TV anime “BLEACH” announced the release of a microfiber towel with designs of the main characters including Kurosaki Ichigo, Kuchiki Byakuya, and Hitsugaya Tojiro, as they are “meeting up” with someone. The products are currently accepting pre-orders on “Animo,” an e-commerce website specializing in anime and comics.
The original work of “BLEACH” is a comic by Kubo Tite which was serialized on “Weekly Shonen Jump” from 2001 to 2016. It is a swashbuckler battle action comic that centers around the main character Kurosaki Ichigo, a young man who gains the power of a reaper through a chance encounter and becomes a “Substitute Reaper”. The original series has sold more than 120 million copies and maintains high popularity even after its conclusion.
The TV anime started broadcasting in October 2014 and has aired over 360 episodes so far. The series has also released four feature films.
Eight years after the conclusion of the previous TV anime series, “BLEACH” has newly animated the final chapter of the comic titled “The Thousand-Year Blood War arc” for the first time, which will start its broadcast in October 2022.
The new anime will depict the climax of the comic, particularly the deep affinity between the Shinigami and Quincy that lasts for a thousand years and the veiled roots of the protagonist, Kurosaki Ichigo.
This time, the official website has announced the sales of a microfiber towel with nine different illustrations of each character, who all seem to be meeting up with someone.
The lineups are Kurosaki Ichigo, Ishida Uryu, Abarai Renji, Urahara Kisuke, Kuchiki Byakuya, Hisugaya Tojiro, Ginjo Kugo, Yukio Hans Vorarlberna, and Tsukishima Shuukuro. The ways the characters dress well is a must-check for the fans.
“BLEACH Microfiber Towel” is 660 yen each (tax included). The pre-order will be available until April 22nd.
