EveryBleachfan comes across at least one discussion about the ‘Hell Arc’. While the arc doesn’t exist, the possibility was sparked by a special chapter Tite Kubo released for the 20th anniversary of the manga series. Since then the chapter has remained a hot topic of discussion among fans.
As theThousand-Year Blood Waranime is nearing its end with every episode, the attention shifts back to Hell Arc and whether Kubo will finally get to it once he’s done with the ongoing anime. Many fans are unaware of the special chapter, and the interesting possibility it suggests.
The open conclusion of the series suggests that Head Captain Yamamoto and Unohana could make a comeback if Kubo chooses to expand the universe. But before that, here’s everything you need to know about the special one-shot and the interesting possibilities it presents.
No Breathes From Helland The Hell Arc ofBleachExplained
Years afterBleachended,Tite Kuboreleased a special chapter as a part of the 20th-anniversary celebration of his manga series. Titled ‘No Breathes from Hell’, the chapter showed what life was like forBleachcharacters after the war. It made an interesting revelation about what happened to some of the strongest captains after their deaths.

We saw that Ichigo’s son is capable of going to hell and many strong captains went to hell after their death including Head General Yamamoto, Unohana, and speculatively Ukitake as well. Their immense powers are causing an imbalance in hell. This caught fans’ attention as they hoped to see more of what was going on in hell.
The chapter also ended on an open note suggesting that Kubo could expand the events ofthis chapteras a potential sequel to theThousand-Year Blood War arc. Since then, fans have started referring to the special one-shot as ‘Hell Arc’ and are eagerly waiting for any potential updates.
Bleach Special ChapterHints at the Return of the Strongest Captains
The most interesting part of the one-shot was the implication that if Kubo decides to explore the hell further, we could see the return of some of the strongest captains in the series. It’s common knowledge that after a Soul Reaper’s death, their body dissolves into reishi and returns to the world. However, Head General Yamamoto was extremely strong and to maintain the balance between the three realms, he was sent to heaven.
Similarly, Unohana and Ukitake are also in hell. Many fans suspect that the captains could even return as villains. Having a villain as strong as Yamamoto would be exciting on a whole different level. Moreover, we might see Unohana and Ukitake’s Bankai as well.
