This year's Anime Expo is planning to give anime fans a fresh look at the war between the Soul Society and the Sternritter.

Bleach had been absent from the anime world for some time, as many anime fans believed that we might never seen the return of Ichigo Kurosaki and the Shinigami of the Soul Society. In a surprising twist, Studio Pierrot brought the anime series back to adapt the final major story arc of the manga in the Thousand-Year Blood War. Following the first two "cours" of the anime, Soul Reaper fans have been waiting patiently on news when it comes to the third part of the series. Luckily, Bleach fans won't have to wait much longer as the shonen series is releasing new details when it comes to its arrival at Anime Expo this year.

When last we left Ichigo and his allies, they were once again in a really bad spot. Yhwach had managed to defeat the Royal Guard that had been protecting the "Soul King", the being that was on the top of the ladder in the Soul Society. Thanks to draining his followers of their strength and adding it to his own, the Wandenreich leader appears unstoppable in taking control of the afterlife and everything else in existence. Luckily, Ichigo and company have been doing some intense training to make sure they can stand up to the latest threat.
