On August 9, 2021, a brand-new Bleach one-shot manga was released to commemorate the series' 20th anniversary. Titled Bleach: No Breathes From Hell, or Bleach: Howl From The Jaws of Hell, this special one-shot illustrated the lives of Ichigo Kurosaki and other Soul Reapers 12 years after the Great War, creating an anticipation for a new arc.

According to Shueisha, the synopsis of Bleach: Special one-shot reads as follows:

"The long battle between the Shinigami and the Quincy has ended, and everyday life has returned to peace. One day, Ichigo receives a report from Abarai. It was news of participation in the ritual 'Soul Funeral Festival' held after the funeral of the captain who died in the war. Ichigo joins the vice-captains who have come to this world to preapre for the ceremony, but unrest is approaching without a sound..."

As of now, mangaka Tite Kubo hasn't provided any details on whether or not he would continue with this new arc. However, considering the grand success of Bleach TYBW, there's a possibility that he might continue with it.
