Get ready, Soul Reapers! The world of Bleach is buzzing with anticipation as franchise creator Tite Kubo has been teasing a major announcement for March 21st, this Friday!
For days, Kubo has been posting a cryptic countdown on his official Twitter/X account, featuring the iconic image of Ichigo Kurosaki’s substitute Soul Reaper badge. This has sent the fanbase into a frenzy, speculating about what this could mean.
Bleach March 21 Announcement: What’s Brewing in the Soul Society?
The timing couldn’t be more intriguing. With Bleach: Thousand-Year Blood War nearing its final batch of episodes (though a release date is still under wraps), the possibilities are endless. Could this be the long-awaited release date for the final arc? Or perhaps news about the upcoming video game, Bleach: Rebirth of Souls, which is coincidentally slated for release on the same day? There’s also the ongoing development of a new live-action movie, which could be the focus of the announcement.
However, the most exciting speculation revolves around a potential reboot of the original Bleach anime. The overwhelming success and stunning animation of Thousand-Year Blood War have reignited calls for a complete reimagining of the original series. Fans are eager to see the entire Bleach saga brought to life with the modern animation style, improved pacing, and the elimination of filler episodes. A reboot would also introduce a new generation to the beloved franchise, further boosting its popularity.
Pierrot’s Ambitious Plans
Recent comments from Bleach producer Yoshihiro Tominaga have fueled this speculation. He revealed that animation studio Pierrot, the powerhouse behind both Thousand-Year Blood War and other popular anime like Boruto, is committed to producing top-tier anime that can compete with giants like My Hero Academia and Demon Slayer. A Bleach reboot would be a perfect fit for this ambitious goal.
Bleach is a titan in the manga and anime world, boasting over 130 million manga copies in circulation and a 16-season anime run. The franchise’s enduring popularity makes it a prime candidate for a revival.
What to Expect from Bleach Announcement Today

We’ll find out this Friday, March 21st. Stay tuned, Soul Reapers, and prepare for a potentially monumental day for Bleach fans everywhere!
