We are getting closer to Bleach’s return by the day. If you did not know, the team at Studio Pierrot has been working hard on Ichigo’s comeback for months now. The second cour of Bleach: Thousand-Year Blood War is on the horizon, so fans are on the hunt for updates. And now, we have gotten an update on Ichigo’s big moment ahead of his July debut.

After all, it won’t be long before Bleach: Thousand-Year Blood War makes its return. Ichigo is slated to return to the small screen this July as part of anime’s summer season. He will hit up television alongside other anime giants like Demon Slayer’s Tanjiro as the hero just kickstarted his third season. So of course, all eyes will be on shonen this summer as usual.

If you are not caught up with Bleach’s new anime, you do have some time to catch up. You can find the anime streaming exclusively on Hulu stateside or through Disney+ across the globe. The original Bleach anime is also available on those sites if you need to refresh any part of your Bleach knowledge. The new cour of Bleach: Thousand-Year Blood War is slated to start this July, so you have some weeks to prepare for its return. And if you hurry, you might be caught up in time for a rumored update on Bleach. New reports suggest Tite Kubo will drop news about Bleach and his other series Burn the Witch later this month.
