Bleach Thousand Year Blood War Episode 1 Preview: When, Where and How to Watch!

The little brother among The Big Three has risen again, as Bleach is back to claim its spot as a shonen legend. Bleach Thousand Year Blood War Episode 1 is the first episode of Bleach’s final arc, an action, fantasy, and supernatural anime directed by Tomohisa Taguchi and based on an original manga written by Tite Kubo. The episode is also known as Bleach TYBW Episode 1 and Bleach Sennen Kessen-hen Episode 1.

The series is based in a world where spirits are guided towards the afterlife by a group of protectors named “Soul-Reapers”. They are their sole defence against various other negative aspects of souls, such as the corrupted hollows, the powerful Arrancars, and bad Soul Reapers out to destroy the balance of the world. Speaking of Balance, the latest season revolves around Quincies, the natural enemy of the Soul Reapers, and their war against the entire soul society.

Bleach Thousand Year Blood War sees our favourite substitute Soul-reaper, Ichigo Kurosaki, alongside all of his friends and the entirety of the Soul Reaper force from the Soul Society, go up against the Quincy King. He has come to fulfil the prophecy of being the one to put an end to the war between the two rival forces and erase the reapers from this universe forever. This is the hardest challenge Ichigo has ever faced. Let’s see if he comes out on top!

Bleach Thousand Year Blood War Episode 1 Plot

Ichigo, Orihime, Uryu, and Chad receive a rude awakening in the form of a huge swarm of hollows heading to Karakura town. Something is amiss, and it is up to the group to figure out what it is and save the town while doing so. Meanwhile, a group of strange people make an announcement in the Soul Society as the war between Soul Reapers and Quincies finally begins. The patrons at NYCC have given us some hints as to where this is going, but the only thing that matters here is that everyone, in unison, agreed that it was fantastic.
