Quincy vs Reaper

And if you’re like me and are a bit of a lapsed Bleach reader, or just not familiar with the series, you may be wondering what exactly a Thousand-year Blood War is when it’s at home. Essentially, in the series Bleach: Brave Souls is based on there are two groups that battle the lost spirits known as Hollows. One are the Shinigami, who are devoted to reclaiming these lost souls and ushering them to the afterlife, and the other are the Quincys.

Slightly un-intimidating name aside, Quincys destroy Hollows instead of reclaiming their souls, threatening to put the entire world in jeopardy, since unbalancing the number of souls will…well, not go well for anyone involved. Naturally, this led to a previous war where the Shinigami nearly wiped them out.

But in Thousand-Year Blood War the Quincys are back with a vengeance, so check out Bleach: Brave Souls to recruit your favourite characters from either faction and battle it out with the Hollows!
