Bleach: Thousans-Year Blood War Is Divided Into Four Parts

Bleach: Thousand-Year Blood War arc has been divided into four parts. The first part, The Blood Warfare, was released in October 2022, and it ran for 13 episodes. The Separation was the second cour, and it was released in July 2023. Like the first cour, it also had 13 episodes. The third cour subtitled The Conflict, premiered in October 2024. The last two episodes of the cour were combined into a one-hour-long special. The fourth cour is titled The Calamity, and it will bring an end to Ichigo Kurosaki's long adventure.

The fourth cour of the Bleach: Thousand-Year Blood War arc will arguably be its best one yet. As previously stated, it will include the climax to Ichigo's story, which means there will be major battles. It is also worth mentioning that the fourth cour will feature plenty of original content. This announcement comes after Tite Kubo, the creator of Bleach, spoke on a show about Bleach.

Tite Kubo mentioned that the fourth cour will have original content, which will be added under his supervision. He also disclosed that he did not get the opportunity to end Bleach how he wanted. Fans do not need to fret, as Kubo will never let the anime add something that would ruin his beloved child.
