The highly anticipated third part of “Bleach: Thousand-Year Blood War” is scheduled to premiere in October 2024, as announced at Anime Expo. This continuation of the beloved anime series, adapting the final chapters of Tite Kubo’s manga, has been titled “The Conflict” and will further the battle between Soul Reapers and the Quincy.
A new poster and trailer were unveiled alongside the release window announcement, generating excitement among fans who have been eagerly awaiting the continuation of the series. This third installment, along with the upcoming fourth part, will cover the remaining seventy-seven chapters of the manga that were left unadapted when the original anime series concluded in 2012.
“Bleach,” once part of the “Big Three” of anime alongside “One Piece” and “Naruto,” has demonstrated its enduring popularity with the success of “Thousand-Year Blood War.” The series’ return after a decade-long hiatus speaks to the strong fan base and lasting impact of Kubo’s creation.
While the anime landscape has evolved significantly since “Bleach” first aired, with newer series like “Demon Slayer” and “Attack on Titan” gaining immense popularity, the enthusiasm for this sequel series proves that “Bleach” remains a formidable presence in the anime world.
As “One Piece” continues to thrive with its ongoing manga, anime, and recent live-action adaptation on Netflix, and “Naruto” prepares for its own live-action remake, “Bleach: Thousand-Year Blood War” represents another successful revival of a classic anime franchise.
Fans can currently stream the first two parts of “Bleach: Thousand-Year Blood War” on Hulu, with the third part set to join the platform in October 2024.
