BLEACH takes over Ikebukuro's Sunshine City this summer

Sunshine City in Tokyo will be celebrating 24 years of BLEACH with a new event this summer.

“BLEACH THE LOCUS OF BRAVE II” is an event dedicated to the popular manga/anime series “BLEACH” and is the second event to be held under the “LOCUS OF BRAVE” banner.

This will be the second event in the “LOCUS OF BRAVE” series

The event will feature exhibitions designed to visually and thematically express the world of “BLEACH”.

These exhibits will be located at the Sunshine 60 Observatory Tenbo Park and will incorporate elements from the manga and anime, such as character displays, recreations of iconic scenes, and explorations of the Soul Society, Hueco Mundo, and the human world, as depicted in the series.

Organizers have revealed that there will be displays including top-secret production materials for the TV anime “BLEACH: Thousand-Year Blood War”, as well as a behind the scenes display showing the making of the 20th anime PV.

There will also be a BLEACH “world experience project” and photo spots where visitors can recreate scenes from the series.

BLEACH themed drinks and food will also be available from the Tenbo Park Cafe.

A highlight of the event will be the sale of a variety of new merchandise featuring diverse illustrations from the series, including newly created artwork by Tite Kubo himself.

The inclusion of Kubo’s latest drawings is expected to be a significant draw for fans of the series.

The event will run from Friday, June 13th, to Sunday, July 13th, 2025, and will be primarily located at the Sunshine 60 Observatory Tenbo Park area but other locations within Sunshine City will also host parts of the event.
