Bleach's creator hasn't forgotten about Toshiro Hitsugaya or Ulquiorra with new sketches!

Bleach: Thousand-Year Blood War Part 3 – The Conflict will be hitting screens with its new episodes later this year, and the creator behind it all has revisited Toshiro Hitsugaya, Renji Abarai and even Ulquiorra Cifer in some fun new sketches! Bleach: Thousand-Year Blood War has kicked off a massive return for the franchise over the last few years as the anime has finally started to adapt the final arc from Tite Kubo's original manga series. And as the franchise has returned for new episodes, it's also revived interest in the Bleach franchise overall through the last few years. 

With the Bleach anime coming back for new episodes later this year, Bleach in Japan is also kicking off some special releases for fans in Japan. These feature some special new sketches of the characters from Tite Kubo himself with previous releases showcasing the likes of Ichigo Kurosaki, Orihime Inoue, and Rukia Kuchiki in the past. Now the latest set of sketches are showing off new looks for Hitsugaya, Renji, and Ulquiorra and you can check the three of them out in action below while we wait for the new episodes.
