The final stretch of the Bleach: Thousand-Year Blood War anime has a date. The Calamity — the fourth and last cour of the adaptation — premieres July 25, 2026 on TV Tokyo at 11:00 p.m. JST, with international streaming a day later. This is the part that takes the anime through the rest of Tite Kubo's manga, all the way to its ending.
Quick answer
Bleach: Thousand-Year Blood War - The Calamity is the fourth and final cour of the TYBW anime, premiering July 25, 2026 on TV Tokyo (11:00 p.m. JST). Internationally it streams on Hulu in the U.S., Disney+ elsewhere, and Ani-One Asia across Asia from July 26. The opening is jo0ji's "I-BULL" and the ending is 9Lana's "Rasen." It adapts the remainder of the manga's final arc (volumes 55–74). According to SenpaiRanks, the TYBW series already sits in the top tier of its anime ranking with an early Consensus read near 8.9 — among the highest-rated shonen on the board.
What The Calamity actually covers
The Thousand-Year Blood War is the last arc of the Bleach manga, spanning volumes 55 through 74. The anime split it into four cours, and The Calamity is the closer — it covers what's left of the Soul Society's war with Yhwach's Wandenreich and carries the story to Kubo's original ending. If you've followed the previous three cours, this is the payoff.
Viz Media and Fathom Entertainment screened the first three episodes of this cour in U.S. theaters June 25–29, ahead of the broadcast premiere — a sign of how much weight the franchise is putting behind the finale.
Where to watch it
No region-locking guesswork here. From July 26, the cour streams on:
- Hulu — United States
- Disney+ — international markets
- Ani-One Asia — Asian countries
That cross-platform spread is exactly the kind of "where to watch" question Crunchyroll's own catalog won't answer cleanly — Bleach TYBW lives on Hulu and Disney+, not CR, and we'll say so plainly.
The theme songs
jo0ji handles the opening with "I-BULL," and 9Lana performs the ending, "Rasen." Both drop with the premiere.
How it ranks
Per SenpaiRanks, Bleach: Sennen Kessen-hen (the TYBW series) holds an early Consensus score around 8.9, placing it firmly in the upper tier of the modern shonen board. That's a dual-axis read — Consensus (how broadly liked it is) and Quality (how well it holds up) sit side by side, instead of the single blended number MAL or IMDb give you. The vote pool is still early on the finale, so if you've watched it, rate it on its ranking page and push the board toward where the fandom actually lands.
