That last episode also brings in the Bleach manga epilogue, including the 10-year time skip<\/strong>. So this really does close out a long run: the anime first started back in 2004, after Tite Kubo launched Bleach in 2001 and kept the manga going through 2016. Ichigo Kurosaki\u2019s Soul Reaper story carried the series past 130 million copies by 2022.<\/p>\n\n

And with it comes the end of Bleach as a whole, or at least the end of the main story for a franchise that\u2019s often been treated as the least popular of the Big Three next to Naruto and One Piece<\/a>. Part of that reputation came from how messy the anime could get after Soul Society. Part came from filler, especially the Bount arc. The animation could be uneven<\/strong> too, even with Tite Kubo\u2019s philosophical streak giving the series its own identity.<\/p>\n\n

If you\u2019ve stuck with Bleach, this is a finale worth showing up for. Thousand-Year Blood War came back in four parts, The Blood Warfare (2022<\/strong>), The Separation (2023), The Conflict (2024), and The Calamity (2026), and that return brought a real visual upgrade from Studio Pierrot, added new scenes from Tite Kubo, and gave the ending more room after plenty of manga readers felt the original version had been rushed.<\/p>\n\n

You can watch the Bleach: Thousand-Year Blood War finale in the US on October 26<\/strong>. And with interest still running high, plus Bleach: Rebirth of Souls<\/a> already announced, Bleach probably isn\u2019t going anywhere as a cultural force.<\/p>\n
