The end is finally here. BLEACH: Thousand-Year Blood War — The Calamity, the fourth and final part of Pierrot’s landmark BLEACH adaptation, has its Japan advance theatrical run today, 21 June — three episodes on the big screen before a full TV premiere in July 2026 on TV Tokyo. Singapore fans, your Disney+ account is all you need.
What Is BLEACH: Thousand-Year Blood War — The Calamity?
The Calamity (禍進譚, Kashintан) is the fourth and concluding chapter of the Thousand-Year Blood War arc — the grand final showdown between Ichigo Kurosaki and the Quincy King, Yhwach. If The Conflict left you breathless, The Calamity is where it all pays off.
Studio Pierrot produces the series under chief series director Tomohisa Taguchi and director Hikaru Murata. Creator Tite Kubo has remained closely involved throughout the production run. The Calamity picks up the explosive threads of The Conflict and drives them through to the manga’s conclusion.
A quick recap of the parts so far: The Blood Warfare (Part 1, October 2022), The Separation (Part 2, 2023), The Conflict (Part 3, 2024). The Calamity completes the set — and closes the chapter on one of anime’s most ambitious comeback arcs.
Japan Advance Screening — Today, 21 June
Japanese fans are getting an exclusive one-day-only theatrical screening of Episodes 1–3 of The Calamity today. Participating cinemas include Shinjuku Balto 9, United Cinemas Aqua City Odaiba, Sapporo Cinema Frontier, Midland Square Cinema, T-Joy Umeda, and T-Joy Hakata, among others.

A special cast premiere event takes place at United Cinemas Aqua City Odaiba at 14:00 and 16:35 showings (the latter reserved for Klub Outside fan club members). Live-viewing broadcasts of the stage greetings are streaming at 29 cinemas nationwide. Attendees receive an exclusive original illustration card set (3 cards) as a commemorative gift.
Overseas Screenings This Week
If you happen to be in the US this week, Fathom Events and Viz Media are bringing Episodes 1–3 to American theatres from 25–29 June — both Japanese subtitled and English dubbed. The screenings include an exclusive behind-the-scenes conversation with creator Tite Kubo and directors Tomohisa Taguchi and Hikaru Murata, making it a proper event for fans.
UK cinema screenings are confirmed for 26 June as well. No Singapore theatrical screening has been announced as of this writing.
When and Where to Watch in Singapore
The regular TV broadcast kicks off in July 2026 on TV Tokyo (exact premiere date to be confirmed). For Singapore fans, all three previous parts of Thousand-Year Blood War were available on Disney+, and The Calamity is confirmed for Disney+ internationally. That means Singapore fans should be able to stream it from launch — watch your Disney+ app for the exact date closer to July.
Ani-One Asia, which streams anime across Southeast Asia, is also expected to carry the series in some markets (to be confirmed for Singapore specifically).
Last Words
BLEACH: Thousand-Year Blood War has been one of the best anime comebacks in recent memory — and The Calamity is the finale Singapore fans have been waiting for since 2022. The advance screening buzz coming out of Japan today suggests Pierrot has saved the best for last. Mark July on your Disney+ calendar and get ready. Ichigo vs Yhwach, one last time.
