Plot
Bleach: Thousand-Year Blood War Part Three will closely follow Tite Kubo’s original manga, which concluded in 2016. However, as seen in Part Two, the series will take creative liberties to delve deeper into the story. Part 3 is expected to pick up around chapter 612 of the manga, but additional anime-only scenes will be added to enhance the storytelling.
Tite Kubo’s active involvement in the anime adaptation allows him to rewrite the series as originally intended. Expect more character development and expanded lore, especially regarding the true nature of the Soul Society.
Fans can look forward to the return of Squad 13 Captain Jūshirō Ukitake, who plays a pivotal role in the manga, offering extensive background on himself and the Soul King. The Vizards, Yoruichi Shihouin, and fan-favorite villain Sōsuke Aizen will also make significant appearances, with additional original scenes.
Anticipate thrilling battles, stunning animation, power-ups, big reveals, and a deeper exploration of the Soul Society’s mysteries. The story will revolve around the Soul Reapers’ attempts to reclaim the Soul King Palace from Yhwach and his Sternritter, all while trying to prevent Uryu Ishida from becoming fully aligned with their cause.

New footage for Bleach: Thousand-Year Blood War Part 3 is expected to be released in early 2024. In the meantime, fans can explore other shonen anime series like Demon Slayer and My Hero Academia, or revisit the original Bleach series to prepare for the upcoming epic installment.
