The anime is set to begin airing on July 25, with Disney+ and Hulu handling overseas streaming.
Bleach: Thousand-Year Blood War Final Part – The Calamity is the final part of the Bleach: Thousand-Year Blood War series, which adapts the last story arc of Tite Kubo‘s Bleach manga across several split cours. The premise sees Soul Society dealing with an invasion by the reawakened Quincy king Yhwach and his army.
The anime’s first cour debuted in 2022 and was followed by 2023’s Bleach: Thousand-Year Blood War – The Separation and 2024’s BLEACH: Thousand-Year Blood War – The Conflict.
The Bleach manga was serialized from 2001 to 2016 in Shueisha’s Weekly Shonen Jump and was collected into 74 tankobon volumes. A special one-shot was released in 2021. The original Bleach TV anime aired from 2004 to 2012.
