What Can You Expect From Bleach: Thousand-Year Blood War?
Thousand-Year Blood War (TYBW) will cover the intense battle between the Soul Society and the Quincy. The Quincy held a thousand-year-old grudge against the Soul Society and planned to eradicate every Shinigami, which the Soul Society and Ichigo’s group are aiming to stop. The Quincy’s plan does not only involve the Soul Society but also the human world and Hueco Mundo. If the Quincy race wins, they will take over every realm and rule as they please. Of course, this final Bleach arc will not be complete without a new set of characters. In fact, around 30 characters were included in this arc alone. Some of the new characters are the Sternritter but there are also new faces from the side of the Shinigami. Ichigo will be facing new enemies that will test his abilities once again. Having said that, there are a lot of epic fights to anticipate, be it a one-versus-one or a group fight. Bleach: Thousand-Year Blood War is truly an anime to look forward to. Bleach fans can finally get answers to questions they may have had from the previous seasons and witness how Ichigo’s journey ends.
So, Is It Possible to Enjoy Thousand-Year Blood War Even Without Watching the Previous Seasons?
While it is optional to watch the whole series, it might be confusing to just focus on and watch the last arc, especially for someone who doesn’t know what Bleach is all about. There are a lot of characters to know, abilities to get familiar with, and backstories to understand. Binge-watching Bleach might be overwhelming but there are also other long-running anime with 500 or even more than 1,000 episodes like One Piece. Besides, Bleach has an intriguing storyline and interesting characters that will keep viewers hooked, so watching the entire series will surely be worthwhile. Want the latest on all things anime?
