Ichigo Kurosaki is back on the air thanks to Bleach's new anime, and it has never felt so good to see the Soul Reaper. After a decade away, the character returned to television this month to finish the story first penned by Tite Kubo. And now, we have been gifted a special look at episode three ahead of its release!
As you can see below, a few new images of Bleach: Thousand-Year Blood War have gone live, and they cover what's to come in its next episode. The anime set up a major conflict, after all, and Ichigo is going to be at the center of it. Hueco Mundo has been overtaken, and a truly despicable Quincy is ready to fight Ichigo now that the Soul Reaper has come to investigate the realm. But with Nel at his side, there is no telling how well Ichigo can fight.

The Story So Far
Of course, Bleach: Thousand-Year Blood War has fans on edge after its latest episode, so this preview of episode three does scratch their itch. The stills show off everyone from Ichigo to Chad and even Captain Yamamoto back in the Soul Society. Of course, the stills also highlight the Quincy that Ichigo is about to fight, and episode two already showed the world how violent they are.

Clearly, things are not right in the world of Bleach, and Ichigo must now put together the pieces of what's going on. Urahara warned the Soul Reaper the goings on in Hueco Mundo, the Soul Society, and the World of the Living are all connected. It seems like the Quincy have some sort of plot in mind, and given how Uryu was acting in episode two, fans aren't sure who all Ichigo can trust nowadays.
