In the image, we can see Ichigo in his Bankai form, and the black-and-white photo goes on to spotlight two Arrancar. At the bottom, we can find Grimmjow with his usual mask in place while Ulquiorra sits at the top. Both of these Arrancar look spot-on with their anime designs. So if you want to see Grimmjow belt out a rock melody, this stage musical will make your dreams come true.

Currently, Bleach: Arrancar the Beginning is slated to go live in May 2024. The musical will mark the show’s most recent stage entry. After all, Bleach Egan its rock musical run in August 2005. A decade later, Bleach returned to the stage in July 2016. Now, Bleach’s musical series is back on the horizon, and fans can apply now for its ticket lottery.

If musicals aren’t your thing, you can always check out Bleach elsewhere. The manga wrapped some years ago, and Viz Media oversees its publication in English. As for the anime, you can find Bleach and Bleach: Thousand-Year Blood War exclusively on Disney+ and/or Hulu. So for more info on the hit series, you can read out its official synopsis below:

“Ichigo Kurosaki has always been able to see ghosts, but this ability doesn’t change his life nearly as much as his close encounter with Rukia Kuchiki, a Soul Reaper and member of the mysterious Soul Society. While fighting a Hollow, an evil spirit that preys on humans who display psychic energy, Rukia attempts to lend Ichigo some of her powers so that he can save his family; but much to her surprise, Ichigo absorbs every last drop of her energy. Now a full-fledged Soul Reaper himself, Ichigo quickly learns that the world he inhabits is one full of dangerous spirits and, along with Rukia–who is slowly regaining her powers–it’s Ichigo’s job to protect the innocent from Hollows and help the spirits themselves find peace.”
