Fortnite Teases Bleach Wave 2 Skins: Yoruichi and Kisuke Revealed

Fortnite’s Bleach collaboration isn’t over just yet. On August 4, 2026, a teaser video leaked online, revealing two fan-favorite Soul Society characters headed to Chapter 7 Season 3: Runners: Yoruichi Shihouin and Kisuke Urahara. It’s the clearest sign yet that Epic Games is treating Bleach the same way it has handled its other anime collaborations, turning it into a recurring crossover rather than a one-time event.

The timing is notable. Bleach’s first wave arrived during Winterfest on December 20, 2025, introducing Ichigo Kurosaki, Rukia Kuchiki, Orihime Inoue, and Uryu Ishida to the Item Shop. Those skins remained in rotation for weeks, and this second wave suggests Epic sees long-term value in the franchise instead of treating it as a seasonal collaboration. That’s a different approach from crossover events that appear once and quietly disappear.

Here’s everything currently confirmed about the Yoruichi and Kisuke skins, what’s still based on leaks, and how Wave 2 compares to the original release.

Yoruichi and Kisuke Skins: Everything Confirmed So Far

The teaser originated from a clip shared by leaker SpushFNBR, with prominent dataminers HYPEX and ShiinaBR confirming additional in-game details shortly afterward.

According to the leaks, both characters are based on their later Bleach appearances, with Yoruichi wearing her Thousand-Year Blood War design and Kisuke retaining his signature shopkeeper look. Both skins are also expected to include multiple cosmetic styles instead of a single default appearance.

It’s worth noting that Epic Games hasn’t officially announced the collaboration yet. Everything below comes from the leaked teaser and supporting information from multiple trusted Fortnite leakers. Until Epic publishes its official blog post, some details could still change.

Yoruichi and Kisuke Cosmetics, Styles, and Accessories

1. Yoruichi Shihouin

Styles

• Regular
• Ninja
• Shunko: Raijin Senkei (lightning-powered variant)

Cosmetics

• Back Bling: Cape
• Pickaxe: Arm-based melee weapon inspired by her Shunko ability
• Emote: Charges six elemental lightning orbs, referencing her signature technique
• Wrap: Included with the bundle (design not yet revealed)

Yoruichi’s Shunko style is already generating the most excitement among fans. Many players have specifically asked Epic to stay faithful to her anime design instead of making major visual changes, something the community often requests whenever popular anime characters arrive in Fortnite.

2. Kisuke Urahara

Styles

• Three LEGO Fortnite-compatible variants (based on current leaks)

Cosmetics

• Back Bling: Soul Candy-themed accessory
• Pickaxe: Benihime-inspired sword
• Wrap: Matching Kisuke’s signature color scheme

Kisuke’s inclusion in LEGO Fortnite is particularly interesting. Like several recent crossover characters, his cosmetic set appears to be fully compatible across multiple Fortnite experiences rather than remaining exclusive to Battle Royale.

It’s a similar strategy to Epic’s recent Spider-Man: Brand New Day collaboration, where several cosmetic styles were designed to work across different game modes instead of being limited to one.

Fortnite x Bleach Wave 2 Release Date and Expected Price

Pricing is one area where players should be cautious.

Several reliable leakers estimate the complete bundle will cost somewhere between 2,800 and 3,200 V-Bucks, while individual skins are expected to sell for around 1,800 V-Bucks each. Those estimates are based on previous anime collaborations rather than confirmed information.

Epic has adjusted bundle pricing before launch on several occasions, so it’s best to wait until the Item Shop refreshes before treating any leaked prices as final.

How Bleach Wave 2 Compares to Wave 1

The original Bleach collaboration took a broader approach.

Wave 1 included:

• Four skins
• Four Back Blings
• Three Pickaxes
• Two Emotes

Those cosmetics were spread across Ichigo Kurosaki, Rukia Kuchiki, Orihime Inoue, and Uryu Ishida.

Wave 2 goes in a different direction.

Instead of introducing more characters, Epic appears to be focusing on fewer heroes with much deeper cosmetic customization. Both Yoruichi and Kisuke reportedly receive multiple styles, making the bundles feel more substantial even with only two characters.

Wave 1 included accessories like Orihime’s Bag, Rukia’s Ribbons, Zangetsu, Sodenoshirayuki, Orihime’s Pin Wand, and emotes such as Hakka No Togame and Fully-Hollowfied, the latter also doubling as a weapon wrap.

Wave 2 seems designed around characters the community has consistently requested, following the same pattern Epic has used for sequel waves in other anime collaborations. It’s one reason Bleach continues to rank among the most anticipated anime crossovers in Fortnite heading into the second half of 2026.

Community reaction has also been overwhelmingly positive. Many players have already said Yoruichi will be an instant purchase when she reaches the Item Shop, which usually signals Epic made the right choice when deciding which characters to prioritize.

If you’re planning to pick up the skins, it’s still worth waiting to see whether Epic includes either character in future promotional events or challenge rewards. The company has occasionally offered crossover cosmetics through limited-time events after their initial release.

Final Thoughts

Bleach Wave 2 arrives with less than two weeks remaining in Chapter 7 Season 3, and the leaks have already shifted attention toward a possible third wave.

Among the most requested characters are:

• Kenpachi Zaraki
• Retsu Unohana
• Toshiro Hitsugaya

Considering how quickly Epic followed the original collaboration with Wave 2, another Bleach release later this year doesn’t seem unrealistic.

For now, August 7, 2026, is the date Bleach fans should have circled on their calendar.
