The Bleach Hell Arc has been a hot topic in the animanga community lately. Fans are excited to see what Tite Kubo, the author, has planned for the series after the success of the Thousand Year Blood War arc's adaptation.
Although Kubo hinted at the Bleach Hell Arc with a special one-shot called Bleach: No Breath from the Jaws of Hell (released in 2020 for the series' 20th anniversary), he has not developed it into a full arc yet.

Tite Kubo finally addressed a fan's burning question on his official blog, Klub Outside, where he loves to connect with Bleach fans and share exclusive content.
In the 590th question on Klub Outside, someone asked about how Genryusai Yamamoto and Yachiru Unohana (Retsu Unohana) met. Tite Kubo replied saying he might "draw it someday" and mentioned it was a secret.

Fans are eagerly waiting for Genryusai's first interaction with Unohana in the Bleach Hell Arc. The author's mysterious response to this question has led fans to believe that this moment may be saved for a future storyline. It is speculated that this interaction could be explored once the anime adaptation of the Thousand Year Blood War arc concludes.
Tite Kubo's recent comment has sparked hope among fans about the possible return of the Bleach Hell arc. Exploring Yamamoto and Unohana's past in this arc would be fitting, especially when considering the context behind it.

Yachiru Unohana, featured in Bleach: Brave Souls, is a character known for her presence in the one-shot chapter, Bleach: No Breath from the Jaws of Hell. In this chapter, it is revealed that individuals with greater spiritual pressure or density, like Captains and Espadas, are sent to Hell after they pass away.
The Bleach Hell arc's one-shot featured Szayelaporro Granz, a former Espada, returning from Hell to the Soul Society during Jushiro Ukitake's Konsho Reisai ceremony, which took place 12 years after his passing.

Additionally, the chapter revealed Jushiro Ukitake's massive Zanpakuto emerging from hell's gate to defeat Szayelaporro and retrieve him. It is believed that the souls of Genryusai Yamamoto and Yachiru Unohana, who died in the Thousand Year Blood War arc, were also sent to Hell.
If the Bleach Hell Arc does resume, Tite Kubo will be able to bring back the deceased Captains and Soul Reaper Captains, such as Yamamoto and Genryusai.

There is a speculation that Jushiro Ukitake, as seen in the anime, may become a new threat to the Soul Society and Ichigo Kurosaki. Additionally, the complexity behind Yamamoto and Unohana's past is intriguing, considering they were members of the original Gotei 13.
Genryusai Yamamoto founded the Gotei 13, and Yachiru Unohana was known as the "first Kenpachi." In the Thousand Year Blood War arc, Yhwach referred to the original Gotei 13 as a "band of killers."

If Kubo decides to continue the Bleach Hell Arc, fans may see the founding members of the Gotei 13 reuniting in Hell, giving the author a chance to showcase their past.
It's important to note that this is just speculation for now without concrete proof. However, Tite Kubo's comments suggest that there is more to come for Bleach after the Thousand Year Blood War arc's anime adaptation concludes, with the Hell arc's continuation being the most likely scenario.
