Bleach is bigger than ever, and now, as fans wait for more information on Thousand-Year Blood War Part 4: The Calamity, it has been announced that a special presentation will be held on March 31st that will reveal new information. The news comes from Bleach's channel in Japan, TV Tokyo, who have promised to reveal the first public information on Part 4. The presentation will air on TV Tokyo at midnight JST on March 31st.

More information on Thousand-Year Blood War Part 4 isn't the only reason for fans to be excited, however, as the special presentation will contain an interview with musician Aqua Timez, who is releasing a music video inspired by the series. Fans can also expect gameplay of Bleach: Rebirth of Souls to be featured.

What Can Bleach Fans Expect On March 31st?

There Are A Few Things That Are Most Likely

While no more information about the special Bleach presentation is known, the most likely possibilities are a trailer and release date combo. If that is the case, then fans definitely have reason to be hyped, as Thousand-Year Blood War Part 4 is known aside from the manga material it's adapting and its subtitle, The Calamity. Part 4 should be the conclusion of Thousand-Year Blood War and thus the conclusion of Bleach's original story, so fan expectations are high.

Based on the gaps between past seasons, it appears likely that fans can expect a summer or early fall release date. Thousand-Year Blood War Part 1 ended on December 27th 2022, while Part 2 began on July 8th 2023. Part 3 of Thousand-Year Blood War similarly ended on December 28th 2024, so that means July or August are the most likely candidates for Part 4's release.

Bleach's March 31st Stream Is Proof The Franchise Is Bigger Than Ever

A New Game, Anime, And Music Video Are All Signs Of The Series' Enduring Popularity

Bleach has seen a bit of a renaissance ever since the release of Thousand-Year Blood War Part 1 in 2022. Given that the original Bleach anime had previously been canceled and wasn't allowed to finish out its story, instead ending on the Fullbringer Arc in 2012, this resurgence is even more impressive. While nostalgia is definitely part of the franchise's rise from the ashes, it also can't be stated enough that Studio Pierrot's exceptional job on Thousand-Year Blood War helped.

Not only was the Thousand-Year Blood War anime beautifully animated, it also took time to improve on things the manga could have handled better

Not only was the Thousand-Year Blood War anime beautifully animated, it also took time to improve on things the manga could have handled better, such as introducing Bankai that weren't present in the Bleach manga. Given the new anime's success, it's no wonder that a new fighting game in Rebirth of Souls was announced.

Overall, it's been a great time to be a fan of Bleach. Regardless of what's revealed on March 31st, there's no doubt that anyone who's even remotely interested in Bleach: Thousand-Year Blood War should be paying attention.
