‘Bleach: Thousand-Year Blood War 2’ Will Come Out in July, According to New Advertisement

Soul Reapers and Wandenreich have been at war for a thousand years, and part one of “Bleach: Thousand-Year Blood War” finally lets them go to war with each other. Ichigo’s genuine Zanpakut and his part-Quincy ancestry were only two of the many secrets and new abilities that were unveiled during this arc.

A friend, though, is quietly switching sides behind the scenes. Ury’s Sternritter attire foreshadows an impending showdown with his pals.

VIZ Media released a new key graphic and the third promotional video for “Bleach: Thousand-Year Blood War” on Sunday. Part 2’s opening theme music is featured in the video, and the release date of July 8 is announced. The show will be available on Hulu and Disney+.

At the start of the video, Yhwach anoints Uryū as his successor. With his new Zanpakutō equipped, Ichigo readies himself for fight. The combat itself is depicted in a number of sequences later on. At the conclusion, Ichigo reappears, this time accompanied by a voice telling him he must become more than just an average Soul Reaper.

The theme song “Stars” for the sequel was performed by W.O.D. The following are the four newly announced cast members:
