The trailer mostly showed Asguiaro Ebern, Quilde Opie, Bazz-B, Bambietta Basterbine, and Jugram Haschwalth, who are all Stern Ritter characters.
Gotei 13, made up of both new and old leaders, was also brought in. This made the battlefield fair for both the Soul Society and Quincy.
“Father of the Quincy” Yhwach woke up after sleeping for 900 years and gave the Soul Society a nine-day countdown. At the end of the trailer, a voice tells Ichigo that he needs to guard the Soul Society.
The first episode of the Bleach: Thousand Year Blood War anime was shown in October 2022, as part of the fall anime season.
Bleach: Thousand Year Blood War is the last part of the manga series Bleach. The adaptation is also being made by the animation company Pierrot.
Studio Pierrot also made the 16 seasons of Bleach that were shown on TV Tokyo from October 2004 to March 2012.
Plot/Storyline
The long-awaited “Thousand Year Blood Battle” will start season 17 of Bleach. It comes from the last part of the book, which starts with Chapter 480 and goes through Volumes 55–74.
When Hollow Ichigo suddenly leaves, chaos happens. The Wanderich’s secret group will finally attack the Soul Society, causing the Shinigami and Quincy to go to war with each other.
The Wandenreich, whose name means “The Invisible Empire,” is a group of Quincy that no one knows about. The Quincy lost the war with the Shinigami a thousand years ago. After that, they ran away and made a place to hide.
They have been waiting and slowly building up their forces to win the fight they already lost.
Hollow Ichigo went missing because of the very hard training he has to go through. So he can fight Wandenreich and save the Soul Society.

Bleach Season 17 Episode Count
The number of episodes in each part of the Bleach series has never been the same. So, season 11 has only seven shows, which is the fewest of any season. The most shows are in season 14, which has 51.
So, the number of episodes in the next season could fall anywhere between these two numbers. If season 17 of Bleach uses the entire story arc, which has 218 chapters, it might have at least 50 episodes.
