The New Captain Syūsuke Amagai arc is the ninth season of the Bleach anime series. The episodes are directed by Noriyuki Abe and produced by TV Tokyo, Dentsu, and Studio Pierrot.^[1] Similar to season four and five of the series, this season is not an adaptation of the Bleach manga by Tite Kubo. Instead, the episodes' plot focuses on the introduction of a new Soul Reaper captain, Syūsuke Amagai, and the mystery surrounding the Kasumiōji clan, one of the families that constitute the nobility of Soul Society.

The season began airing on April 23, 2008 in Japan on TV Tokyo and ended on October 7, 2008.^[2] The English adaptation of the Bleach anime, which is licensed by Viz Media,^[1] has yet to announce when the series will air. A DVD compilation, containing four episodes of the season, was released by Aniplex on November 26, 2008.^[3] The second DVD is slated for release on December 17, 2008, and the third on January 28, 2009.^[4][5]
