Bleach mangaka Tite Kubo has shared new artwork featuring Rangiku Matsumoto, the lieutenant of the 10th Division of the Gotei 13. The image, posted on Twitter, shows Rangiku wearing stylish streetwear and looking at herself in a mirror with a contemplative expression. The artwork showcases Kubo’s fashion sense and talent for drawing fashionable outfits. This attention to fashion is not new to Bleach, as the original anime series often featured characters wearing trendy clothing that reflected their personalities. The trend continues in the new anime series, Bleach: Thousand-Year Blood War, with the opening theme animation showcasing characters like Ichigo Kurosaki, Renji Abarai, Uryū Ishida, and Rukia Kuchiki in fashionable attire.
Bleach: Thousand-Year Blood War adapts the final chapters of Kubo’s manga, which were not included in the first anime adaptation by Studio Pierrot. The story revolves around a conflict between the Soul Society and the Wandenreich, a secret Quincy empire. The anime introduces new characters, such as the enigmatic members of the Zero Division and the villainous Yhwach, while also focusing on returning characters like Captains Shunsui Kyoraku and Shinji Hirako. The second cour of Thousand-Year Blood War premiered in the summer of 2023 alongside other highly anticipated series.
The ongoing war between the Soul Society and the Wandenreich experiences major developments in the second part of Thousand-Year Blood War. Fractures in loyalty and cohesion among the highest-ranking members of the Wandenreich, known as the Sternritter, begin to emerge. The anime also showcases personal developments for Ichigo, the protagonist, both on and off the battlefield. Notably, some viewers have pointed out the absence of Ichigo’s signature hollow mask, suggesting his growth as a warrior and his evolving relationship with his inner hollow.
Thousand-Year Blood War is available for streaming on Hulu in the United States and Disney+ internationally. Fans can also watch the original Bleach anime series on Hulu. Tite Kubo’s artwork featuring Rangiku Matsumoto highlights the unique fashion sense and talent for designing outfits that captivate fans.
