As if we couldn't get more hyper about the long-awaited return of Bleach, it's just been announced that the series is forming an official collaboration with Coca-Cola to release a "Soul Blast Action Flavored" Zero Sugar variety of the caffeinated drink with Ichigo on the limited-edition can, which will go on sale on the same day as the new anime's premiere on October 10.

A teaser video for the latest "Coca-Cola Creation" was released by the official Japanese Twitter account late last month:
