This week, Bleach stepped out with an important episode, and things are already heating up ahead of episode four's release. After all, a war has been declared against the Soul Society, and Ichigo is nowhere ready to help his allies. Now, Bleach: Thousand-Year Blood War is bringing out a first look at episode four, and its new title has manga readers fearing for their favorite fighters. 

The whole thing came to light this week as Bleach released its most recent episode. When it ended, a promo for episode four went live, and it was narrated by none other than Toshiro Hitsugaya. The captain paints a bleak picture as he tells audiences the Soul Society is being invaded, and the Gotei 13 must put its best foot forward to push back the Sternritters.
