Release Date for Bleach Season 17
The first episode of Bleach aired in Japan on October 5, 2004. It had a 4:3 aspect ratio, and despite Pierrot’s poor animation. The program was a huge sensation. With viewers praising the darker tone compared to Naruto and One Piece. Kubo’s manga was one of the most popular at the time. While Bleach took a while to develop its plot. It finally outperformed most other anime series.
With the exception of a large number of filler episodes dispersed throughout the series. As well as four filler seasons. It is which diverted viewers from the main narrative. The adaptation proceeded well for the most part. The fillers were included because the anime narrative was too similar to the manga’s. And the producers needed to give Kubo more time to write before translating it.

Bleach had a total of 366 episodes in its original run. And while everyone anticipated the anime to continue. It was simply terminated. It’s thought that Bleach was canceled because production costs became too high. The anime was too close to the manga. So the producers had to choose between making another filler arc, which wasn’t profitable. Further waiting for Kubo to finish, which ultimately led to the anime’s cancellation. It was a shame because the final arc was on par with the Aizen arc. It was the core of the original anime.
However, a 20th Anniversary Bleach Project was announced in early March 2020. Further it was released later that month. Kubo published a new manga chapter explaining events in the Bleach universe following the book’s final arc. Anew spin-off manga called Burn the Witch (which would be adapted into an anime in the meantime). And – the return of the original Bleach anime series!
This announcement piqued the interest of many fans since it was now officially announced that the manga’s last arc would be adapted into an anime. The show was supposed to premiere in 2021. But it never did, owing to the COVID-19 epidemic. But also maybe because the producers wanted to polish the adaptation. For a long, there was no official word on when Bleach Season 17 would be released. Until a panel at the December 2021 Jump Fest revealed, officially, that Bleach will return to the screens in October 2022 for the Fall 2022 season. It is which is always the finest season for anime series:
Trailer for The Season
When the 20th Anniversary Project was first announced, a teaser trailer was released. Further confirming that Bleach Season 17 would be adapted. You may have a look at the teaser here: This teaser didn’t show much. But it did indicate that the Quincy War epic will be adapted in the end. With further displaying a collage of pictures from the manga that would be seen on screen. The original release date was set for 2021. But as we’ve already mentioned. It has been pushed back to 2022.
Since then, no additional information has been published until the Jump Fest in December 2021. When we were given further details. As previously mentioned, Jump Fest disclosed a slew of new information regarding the forthcoming season. Further including the release date, as well as a new teaser video featuring a slew of new imagery from the upcoming Bleach season. You can see the fantastic trailer for yourself here:
Plot of Bleach Season 17
As we already know, Bleach Season 17 will adapt the Quincy Blood War storyline. We’ll merely give you an overview of the entire arc. With trying not to give too much away about the violent events that take place. When Luders Friegen returns to Silbern, the Vandenreich’s base. He encounters Yhwach for the first time. He becomes enraged when he witnesses Luders bickering with Asguiaro Ebern.
As a result, he states that he despises disagreement and slices Luders’ arm as a punishment for disputing. Further causing him to collapse in agony. Yhwach enables Luders to speak to him. While lying down since he has trouble getting up. He will, however, amputate his legs because he does not require them. He quickly kneels, and Yhwach sarcastically inquires about his estimation of the five days. This was of preparation required for the fight against Soul Society.

He mocks him and even asks if he is a prophet, but the latter denies this. Further prompting Yhwach to question why he had informed him about the future. When all he needed to know was what was going on. He next turns his attention to Ebern. Yhwach acknowledges that he has no reason to laud or condemn him. Because he has effectively postponed Ichigo Kurosaki’s arrival.
As a result, he murders him after declaring that his duty is over. And that he would be one of the stones of the construction of peace in his death. Jugram Haschwalth then asks Yhwach whether it’s alright to murder the Arrancar. Because he’s a fighting soldier. Ignoring this comment, Yhwach climbs the newly built stairs in a room beneath his throne. It states that the Hueco Mundo may give him as many Arrancars as he wants. Because he is under their power because they have Tia Halibel imprisoned. They then talk about Ebern’s locket. It was utilized but failed to seal Ichigo’s Bankai.
Yhwach concedes that “hotheads” can be useful at times and that fending off Ichigo will need a unique strategy. He tells Haschwalth to beg the Jagdarmee to send Arrancars with guts back to him. Later, when he discovers that Ichigo and Quilge Opie are fighting. He realizes that now is the ideal time to conquer Soul Society and calls all of the Stern Ritters to assault the Seireitei.

Bleach Season 17: Who Will Animate It?
Initially, no official information about the studio that will animate Bleach Season 17 was available. We do know that the season will not be edited. And given how brutal the manga was. We should expect a lot of gore and raw violence in the upcoming season of the program.
According to several sources, MAPPA will take over Pierrot’s animation. This is which created the original anime. Still, we’ll have to wait until we receive an official confirmation. Pierrot’s first animation was a little rough at first. But as the original run drew to a close. The animation improved dramatically. And we don’t understand why they’d switch animators.
