Bleach Thousand Year Blood-War part 3 is arguably one of the most anticipated Fall 2024 season anime, steadily approaching its official premiere. The anime will be a continuation of Bleach's Thousand Year Blood War arc and has consistently gained hype ever since its trailer in September 2023.

Although the various anime snapshots have managed to build up anticipation for the anime, recently, the complete version of its opening song was leaked on several social media sites, including Twitter, mere weeks ahead of its official premiere on October 5, 2024.

Bleach Thousand Year Blood-War part 3 will officially premiere on October 5, 2024, as part of the Fall 2024 anime season. The complete episode count is currently unknown, but it is expected to have 23-24 episodes, with numerous anime-original scenes expanding upon the somewhat rushed events of the TYBW arc in the manga.

Recently, many accounts on Twitter, including "@MBarcamilan," leaked the complete version of the Bleach Thousand Year Blood-War part 3 opening song without the visuals. The song is simply a completed version of the snippets used in various teasers and trailers for part 3. It is titled Kotoba Ni Sezu Tomo and performed by the band SIX LOUNGE.

The leaked opening is 95 seconds long, with the actual visuals and opening sequence still absent. The staff behind the anime has already expressed that part 3 will have many additional anime original sequences, making part 3 one of the most anticipated and pivotal Bleach releases ever.

Such leaks have become rather common of late, with the most recent ones being Dandadan's opening sequence and a few episodes, along with the entire Terminator Zero anime, leaked before release. The Bleach Thousand Year Blood-War part 3 episodes have not yet been leaked.

Bleach Thousand Year Blood-War part 3 will be animated by Studio Pierrot and will be available for streaming on Hulu, Disney Plus, and Ani-One Asia. The story of part 3 will conclude the Yhwach vs. Ichibei fight and mark the return of Aizen, along with the actual onscreen appearance of the Soul King.
