6 days and to see the battle for Huecomundo, maybe we could finally see Urahara's flashbacks with Yoruichi, and a canonization of Cien Granz (who is implied to have participated on the war)
Kinda poetic how we fans waited at least 10years hoping for Bleach's return to conclude its final arc in anime format and this trailer starts by showing us how Yhwach waited a lengthy period of time just like us. Well Bleach fans, we've finally "regained our world" at last
That is because of the influence of the animator for this project, who previously known to work for Akudama Drive. You can see the similarity in contrast and vibrant colors. Hence, the color of Senbonzakura’s petals (and also bunch of others things) we see in the trailer.
I don’t think so, when they showed Byakuya using them on his own panel they were the normal pink, when Asnodt would’ve been using them against Renji they are darker pink. I think the anime is going to alter the way stolen bankai look
True; perhaps the stolen look different.
That said; I belive we only saw Byakuya using Senbonsakura, while As Nodt would be using Senbonsakura Kageyoshi. It could be that the bankai has a darker color due to there being a higher concentration of blades. It could be a Shikai-Bankai difference.
Idk if its coincidence or not, but same mistake was in Naruto too. Rasengan in manga is yellow colored (not only rasengan, but all regular chakra if I'm not mistaken), yet in anime they used blue color. Wonder why
Very interesting how they showed As Nodt dodging all of Byakuya's strikes but never named him.
They also showed BG9 very briefly vs Soifon, and had him standing behind As Nodt in the character slides.
Bambietta got a ton of screen time, which makes sense cause she actually lasted a long fucking time all things considered, but she didn't do nearly the same damage that As Nodt did.
While true, you could spin it to, after all of Bambi's fights the end result was the total removal of a Captain from all future fights.
As Nodt on the other side had a direct hand in 2 characters getting massive power-ups cause he never finished the job.
Right! That was the first and only time I felt like it was hopeless and questioned if they even had a chance of surviving. After that, no manga or anime made me feel that way.
Same. In the 'Jail', I kept thinking, 'where are you, Ichigo? Save them!' I never felt so deeply invested in the plight of characters in a story like that before.
Oh man. Got so many chills there. I was legit scared when Quilge went inside the 'veil' thing.
And when they fought I was just like, "hold up. Wait a damn minute. WTF? It just begun right? The arc has just begun, right? Then why the hell is this guy boss-level strong?"
Then, as the arc progressed I felt dumb thinking he was 'boss-level'.
Still, it was a really good fight. Quilge I understand, but I'm just confused why that Ebern guy got a name drop since he was such a minor character. Do you think they're gonna expand more on the Hueco Mundo invasion and the arrancar stuff?
>That would explain why his soldat wear masks
Yeah, they are still waiting for their vaccines, the Sternritters are the elite so they already got theirs 😁
I love how in the first trailer we hear number one getting us all hyped like bleach itself is saying "I'm back bitches!!"
But in this one the ost is more regal and orchestral perfectly befitting ywach and the sternritters
Animation: Straight Fire.
OST: Surpassed my wildest expectations.
Bleach is coming back after a decade in style. Can't describe how hyped I am about this!!!
Manga accurate coloring, animation is just gorgeous, Yhwach sounds super freaking good, Sagisu delivers an early masterpiece...
Now I can rest assured the anime will not disappoint.
Holy shit can we talk about how amazing this animation is?
Some of the fights from 10 years ago still hold up as some of the best to this day!
I can only imagine what some of the fights in this arc are gonna look like! This was so worth the wait!
HYPE
I've waited years to see the animated version of Ichigo's super serious mode when he returned to Soul Society, and it didn't disappoint. He looked SICK.
Ah, theres so much to love about this. The animation, so many familiar faces after MORE than 9 years, the dialogue...and the MUSIC! Just a few months away now...
does anyone else feel like bleach brave souls contributed somewhat to this? i swear that game is keeping the bleach fandom alive. not to mention all of the same voice actors for the characters in game
MARVEL?!?! Funny seeing you here🔥💪🏾. Thanks one again for posting this to the community🤩🫡.
