Description
Expand your BLEACH decks with the Bandai UNION ARENA BLEACH Thousand-Year Blood War Vol.3 EX15BT Booster Box. Built around the third cour of the anime, The Conflict, this Japanese release brings Ichigo Kurosaki’s evolving abilities together with characters including Grimmjow Jaegerjaquez, Sosuke Aizen, Uryu Ishida, and members of the Stern Ritter.
The Vol.3 card pool is designed both to strengthen previously released BLEACH strategies and to support deck building using cards from this release itself. The set contains 81 standard SR, R, U, and C card types plus six Action Point cards, with additional parallel versions available throughout the product.
Collector highlights include foil-stamped signature cards featuring members of the anime voice cast and ultra-limited serial-numbered Action Point cards inserted at an extremely low rate. Each sealed box contains 16 booster packs with eight randomized cards per pack for a total of 128 cards.

What Makes BLEACH Thousand-Year Blood War Vol.3 Different?
This release marks the first time a UNION ARENA title reached a third booster volume, expanding the existing BLEACH card pool while introducing enough new cards to support strategies built around Vol.3 itself.
Its theme focuses heavily on the third cour of BLEACH: Thousand-Year Blood War – The Conflict. The lineup brings in Ichigo’s newer abilities alongside characters who take on greater prominence during this stage of the story, including Grimmjow, Aizen, Uryu, the Stern Ritter, and members of the Soul Society.
For existing players, EX15BT offers new options for previously released BLEACH decks. For collectors, the combination of character-focused parallels, foil-stamped signatures, and limited AP variants gives Vol.3 a stronger premium-card component than the standard base lineup alone.
The Conflict Storyline & Character Lineup
EX15BT draws extensively from the third cour of Thousand-Year Blood War, bringing together major characters from opposing sides of the conflict. Ichigo Kurosaki appears with abilities reflecting this later stage of the story, while the set also expands representation for Uryu Ishida, Sosuke Aizen, Grimmjow Jaegerjaquez, Yoruichi Shihoin, Shunsui Kyoraku, and the Stern Ritter.
The wider character pool allows Vol.3 to extend established BLEACH deck themes while introducing new combinations and strategies tied to characters and factions highlighted during The Conflict.
Voice Cast Signature & Serial AP Highlights
Selected premium cards feature foil-stamped signatures from seven members of the BLEACH Thousand-Year Blood War anime cast:
• Ichigo Kurosaki: Masakazu Morita
• Uryu Ishida: Noriaki Sugiyama
• Orihime Inoue: Yuki Matsuoka
• Yoruichi Shihoin: Satsuki Yukino
• Shunsui Kyoraku: Akio Otsuka
• Sosuke Aizen: Show Hayami
• Grimmjow Jaegerjaquez: Junichi Suwabe
EX15BT also includes an ultra-limited serial-numbered Action Point card campaign. These serial AP cards are inserted at an extremely low rate and in limited quantities, so they are not guaranteed in any booster pack or sealed box. Bandai also notes that inclusion of these cards in future reprints has not been determined.
