Bleach anime concludes 22-year journey with final episode
The anime adaptation of Tite Kubo’s Bleach has officially concluded with the release of the 50th episode of the ‘Thousand-Year Blood War’ arc, titled ‘Death & Strawberry’. The finale, which received a 9.1/10 rating on IMDb, features a ten-year time skip that explores the legacy of the protagonists and introduces a new generation, including the children of Ichigo Kurosaki and Rukia Kuchiki.
This final installment marks the end of a production cycle that began in 2004. Unlike the original manga conclusion in 2016, which some readers felt was rushed, this adaptation benefited from the direct supervision of Tite Kubo, allowing for the inclusion of previously unseen scenes and enhanced technical quality. The series, which was part of the ‘Big Three’ alongside Naruto and One Piece, returned in 2022 after a decade-long hiatus to complete the final story arc.
While the anime has reached its current conclusion, fans are speculating about future projects. A mysterious teaser featuring the phrase ‘The Stories of Brave’ appeared following the episode, and upcoming events at Jump Festa 2027 may provide further updates regarding the franchise's future.
