2026 promises to be a great year for fans of Bleach as the anime is finally completing the adaptation of the original manga. The anime initially stopped airing in 2012, but returned after ten years to cover the story’s final chapters. This return featured significantly improved animation, a better pace, and added scenes, enhancing the final arc. While the manga ended in 2016 and hasn’t had a sequel, the anime was expected to conclude with the Thousand-Year Blood War Arc Part 4. However, a recent announcement suggests this might not be the case. Bleach has launched an official YouTube channel to promote the final part, despite its typically short run.
I noticed the official anime account shared that we can expect more content soon. It’s unclear if that means they’ll keep posting clips to YouTube, or if it’s about future anime seasons or projects. What really got fans excited, though, is that several popular accounts like @feverofbleach are reporting the Bleach website is licensed all the way to 2031. That seems like a pretty strong signal that the studio has big plans for the series!
Pierrot Has Many Options to Continue Bleach’s Legacy Even After Thousand-Year Blood War Part 4
Although the core storyline will conclude in the next installment, the studio has several options for future projects. They could adapt the one-shot story released by the manga’s creator, Tite Kubo, after the main story finished. Fans are also eager for a remake of the original anime, or the studio could create new, original movies. Beyond that, there are three official novels that expand on the manga’s universe, and many fans would love to see them adapted into animated form. Kubo’s close collaboration with the animation studio on the TYBW arc suggests he might be open to further partnerships if they decide to pursue more anime projects.
Right now, everything is just based on predictions, as we won’t know for sure until an official announcement is made. However, excitement for TYBW Part 4 is incredibly high, especially with 2026 getting closer. The new season of the anime will feature more original content than previous parts, and will even revise the ending that many fans found unsatisfying. This is a good thing for the studio, as they don’t have as much source material from the manga to work with for a 13-episode season.
I’m so hyped for Part 4! From what we know, it sounds like we’ll get around the same number of episodes as the previous seasons. Considering Part 3 wrapped up around chapter 656 of the manga, that means this final part has about 30 chapters left to adapt into 13 episodes. And get this – it’s going to really dive into the history of the Soul King and Soul Society, finally revealing all those secrets! Of course, we’ll also see the epic conclusion to the fight between Ichigo and Yhwach, bringing the centuries-long war between the Soul Reapers and Quincies to a close. It’s going to be amazing!
