Bleach Season 17 Release Date

Bleach’s first season Bleach was released on the 5th of October on the 5th of October, 2004 in Japan. The show was based on the old 4:3 ratio , and despite the shaky animation of Pierrot the show was an absolute success, since fans adored the darker tone in comparison with Naruto as well as One Piece. Kubo’s manga was one of the most viewed in the time, and even though it took some time until Bleach developed its plot and became superior to the other anime shows.

The adaptation was smooth in most cases however there was an large(r) quantity of filler episodes scattered throughout series, and four filler seasons that kept viewers away from the main story. 

The fillers were added because the anime was close enough to the manga’s storyline as a result, and the producers had to allow Kubo the time needed to develop his story before making changes to the manga. The basic structure of the series can be described as follows:

Note: Seasons for filler are indicated with italic.

The initial airing was 366 episodes. While everybody was hoping that the show would keep going, Bleachwas simply cancelled.

It is believed the reason Bleach was pulled because cost of production grew too expensive and the manga was not sufficiently similar to the manga. The producers were forced to create another filler episode, which was not financially viable or sit and wait for Kubo to be completed which ultimately caused the anime to be cancelled which was an unfortunate decision, considering that the final storyline was on the exact to the Aizen arc , which was the basis of the original manga.

However, in March 2020, the 20th Anniversary Bleach Project announced. made public, which was unveiled the following month.

Kubo has released a new chapter in the manga that details the events that took place in Bleach’s world. Bleach after the manga’s conclusion chapter, a spinoff series called Burn the Witch (which would, in time, get an adaptation in anime) and an upcoming return to the Bleach anime series!

This announcement enthralled many fans, because it’s now verified that the comic’s last storyline would get the proper treatment as an anime.

The show was originally planned for release in 2021 however, that was never to happen most likely because of the COVID-19 virus and possibly also due to the fact that the producers desired to create a perfect adaptation.

In the meantime we didn’t have any information about the date for the premiere for Season 17 on Bleach until the December 2021 Jump Fest panel. jump Fest panel announced, in writing the fact that Bleach will return to screens in October 2022 for the fall 2022 season which is usually the most popular season for anime:

The news was unofficially released via Twitter for a few days before we received the official confirmation:

Since there has been no news since then. has been made public until the 2021 December Jump Festival at which point we were able to know more details.

Bleach New Season Plot

As we’ve learned that season 17 of Bleach will adapt from the Quincy Blood War arc. We’ll just provide a brief overview of the entire arc and attempt not to give away too details about the bloody events that occur in the show.

Yhwach first is seen first appears when Luders Friegen comes back to Silbern, which is the base in the Vandenreich. He witnesses Luders fighting against Asguiaro Ebern, and this makes him furious. He declares that he doesn’t like fighting and cuts Luders arm as punishment for his argument, which ends in him falling to the floor in discomfort.

Luders struggling to get up, but Yhwach lets Luders to talk to Luders lying on his back. But, he’ll slice off his legs as they are not needed. He kneels in a hurry while Yhwach confronts him with a wry question about the amount he estimated for his five-day preparation required to fight the battle to defeat Soul Society.

He ridicules him, asking if he’s prophetic, however, the latter denies the claim, which causes Yhwach to inquire why he told that he was going to be a prophet, when the only thing he wanted was to know what was going on. At the moment, he is not able to finish the task. Then he focuses on Ebern. The Yhwach acknowledges that there is no motive to be awed or condemn his actions, given that he’s effectively delaying Ichigo Kurosaki.

The Arrancar, then, declares that his duty is over and that the last one would be among the stones in the construction of peace after his demise and takes him to the grave. Jugram Haschwalth asks Yhwach to decide if it’s appropriate to murder the Arrancar since he’s an army soldier and can fight.

He ignores this and takes the steps that formed in a chamber beneath his throne. He asserts that he is able to obtain more Arrancars as they like due to Hueco Mundo as he is under their supervision since they hold Tia Halibel in prison.

Then they discuss Ebern’s locket that was used , but not succeeded in locking Ichigo’s Bankai. Yhwach concedes his “hotheads” sometimes come in handy, and that a specific strategy is required to stop Ichigo. He instructs Haschwalth to contact the Jagdarmee to return Arrancars with courage.

Then, when he discovers that a war among Ichigo as well as Quilge Opie is brewing He realizes that this is the perfect time to enter Soul Society and then summons all the Stern Ritters to take over Seireitei.

Bleach Season 17 Cast

In the present, the Quincy War arc introduced a number of new characters to the series, so be prepared to hear new voices when the next season comes to the screen. Additionally, many characters go missing in this season and you can expect to hear some of their voices for the final time.

In the event that the actors are confirmed we don’t yet know which actors will return and who won’t however we can assume the following: Masakazu Morita (Ichigo Kurosaki), Fumiko Orikasa (Rukia Kuchiki), and Ryotaro Okiayu (Byakuya Kuchiki) will reprise their roles, as they all were in the unveiling of the 20th Anniversary Project back in March of 2020.

