The Bleach manga ended in 2016, but remains one of the most beloved series of all time.
The anime is adapting its final arc after a hiatus of more than ten years. One of the reasons Bleach has become so popular is because of its character designs, which are often praised as attractive.
Bleach: Thousand-Year Blood War season 3 anime will be released in October 2024. While fans wait for new episodes of the final season, author Kubo revealed the four male characters he thinks are the most handsome.
In a new Q&A, the Bleach author was asked which characters he thought were the most handsome men.
Kubo replied Hitsugaya, Byakuya, Szayelaporro, and Haschwalth. He said that he intentionally drew them to look handsome.
Hitsugaya Toshiro is the captain of squad 10 – a division of Gotei 13.
Kuchiki Byakuya is the captain of the 6th squad in the Gotei 13.
Szayelaporro Granz is one of the craziest and most disturbing members of the Arrancar.
Jugram Haschwalth is Yhwach's right-hand man and the one in charge of the Stern Ritter.
So if you find yourself drawn to these male characters, that was Kubo's goal all along. While fans understand Kubo's intentions, most of them are surprised that Kubo didn't mention some of the most attractive characters in the series.
A fan shared: “Fun fact: Byakuya was voted #1 by the Shinigami Women's Association for 'the captain we want to have a photo book release'. Byakuya is Seireitei's IT guy.”
“Shunsui? Ichigo? Aizen? The guys Kubo listed look handsome, but what about these three names, especially Aizen?”, another person wrote.
