Bleach Teams Up With Designer For Some NSFW Clothes

If you ever wanted to celebrate your love for Bleach with curse words, then Japan has just the shirt for you. Last year, the beloved supernatural shonen manga came to an end, but Tite Kubo still has Ichigo on his mind. The creator recently teamed up with a well-known fashion brand in Japan to make some clothes based on the Bleach. And, yes – the line’s debut shirt carries some NSFW language that would make even Rukia balk.

Thanks to the brand SKULLSHIT, the company has decked out a new t-shirt for Bleach lovers. The Japanese designer teamed up with Kubo to make the shirt for a future event at the Skeleton Festival overseas. The event, which is celebrating its 20th anniversary, called on Bleach and SKULLSHIT to collaborate.

With a live-action Bleach movie on the horizon, Kubo was quick to agree to the collab. The creator supervised the SKULLSHIT design as it combines Ichigo and the brand’s logo. The shirt is expected to sell for about $50 and will be up for purchase starting June 25th.

For Kubo, designing the Bleach t-shirt was surely a dream come true. Before the artist began Bleach, the creator has said he once dreamed of doing fashion design. Kubo’s career ultimately took a turn towards manga, but he stayed interest in fashion design throughout the years. All of Ichigo’s fan-favorite shirts from the series were created by Kubo as fashion design exercises, so who knows? Maybe anime fans can expect a full-blown Bleach fashion line to drop sometime in the future?

You can read Viz Media’s synopsis of Bleach below:

“Ichigo Kurosaki never asked for the ability to see ghosts—he was born with the gift. When his family is attacked by a Hollow—a malevolent lost soul—Ichigo becomes a Soul Reaper, dedicating his life to protecting the innocent and helping the tortured spirits themselves find peace.”

Bleach is author Tite Kubo’s second title. Kubo made his debut with ZOMBIEPOWDER., a four-volume series for Weekly Shonen Jump. To date, Bleach has been translated into numerous languages and has also inspired an animated TV series that began airing in Japan in 2004. Beginning its serialization in 2001, Bleach is still a mainstay in the pages of Weekly Shonen Jump. In 2005, Bleach was awarded the prestigious Shogakukan Manga Award in the shonen (boys) category.
