Bleach TYBW Part 4 episode schedule: when new episodes come out

Bleach: Thousand-Year Blood War Part 4 is now in its weekly run. The final cour premiered on Japanese television on 25 July 2026, and its first five episodes are already listed on Disney+. If the broadcast proceeds without a break, the next Japanese television episode is scheduled for 29 August.

The dates look simple until they cross borders. Japan has a fixed Saturday television slot and participating Japanese services begin streaming on Sunday, but international platforms can update at a different local time. The table therefore uses the Japan TV date as its anchor instead of pretending there is one worldwide countdown.

Bleach TYBW Part 4 at a glance

Bleach TYBW Part 4 episode release schedule

The series keeps counting from the previous cour, while Disney+ files these installments under Season 4. The two episode columns below prevent the familiar problem of finding “episode 2” on one service and “episode 42” somewhere else. A row marked “Scheduled” follows the confirmed weekly TV slot; we leave the title blank until a licensed listing supplies it.

We stop at episode 46 for now. Filling every later Saturday would be easy, but it would also turn a weekly pattern into a promise the broadcaster has not made. A recap, special program or delay can move the calendar, so new rows will be added as the listings catch up.

When do new Bleach episodes come out?

TV Tokyo and its affiliated stations air the final cour in Japan at 11:00 p.m. JST on Saturdays. Japanese on-demand services begin their rollout from noon on Sunday, although each service can keep its own publication window. That is why a viewer in the United States may see the episode on a different calendar day.

For most viewers, the useful rule is simple: start checking your licensed platform after the Japanese broadcast. Countdown pages often convert the TV slot as if it were a universal streaming launch, but subtitles, dubbing and regional catalog updates do not always move together.

Where to watch Bleach TYBW Part 4 legally

In the United States, Hulu carries Bleach: Thousand-Year Blood War. Disney+ lists Season 4 in multiple international markets, and its page showed the first five subtitled episodes when we checked. Open the series page in your own region before subscribing; a title appearing in another country’s catalog does not guarantee local access.

The Japanese broadcast page also names Disney+, Netflix, Hulu, Prime Video, U-NEXT, ABEMA and several domestic services. That is a Japan-specific list, not a promise that every platform carries Part 4 worldwide. The source links below point only to the official anime site and licensed services.

How many episodes will Bleach TYBW Part 4 have?

There is no confirmed total yet. Part 4 is the final cour, but “final cour” tells us where it sits in the adaptation, not how many episodes it contains. Previous cour lengths and the remaining manga chapters make estimates tempting; they do not make those estimates official.

When a broadcaster, production committee or home-video listing gives a number, we will update both the answer box and the schedule. Until then, the honest answer is less exciting but more useful: Part 4 is airing, and its final episode count remains unannounced.

What is Part 4 about? A spoiler-light setup

Part 4 begins after the collapse of the balance that held the Three Worlds together. Yhwach has broken through the Royal Guard’s defense, taken control of the Royal Palace and reshaped it into Wahr Welt. The surviving Soul Reapers and Quincies are forced toward the same battlefield even though their reasons for fighting remain sharply different.

The emotional hinge is Ichigo and Uryu. By this point, their conflict is not simply a contest of stronger abilities; it asks whether trust can survive choices that looked like betrayal. The official synopsis places their relationship inside the final confrontation with Yhwach and the fight for all three worlds. We will leave episode outcomes and manga-only turns out of this schedule.

Do you need to watch Parts 1–3 first?

Yes—this is the payoff, not a fresh starting point. Part 4 expects you to know Yhwach, the Wandenreich, Squad Zero, the Soul King and Uryu’s place in the war. A recap can refresh the names, but it cannot recreate the decisions that give the final battles their weight.

How AdaptLore keeps this schedule accurate

Our update rule is straightforward. The Bleach broadcast page controls the Japanese slot, the Part 4 story page supplies narrative context, and licensed service pages confirm which episodes viewers can actually open. Fan posts and search snippets can alert us to a change, but they do not fill a blank cell on their own.

Because this is a live schedule, routine additions appear through the page’s Updated date. A material mistake goes through the AdaptLore corrections policy instead of disappearing in a silent edit. We last checked the table on 25 August 2026.

Not necessarily. Disney+ identified the available Part 4 episodes as subtitled when we checked, and dub timing can differ by market. The audio options on your regional episode page are more reliable than a date copied from another country.
