The wait is over. Bleach: Thousand-Year Blood War — The Calamity, the fourth and final part of the anime revival, is now streaming on Disney+ Singapore as of tonight, 25 July 2026. Episode 1 dropped at 10:30pm SGT, kicking off what is the last run of episodes in a serialisation that began in Weekly Shonen Jump back in 2001. As we covered when the July premiere date was confirmed, this 13-episode arc adapts chapters 664 to 686 of Tite Kubo’s manga — the climax of everything.
What Is The Calamity?
The Calamity picks up directly where Part 3 left off. Yhwach, the Quincy King, has absorbed the Soul King and shattered Squad Zero’s defences — the pillars holding the three realms in balance are crumbling. With Captain Commander Yamamoto long dead and the Gotei 13 battered and scattered, it falls to Ichigo Kurosaki and his closest allies to mount a final stand inside the Royal Palace. This is the payoff for every soul society arc, every Bankai, every power-up viewers have watched since the original 2004 run.
The arc features the full voice cast returning under director Taguchi Tomohisa, with Sagisu Shiro’s score once again driving the action. Studio Pierrot has teased an anime-original expanded finale to round out the story — the concluding episode is expected to be extended in length.
Where to Watch in Singapore — and When
Singapore viewers can stream The Calamity on Disney+ with a standard subscription. New episodes drop every Saturday at 10:30pm SGT, immediately following the Japanese broadcast on TV Tokyo. In the United States, the simulcast is exclusive to Hulu; internationally, Disney+ carries it.
For anime fans in Singapore who have been following TYBW since Part 1 launched in late 2022, the schedule is the same format you already know — one episode a week, same-day as Japan.
The Story So Far — Quick Catch-Up
If you need a refresher before diving in: Part 1 (The Blood Warfare) introduced the Wandenreich and the shocking first wave of Bankai theft. Part 2 (The Separation) saw the Soul Reapers fight back with restored and upgraded Bankai, and Yhwach’s Sternritter pushed the Gotei 13 to their limits. Part 3 (The Conflict) brought the Royal Guard into the picture, Ichigo unlocked his true Zanpakuto form, and Yhwach finally breached the Royal Palace — consuming the Soul King himself.
The Calamity begins in the immediate aftermath. Everything broken in Parts 1 through 3 now has to be resolved in 13 episodes. Battles fans have been waiting decades to see — including the final confrontation between Ichigo and Yhwach — are all in this run.
Theme Songs and Key Staff
The opening theme for The Calamity is I-BULL by jo0ji, and the ending is Rasen by 9Lana. Both artists were revealed by VIZ Media ahead of the premiere. Series director Taguchi Tomohisa (who helmed Parts 1 through 3) and composer Sagisu Shiro round out the returning core team, keeping the production’s identity consistent through to the end.
Episode Schedule — Mark Your Saturdays
With 13 episodes and a weekly cadence, The Calamity runs through to late October 2026 if no breaks are scheduled. The finale is expected to be extended — Studio Pierrot has not confirmed the exact runtime yet, but the manga’s conclusion covers enough ground to support a longer closing episode.
Set a Disney+ watchlist reminder: every Saturday at 10:30pm SGT. The series is subtitled in English on Disney+ internationally; dubbed versions typically follow a few weeks behind.
