What to Expect From Bleach: Thousand-Year Blood War Part 4?
Bleach fans surely didn’t have it easy after the studio wrapped up the original anime in 2012 without adapting the final arc for over ten years. Now the TYBW Arc is closer to its ending than ever, and will even have slight changes from the controversial manga ending. During the serialization, the manga’s finale was met with heavy criticism for being anticlimactic. Not only that, but Kubo even confirmed in December 2024 that the final part will have a lot more non-manga content than the previous parts.
We may even get entire episodes of original scenes. Kubo has been a part of the anime’s production for the final arc, and has even created original designs of non-manga characters. The anime-only content also plays out well for the studio since they don’t have a lot of manga chapters to create a 13-episode season. The third part ends around Chapter 656 of the manga, so the fourth part has 30 chapters left to cover.
As hinted in Part 3, the final part will delve deeper into the history of the Soul King and the Soul Society while covering the final showdown between Ichigo and Yhwach. We will see the true extent of Ichigo’s powers and everything he has achieved after strengthening his resolve and even training with Squad Zero. It won’t just be our protagonist, but even the underrated characters will get a chance to shine in this epic war against the Quincies.
