Bleach: Thousand-Year Blood War Teases Uryu’s Big Fight With Part 3 Finale First Look

by

As an ardent anime enthusiast with a decade-long love affair with Bleach, I must say that this latest turn of events in the Thousand-Year Blood War has left me utterly spellbound. Uryu Ishida, the quirky Quincy we all knew and loved, has become Bleach’s Benedict Arnold!

The highly anticipated event in autumn, “Bleach’s Thousand-Year Blood War,” has undoubtedly been one of the year’s most significant anime happenings. As we approach 2024, it’s clear that this season finale will go out with a boom. In the third phase of the battle between Soul Society and the Quincies, one unexpected twist is Uryu Ishida aligning himself with Yhwach and his faction, the Wandenreich. Given their mutual Quincy lineage, this move isn’t entirely shocking, although many fans have been eagerly waiting for Ishida to reveal his loyalty to the Soul Reapers. Regrettably, the newest trailer seems to suggest that Uryu may have embraced the role of a villain.

Initially, the Blood War commenced due to the Soul Society’s Bankais being threatened. However, the Shinigami discovered a loophole that allowed them to continue fighting against the Sternritter. Despite regaining their attacks, they haven’t managed to guarantee victory yet. As Yhwach now possesses the power of the Soul King, it seems that he can manipulate reality at will, making it challenging for the Soul Reapers to defeat their main antagonist and his high-ranking lieutenants. Although the third season is wrapping up in 2024, fans can look forward to more episodes that will conclude the Thousand-Year Blood War.

Ishida: Bleach’s Benedict Arnold

To date, Uryu Ishida has been skillfully utilizing his newly acquired powers as Yhwach’s subordinate, a situation that forebodes danger for Ichigo Kurosaki and their allies. In a previous skirmish in this third season, Ishida overpowered Renji in a one-on-one battle; had Uryu not been equipped with his recent power enhancements, the outcome would likely have been different. While it’s debated whether Ishida is solely responsible for his actions due to his Quincy lineage, this doesn’t diminish the danger he poses to the Soul Society. A sneak peek at Ishida’s continued treachery can be found here.

Currently, it’s unclear what lies ahead for the story of Bleach in both its anime and manga forms. The fourth cour from Studio Pierrot has been confirmed, but it wraps up only the major Blood War arc, which concludes Tite Kubo’s shonen masterpiece. Although Kubo revisited his universe with a special one-shot titled “Bleach: No Breaths From Hell,” he hasn’t yet indicated if he plans to create more stories for the manga in the future.

As an observer, I find myself pondering about Studio Pierrot’s potential future endeavors beyond the Blood War. For a while now, the anime adaptation of “Boruto: Naruto Next Generations” has taken a break, with Pierrot previously mentioning their preference for a more seasonal approach to animation production. With numerous significant events from the manga waiting to be brought to life on screen, the revival of the Hidden Leaf Village could potentially scale new heights, even surpassing the current epic battle within the Soul Society in magnitude.
