The Japanese X (formerly Twitter) accounts for the Star Wars and Bleach franchises revealed a set of collaboration visuals on Tuesday. The theme for the visual is “Fighting for a cause” and “Rise up with hope!” They feature Star Wars: Andor character Cassian Andor and Bleach: Thousand-Year Blood War character Uryu Ishida. The visuals are very similar, with slight variations to the bottom half.
