It is anticipated that Bleach Season 17 will pick up just where Season 16 left off: The Quincy have a clandestine organization known as the Wandenreich, which literally translates to “Invisible Empire.”
In a conflict that took place a thousand years ago between the Quincy and the Shinigami, the Quincy were ultimately victorious. Because of this, they were able to flee and remain hidden for many years, during which time they had been amassing their strength.
It is anticipated that the Wandenreich will begin their assault on Soul Society, which will ultimately end in a full-scale conflict between the Shinigami and the Quincy. Ichigo, the protagonist of Soul Reaper, will be putting himself through rigorous training in order to strengthen himself and gain more power so that he can preserve Soul Society and fight back.
Tite Kubo, the author of Bleach, had a question-and-answer session with members of his fan club in February 2022. It was at this event that the mangaka revealed two significant developments in the revival of the anime series.
The artist who worked on the manga has disclosed that the anime adaptation of the Thousand-Year Blood War arc would take some time to settle questions that were not addressed in the source material.
Due to the fact that Kubo worked closely with the team responsible for the anime to give the answers, fans of the anime series may anticipate additional material to be included in this adaptation.
For example, the conclusion of the series will explain who specifically targeted Rukia during the first Quincy Invasion, and that’s only the beginning of the answers that will be provided.
An update provided by director Tomohisa Taguchi and producer Yoshihiro Tominaga, courtesy of Viz Media, confirmed that Bleach: Thousand-Year Blood War would be adapting the arc all about Isshin and Masaki. This information was provided in advance of the Anime Expo 2022. One of the most heartbreaking episodes in Bleach may be found in volume 60 of the manga.
