Bleach: Thousand-Year Blood War Reveals Horn of Salvation Key Visual

Bleach: Thousand-Year Blood War revealed a new key visual for The Calamity, the fourth and final cour of the anime, due to premiere in 2026. The new visual showcases Ichigo's final transformation in the series, known as his "awakened" state, or the "Horn of Salvation."

Studio Pierrot is animating the Bleach: Thousand-Year Blood War, which adapts the final parts of Tite Kubo's manga. The manga was serialized in the Weekly Shonen Jump magazine from 2002 to 2016. The original anime adaptation began in 2004 and ended in 2012, after 366 episodes, many of which were filler content. The franchise also has multiple movies, games, side stories, and spin-offs, with the most popular being Burn the Witch, which was also adapted as a movie and a TV special.

The Thousand-Year Blood War anime premiered in 2022. It was followed by a sequel titled The Separation in 2023 and The Conflict (credited to Pierrot Films) in 2024. VIZ Media holds the license for the series. Hulu is streaming the anime in the US, and Disney+ is handling the worldwide release.
