Bleach’s Next Steps
Of course, Ichigo is dead center here, and he looks worse for wear thanks to his shredded uniform. With two swords in hand, Ichigo looks ominous in this shot, and he’s flanked by two people behind him. To his left, Ichigo’s dad is standing over his soon as fans are gifted a look at the young Soul Reaper.

It looks like Ichigo’s parents are about to play a big role in Bleach, and manga fans were warned as much last week. The anime confirmed its next episode would be titled “Everything But the Rain” which is taken from one of Tite Kubo’s best volumes. The manga in question goes over the history of Isshin and Masaki before Ichigo was born. And given what Yhwach has told us about the boy’s Shinigami-Quincy bloodline, it has become more important than ever to brush up on the boy’s history.
Obviously, the next episode of Bleach will be a must-watch, and the anime’s fall finale will come after with an hour-long expansion. If you are not caught up with the show, Bleach is currently streaming on Hulu and Disney+ exclusively. And of course, Kubo’s manga has been done for a number of years now. You can find the story in print or online stateside courtesy of Viz Media.