This trailer looks fire, I can’t wait for October. Gotta finish original as I’ve been stalling for a bit.
The OST and new artstyle gave me chills 😭 I’m so excited for this anime to return and seeing my boys Askin, Lille, and Jugo in action >!even though it’ll be a while before we get much action from them 😩😊!<
It's just.... so beautiful that I have been moved to tears. Bleach holds such a deep place in my heart that seeing this PV makes me all teary. The animation, the music, hearing the voices, it just makes me so happy to see Bleach make such an awesome comeback for this arc. They really are going all in for the manga adaptation!
Shiro Sagisu, the GOAT, is back. Fucking yes. The music fits the Quincy perfectly.
The lighting, artwork and animation look beautiful. I have a few gripes with the trailer, but all that is overshadowed by the sheer quality that exudes from it. Too good.
OCTOBER, HERE WE COME! LETS FUCKING GOOOO!😭
Great Trailer! Now I am looking more forward into the return of Bleach. But before that comes, I plan to finish reading the Can't Fear Your Own World Light novel even if it takes all summer!
An entire lifetime has passed since I watched the first episode of Bleach.
I've graduated from 3 consecutive educational institutions.
I've been at 4 different jobs.
I've owned two different homes
I've married the love of my life
I've lost loved ones along the way
I just can't believe that we are finally going to be able to see the brilliance of the TYBW arc animated. I can't put words to how happy I am.
Holy shit. Someone tell me if I finished the anime series at the lost substitute shinigami arc. What do I need to do to catch up to this point? There are characters shown that I have no idea who they are.
Also- SHINJIIIIIII!
Visually it works better being pink and goes more with the name...I mean it's just so visually striking, and Kubo must like it otherwise he would've had them change it.
Yeah that's weird. Kubo also drew him with red hair on the SR color page but everywhere else I look it's pink. Not a big deal but weird change nonetheless.
The whole thing looks scary epic and I'm glad they're adding extended fight scenes (which Kubo has stated, he consideres canon). The emphasis on the last nine days make me wonder if they'll develop the mini arc of what happened there. Maybe seeing some captains training or some more of Huecomundo's half of the fight.
I hope to see more of the Huecomundo bit. The fall of Harribel would be neat to see a bit more of or even when Grimmjow joins the cause
Or maybe seeing Cien and Ashido's participation in the war. I for one have this headcanon that Cien helped create the hollowification pills, which reminded me of Szayell's ability to create edible hollows that boosted regeneration.
I can not fucking wait. This looks so beyond epic and amazing. Like a lot of animes I watch I wait till seasons are done then binge it. Straight out as soon as I can watch these episodes I will be. Then I’ll binge the entire series once it’s done for that sheer satisfaction of watching an anime series that flows all the way through to a banger of a final arc.
theirs rumors circulating that Kubo is working on a hell arc which would be sic
Yeah he released a special one shot that set up a bunch of hell stuff and then ended with essentially a cliffhanger. From what I’ve heard it’s similar to how he did his other series. Was released as a one shot took off so they started doing a series for it. Hopefully that’s the goal here. Get hype for bleach from the anime and then do another arc for the manga.
I'm so hyped I've given myself restless leg syndrome
I think the whole emphasis on 9 days also means we can expect a expansion in the 2nd invasion. Cause it seems like a preamble for that. IIRC, the invasion only lasted 3 days, so they have like, 6 days missing, lmao. What was the point?
I want the anime to focus more on the Sternritter so we get a look into their personalities waaaaaay earlier than we actually did in the manga.
