In an interview during the release of the second season ofBleach: Thousand-Year Blood War, Tite Kubo, the creator of the series, made a grave mistake. He revealed some important information about theBleachanime series, after which, Shueisha, the Japanese publishing company, was forced to cut an entire part of his interview.
According to reports, Kubo shared some exclusive details about the captain of the 13th division of the Gotei 13, Jūshirō Ukitake, and his connection to Hell in theBleachnarrative. Although the connection between the two has already been discussed in the manga, Kubo must have revealed something extremely intriguing for Shueisha to take such a step.
The revelation was made by the interviewer, Chiaaki Matsuzawa who was interviewing Kubo for the Krew beInside special show on Jump Comics YouTube channel. She later pointed out that the part about Ukitake and Hell’s Phosphorus was removed from the interview entirely.

Hell inBleachis a place where the souls who do not reach the Soul Society of Hueco Mundo. Ukitake was cast into hell because, after his death in the series, the spiritual component of his soul was too dense for Soul Society.
