What is Bleach’s ‘Hell Arc’ and why it could return soon

In 2021, Bleach fans were treated to an exciting surprise. Five years after the manga ended its serialization, a special one-shot chapter appeared in Weekly Shonen Jump to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the series. Titled “No Breathes from Hell,” this was more than a homage or a treat to longtime fans of Tite Kubo’s work: It showed how Bleach‘s story continued, 12 years after the end of the war with the Quincy, and teased that a whole new arc could be coming.
