Bleach fans are angry with the recent Bleach TYBW Episode, and things took a serious turn when one of the Bleach animators took to his Twitter Account to express his concern about the recent bullying his team is suffering from the fans. This event may lead to heavy suffering in the upcoming episodes of Bleach TYBW Episodes.

In Bleach Chapter 589, there is a panel featuring Orihime in a revealing outfit, and she asks Ichigo about it. Ichigo responds by saying,
“I do think it might be a bit too revealing,”
in a comic relief moment. This comment embarrasses Orihime, and she clarifies that she isn’t trying to be provocative. Yoruichi intervenes, playfully slipping her hand into Orihime’s cleavage and saying,
“A bit too much? Can’t you see she was tricked by Urahara into wearing it? Just compliment her and say she looks nice; you don’t have to be so uptight!”
The latest Bleach TYBW Episode did not include this panel, much to the dismay of the fanbase.
“Can’t believe Bleach is woke now. The West has polluted our beloved Japanese media. I can’t believe Kubo and Studio Pierrot caved to the woke Twitter mob…9 years ago when chapter 589 came out. But also today. Because it coming out today means it’s woke. Make anime great again!”

The anime features the scene where Urahara discusses a crucial task and explains how they are collecting energy.
Fans have been upset over the decision to leave this panel off since Bleach TYBW Episode 22. One of the primary animators of the Bleach Anime series, Satoshi Sakai, took to his Twitter account last Saturday to express his concerns about the threats his team has been receiving. A few of them began tweeting about their disappointment with the most recent episode, while others went on to directly disparage the animators.
まあ不満は言っても良いけど、危害加える予告とか脅迫とかはやめとけとは思う
それで嫌気がさした主力スタッフが離れて作品のクオリティ低下を招く事だってあるのだ

The translated post reads:
“Well, it’s okay to complain, but I think you should stop giving warnings and threats of harm. As a result, key staff members may become fed up with the project and leave, leading to a decline in the quality of the work.”
Choosing which sequences to include or eliminate from a series is not up to the animators. Their responsibility is to animate in the highest quality to bring the manga chapters to life on our screens. However, Satoshi Sakai worries that if the hate game continues at the current rate, the animators “may become fed up and leave the project,” which might lead to an immediate reduction in quality. However, many people have spoken out in favor of the animators, and #thankyouBLEACH_staff is currently trending on Twitter.
Some fans have also pointed out that the authors chose not to include the panel because they did not want to change the serious tone that the plot is currently in.
“They should’ve expected this, since they cut out the manga panel of Rukia being in the healing pool with her ass up, they’re just not going to do gratuitous fanservice in TYBW adaptation, because they want to keep the mostly serious tone, besides a few lighthearted comedic moments. People should already know this by now, it’s crazy they’re actually going after animators on Twitter about it, very unhinged behavior.”

Final Thoughts:
The fact that anime fans can be very nasty when things don’t go their way is nothing new. Spreading animosity inside their fanbase, particularly toward other fandoms, is their everyday leisure activity. But the point should be reached whenever the hatred grows reinforced with insults to the creators personally.
