Bleach is back in a big way with Ichiban Kuji Bleach Stirring Souls vol.5
If you collect Bleach, lock this name in for SEO and for planning your in-store hunt: Ichiban Kuji Bleach Stirring Souls vol.5. For now, the official announcement is going full teaser mode (no prize list yet), but the “Stirring Souls” theme is pure Bleach DNA: the Shinigami, the fights where everything turns, and that “the soul ignites” vibe you get as early as the Soul Society arc—and that blows up even more later with world-scale threats.
Official visual: what we can see (and what it hints at)
At this stage, the official info only shows a product banner. No confirmed characters, no poses, no “Last One”, nothing detailed. So I’m not going to sell you hot air: we’re sticking to the facts, and we’ll wait for the upcoming “topics”.
- Product: Ichiban Kuji Bleach Stirring Souls vol.5 (in-store sales)
- Status: announcement + teasing, “more info soon” (no detailed prizes for now)

It’s the only usable “prize/product” element for now: the official banner. Until the prize list is published, it’s impossible to accurately tie figures to a specific arc (Soul Society, Arrancar, Fullbring, Thousand-Year Blood War, movies, etc.) without making things up—and that’s not happening. As soon as the official sources drop the characters, we’ll be able to place each piece in its exact moment in the manga/anime.
Conclusion from fan to fan: Ichiban Kuji Bleach Stirring Souls vol.5 is announced, but it’s still a “teaser” page. The good news is the date and price are already locked in, so you can plan ahead.
Release date (in-store sales): September 19, 2026 (Saturday).
Price: 850 yen per draw (tax included).
Announced retailers: Seven-Eleven, Ito-Yokado, Yumetown, and others (depending on availability, while supplies last).
Next step: as soon as the official prizes drop (figures and other rewards), I’ll put together a proper breakdown, prize by prize, with the character and, most importantly, the exact Bleach arc it references.