The official list of cast members with some new characters who will make their debut on Season 17 was unveiled in the month of December 2021. It was part of the Jump Fest‘s event, where we were able to meet the majority of the actors for season 17 and the following are:

Masakazu Morita as Ichigo KurosakiFumiko Orikasa as Rukia KuchikiNoriaki Sugiyama as Uryu IshidaYuki Matsuoka as Orihime InoueHiroki Yasumoto as Yasutora SadoKentaro Ito as Renji AbaraiShinichiro Miki as Kisuke UraharaSatsuki Yukino as Yoruichi ShihoinBinbin Takaoka (replacing Masaaki Tsukada) as Genryusai Shigekuni YamamotoHouko Kuwashima as Sui-FengShouto Kashii as Rojuro OtoribashiAya Hisakawa as Retsu UnohanaMasaya Onosaka as Shinji HirakoRyotaro Okiayu as Byakuya KuchikiTetsu Inada as Sajin KomamuraAkio Ohtsuka as Shunsui KyorakuTomokazu Sugita as Kensei MugurumaRomi Park as Toshiro HitsugayaFumihiko Tachiki as Kenpachi ZarakiRyusei Nakao as Mayuri KurotsuchiHideo Ishikawa as Jushiro UkitakeNaomi Kusumi as Ichibe HyosubeYoji Ueda as Oetsu MimaiyaTomoyuki Shimura as Tenjiro KirinjiRina Satou as Senjumaru ShutaraAyumi Tsunematsu as Kirio HikifuneTakayuki Sugo as YhwachYuichiro Umehara as Jugram HaschwalthShunsuke Takeuchi as Askin Nakk Le VaarAyana Taketatsu as Bambietta BasterbineYuki Ono as Bazz-BYumi Uchiyama as Candice CatnippNatsuki Hanae as Gremmy ThoumeauxSatoshi Hino as Lille Barro

It’s, of course, not the complete cast list. More names are expected to be introduced throughout the show, however, we’re pleased that our initial expectations pertaining with the casting were right because we had assumed that all the cast members from the beginning would be returning (save for Tsukada Yamamoto’s voice actor who passed away during 2014).

Who Will Animate Bleach New Season ?

At first there was no information regarding the studio which is creating the Bleach Season 17. We are aware that the new season isn’t going to be restricted, and based on what a violent manga it was we’re sure the show will feature amount of blood and raw material in the new season of the show.

There are rumors that MAPPA is expected to take the animation of Pierrot who created the original series, however until we receive confirmation from the source, we’ll need to wait and watch. Pierrot’s original animation was difficult however, as the initial film was nearing its conclusion the animation got excellent and we’re unable to understand why they would switch the artists.

The official confirmation was announced in December 2021 at the time that an event called the Jump Fest event was officially announced that Studio Pierrot will be animating this Thousand-Year Blood War arc, which has made us here in nntheblog really content.

Tomohisa Taguchi ( Twin Star Exorcists, Kino’s Journey The Beautiful World) The Beautiful World, Akudama Drive) will replace Noriyuki Abe as the director of the animation for Studio Pierrot.

Masashi Kudo has returned to the position of the designer for the characters and Shiro Sagisu has returned to compose the music. Sagisu’s return has was a huge relief for us because his work on the first series yielded some really unforgettable compositions.

Comparison Bleach manga and the Bleach 2022 anime

The show is inspired by the Bleach manga series written by writer and artist Tite Kubo. The manga was published as Weekly Shonen Jump from 2001 to 2016 the Bleach manga concluded volume 74 by the end of Bleach Chapter 686.

The official English version to the Bleach manga was published through North American publisher VIZ Media. Bleach: The English Bleach Volume 74 came out in the month of October in 2018.

The manga was the basis for the anime’s story from Episode 64 onwards, where multiple original anime story arcs were created in order to allow Kubo the time to develop novel manga chapter. These filler episodes continued through Episode 110. However, the anime continued to depend on filler several times over the years.

Episodes 128 through 137 as well as Episodes 168 to 189, Episodes 230 – 265 and Episode 311 to 342 included filler. Naturally, this level of filler isn’t typical of the anime genre, and watching this Bleach manga is an entirely distinct experience.

The Bleach Season 16 anime finished with the adaptation of The Lost Substitute Shinigami anime which was followed in manga chapter 424 to 479.

Bleach Season 17 anime will continue in The Bleach: Thousand-Year Blood War The arc (also called The Quincy arc) that includes chapters 480-686. It is likely that the show will not heavily rely in filler scenes this season.

If Bleach’s new season is able to adapt the entire length of the story’s arc, it could be able to alter the Bleach manga’s conclusion. However, it’s likely to take several seasons because we’re talking about over 200 chapters. That represents almost one third of the manga.

The positive news is that English-only manga readers can begin reading in the present. The downside is that the new season of Bleach’s run is likely to end the anime series, unless the possibility of a Bleach manga series sequel scheduled.
