During Anime Expo 2024, Aniplex has revealed a teaser for its third Bleach anime adaptation based on the Thousand-Year Blood War manga arc. And it’s airing later this year.

Bleach: Thousand-Year Blood War Part 3 – The Conflict will air in Japan (and other streaming services like Netflix) on October 2024. No word on whether the English dub will air at the same time, or a few months later after its debut.

The video below previews the new OP and ED theme songs for part 3: “Kotoba ni Sezu Tomo” by Six Lounge and “Monochrome” by Suisoh.

Bleach: Thousand-Year Blood War aired its first part in October 2022 and ended in December 2022. The second part aired starting July 2023. Both parts aired internationally on Netflix (for Malaysia and SEA) and Disney+. The whole anime series will cover the entire final arc of the Bleach manga from volumes 55 to 74. The plot centres around the clash between Shinigamis and Quincies, with Ichigo and his motley crew being at the centre of it all.

On a related note, Bandai Namco has announced a Bleach 3D fighting game in the works, developed by the same team who made Melty Blood.