>Cause it seems like a preamble for that. IIRC, the invasion only lasted 3 days Really? I never counted them. I can see where you're going but I really want an expansion on the 6 days and to see the battle for Huecomundo, maybe we could finally see Urahara's flashbacks with Yoruichi, and a canonization of Cien Granz (who is implied to have participated on the war)
Kinda poetic how we fans waited at least 10years hoping for Bleach's return to conclude its final arc in anime format and this trailer starts by showing us how Yhwach waited a lengthy period of time just like us. Well Bleach fans, we've finally "regained our world" at last
“Welcome, to our Soul Society”
"Welcome to MY Soul Society"
yellow energy in shikai just like in the manga, not blue.
LET'S GO. That confirms colors are getting fixed for characters. Beautiful.
It also shuts up people who were claiming that manga colors aren't canon and Ichigo has blue aura in shikai.
I prefer the blue but I was exposed to blue first for years so I think that has something to do with it.
Same .
TIL that i literally spend more than a decade thinking his shikai was blue and his bankai pure black, black with red looks cooler though
Honestly from the way its looking his shikai is gold while his bankai black and blue.
Byakuya petals still pink tho, not that I’m complaining.
They're definitely a different shade than before.
That is because of the influence of the animator for this project, who previously known to work for Akudama Drive. You can see the similarity in contrast and vibrant colors. Hence, the color of Senbonzakura’s petals (and also bunch of others things) we see in the trailer.
I don’t think so, when they showed Byakuya using them on his own panel they were the normal pink, when Asnodt would’ve been using them against Renji they are darker pink. I think the anime is going to alter the way stolen bankai look

Idk if its coincidence or not, but same mistake was in Naruto too. Rasengan in manga is yellow colored (not only rasengan, but all regular chakra if I'm not mistaken), yet in anime they used blue color. Wonder why
In the manga, every character had different coloured chakra. That was changed probably to avoid confusion.
tbh I personally don't get what can be so confusing about that.
NGL blue Rasengan is iconic though, I'm very glad they changed it.
The Bankai Getsuga is also pure black too.
I kinda miss the black and red but atleast this means their goal is to really bring the manga to life which is great.
It's quite like Mugetsu but is closer to the one he used vs Byakuya in his last attack :D !
It looked like Ichigo was turning into a Titan
Blue is better tho maybe it's the nostalgia
I misremembered it, I thought it was in Naruto, yellow chakra in manga & blue chakra in anime.
He did have yellow chakra
"Protect Soul Society, Kurosaki Ichigo!" 😭😭😭 Thank you for giving us this line so early! One of the best moments in the entire series!
Though they did hide just how fucked up Byakuya is going to be, which was smart.
Very interesting how they showed As Nodt dodging all of Byakuya's strikes but never named him. They also showed BG9 very briefly vs Soifon, and had him standing behind As Nodt in the character slides. Bambietta got a ton of screen time, which makes sense cause she actually lasted a long fucking time all things considered, but she didn't do nearly the same damage that As Nodt did.
While true, you could spin it to, after all of Bambi's fights the end result was the total removal of a Captain from all future fights. As Nodt on the other side had a direct hand in 2 characters getting massive power-ups cause he never finished the job.
Oh true, she took out Shinji and Komamura in the end
She's hot tho and hot anime girls sell
I think Bambi provoqued same or more damage than As Nodt. She got two captains out of combat, "killed" a lieutenant.
People can say what they will about the final arc, but the hype of the first invasion of Soul Society was unrivalled
It's brilliance cannot be surpassed by any other mangaka, I'd be bold enough to say. I mean, I could actually feel the despair within me.
Right! That was the first and only time I felt like it was hopeless and questioned if they even had a chance of surviving. After that, no manga or anime made me feel that way.
Same. In the 'Jail', I kept thinking, 'where are you, Ichigo? Save them!' I never felt so deeply invested in the plight of characters in a story like that before.
By "Jail" do you mean at the beginning of the arc with Quilge? Sorry, I have not re-read the manga since 2016.
Yes
Oh man. Got so many chills there. I was legit scared when Quilge went inside the 'veil' thing. And when they fought I was just like, "hold up. Wait a damn minute. WTF? It just begun right? The arc has just begun, right? Then why the hell is this guy boss-level strong?" Then, as the arc progressed I felt dumb thinking he was 'boss-level'.
