Bleach The Calamity Episodes — Full Release Schedule & Times
Bleach The Calamity episodes start dropping today, and the wait — all nineteen agonizing months of it — is finally over. The fourth and final cour of Thousand-Year Blood War premieres July 25, and this is the one that ends everything: Ichigo versus Yhwach, the fate of all three worlds, the conclusion Tite Kubo's been building since 2022. If you're here to figure out exactly when each episode drops, what time to set your alarm, and how to catch up before you're spoiled — you're in the right place.
⚔️ When Do Bleach The Calamity Episodes Premiere?
Let's get the essential detail locked down first. Bleach: Thousand-Year Blood War – The Calamity premieres July 25 at 7:30 a.m. PDT, streaming exclusively on Hulu in the U.S. and Disney+ in select international markets. (VIZ Media)
Here's how the release rhythm works so you never miss a drop. The Calamity runs for approximately 13 episodes, with a new episode dropping each week following Saturday's premiere. A same-day simulcast means Japanese viewers on TV Tokyo and American viewers on Hulu get each episode within hours of each other, while parts of Asia stream through Ani-One instead. (Tech Times)
For the Japan broadcast specifically: the season airs on TV Tokyo and affiliates at 11:00 PM JST, with the US getting new episodes starting at 7:30 AM PT on a weekly schedule every Saturday. (VvipTimes)

(Note: episode counts and dates for the back half can shift slightly — we'll keep an eye out, but the weekly Saturday pattern is the thing to plan around.)
📺 Where to Watch Bleach The Calamity Episodes
No fluff — here's exactly where the Bleach The Calamity episodes live, by region:
|
Region |

|
United States |
Hulu (exclusive) |

International (select) |

Parts of Asia |
Ani-One |

TV Tokyo (broadcast) |
Streaming details were confirmed by VIZ Media: the season streams exclusively on Hulu in the U.S. (including Hulu on Disney+) and on Disney+ in select international territories. (VvipTimes) And the usual reminder for anyone tempted by sketchy free-stream sites: don't. This finale's animation is the entire point — watch it in the quality Pierrot Films built it for.
🔥 How to Catch Up Before the Bleach The Calamity Episodes
If you've fallen behind — and after a 19-month wait, no judgment — you've got homework, but it's very doable. All 40 episodes of Parts 1–3 (The Blood Warfare, The Steinritter, and The Conflict) are streaming now on Hulu and Disney+, with the English dub of all three parts available on Hulu as well. (Tech Times)
Quick refresher on the cliffhanger you're walking back into: Yhwach shattered Squad Zero's defenses and tricked Ichigo into cutting down the Soul King, sending shockwaves of destruction across all three realms. (Yahoo/CBR) That's where The Calamity picks up — with the worlds already fracturing and Ichigo carrying the weight of having caused the very catastrophe he crossed every boundary to prevent.
Also worth noting if you were tracking the theatrical run: episodes 1 to 3 of The Calamity screened in US theaters from June 25 to June 29, so some fans have already seen the opening stretch — another reason to catch up quickly before reactions flood your feed. (VvipTimes)
📖 What the Bleach The Calamity Episodes Actually Adapt
For the manga readers bracing themselves right now: The Calamity adapts manga chapters 664 through 686 — the concluding stretch of Kubo's original saga — bringing the Thousand-Year Blood War anime, and the story it started, to its end. (Tech Times)
The staff bringing it home is exactly who you'd want. Tomohisa Taguchi, who directed the first two installments of Thousand-Year Blood War, serves as chief director for The Calamity, with Hikaru Murata (director of The Conflict) directing, and composer Shiro Sagisu returning to score the finale — with Kubo himself maintaining direct creative oversight of the final arc. (Anitrendz) Sagisu's score has been one of the most-praised elements of the entire adaptation, so having him close it out is the send-off this deserves.
🏆 A Finale That Doubles as an Anniversary
There's a poetic bit of timing worth appreciating here. Kubo launched the Bleach manga in August 2001, which means the finale streaming now arrives in the series' 25th anniversary year. (Tech Times)
The scale of what's ending is hard to overstate. The franchise has sold more than 130 million manga copies worldwide and accumulated more than 62 million hours of streaming on Hulu since the revival began. (Tech Times) When the final episode airs, Bleach will become the second of Jump's "Big Three" original shonen franchises to complete its animated story — Naruto wrapped in 2017; One Piece is still sailing. (Tech Times) That's the company Bleach is keeping this week. Savor it.
