Ichigo Kurosaki gained the powers of a Soul Reaper through a chance encounter. “Through his visual genius, Tite Kubo has had an indelible impact on the fandom world and the course of manga and anime history,” Brad Woods, chief marketing officer for VIZ Media, said in the release. The Thousand Year Blood War arc is the manga’s final arc, and covers volumes 55-74. (The show’s returning Japanese cast also includes cast members who have not appeared in the anime, but are reprising their roles from the Bleach: Brave Souls video game.) The anime will run for four quarters, with breaks in between airing episodes.
