Pierrot, the studio responsible for hit shows like Naruto and Yu Yu Hakusho, aired the first Bleach adaptation from October 2004 to March 2012. The sequel series, Thousand-Year Blood War, released its first half toward the end of the previous year. It adapts the final chapters of Kubo's manga and follows the intense conflict between the Soul Society and the Wandenreich, a secretive Quincy empire. The new anime introduces a host of new characters, including members of the enigmatic Zero Division and the formidable antagonist Yhwach. It also brings back beloved characters like Renji Abarai, Byakuya Kuchiki, and Uryū Ishida. Moreover, the adaptation surprises viewers and manga readers alike with previously unseen content, including the revelation of 5th division Captain Shinji Hirako's Bankai.
