Bleach Thousand Year Blood War Season 3 Release News
Fans are likely looking for an immediate release for Bleach Thousand-Year Blood War part 3. A promotional trailer for the third part of the anime sequel series “The Conflict” was released in December 2023.
The brief 80-second tease concluded with the release year of 2024, which reduces the window of time that fans might anticipate for the return of the series. That release date, though, might not arrive as soon as some had anticipated.
Several reports of turmoil within the Thousand-Year Blood War animation company Pierrot have surfaced since the completion of Season 2 (source: Comic Book Resources).
The anime industry has said that the studio has experienced production issues with some major titles, including the Bleach sequel series. Staff mismanagement and underpaid are common issues in the business.
Because of this, Studio Pierrot promised to review its production schedule for Seasons 2 and 3, which may mean that the upcoming batch of episodes takes longer to make than planned.
company Pierrot Managing Editor Keirou Itsumi discussed upcoming changes at the company in a February 2024 chat (via Comicbook), stating that “labor management must also be done properly” even if it means reducing output:
“In the past, in the anime industry, creators may have had the impression that the working environment was so-called low profit and high sales. They were expected to work in a way that ignored the Labor Standards Act. However, in modern times, labor management must also be done properly.”
When Exactly Will Bleach Season 3 Be Released?
This change at the Bleach Thousand-Year Blood War studio implies that additional projects may be delayed as the team avoids the one-season-per-year schedule that Thousand-Year Blood War was not on.
As a result, the studio could choose to push back the release of the Bleach series in favor of giving other games more time to develop. However, Thousand-Year Blood War is expected to be launched this year, as evidenced by the fact that a 2024 teaser has surfaced online.
Although there was a similar gap between Seasons 1 and 2, as well as between Seasons 2 and 3, some may have anticipated that Season 3 will be released this summer. However, that appears not likely to be the case. Rather, it is more possible that the show will air later on TV than first thought in the fall or possibly winter of this year.
It will be divided into four parts, or courses, as they are commonly called in anime language, with each part consisting of thirteen episodes. It had its TV Tokyo debut in October 2022. In 2023, Part 2 was shown from July to September.
A struggle between Ichibe and Yhwach marked the conclusion of Part 2. Along with highlighting the series’ beginning and conclusion themes, the teaser for Part 3 continued the fight from the previous installment. Hypebeast reports that “Monochrome” by Suisoh will serve as the closing theme, while “Kotoba ni Sezu Tomo – Even if You Don’t Say It” by Six Lounge will serve as the opening theme.
The manga of the same name by Tite Kubo, also known as Noriaki Kubo, is the basis for the anime series Bleach. Ichigo Kurosaki, a man who acquired the abilities of a Grim Reaper—a creature akin to the Grim Reaper—is the main character of the tale. His ability to guard people from bad spirits and assist in guiding deceased souls to the hereafter comes with a responsibility.
