Masakazu Morita was spotted posing with the Proplica of Ichigo Kurosaki’s sword Tensa Zangetsu from Bleach. The Japanese voice actor who performed as the series’ protagonist found the replica product while it was displayed at Jump Festa 2025.
The original voice actor posing with the character’s replica sword toy also brings a profound meaning. When Bandai Spirits unveiled the Tensa Zangetsu Proplica in late August 2024, it revealed that the toy will also have over 140 audio files, which include voiced lines from Ichigo Kurosaki. That means Masakazu Morita’s voices are also included inside the product, which can be powered with three AAA batteries.

Pre-orders for the Proplica have been opened since September 3, 2024. The life-sized sword replica will have an overall length of around 121 cm or almost 4 feet. The product will be available with a Japanese tax-inclusive MSRP of 19,800 yen (~$126).
Bandai Spirits will release the Proplica of the Tensa Zangetsu sword from Bleach worldwide, starting in Japan in January 2025. The company will release this product to help celebrate both the 10th anniversary of the Proplica line and the 20th anniversary of the Bleach anime. The final arc of The Thousand-Year Blood War Arc – Conflict Story started airing in October 2024.
