What to Know for Bleach: Thousand-Year Blood War Part 2
Bleach: Thousand-Year Blood War is currently slated to return for Part 2 some time this July as part of the Summer 2023 anime schedule. It’s yet to be revealed how many episodes the second phase of the series will be sticking around for, but it’s only the second part of a full four cour order of episodes now in the works. That means fans will definitely get to see the full final arc of the anime come to life with this new series, and that’s still mind blowing considering that it’s been something we’ve been asking to see for such a long time.ย
Much like Part 1 of the final arc, Part 2 of Bleach: Thousand-Year Blood War will be throwing fans right back into the thick of the action as Ichigo ends his newest training phase and takes on Yhwach and the Sternritter forces once more. This means you’ll need to be caught up with both the original run of the anime and the new series’ episodes, and thankfully you can find both of them now streaming with Hulu (and Disney+ internationally).ย
