Oh. My. GOD! Fellow gamers, I can barely contain my excitement right now! As someone who's spent countless sleepless nights grinding Victory Royales and perfecting my 90s, I've just received the most MIND-BLOWING news that has me literally shaking. Fortnite is about to collide with the legendary anime Bleach in Chapter 7, and I'm absolutely LOSING IT!

According to the god-tier leaker HYPEX (who's basically never wrong), Epic Games is finally bringing Bleach characters into the Fortnite universe during Chapter 7 Season 1. Can you even comprehend what this means?! I've been manifesting this crossover since I first started playing, and now it's actually happening before March 2025 when the current season ends!

For those who somehow don't know (seriously, how?!), Bleach is that absolutely ICONIC anime that ran from 2004 to 2012 with 366 episodes of pure awesomeness. It follows Ichigo Kurosaki, this totally relatable teenager who suddenly gets Soul Reaper powers from Rukia Kuchiki and gets thrown into the wild world of the Soul Society. The story actually continued in 2022 with the Thousand-Year Blood War adaptation, and we're expecting the next installment to drop in 2026. But who cares about waiting that long when we can play as these characters in Fortnite NOW?!

What Characters Could We See?!

While HYPEX didn't spill the tea on exactly which characters are coming, my gaming senses are TINGLING with possibilities:

• Ichigo Kurosaki (duh, absolute must-have)

• Rukia Kuchiki (tiny but mighty!)

• Byakuya Kuchiki (imagine his cherry blossom ultimate!)

• Kisuke Urahara (hat and clogs combo is GOATed)

• Orihime Inoue (healing powers, please!)

• Renji Abarai (that Zabimaru pickaxe potential tho)

I'm already planning which skin I'll main the second they drop. Probably Ichigo, unless they give us Kenpachi with his eyepatch as a reactive cosmetic that changes when you get eliminations! 🤯

Fortnite's Anime Takeover Continues!

Let's be real - Fortnite has been CRUSHING IT with anime collabs lately. We've already seen:

1. Dragon Ball Super (Goku, Vegeta, Beerus)

2. My Hero Academia (Deku, All Might)

3. Jujutsu Kaisen (Yuji, Megumi, Nobara)

4. One Punch Man (Saitama!)

5. Cowboy Bebop (Spike Spiegel looking clean)

But Bleach? This is next level! I've literally been begging Epic in every survey, every feedback form, and probably in my sleep too.

Will We Get Bleach Weapons and Locations?!

If Epic knows what's good for them (and they usually do), they'll give us more than just skins. Imagine swinging Zangetsu as a pickaxe or using Ichigo's Bankai as a mythic weapon!

Remember when they added the Kamehameha and Nimbus Cloud from Dragon Ball? PURE CHAOS and I lived for every second of it. What if we get a Soul Society POI or Hueco Mundo desert area on the map?!

People Also Ask

When exactly will the Bleach Fortnite skins release?

While we don't have an exact date, HYPEX confirmed it's coming during Chapter 7 Season 1, which ends in early March 2025. So we're talking WEEKS, not months!

How much will the Bleach skins cost in Fortnite?

Based on previous anime collaborations, expect legendary skins to cost around 1,800-2,000 V-Bucks each, or possibly a bundle deal for 2,800-3,000 V-Bucks with multiple cosmetics.

Will there be Bleach-themed challenges and rewards?

Epic hasn't confirmed this yet, but most major collabs include special quests with free rewards. I'm personally hoping for a Hollow mask back bling!

What's Next for Anime in Fortnite?

As if Bleach wasn't enough to make me throw my wallet at the screen, rumors suggest a Dragon Ball Daima crossover is also in the works! The anime community has been BEGGING for One Piece characters too, along with Gundam Wing, Sailor Moon, and Inuyasha.

Hollywood, anime, gaming icons - Fortnite's Chapter 7 is shaping up to be the most ambitious crossover event in gaming history. The current Hollywood-inspired map already features Kill Bill and Back to the Future elements, and now we're adding Soul Reapers to the mix?!

I've been playing Fortnite since day one, and I have NEVER seen the community this hyped about an upcoming collab. The Discord servers I'm in are absolutely exploding with theories and wish lists.

Some skeptics might say, "It's just another cash grab." To which I say: SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY! These collabs are what keep Fortnite fresh after all these years, and as someone who's played through every meta shift and map change, I can confidently say this is what keeps me coming back.

Join the Hype Train Now!

If you haven't played Fortnite in a while, NOW is the time to reinstall! Don't be that person who misses out on wielding Ichigo's Zanpakuto or flash-stepping across the map as Yoruichi.

Drop into Chapter 7 today, start grinding those Battle Pass levels, and save those V-Bucks for when the Bleach skins drop! Trust me, as someone who's been in the Fortnite trenches for years, this is going to be LEGENDARY.

And if you see someone in an Ichigo skin absolutely destroying the lobby in a few weeks, that's probably me. Just saying. 😎
