Bleach: Thousand-Year Blood War part 3 is coming to a close, and it’s set to go down as the anime’s strongest part to date. In addition to having some of the best animation of the year, part 3 has had far more divergences from the manga compared to the first two parts, and thanks to that, it finally feels like the anime is fulfilling the promise of improving the manga.

Bleach: Thousand-Year Blood War part 3 has been great to watch, and part 4 is already set to be even better. Part 4 is reportedly already in production, and while there isn’t anything specifically known about it, Bleach creator Tite Kubo has already given fans reason to believe that part 4 will be the biggest part of the anime, by far. The manga is generally agreed to have fallen off in the portion that part 4 will cover, so it already receiving that level of hype is great to see.

Bleach’s Creator Reveals Just How Big The Anime’s Final Season Will Be

Why Bleach: Thousand-Year Blood War's Final Season Will Be Its Best

Bleach creator Tite Kubo recently participated in a Q&A session on the anime’s official TikTok where he and other people, naturally, talked about the anime. For the most part, Kubo and the other guests didn’t say much beyond their general thoughts about the anime, but when the conversation turned to part 4, Tite Kubo said that Bleach: Thousand-Year Blood War part 4 will have more original content than ever before to the point of there being entire episodes of new material.

Bleach: Thousand-Year Blood War part 4 having entire episodes of original content is great to think about. It wasn’t until part 3 that the anime’s original content was being used to change the story in dramatic and overall impactful ways, and if that continues with part 4, then Bleach: Thousand-Year Blood War part 4 could finally capitalize on the idea of the anime significantly changing the original manga. Bleach: Thousand-Year Blood War has been great so far, and if part 4 is going to go even further, then that’s something plenty worth looking forward to.

What Bleach: Thousand-Year Blood War Part 4 Needs To Change To Be A Great Finale

Bleach: Thousand-Year Blood War part 4 promises a lot of changes to the manga, and there are more than a few key points that would benefit from that. For starters, while the final parts of the story made a big point about Isshin and Ryuken’s involvement, their only contribution was delivering an arrow designed to negate Yhwach’s powers. Most people agree that was rather anticlimactic considering how heavily involved Yhwach was in their lives, and as such, Bleach: Thousand-Year Blood War part 4 would greatly benefit from giving Isshin and Ryuken more to do in the final battle.

The biggest changes, of course, need to be seen in the final fights of the series. Between the lack of resolution to the fight with Gerard, how the power of Ichigo’s new Bankai was never revealed, and the overall anticlimactic nature of Yhwach’s defeat, the promise of an increased amount of original content in Bleach: Thousand-Year Blood War part 4 is the perfect opportunity to give the final fights the conclusions they deserve. Bleach: Thousand-Year Blood War has been great from the moment it premiered, and fortunately, its finale is set up to be appropriately grand in scale.
