Following the first three seasons of Bleach: Thousand-Year Blood War, the Soul Society has re-established itself as one of the biggest factors of the anime world once again. While the shonen series was once considered a part of Shonen Jump’s “Big Three,” the cancellation of the manga and anime previously left Ichigo Kurosaki and company in a bad spot. As fans wait to learn when the conclusion of the Blood War will arrive, creator Tite Kubo is hinting at a big announcement for the once crestfallen shonen franchise that has re-emerged as a major player in the medium.
Tite Kubo might not be working on new manga chapters for Bleach but that hasn’t stopped the shonen mangaka from remaining a heavy part of the franchise. In recent years, the artist has been working with Studio Pierrot on the Thousand-Year Blood War’s anime adaptation, adding new scenes to the series that weren’t present in the manga. Taking to social media once again, Kubo has shared a mysterious image that shonen fans might be familiar with, hinting at big news that might arrive on March 21st later this month. This might not be a confirmation of Blood War news but it is hinting at something for the Soul Society.

What is This Symbol?
In case you’re in need of a reminder, the image posted by Tite Kubo on his social media is associated with the “Substitute Shinigami.” Although Ichigo Kurosaki now holds the title as the strongest Soul Reaper, he still bears that designation. Given that Kubo tagged “Bleach Anime” in this teaser, it’s reasonable to assume that this hints at the revival of the television show, though there may be other possibilities under consideration.
Initially, let me clarify that we’re discussing “Bleach Rebirth of Souls,” a new fighting game from Bandai Namco which is set to launch later this month on the 21st. This exciting news might just be Kubo hinting at the release. However, there’s another significant hint that fans are eagerly anticipating.
Could Bleach’s Manga Return?
Tite Kubo might have his hands full with the Thousand-Year Blood War’s anime adaptation but the Studio Pierrot production is almost at its end. The manga artist has not confirmed that he will make a return to Bleach’s manga but released a special one-shot titled “Bleach: No Breathes From Hell.” Taking place years after the Blood War, the story shows Ichigo Kurosaki and his friends in far different places in their lives while setting the stage for a major conflict.
Thanks to Bleach’s resurgence, it isn’t out of the question that the manga might make a comeback. Adding additional manga material to spawn further anime seasons would make sense though it might be quite some time before we see the Soul Society make a comeback following the conclusion of the Thousand-Year Blood War.
