Bleach Author Teases New Story With Old Protagonist

Tite Kubo might have just teased what the next Bleach manga installment will be about. Bleach fans have a lot to look forward to in the next few months, with news about the final part of Bleach: Thousand-Year Blood War expected to surface soon. Additionally, there are lots of great additions and news about Bleach: Rebirth of Souls.

Although the manga concluded nearly a decade ago, fans continue to receive new content from creator Tite Kubo, who regularly answers questions in Klub Outside, the official Bleach fan club. It’s clear that Kubo still has plenty of ideas for expanding the series, so a special chapter might drop soon.

‘Hell Arc, Please’: Tite Kubo And Bleach Account Tease New Announcement This Week

Bleach fans, rejoice! A big announcement is likely coming later this week. Could it be the long-awaited Hell Arc?

Bleach x Burn the Witch Crossover Might Be Coming

A fan recently asked what would happen if Ichigo went to London and how he would interact with the Wing Bind—essentially, what a crossover between Bleach and Burn the Witch would look like. Kubo answered that he might write a story about it one day, so he’s keeping the details under wraps for now.

Since both stories are officially set in the same universe and only a few years apart, fans have long speculated about a potential crossover, so it’s good that Kubo has confirmed that he might eventually work on it.

What About The Long-Awaited Hell Arc?

A few years ago, Kubo released a special chapter titled “No Breathes from Hell,” teasing that the Hell Arc would be coming. Since the original manga hinted at this arc, fans have long hoped that Kubo would eventually continue the story. Many were disappointed with the manga’s ending, feeling not only dissatisfied with the conclusion, but also that there was still much left unexplored.

Unfortunately, no updates have surfaced since the release of the special chapter in 2023. Still, many fans hope that the arc will begin after the Bleach: TYBW anime is concluded. Bleach: TYBW Part 4 is expected to be released in 2026. A Bleach panel is scheduled for July 4 at Anime Expo, where new information about the anime should be revealed.

Tite Kubo has also hinted at a sequel to the Burn the Witch manga released in 2020, though no new chapters have been released so far.
