Everything We Know About Bleach TYBW…

追加: 2026-05-17

[00:00:00]Bleach Thousand-Year Blood War Core [music] 4 finally upon us. Finally, not too far off. In two months, we are getting the return of my favorite anime of all time and arguably possibly the anime of the year. Am I biased? Yes. But I'm just excited that Bleach is coming back. It's been way too long since we had Bleach coming out consistently. In fact, this was the first time that I had to deal with a hiatus since I caught up to Bleach. You see, I caught up during core 3. This wait between core 3 and core 4, it almost did me in. Almost. So, I can't even begin to imagine what it was like for y'all that had to wait 10 years for Bleach to come back. But now we're here at the finale, the climax, the peak of Bleach. And one of the things that we know about Core 4 is that seven of the episodes are going to be anime only. I couldn't be any more hype.

[00:00:50]And I'll tell you why. Never in my existence as an anime fan have I experienced a situation like this where it feels like everybody is in the dark and nobody knows what's going to happen.

[00:01:03]Not anime onlyies, not manga readers, nobody. All we know about Bleach Thousand-Year Blood War Core 4 is that the anime only episodes are in line with Kubo's vision. And let me tell you, Kubo's vision is indeed peak. These episodes are canonical and they have allowed Kubo to execute the finale of Bleach in a way that he sees fit, in a way that he wasn't able to do in the manga. Again, I have never seen anything like this. Usually, an anime will drop a new season or the ending will start airing and the manga readers already know what to expect. They already read it. They know how it ends. But not this time. This time, it feels like there's something new for everybody. There's something new for all of us. Whether you've read Bleach, whether you haven't, whether you're an anime only like me, new content for everybody. I think this is going to blow everybody's mind. You can tell just by the way that they're advertising Bleach. We got collaborations, we got new figures, we got novels, we got watches, Fortnite skins, Grand Blue, you name it. This is going to be so much of a big deal that the first three episodes are going to be a theatrical release. And let's be real, this shouldn't be a surprise to anybody.

[00:02:13]you tend to see cinema in theaters.

[00:02:16]Bleach Thousand-Year Blood War Core 4, I don't see it being anything short of cinema. But let's get back to that because that is one of the many things that we know about Bleach Thousand-Year Blood War Core 4. And part of me, a good little, you know, 10%. It's kind of like I want to watch this weekly, you know, standard watch episode 1, wait a week, watch episode 2, wait another week, watch episode 3. But there's a good 90% of me that's like we will be there. We will be there no matter what. I'm not even a big theater person, but I can't imagine anything cooler than showing up to the movie theaters, sitting down, getting a tub of popcorn, watching the first three episodes of Core 4 up on the big screens, and just being surrounded by fellow Bleach fans. I don't know. I I just I can't think that there's a better atmosphere to watch Bleach. But that's only under the assumption that everybody is not annoying. I think in the same way that being surrounded by Bleach fans might be able to elevate the viewing experience. On the flip side, and there's a very real possibility there can be loers, dorks, dweebs. They ruined the viewing experience for everybody else. So, I'm a little bit torn on that.

[00:03:18]But given the fact that we're going to be able to watch Bleach early, I think that's the biggest appeal so far because I'm not waiting longer than I have to, brother. If Bleach is out, Bleach is out and I'm watching. So, if you're interested, the theatrical run for the United States, it's going to be from June 25th to June 29th. Be there or be square or maybe don't be there at all. I don't know. It's your call. So, we're about a month away. But besides the theatrical release, The Calamity will be coming out in July. This isn't anything new, though. We've known this for about 4 months, ever since the last Bleach teaser trailer dropped, which by the way, it showed off a new Ichigo form.

[00:03:51]Typically, I would have been like, "Oh my goodness, I'm spoiled." But I was already spoiled by playing Bleach Rebirth for Souls. Thank you very much.

[00:03:58]But it's fine. There's not even that much manga content to adapt anyways. I think for the most part, I've remained pretty much unspoiled for most things. I hope that most anime onies have remained unspoiled as well. But as for why Bleach is getting its ending rewritten in the anime, I touched on this earlier, but Kubo had to meet certain deadlines. And because of that, he was unable to flesh out the Bleach Thousand-year Blood War ending like he wanted to. So much so that even he was upset with the way that the manga is ended, and we are getting the hot fix in the anime. It is so epic to me that we are getting an anime that is the ideal way to consume the source material, even more so than the manga.

[00:04:34]Maybe it's a little bit deeper than that because the anime does have pacing issues, especially around the WO Mundo arc as well as censorship issues that are not present in the manga. However, the manga has the rushed ending whereas the anime has the Kubo approved ending.

[00:04:48]I think that's cool. Now, as for what is going to be in this new material, this anime only content, I don't know for sure. And I I'm sure that nobody in this world other than Kubo himself and the people working on this arc don't know either. But I do have a couple wishes, a couple desires, and I want to talk about it. I think one of the things that I really want to see is the Visors go crazy. I can't even remember the last time the Visors went insane. They had their moment in Thousand-Year Blood War Core 3, but I want to see more. I want to see dang near every individual member have their moment. I'm not saying it's going to be a full episode. Obviously, that's impossible, but I just think the Visor are such a cool group that I want them to get a bit of spotlight in this new revised version of the Bleach ending. Again, given what we've seen from core 3, it seems like the Visor might get something in Core 4. Seems like the calamity is going to be a good day for the Visor fans. What more I want to see is some of the captains. I want to see anime exclusive fights. Now, I'm not going to talk over the characters that already have fights in the manga.

