The Calamity is a 10-episode cour, the shortest of the four parts. It premiered on July 25, 2026, and its tenth and final episode airs on September 26, 2026. New episodes drop weekly with no announced breaks, so the run is easy to follow.

Is "The Calamity" the last season of Bleach?
Yes. The Calamity is the fourth and final cour of the Thousand-Year Blood War anime, adapting the closing chapters of Tite Kubo's manga and bringing the decades-spanning Bleach television story to a close.
The Thousand-Year Blood War is the final arc of Bleach, in which the Quincy emperor Yhwach wages war on the Soul Society. Part 4 covers the climax of that conflict — the last stand of the Soul Reapers against Yhwach's army, the Wandenreich. At 10 episodes it is the leanest of the four cours, a sign the adaptation is moving quickly to the finish.
Bleach TYBW Part 4: quick FAQ
How many episodes is The Calamity?
Ten. That makes Part 4 the shortest of the four Thousand-Year Blood War cours, which rolled out as seasonal blocks between October 2022 and 2026.
Do I need to watch the earlier parts first?
Yes. The Calamity picks up straight from Part 3's cliffhanger and assumes you already know the Wandenreich, the captains, and the state of the war. Newcomers should start from the first TYBW episode rather than jumping in here.
Is there more Bleach anime after this?
The Calamity adapts the manga's final arc, so it concludes the main Bleach story on screen. As of late August 2026, no further main-series Bleach anime has a confirmed release date.
What Bleach's ending means for collectors
A franchise finale reliably pushes fans back toward the merch, and Bleach figures and Ichiban Kuji prizes tend to move as the anime peaks. If you are catching up on the collecting side, we have covered the recent Bleach releases:

Akibato does not stock Bleach figures at the moment. Fans of Kubo's Shonen Jump classic often also collect its "Big Three" sibling One Piece, along with modern Jump juggernaut Jujutsu Kaisen — both of which we keep in stock:
