Bleach Creator Hypes Adult Hitsugaya in New Art

Bleach: Thousand-Year Blood War has some big things planned for Toshiro Hitsugaya in the anime’s coming episodes, and the creator behind it all is hyping up the debut of his zombie form with some new art celebrating the latest episode! Bleach: Thousand-Year Blood War has been showing off all of the wild powers that each of the Quincies have at their disposal during Part 2’s run of episodes this Summer, and this has resulted in a greater focus on the Bambis as they have been at the center of the action for the last few episodes so far. 

Bleach: Thousand-Year Blood War Episode 22 sees Giselle Gewelle taking the center stage of the fights with her zombie abilities, and the newest episode ends with the reveal that she was actually able to turn Hitsugaya into a zombie with her blood as well. Though the other zombies were taken care of with ease, a Captain’s going to be a lot tougher to deal with. To celebrate this wild debut, series creator Tite Kubo shared some special art of zombie Hitsugaya with fans on X (Twitter) and you can check it out below:
