Trivia

 * The Captains feature for Komamura was especially drawn for this artbook as at that stage he had not yet appeared on a cover
 * The colour spread showing the Captains of the Gotei 13 was a recreation of a 2003 poster, which is why Ukitake's face is not shown as he had not yet debuted and Aizen's eyes are closed as he is about to die.
 * The colour spread showing the Vice-captains of the Gotei 13 was drawn specially for the artbook.
 * According to Tite Kubo, the colour spread showing the women of Bleach in swimsuits is the first time he did a Bleach/swimsuit picture - it contains all the notable female characters who had debuted thus far in Bleach, as well as Hiyori Sarugaki.
 * The Summer 2004 Akamaru poster commemorates Bleach becoming an anime.
