Bleach Shares Special Aizen Holiday Surprise For Anime Fans

As a die-hard fan who has followed Bleach since its early days, I can hardly contain my excitement for what the third cour of the anime comeback brings! The Shinigami’s reliance on Aizen, once their biggest adversary, is a testament to the unpredictable nature of this series. Although confined, Aizen still poses a formidable threat in the face of Yhwach and his Wandenreich.

In the storyline of Bleach’s Thousand-Year Blood War, Yhwach and the Wandenreich aren’t simply the antagonists on the sideline; instead, they pose significant threats to the Soul Society’s ongoing battle. Interestingly, the third season of the anime revival has shown the Shinigami relying heavily on a member who has grown into one of the afterlife’s most formidable adversaries – none other than Aizen, despite being vanquished by Ichigo Kurosaki years prior. His power hasn’t waned and now, as a holiday treat for fans, Bleach has sprung a delightful surprise!

Despite Aizen aligning with the Shinigami to take on the Quincy army, this fact doesn’t mean that the Soul Society is taking any chances. In releasing the Soul Reaper traitor, current leader Shunsui Kyoraku still has Aizen confined to a chair in the fight against Yhwach’s forces. As the past threat demonstrates, not having the use of his hands or legs still makes him far more powerful than the vast majority of combatants on the playing field. As the Blood War approaches its grand finale, it will be interesting to see the role that Aizen has to play in the final episodes and how Ichigo reacts to the villain once again seeing the light of day.

Aizen’s Christmas Surprise

To express gratitude towards dedicated Bleach fans who patiently waited for Soul Society’s return on screen, Studio Pierrot offers a special treat: an updated wallpaper featuring one of the series’ most notorious villains in holiday attire. Although it might be unlikely to witness Aizen distributing presents or globe-trotting to ensure everyone has a joyful holiday season, this wallpaper is as close as anime fans can get to such a scenario.

Will Aizen Survive?

For those who follow manga, it’s clear whether Aizen survives his battle with the Quincy clan. However, viewers of the anime may be taken aback by how the Blood War concludes and its implications for the former antagonist. Despite the third season coming to an end later this month, a significant number of episodes are yet to air in 2025, so stay tuned for any updates on a possible release date for this anticipated anime comeback.
