Over the years, Bleach became one of the “Big Three” shonen anime series, alongside Naruto and One Piece, gaining a massive fanbase worldwide.

The manga concluded in 2016, but the anime adaptation, originally aired from 2004 to 2012, left fans wanting more as it ended before the final arc.

That changed with the release of the Thousand-Year Blood War arc, which adapts the series’s final and arguably the most action-packed and emotional storyline.

The Thousand-Year Blood War (TYBW) arc, first introduced in 2022, has been divided into multiple parts. This arc focuses on the epic clash between the Soul Reapers and the powerful Quincy forces led by Yhwach, a dangerous enemy who threatens to rewrite the entire universe’s fate.