[00:05:50]Obviously, we know Toshiro is going to fight. We know Kimpachi's going to fight. Ichigo is gonna fight Yuhabaha.

[00:05:55]You know, we know this stuff. But what about the characters that don't get fights in the manga? Characters such as, I don't know, for example, soy phone.

[00:06:03]Maybe we can see her shikai get used against a competent foe, a character like Kensei. Personally, I don't even care much about Kenz. That might be frank. That might be too that might be too real. It's too honest. But it's how I feel. And I feel like the reason I feel this way is because the anime hasn't given me a reason to like Kenz all that much. They haven't really given us much Ken material. In fact, they haven't given us material for a lot of these lesserk known yet still important characters. Like this is a captain we're talking about. Like he's still very strong and very important, right? I hope they get their moment because I don't think, you know, as much as I I think that Toshiro swag, he's in my top three for sure. As much as I love Kimpachi, he's in my top 10 or something, right? I love these characters. They're very popular. I don't think that they should hog all the spotlight, you know? Give it give it some of these small fries. I guess that's a little bit patronizing, but you get what I mean. I would also like to see some bonai. Yeah, the bonkai that that really comes to my mind the most is Hizagi's bonkai. I would love to see that. I think that he has a really cool shikai. I think he's a pretty cool character. It's been teased throughout Thousand-Year Blood War that he should step it up and learn bonkai. I think that's about right and he should show us his bonkai. However, I was informed, unfortunately, that that is a novel moment, aka not a part of the Thousand-Year Blood War ending, at least in the manga. However, I believe we have an opportunity now where we might be able to have some of these novel moments adapted in the Thousand-Year Blood War anime, and I think Hisagi's Bangkai is probably I I don't know. I'm just speculating. I think there's a high percentage of it. If not, y'all come back to this video. Call me a big fat idiot. In that same vein, I'd like to see Udyu shrift get some action. Boom.

[00:07:37]Listen, simple. Give me Udyu fights. Udu versus Renji was an anime only fight, and that's that's one of the best fights in Thousand-Year Blood War. So, give that same grace to Udu. Give that same grace to some of these lesserknown characters. Give that same grace to Hagi. However, there's one thing I really do not want to see in Thousand-Year Blood War 4. I I don't know the general consensus of this. I've never looked at I've only talked about this with like a handful of people. I don't want to see an Eisen Bongai. That might sound ridiculous. That might sound like lunacy. [music] Eyes and Bonnie. I mean, on one hand, if they do give us eyes and bonkai, Kuba decides, yeah, this is I actually want to show this off. Eyes and bonkai. Boom. I'm not going to complain. It's probably going to be the best moment of the series. But I also feel like Eizen Eizen has never been somebody that has needed bonai. And I feel like part of his part of his aura is the fact that he is so strong and he's never even had to utilize bonkai. I see people speculating, does he even know bonkai? Does he have a bonkai?

[00:08:32]Look, I think Kyokusu is his bread and butter. And that's why I don't want to see an Eisen Bongai, but if we do get Eisen's Bonkai, you know, might get a crowd pop, might break the internet.

[00:08:41]Typical for Bleach, I believe. Heavens forbid that happens in the movie theaters. Oh my gosh, I'm throwing my popcorn all up in the air. I'm I'm standing up. I'm giving it a standing ovation. But yeah, you know, there there's a lot I want to see. A character that I'm particularly looking out for is Ryuken, but also Ichibbe. Shout outs also go to Udyu, who's going to fight Jum, Ichigo, who's going to fight Yuhabaha, and Eizen. Listen, Eizen still has to defeat Cher Sama, but once he does, I'm there. I want to see what they do in this final arc. But but the bottom line is I just want to see more Bleach.

[00:09:12]It's a bit bittersweet knowing that Thousand-Year Blood War: The Calamity, it's about to come out and it's going to be peak. Of course, duh, we know this, but also knowing that it's the last season of Bleach. I hope it's not the case. I hope we get more Bleach in the future. But, you know, I I'm I'm also a little bit sad knowing that it's going to come to an end. I would love to make as many Bleach videos as possible.

[00:09:32]There's been so many Bleach videos that I've held off on because I've been waiting for the Calamity to come out.

[00:09:36]And when it does come out, I got this slew of Bleach videos that I've been holding off on for well over a year. But I I just want to see more Bleach. And we're nearing it. We're so close. I can't believe we're here and and Bleach's peak. Thank you all for making it this far into the video, though. Let me know what what are some things that you want to see in the Calamity. What are some fights that you want to see in the Calamity? Who knows? Also, any predictions. But yeah, that's been pretty much it. Thank you all for watching. Take care y'all.
