A cornerstone of the global anime world, “BLEACH” stands alongside “Naruto” and “One Piece” as one of the original “Big Three” shonen anime; the defining franchises that introduced an entire generation to the medium and built the passionate international fandom that makes theatrical events such as this one possible. With more than 130 million manga copies sold worldwide, more than 62 million hours streamed on Hulu, and VIZ Media social content generating more than 25 million views and 105+ million impressions in 2025 alone, “BLEACH” has never been more culturally vital.
