Bleach: Thousand-Year Blood War Trailer Shows Off the New Captains

Bleach will finally be bringing the Thousand-Year Blood War arc to life with new episodes coming in just a couple more days from the time of this writing, and the newest trailer for the series is hyping up the Thirteen Court Guard Squad shake ups that we will get to see in action soon! Tite Kubo’s final arc never got its proper anime due since the first adaptation was cancelled before the final arc even began, and that means that many fans never got to experience many of the biggest fights, character moments, and powers shown off in the final arc.

But after years of waiting for what seemed like the impossible, Bleach really is going to debut new episodes taking on the Thousand-Year Blood War arc. As teased with this newest trailer showing off the Thirteen Court Guard Squads (and the many shake ups to its line up), the final arc is filled with a ton of fights from all sorts of characters fans will get to see in action for the first time. You can check out the new trailer for Bleach: Thousand-Year Blood War’s new episodes below as released by Viz Media: 

Bleach: Thousand-Year Blood War will be premiering on October 10th, and the series will be streaming with Hulu in the United States (and Disney+ for international fans) alongside the new episodes hitting Japan. Bleach‘s official website previously revealed that Episode 1 of the new series is titled “The Blood Warfare,” and it features Masashi Kudo as chief animation director, Cindy H. Yamauchi as animation director, and Tomohiso Taguchi wrote the screenplay. The series premiere is described as such:

“It is observed that Hollows are disappearing one after another in the real world, and the Soul Society and Technology Development Bureau is in an uproar. Meanwhile, in Karakura Town, two newly appointed shinigami named Ryunosuke Yumiki and Shino Madarame encounter a Hollow as soon as they arrive. Ichigo Kurosaki and his companions help the two who were helpless amidst the sudden attack. But two days later, a man wearing a mask appears before Ichigo and the others who interacted with Ryunosuke who has finally regained consciousness. And all the while, strange things are happening in the Soul Society.”
