Exciting details to be revealed in upcoming presentation

Given the gaps between previous seasons, a summer or early fall release date is the most likely outcome. Part 1 ended in December 2022, Part 2 premiered in July 2023, and Part 3 concluded in December 2024, reinforcing the pattern of a July or August release window for Part 4.
In addition to the anime news, the presentation will feature an interview with Aqua Timez, a band with a longstanding connection to the Bleach franchise. Aqua Timez will debut a new music video inspired by the series. Moreover, the event is expected to showcase new gameplay from Bleach: Rebirth of Souls, the upcoming fighting game based on the franchise.
Bleach’s resurgence signals a new era for the franchise
Bleach has experienced a significant revival since the release of Thousand-Year Blood War Part 1 in 2022. The original anime ended abruptly with the Fullbringer Arc in 2012, leaving fans without a proper conclusion. Studio Pierrot’s revival of the series has not only reignited fan interest but also improved upon the original manga by expanding key moments and introducing Bankai that were not shown in the source material.
The resurgence of Bleach has extended beyond the anime, with new projects like Rebirth of Souls and the upcoming music video signaling the franchise’s renewed relevance. The consistent quality of the animation and the faithful yet enhanced adaptation of Kubo’s work have played a major role in this comeback.
With the special stream just around the corner, anticipation is at an all-time high. Whether it’s a release date, a trailer, or other surprises, fans of Bleach have every reason to be excited about the future of the franchise.
