Bandai’s crossover anime trading card game, Union Arena, officially released its latest expansion in Japan on Friday, September 11, 2026: BLEACH: Thousand-Year Blood War Vol. 3, alongside the specialized Advanced Deck: BLEACH Thousand-Year Blood War.
Drawing heavily from Cour 3 (The Conflict), this booster set debuts Ichigo Kurosaki’s newly awakened abilities, the long-awaited return of Grimmjow Jaegerjaquez, fan-favorite Sosuke Aizen, and key members of the Sternritter. Designed for both competitive players and collectors, the set provides powerful additions to pre-existing builds while offering full standalone deck-building potential.
The premier chase cards of the set are the ultra-rare Serialized Action Point (AP) cards, featuring gold foil autographs from legendary voice actors Masakazu Morita (Ichigo Kurosaki) and Junichi Suwabe (Grimmjow Jaegerjaquez). Sealed inside packs at extraordinarily low pull rates, these serial-numbered grails have captured immediate attention across the secondary card market.
Alongside the booster pack, the Advanced Deck offers a 50-card pre-constructed deck centered around Purple Ichigo and Rukia, packed with all-foil prints, two brand-new SR cards, and guaranteed parallel hits.
