Bleach fans finally have something to be happy about as the end of an era is soon approaching. Following four years of intense fights and dramatic twists, it seems that the Thousand Year Blood War arc will finally come to an end. Bleach: Thousand Year Blood War The Calamity is the fourth and last anime of the celebrated Bleach series and will be released internationally in July 2026. The story takes off from the point where the third part ended, and Ichigo Kurosaki and his fellow members are ready for their biggest challenge yet. Studio Pierrot will once again produce the animation for this concluding episode.
The viewers will be able to enjoy the anime starting June 2026 exclusively on Crunchyroll. However, the exact dates are still under the wrap. You’d need an active subscription to the platform to watch the anime.

The season is expected to cover the closing chapters of Tite Kubo’s manga, bringing answers to long-running mysteries around the Soul King while building toward the last battle between the Soul Reapers and the Quincies.
