The new Bleach TYBW Part 3 trailer was revealed first at the Anime Expo 2024. Later, Aniplex's official YouTube channel streamed the PV worldwide. The promotional video begins with the Soul Reaper captains chanting "Bankai."

As Ichigo shouts Bankai, the trailer begins playing the opening theme, Kotoba ni Zuzu to mo (Without any Last Words), performed by SIX LOUNGE, in the background. Following that, we see Ichigo Kurosaki's special moments from previous installments, like his clashing against Yhwach and demonstrating Getsuga Jujisho.

Bleach TYBW Part 3 trailer then shows the previous Bankai releases, featuring Byakuya's Senbonzakura Kageyoshi, Toshiro's Daiguren Hyorinmaru, Soifon's Jakuho Raikoben, Genryusai's Zanka no Tachi, Shinji's Sakashima Yokoshima Happofusagari, and others.

Interestingly, we see Ichibe Hyosube stripping the series logo of its colors, leaving it dark. The neon lights are painted black, symbolizing that the upcoming season will be darker than the previous ones.

Following that, Shunsui Kyoraku asks everyone if they are ready, as the Bleach TYBW Part 3 trailer truly commences with a teaser of his Bankai. Shunsui's Bankai scene in the trailer is directly adapted from Chapter 647 of Tite Kubo's manga, where he uses it as a last resort against Lille Barro.

The art style retains the manga's vigor, adding colors to Tite Kubo's genius. With SIX LOUNGE's OP playing in the background, we see Ichigo Kurosaki deflecting several Quincy Arrows with his Zanpakuto.

This particular scene in the trailer all but confirms that Part 3 will contain an anime original battle scene between Ichigo Kurosaki and Uryu Ishida. The Quincy arrows are Uryu's, lending the theory its credibility. Undoubtedly, Pierrot Films has done a wonderful job choreographing Ichigo's movements to SIX Lounge's opening theme.

After a teaser of Ichigo vs. Uryu, the trailer moves to Ichigo Kurosaki demonstrating Getsuga Tensho at Yhwach. The scene elevates the manga, with particle effects and Yhwach's reaction.

The short clip then showcases Ichibei Hyosube's fury against Yhwach. Pierrot Films has taken a different approach to showing Ichibei's ultimate attack, Futen Taisatsuryo, giving the scene a monochromatic tone.

The animation of Yhwach charging at Ichigo further highlights Pierrot Film's production prowess. However, the studio managed to raise several questions with the trailer.

For example, there's an anime original scene where Quincy King destroys Reio (Soul King), with Schutzstafflel lending their powers to him. Since Tite Kubo is heavily involved in Bleach TYBW Part 3's production, the upcoming installment will possibly extend Soul King's death scene with original sequences.

The trailer moves to the next half, with the ending theme, MONOCHROME by Suiso, playing in the background. The second half of Bleach TYBW Part 3 trailer teases Soul King's death, as Shunsui Kyoraku reacts in horror.

Jushiro Ukitake's ultimate sacrifice is also teased in the trailer, as we blood in his mouth. At a brisk pace, the trailer then highlights Mimihagi (The Right Arm of the Soul King), Ikkaku Madarame, and Shuhei Hisagi's struggle against the creatures manifested by Soul King's released powers, and Renji Abarai's determination.

Bleach TYBW Part 3 trailer also subtly teases Mayuri Kurotsuchi's Bankai against Pernida, as he tweaks his Zanpakuto. Following that, the PV transitions to Uryu Ishida's battle against Senjumaru Shutara. The Quincy effortlessly dodges her restraints, and counters with his arrows, and possibly his Schrift.

Bazz B appears in the PV, with his eyes gaining new resolve. According to the manga, Bazz B sides with the Shinigami, after realizing the true motive of Yhwach. Additionally, the short clip showcases an anime original scene, featuring the Sun Gate, a portal Quincies use to transport from one large place to another.

Besides that, we see Yhwach's Schutzstaffels, Askin Nakk le Vaar, Lille Barro, Pernida Parnkgjas, and Gerald Valkyrie. Pierrot Films further hypes up Part 3, ending the trailer with Ichigo vs. Yhwach. The PV shows Ichigo being controlled against his will due to the Quincy Blood.

Interestingly, an eerily synced voice of Jugram Haschwalth and Yhwach continues, even after the trailer's ending. It was revealed in the Thousand-Year Blood War arc that Jugram serves as the substitute for Yhwach when the Quincy King sleeps.

Considering Jugram is the other half of Yhwach, the synchronization of their voices makes sense in the short clip. The final moments of the trailer reveal a poem, which symbolizes Quincy's hatred for the Soul Reapers.

Jugram and Yhwach rouse their troops to weigh them with hope because the world is on a scale. If one side is laden with hope, the other side will be filled with despair.

They want their comrades to never succumb to despair, but wrapt themselves in the veil of hope, so that everything, besides them, can sink into the pit of despair. Bleach TYBW Part 3 trailer ends on a grim reminder of Quincies' hatred, and their unyielding resolve to seek revenge.
