What Bleach: Thousand-Year Blood War Is About
Bleach is Tite Kubo's manga about Ichigo Kurosaki, a teenager who gains the powers of a Soul Reaper and protects the living world from Hollows. It ran in Weekly Shōnen Jump from 2001 to 2016, and VIZ Media publishes the manga in English. The original anime adaptation from Studio Pierrot aired from 2004 to 2012.
Thousand-Year Blood War adapts the final arc of the manga, in which the Wandenreich, an army of Quincy led by Yhwach, declares war on the Soul Society. The original anime ended in 2012 before Kubo finished the manga, and Thousand-Year Blood War premiered in October 2022 to adapt that last arc. It was split into 4 parts, ending with The Calamity, whose final episode closed out the TV anime, as covered in Bleach Anime Officially Ends After 22 Years As Thousand-Year Blood War Airs Its Final Episode. Ichigo's Japanese and English voice actors also looked back on their time in the role, as covered in Ichigo's Voices Reflect On More Than 20 Years Playing The Bleach Hero.
Here is VIZ Media's last trailer for The Calamity, released before the final 2 episodes aired:
Which piece of the Round1 Bleach collab would you pick up first: the club card, the Wave 2 T-shirt set or a full set of the 12 mystery coasters?
