Andor season 2 is getting ready to wrap up some of the best Star Wars storytelling out there with the final three episodes, and the series has teamed up with Bleach to promote it. The characters of Bleach: Thousand-Year Blood War find themselves in poses similar to that of the Andor poster in a new collaboration visual that puts both series side by side.

You can see the results above.

Bleach: Thousand-Year Blood War Part 3: The Conflict kicked off on October 5, 2024. Tomohisa Taguchi served as chief director, with Hikaru Murata as director, Masaki Hiramatsu and Tomohisa Taguchi on series composition and Masashi Kudo on character designs for the PIERROT FILMS production. Part 4: The Calamity was announced in December, with more details on release plans to come.

VIZ Media, which publishes the Bleach manga, gave this description for Bleach: Thousand-Year Blood War:

Bleach: Thousand-Year Blood War Plot
Was it all just a coincidence, or was it inevitable?

Ichigo Kurosaki gained the powers of a Soul Reaper through a chance encounter. As a Substitute Soul Reaper, Ichigo became caught in the turmoil of the Soul Society, a place where deceased souls gather. But with help from his friends, Ichigo overcame every challenge to become even stronger.

When new Soul Reapers and a new enemy appear in his hometown of Karakura, Ichigo jumps back into the battlefield with his Zanpakuto to help those in need. Meanwhile, the Soul Society is observing a sudden surge in the number of Hollows being destroyed in the World of the Living. They also receive separate reports of residents in the Rukon District having gone missing. Finally, the Seireitei, home of the Soul Reapers, comes under attack by a group calling themselves the Wandenreich.

Led by Yhwach, the father of all Quincies, the Wandenreich declare war against the Soul Reapers with the following message: “Five days from now, the Soul Society will be annihilated by the Wandenreich.”

The history and truth kept hidden by the Soul Reapers for a thousand long years is finally brought to light.

All things must come to an end—as Ichigo Kurosaki’s final battle begins!

This comes right alongside the partnership between Detective Conan: One-eyed Flashback and Mission: Impossible – Final Reckoning.
