Three new previews for the upcoming live action film Bleach have been released, with one thing in common: they showcase actor Fukushi Souta as Kurosaki Ichigo coming head-to-head with three new foes.
The first preview shows an immense gap of power between Kurosaki and Kuchiki Byakuya, played by famous musician MIYAVI. Not only is he the strongest Soul Reaper that Kurosaki has encountered, but he is also the stoic older brother of Kuchiki Rukia (Sugisaki Hana), the Soul Reaper who initially gives Kurosaki his powers.
The second preview has Abarai Renji charging head-first into battle to try and retrieve Rukia. Fans even get a sneak peak at his Zabimaru! The rough redhead Soul Reaper is played by actor Saotome Taichi.
The last foe that we get to see Ichigo go up against is a ghastly Hollow. This particular scene is from the beginning of the film, right before he has his fated meeting with Rukia.
Bleach is slated to premiere in Japan on Jul. 20.
