Bleach Creator Addresses Frustrations with “Annoying” Anime Leaksters

Bleach has kicked off the eagerly awaited Part 3 of the Thousand-Year Blood War (TYBW), but the series is facing an influx of episode leaks that have caught the attention of fans – and it’s not sitting well with one of its scriptwriters.

New episodes of Bleach TYBW Part 3 are released every Saturday, yet images from the series frequently surface on social media. With Episode 29 set to air on October 19, 2024, viewers have already glimpsed Aizen’s appearance in this installment.

In addition to this, various other frames have also made waves among fans. Despite this, scriptwriter Masaki Hiramatsu is urging the community to refrain from sharing these leaks.

On Twitter/X, Hiramatsu expressed his frustration, stating, “It’s incredibly bothersome when episodes are leaked internationally, and it’s likely illegal. I will be blocking anyone who spreads this content. Please, just stop.”

It’s really annoying when the next episodes are leaked from overseas, and it’s illegal. I’m going to actively block people who repost stuff like that. Please stop doing that.

In response, one viewer mentioned, “I apologize for chiming in. I woke up to find myself spoiled this morning. It’s quite irritating. I was particularly excited about Aizen’s episode, but…”

Hiramatsu added, “This issue is genuinely concerning. To dodge any spoilers, I advise unfollowing such accounts. Nonetheless, I believe the main narrative will prove to be more captivating than what the leaks indicate, so stay tuned!”

“It’s really disheartening and disrespectful. I believe the only thing that will teach these individuals a lesson is strong legal action,” commented another fan.

“Absolutely! We need to honor the dedication and hard work that the Bleach team invests in the anime! Please refrain from leaking any content,” a third fan stressed.

The latest season has started with exhilarating battles, such as Uryu confronting Senjumaru and Ichigo versus Yhwach, all within just two episodes.

However, with Ichigo’s actions leading to the Soul King’s demise due to his Quincy instincts, the world teeters on the edge of chaos. Episode 29 will showcase a flashback from Jushiro Ukitake, including exclusive scenes for the anime, and fans can look forward to the return of the beloved antagonist, Sosuke Aizen.