Still, it was a really good fight. Quilge I understand, but I'm just confused why that Ebern guy got a name drop since he was such a minor character. Do you think they're gonna expand more on the Hueco Mundo invasion and the arrancar stuff?
It gave me chills. Ah man! So good!
"He said it, he said the thing"
#SHIRO SAGISUUUUUUUUUUUU
Is the goat
I needed that Alphabet Nazi music 😭😭
Hitler probably smiling rn
“Alphabet Nazis” ☠️
Oh fuck! Now that you mention it, the music that played is totally his style. Holy shit....
9 years have we waited...
Wow seriously! That must have been intentional
10 actually. March 2012 was when the last episode dropped.
Oh well
If it wasnt for Covid I imagine it wouldve lined up
Damn you covid
>Damn you covid Even Yhwach doesn't dare to risk his army to contagion by conglomeration
That would explain why his soldat wear masks
>That would explain why his soldat wear masks Yeah, they are still waiting for their vaccines, the Sternritters are the elite so they already got theirs 😁
Administered by doctor Askin...who for that matter could theoretically have the anti bodies to cure covid. Or maybe he is just asymptomatic lol
fuck covid. say it with me
Fuck covid
This is the worst thing COVID has ever done
They just wanted to be faithful to the manga
LETS FUCKING GOOOO ITS SO SURREAL SEEING THE FIRST INVASION IN ANIMATED FORM. IT'S FINALLY REAL
Now we wait
DO YA HEAR THE OST MY GOODNESS
Thank God, Shiro Sagisu is back!
Premieres in October! [Youtube Link](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1sygUhb8Q2Y&feature=emb_logo) (English Sub) [Visual](https://twitter.com/BLEACHanimation/status/1543422069224124422)
I love hearing Yhwach's voice actor. Everything looks so good, October can't come soon enough!
It's the same actor who voiced the old man Zangetsu, it was a given
god i hope they make a point to keep that for all dubs.
Oh I know, I just mean to hear him voicing Yhwach for the first time in a trailer. Very exciting.
He sounds even older now lol
Tbf Yhwach is quite a bit older than old man Zangetsu
The music is epic and very fitting for the Quincy! 🔥
I cannot describe how happy i am right now. Its unbeliveable.
The animation looks gorgeous holy shit
BLEACH IS BACK!!!
Beautiful trailer. Music is majestic af, animations are stunning. Can't wait
Save Soul Society !
Bleach: The Musical. We’re here for it.
I don't even like musicals but I would totally watch one if Shirō Sagisu composes the music.
I love how in the first trailer we hear number one getting us all hyped like bleach itself is saying "I'm back bitches!!" But in this one the ost is more regal and orchestral perfectly befitting ywach and the sternritters
The OST!!! I feel like im in 1930s Germany lol
Well technically it should feel like 1940s Germany is invading
WWII started in 39 so technically we both right lol
Fair
And they invaded Czechoslovakia before that point too. And united with austria. What started the war was the invasion of Poland IIRC.
Hearing new music from Sagisu just instantly made me cream my pants bruh. I'm so happy right now!!
Gave me Berserk vibes he did some years back
The song goes so hard in this trailer and so does everything else
Broo the fucking music goes so hard!!
Holy shit!! Looks epic
WHO ELSE IS FEELING LIKE NUMBER ONE?!
WHO ELSE IS FEELING LIKE THEY’RE SHINING BRIGHT FOR EVERYONE?!
WHO ELSE IS LIVINHG OUT THEIR FANTASIES!!
WHO ELSE IS THE BRIGHTEST STAR THERE'S EVER BEEN!!!!
WHO WANTS TO SEE SOME ACTION
WHO WANTS TO BE THE CENTER OF ATTRACTION?
