Visual Revealed for "The Lost Agent Arc" Retrospective Ahead of the Final Cour of "BLEACH" Premiering in July!

The special project "TV ANIMATION 'BLEACH' THE STORIES," which looks back on the trajectory of the "BLEACH" TV anime, has entered its fourth phase, "The Lost Agent Arc," and a special visual has been unveiled. In addition to the free streaming of the "The Lost Agent Arc" episodes, the series' successive opening and ending theme videos are also scheduled to be released sequentially.

"BLEACH" is a sword-fighting battle action manga by Tite Kubo that was serialized in "Weekly Shonen Jump." Even after its conclusion, it maintains strong popularity worldwide, with over 130 million copies in circulation. Since the start of its broadcast in October 2004, more than 360 TV episodes and four theatrical films have been produced. The final arc, "Thousand-Year Blood War," began airing in October 2022, and the final cour, "Bleach: Thousand-Year Blood War - The Calamity," is set to premiere in July.

The newly released special visual is the fourth in a series that reinterprets Tite Kubo's illustrations of Ichigo Kurosaki throughout the years as new anime art. This visual depicts Ichigo in his Fullbring form and his appearance after regaining his Soul Reaper powers.

Furthermore, on the official "BLEACH" anime YouTube channel, a limited-time free premiere streaming of episodes 343 through 366 will begin sequentially from May 16 at 8:00 PM. Successive opening and ending theme videos up to the "Thousand-Year Blood War" arc, such as SCANDAL’s "HARUKAZE" and Aimer’s "Re:pray," will also be released one after another.

At the same time, the interview project "TV ANIMATION 'BLEACH' THE STORIES OF CASTS – Arrancar Arc" is currently available, featuring Masakazu Morita (voice of Ichigo Kurosaki) as the host talking with various cast members from each arc. In the current segment, Show Hayami (voice of Sōsuke Aizen) and Daisuke Namikawa (voice of Ulquiorra Cifer) have been invited to share episodes that have never been told before.

Additionally, many new scenes and text stamp materials from "The Lost Agent Arc" have been added to "BLEACH MEMORIES," a special page where users can create original images using scenes, illustrations, and items from the series to share on social media.
