Bleach: Thousand-Year Blood War Part 3 is Heating Up

Bleach: Thousand-Year Blood War Part 3 – The Conflict has been airing its new episodes this Fall, revealing an increasingly lopsided fight against Yhwach. Despite suffering significant losses, Ichigo Kurosaki and the others show no signs of surrender, and are now preparing for a daring counterattack.

Bleach: Thousand-Year Blood War's latest episode ended on a cliffhanger, with Ichigo and the Soul Reapers poised to shift the momentum of the battle now that Yhwach's powers have grown. In a stunning turn of events, the tide of the battle is set to change with the arrival of some unexpected allies. As Hueco Mundo begins to open, the highly anticipated return of Arrancar star players, Grimmjow and Nelliel, is revealed in the first look images from Bleach: Thousand-Year Blood War Episode 32.

A New Counterattack Begins

The upcoming episode, titled “The Holy Newborn,” will debut in Japan on Saturday, November 9th, and will be available to stream on Hulu for US fans and on Disney+ internationally shortly thereafter. According to Bleach's official website, Episode 32 will explore the story as follows:

"The Shinigami attempt to rebuild their defenses and prepare for a counterattack, but the cityscape of the 'Invisible Empire' – the shadowy realm that covers the Soul Society – rears up, seemingly in response. Meanwhile, Ichigo unites with Nelliel and Grimmjow Jaegerjaquez, whom he had an epic battle with in the past. Together with Fullbringers Dokugamine Riruka and Yukio Hans Vorarlberna, they launch a surprise assault on Yhwach's stronghold – the Soul King’s Palace."

As hinted at by the synopsis, this marks only the beginning of Ichigo's counterattack, bolstered by the return of these Arrancar allies, as well as other powerful entities in the world of Bleach.

An Epic Conclusion to the Final Arc

Currently, Bleach: Thousand-Year Blood War is in the midst of adapting the first part of the final two cours of the Thousand-Year Blood War arc from Tite Kubo's original Bleach manga. With a multitude of fan-favorite characters now taking center stage for this epic battle, there is no doubt that all realms are on high alert due to Yhwach's devastating decision to slay the Soul King.
