Image by James RichardsonJapanese fashion brand Graniph has officially unveiled a new clothing and accessories collection inspired by the popular anime BLEACH: Thousand-Year Blood War.
The new “BLEACH: Thousand-Year Blood War × Graniph” collection features 17 items themed around the Shikai releases of the Soul Reapers’ Zanpakuto, with designs inspired by characters including Ichigo Kurosaki, Byakuya Kuchiki, Sosuke Aizen and Toshiro Hitsugaya.


Created by Tite Kubo, BLEACH began serialization in Weekly Shonen Jump in 2001 and follows teenager Ichigo Kurosaki, who gains the powers of a Soul Reaper after an encounter with Rukia Kuchiki, drawing him into conflicts involving Soul Society, Hollows and increasingly powerful supernatural enemies.

The franchise is currently celebrating its 25th anniversary, with the final part of its Thousand-Year Blood War anime adaptation, titled The Calamity, having premiered in July 2026.

Graniph is a Japanese apparel brand known for its graphic clothing and collaborations with major anime and gaming franchises, having also released an extensive Kingdom Hearts collection earlier in 2026.

For this latest collaboration, Graniph has focused on the Shikai forms of the series’ Zanpakuto, incorporating the weapons’ release commands, abilities and memorable scenes into an extensive range of T-shirts, hoodies, jackets and everyday accessories.


The collection also includes special crossover designs featuring Graniph’s original mascot Beautiful Shadow, dressed as a Soul Reaper and carrying Ichigo’s sword, Zangetsu.