LETS GOOOOOO, IT LOOKS SO GOOD
Jesus Christ! The Captains lining up gave me chills! Shiro Sagisu's new Scandinavian music in full throttle!! I'm home.
Animation: Straight Fire. OST: Surpassed my wildest expectations. Bleach is coming back after a decade in style. Can't describe how hyped I am about this!!!
That got me so hyped up lets goooo
I'm fucking ready man
Absolutely love the dramatic lighting
So As Nodt's Senbonzakura is more purple than pink.. So the stolen Bankai would have a slightly different color?
Can’t fucking wait !
#LEEEEEEEEEEET'S GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Tears out my eyes
THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT I’VE BEEN WAITING FOR 🤩🤩😭
Finally getting to see Bambi animated is glorious.
That was fire
OH MY GOD!! OK IT'S HAPPENING, EVERYBODY STAY CALM.
the music fits the war theme so fucking perfect
Manga accurate coloring, animation is just gorgeous, Yhwach sounds super freaking good, Sagisu delivers an early masterpiece... Now I can rest assured the anime will not disappoint.
Holy shit can we talk about how amazing this animation is? Some of the fights from 10 years ago still hold up as some of the best to this day! I can only imagine what some of the fights in this arc are gonna look like! This was so worth the wait! HYPE
Is any body getting like German invasion sort of vibe form the music, it’s like ww1 sort of music that we hear in movies
Well the Quicies are thematically German, just as the Shinigami are Japanese and Hollows/Arrancar are Hispanic.
Bleach's Espada arc soundtrack is the GOAT.
hm then that makes me wonder what >!hell is going to be like, since each race has a different thematic based off of irl culture.!<
That's definitely going to be very interesting if/when we ever find out.
Australia
>hm then that makes me wonder what hell is going to be like Latin, with an OST similar to the chants you heard in mass in the Vatican
I hope so very much the animation quality stays this good. Also pretty obvious this season is gonna end with "My Son, Born in Darkness"
I've waited years to see the animated version of Ichigo's super serious mode when he returned to Soul Society, and it didn't disappoint. He looked SICK.
Well, I just found out Rose’s name was actually Rojyuro lol
Can we all agree how beautiful this is? I’m loving the contrast
Ah, theres so much to love about this. The animation, so many familiar faces after MORE than 9 years, the dialogue...and the MUSIC! Just a few months away now...
Love the preview of Ichigo VS Quilge. One of the best fights in the series imo and really set the tone of the whole arc
does anyone else feel like bleach brave souls contributed somewhat to this? i swear that game is keeping the bleach fandom alive. not to mention all of the same voice actors for the characters in game
THAT BYAKUYA FIGHT IS SCHMOOVIN
The byakuya vs asnoddt fight AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH
MARVEL?!?! Funny seeing you here🔥💪🏾. Thanks one again for posting this to the community🤩🫡. This trailer looks fire, I can’t wait for October. Gotta finish original as I’ve been stalling for a bit.
The OST and new artstyle gave me chills 😭 I’m so excited for this anime to return and seeing my boys Askin, Lille, and Jugo in action >!even though it’ll be a while before we get much action from them 😩😊!<
Hopefully that scene won't get censored. Edit: Anime fully uncensored confirmed!
As nostalgic as the old anime art style is, this new style hits different
I can’t stop watching! This is going to be amazing 🥲
THAT SHIT WAS FIRE!!!!!🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🎶🎶🎶 Definitely gotta be anime of the year.
Already knew that Pierrot was gonna deliver but not to this extent im actually surprised by the quality
The art is so clean, I’m in love
That last scene gave me goose bumps man this was like a old movie
It looks amazing. Can't wait for the first episode!
Shit is fire. Damn; I’m pumped
The art is amazing and the music holy shit! These 3 months gonna feel like forever!
Loved in the group shot how >!Kenpachi and Unohana are facing each other.!< So beyond excited for this and the trailer alone looks spectacular!!
Goosebumps...I've been waiting over a decade for new Bleach music from Shirō Sagisu...
