The Soul Society: The Rescue arc is the third season of the Bleach anime series. In the English adaptation of the anime released by Viz Media, the title of the season is translated as the The Rescue.[1] The episodes are directed by Noriyuki Abe and produced by TV Tokyo, Dentsu, and Studio Pierrot.[2] The episodes are based on Tite Kubo's Bleach manga series, and adapt the 15th through 20th volumes of its source material over twenty-two episodes. The episodes' plot centers on Ichigo Kurosaki's and his friends' efforts to save Soul Reaper Rukia Kuchiki from execution by her superiors in Soul Society.

The season initially ran from July 26, 2005 to January 10, 2006 in Japan on TV Tokyo.[3] The English adaptation of the season began airing on July 21, 2007 on Cartoon Network's Adult Swim programming bloc. On October 14, 2007, the Bleach anime went on a hiatus; episodes resumed airing on March 2, 2008, and finished airing on May 11, 2008.[2][3][4]

Four pieces of theme music are used for the episodes: two opening themes and two ending themes. The opening theme for the first ten episodes is "D-tecnoLife" by UVERworld; the other episodes of the season use "One Lone Flower" (一輪の花, Ichirin no Hana) by High and Mighty Color. The two ending themes are "Happy People" by Skoop on Somebody, used from episode 42 to 52, and Yui's "Life", which was used for the remainder of the episodes.

Five DVD compilations, each containing four episodes of the season, were released by Aniplex between December 21, 2005 to April 26, 2006.[5][6] The English adaptation of the anime is distributed by Viz Media; two DVD compilations have been released on July 22, 2008 and September 23, 2008 respectively.[7][8] Another DVD compilation is set for release on November 18, 2008.[9]
