Bleach and JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure to Make Special Anime Expo Announcements

Summer is here, and that means Anime Expo is just around the corner. It won’t be much longer before the massive event gets underway in California, and the in-person convention promises to bring some of anime’s biggest hits to its main stage. And now, we have just learned Bleach and JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure will lead their own special panels this year.

The news comes from Anime Expo as the event shared some of its main panels with netizens. It was there JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure confirmed it will bring Golden Wind royalty to the event, and Bleach will do the same ahead of its huge anime comeback.

“Celebrate 35 years of JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure at AX2022! We’ll be joined by Golden Wind actors: Phillip Reich (Giorno), Ray Chase (Bucciarati), and Lizzie Freeman (Trish). Plus Stone Ocean actors: Kira Buckland (Jolyne) and Yong Yea (Pucci),” the event shared. “Get hyped for the Thousand-Year Blood War arc with a big Bleach bash! We’ll be making announcements, playing special messages from Japan, unveiling new exclusive content, and more.”

As you can see, Anime Expo has plenty to do with both these panels. JoJo is celebrating a major anniversary, so it is only right to celebrate with some of its best dub actors. This panel will also go live well ahead of the anime’s return to Netflix this fall. Jolyne Cujoh is expected to resurface in Stone Ocean in a few months, so fans could get an update on the premiere soon.