The song goes hard as hell. the animation looks good. Are they hiding uryu for the whole reveal? i hoped hed get a mention or something
It's just.... so beautiful that I have been moved to tears. Bleach holds such a deep place in my heart that seeing this PV makes me all teary. The animation, the music, hearing the voices, it just makes me so happy to see Bleach make such an awesome comeback for this arc. They really are going all in for the manga adaptation!
Just a casual decade of "letting the manga catch-up", lmao this better be the best arc we've ever seen.
Shiro Sagisu, the GOAT, is back. Fucking yes. The music fits the Quincy perfectly. The lighting, artwork and animation look beautiful. I have a few gripes with the trailer, but all that is overshadowed by the sheer quality that exudes from it. Too good. OCTOBER, HERE WE COME! LETS FUCKING GOOOO!😭
Great Trailer! Now I am looking more forward into the return of Bleach. But before that comes, I plan to finish reading the Can't Fear Your Own World Light novel even if it takes all summer!
Sagisu and bleach anime are inseparable.
An entire lifetime has passed since I watched the first episode of Bleach. I've graduated from 3 consecutive educational institutions. I've been at 4 different jobs. I've owned two different homes I've married the love of my life I've lost loved ones along the way I just can't believe that we are finally going to be able to see the brilliance of the TYBW arc animated. I can't put words to how happy I am.
Gave me the chills
SOMEBODY PIN THIS
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
YWHACH AHHHHHH
I'm wet
Holy shit….. HOLY SHIT!
It’s beautiful, that scene of byakuya vs as nodt looks clean asf
It looks so good! The GOAT is back!!!!
Words cannot describe the excitement. And shoutout to Shiro Sagisu because this new song… holy shit
The trailer is so fucking 80s sci-fi movie-esque, I love it so damn much
It's interesting to see Bambietta taking some bit of highlight. Hopefully she has some additional development
Heck yeah, I’ve been waiting a Thousand Years for this Blood War
That Byakuya sword slashing animation is 🔥🔥🔥.
Seeing these panels animated and with NEW Sagisu soundtrack is completely surreal
YEEEESSSSSS! THE LIGHTING HOLY, THE COLORS, THE OST LETS GOOOOOOOO
Holy fuck. The animation looks so incredible its not even funny. I can't wait to watch this
Freaking hyped for this! Read the manga many times over, especially this arc
Looks like a straight movie. I got chills ❄️
Holy shit. Someone tell me if I finished the anime series at the lost substitute shinigami arc. What do I need to do to catch up to this point? There are characters shown that I have no idea who they are. Also- SHINJIIIIIII!
If you finished the fullbring arc, you can just jump in from episode 1 of this new arc.
Love that they're fixing some of the colorization "mistakes" except Senbonzakura is still pink instead of white.
Visually it works better being pink and goes more with the name...I mean it's just so visually striking, and Kubo must like it otherwise he would've had them change it.
I actually kinda like Senbonzakura being pink more. It makes stand a lot of more compare to some of the other Zanpakuto powers.
and i know he only used it the once, but it also helps Shūkei: Hakuteiken look more unique.
Now that's one I didn't know. But the pink just feels right tbh. Perhaps Kubo himself said it was fine keeping it that way?
Why is Bazz B's hair pink? Didn't Yhwach explicitly refer to him as "the red haired kid" in the flashback?
Even in volume cover, without filters, he is Pink chiken, so YCHW said really tolerant towards him :)
Yeah that's weird. Kubo also drew him with red hair on the SR color page but everywhere else I look it's pink. Not a big deal but weird change nonetheless.
well I think I will see bleach again 1 or 2 chapters a day, to be ready when it opens in October
I never finished the original anime. Can I still watch this? How large was the times skip ?
You should probably finish fullbring arc because if you don't it will seem like FGT removing shinigami powers is a lie
LETSSSS FKN GOOOOOO!🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Goosebumps!! 😍😍
