Tite Kubo’s dedication towardsBleachis evident from the story itself. However, the author has gone the extra mile for his series, which very few mangakas do.Bleach: Thousand Year Blood Waris a massive success partly due to the involvement of Tite Kubo.
Kubo works as the general director and supervisor of Bleach: TYBW anime. He also supervises most of the major aspects, be it the script, storyboarding, or voice acting. Even great mangakas like Eiichiro Oda fail to achieve this level of involvement with the anime adaptations of their works.
BleachVoice Actor Reveals Tite Kubo’s Dedication to theTYBWAnime
In aninterview during the New York Comic Con 2024,Masakazu Morita, the voice actor of Ichigo KurosakiinBleach, was asked what it was like working withTite Kubo.As it turns out, Morita had nothing but praise for the mangaka. Firstly, he expressed his gratefulness towardsKubo for being so involved in the entire processof the anime.

According to the voice actor, Tite Kubo is actually at work from morning till night every day. The author has also provided some original scenes for the anime. Since it is unknown territory for others, the staff and cast begin their work once Kubo is done, and the author is always available for all discussions.
Tite Kubo is presentnot only for the animation staff members but also for the whole cast of voice actors. Whenever any question pops up in the minds of the people involved, Kubo is always there to help, and he is always approachable with new ideas. Morita once took a look at the paper in which Kubo wrote his notes and suggestions, to which he had this reaction:
So through that one piece of paper, I kind of got a little peek into how his mind works, and all I can say is that it’s just a massive world within his brain.
There is no doubt that Tite Kubo is constantly thinking of ways to makeBleach: TYBWbetter. He entertains the ideas presented to him and jots them down to include them in his grand plan. His utmost dedication to creating the best version ofBleach: TYBWis pleasantly surprising as well as inspiring.
Eiichiro Oda’s Role in theOne Piece Anime is Limited
Eiichiro Oda is a busy man, as he has to submit chapters of One Piece regularly since the manga’s serialization hasn’t ended yet. As opposed to Tite Kubo, whose manga has already ended, thus giving him plenty of time to focus on theBleach: TYBWanime. While Kubo is extremely involved with the anime,Eiichiro Odaisnot as much.

Eiichiro Oda has minimum involvement with theOne Pieceanime and basically gives a nod of approval to the anime team when they want to change anything. Inan interview,Oda answered the question himself by stating that he ispresent to some extent but trusts the directoras he has already established what he requires from the series.
In the animation, I don’t really mind how any part is handled. So long as the people really think about the characters and love One Piece, then I think they can do anything.
There are several scenes in the anime that do not directly correlate with the manga. For example, the manga begins with Shanks saving Luffy. However, in the anime, this scene was shown as a flashback. This was done keeping in mind some essential rules of anime and the effect it will have on TV ratings. Eiichiro Oda himself is quite satisfied with such changes and even loves them.
BleachandOne Piecemanga are available to read on Viz Media, and the anime is currently streaming on Crunchyroll. TheBleach: TYBWanime is available to stream on Disney+.
