BLEACH: Thousand-Year Blood War anime has officially confirmed that Part 3, titled The Conflict, will begin broadcasting in 2024, and Viz Media has released the first trailer and key visual for the anime's return. The news comes just after the two-episode finale (Episodes 25 and 26) of the anime's second part (The Separation) aired today.
Watch the thrilling new trailer for BLEACH: TYBW Part 3 - The Conflict below:
Here's the new BLEACH: Thousand-Year Blood War visual featuring Uryu Ishida:
BLEACH: Thousand-Year Blood War anime is based on Tite Kubo's popular shonen manga series published by Shueisha. Studio Pierrot produced the animation for the series, which originally aired from October 2004 and March 2012 with a total of 366 episodes. The first part of BLEACH: TYBW premiered last year, and Part 2 - The Separation, premiered in July of this year.
What to expect from BLEACH: TYBW Part 3 - The Conflict?
Based on what we've seen in the finale of BLEACH: TYBW Part 2, it roughly looks like the third part will pick up around Chapter 614 of Tite Kubo's manga series, but it's hard to predict how much content we'll see covered at this point as they might add more anime-only scenes in the new episodes.
As teased in the second part, expect to see more familiar faces, including Yoruichi Shihouin, who's been largely absent in the first 26 episodes of the BLEACH: TYBW. Also expect to see the Vizards and Sōsuke Aizen, who already briefly appeared earlier in the series. It's likely that we will see him side with the Soul Reapers in an effort to take down Yhwach. Kubo also confirmed that the anime will show more of Squad 13 Squad 13 Captain Jūshirō Ukitake, who plays a pivotal role in the manga series.
No major spoilers here, but of course, we're going to see more of the Soul Reapers trying to take the Soul King Palace back from Yhwach and his army Sternritter army. Also, expect to see more of Uryu Ishida, the Quincy who betrayed Ichigo and his friends. Of course, BLEACH wouldn't be BLEACH without some intense fights and spectacular animation, so expect to see more of those in Part 3 of TYBW.
