Tite Kubo’s Involvement in Bleach: Thousand-Year Blood War Part 3 Could Make It Generational

Despite the long wait, fans have eagerly anticipated news about the release of the Bleach: Thousand-Year Blood War part 3 anime. Although an official announcement may not be imminent, recent updates from Studio Pierrot staff indicate that fans will not be disappointed when the anime finally premieres.

Tite Kubo, the creator of the series manga, has been actively participating in the production of the anime. This is to ensure that the anime reaches the same level of excellence as his manga series. Although some fans may have doubts, it is highly likely that Tite Kubo’s involvement in the anime will elevate it to a generational masterpiece.

How is Tite Kubo’s involvement in Bleach: Thousand-Year Blood War Part 3?

According to the latest interview with Studio Pierrot staff, Tite Kubo, the creator of the manga, has taken on the role of General Director/Supervisor in the production of the anime. He appears to be overseeing various aspects of the production such as the scripts, voice acting, and storyboards.

In 2021, Tomohisa Taguchi, the main director of the anime, initially shared this information. However, fans did not give it much thought as it was not uncommon for a manga creator to be involved in the adaptation of their series. Recently, the staff members have disclosed that the manga creator may have a greater role in the adaptation than initially assumed by fans.

The anime’s staff announced their decision to bring the anime up to par with the manga series.

Tite Kubo himself also chimed in on the issue, revealing that he had been closely monitoring the anime quality and production for Bleach: Thousand-Year Blood War part 3. As time went on, he took on the role of supervisor and became more and more involved in the production process, even making key decisions such as storyboards for specific episodes.

Typically, when a manga is adapted into an anime, there are slight variations in the story and art quality compared to the original manga. As a result, Tite Kubo has been working to eliminate any inconsistencies in the scenes.

Moreover, the anime staff members have disclosed that Tite Kubo has been solely responsible for creating all anime-original scenes. This decision was made in order to further develop the characters and storylines that were not fully explored during the manga’s serialization.

It is possible that Tite Kubo’s heavy involvement in the anime’s production is the reason for the delay in releasing another chapter of Bleach’s Echoing Jaws of Hell Arc. However, once the anime adaptation is completed, it is hoped that the manga creator will resume the serialization of the manga.

Despite the limited number of manga chapters, fans can still witness Tite Kubo’s creativity in action through the upcoming Bleach: Thousand-Year Blood War part 3 and part 4 anime.
