![]() ![]() ![]() It goes to say that with every story arc, there's usually some sort of main antagonist but also lessons to be learned. Narratively driven, this arc goes to show the importance of how the past can affect the future in the Bleach world. They've received storytelling about their backgrounds in the past before so this season mainly reminds us how strong they've become.īleach Thousand-Year Blood War is exactly how it sounds, a war with bloodshed and been in the making for a thousand years. But fear not, other favorite characters in the franchise also makes a return including Toshiro and Byakuya. This season took its time to give these characters more meaning with their stories. It's important because Bleach has a large cast of characters and we can easily get lost. Even Ichigo's parents gets a spotlight this season as we come to know how Isshin and Masaki met in their past. Most interestingly however, we come to know a deeper background story of a few Soul Reaper captains including Genryuusai Shigekuni Yamamoto, Kenpachi Zaraki, and Retsu Unohana. Unfortunately, this season doesn't truly dive into Uryu's motivations or what his true purpose is yet. The oddball of this show is Uryu Ishida, because of his status as a Quincy, and this is a source that gets complex this season. Joining him in his quest to stop the Wandenreich includes his loyal friends such as Rukia, Renji, Yasutora Sado, Orihime, and of course, the Soul Society. Our oranged hair main protagonist Ichigo Kurosaki is still the same Shinigami we came to know since previous seasons. While we don't know much yet about Wandenreich, it's clear that they a force to be feared. If there's anything Bleach has taught me about its antagonists, it's that they often come across as charismatic characters such as Sosuke Aizen and the Espadas. While not much is known about their, some of their members display a malevolent aura that borderlines on a God-like complex. Watching the Thousand-Year Blood War Arc immediately shows just how dangerous and capable the Wandenreich is with their special abilities, equipment, and ruthless ambitions. Even the world of Hueco Mundo isn't safe from their wrath as Ichigo and his allies decides to take a stand against this new threat. ![]() Led by the Quincy King Yhwach, their true agenda remains a mystery but it's clear that they are a prominent threat against all of Soul Society and the human world. ![]() They make an immediately impact by disposing a lieutenant and challenges against the very best of Soul Society. And with the final story arc, this served as the ultimate sendoff for anime viewers who had hoped to see this one day.īleach Thousand-Year Blood War is based on the final story arc of the manga, pitching Ichigo Kurosaki, the Soul Society, and his allies, friends against a new enemy known as the Wandenreich. Of course, he was influenced by other works but Bleach still stands out as a very special show on its own. Tite Kubo's creative vision to make characters dressed up in kimono and supernatural monsters associated with spiritual themes is what made this franchise so special. Initially, he didn't expect Bleach to bloosom into the franchise as we know today but mangaka Akira Toriyama provided the encouragement for him to succeed. Kubo has amassed a loyal fanbase and I confidentally say that he deserves it for his creative vision and sheer determination. It's a celebration for the entire Bleach fandom. Mind you, this isn't just an announcement for what fans wanted after all these years. Almost 8 years later, Bleach's massive 20th Anniversary Event breathed new life into the franchise as we got the final arc anime announcement: Bleach Thousand-Year Blood War. Some fans were left confused that the anime omitted its final arc although it's understandable that the manga was still ongoing at the time. Dubbed as part of the 'Big 3', it almost felt like an end of an era. In 2012, Bleach ended its long anime-run without adapting the final arc from the manga. In retaliation, Ichigo and his friends must fight alongside old allies and enemies alike to end Yhwach's campaign of carnage before the world itself comes to an end. Yhwach launches a two-pronged invasion into both the Soul Society and Hueco Mundo, the home of Hollows and Arrancar. Yhwach seeks to reignite the historic blood feud between Soul Reaper and Quincy, and he sets his sights on erasing both the human world and the Soul Society for good. Ichigo's vigilante routine is disrupted by the sudden appearance of Asguiaro Ebern, a dangerous Arrancar who heralds the return of Yhwach, an ancient Quincy king. Ichigo carries out his quest with his closest allies: Orihime Inoue, his childhood friend with a talent for healing Yasutora Sado, his high school classmate with superhuman strength and Uryuu Ishida, Ichigo's Quincy rival. Substitute Soul Reaper Ichigo Kurosaki spends his days fighting against Hollows, dangerous evil spirits that threaten Karakura Town. ![]()
