It adapts manga chapters 664 through 686, the final chapter of Tite Kubo\u2019s run \u2014 covering the last push against Yhwach, the collapse of the three realms after Ichigo is tricked into striking the Soul King, and the climactic battle that ends the series.<\/p>\n<p>Kubo has remained closely involved throughout the anime\u2019s production, reviewing graphics, storyboards and settings. The result has been an adaptation that corrects and expands on some of the original manga\u2019s rushed ending, making The Calamity the most anticipated of the four cours for long-time fans.<\/p>\n<figure><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.gametrader.sg\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/bleach-tybw-calamity-poster.jpg?w=474&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Bleach: Thousand-Year Blood War \u2013 The Calamity official poster\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><figcaption>Image courtesy of Pierrot \/ VIZ Media<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2>When and where to watch in Singapore<\/h2>\n<p><em>The Calamity<\/em> premieres on TV Tokyo at 11 pm JST on <strong>25 July 2026<\/strong>, which is midnight on 26 July in Singapore.
