The upcoming Bleach: Thousand-Year Blood War – The Calamity Episode 4 is scheduled to be released on Saturday, August 15, 2026, at 8:00 am Pacific Daylight Time (PDT). After the release on several television networks in Japan, the upcoming episode will stream on Hulu in the US and Disney+ globally.

Based on what went down in Episode 3, titled “Blood for My Bone“, the upcoming episode will likely show off Ichigo’s Horn of Salvation powers as he continues to fight against Yhwach in Wahrwelt. Furthermore, we will also likely see the climax of the battle between the captains and Gerard Valkyrie.

The US fans of the Bleach series can watch the upcoming Episode 4 on Hulu, and global fans can enjoy it on Disney+ (JioHotstar and Anime Times for India). For Japanese fans, the streaming options are plenty: U-NEXT, d Anime Store, Amazon Prime Video, Netflix, DMM TV, ABEMA, and many others have confirmed to carry the episodes of the final saga as it releases every week. We have also received reports that Netflix is streaming the episodes in the Philippines.

Although Bleach is one of the most popular shonen anime titles – one of the best shonen anime of all time – only Hulu is currently holding the streaming rights in the US, as other giants like Crunchyroll and Netflix do not seem to be carrying the title in their libraries. However, since the aforementioned platforms do carry the title partially, a future addition is not completely a far-fetched idea.

What to Expect from Bleach: Thousand-Year Blood War – The Calamity Episode 4?

Looking back at Episode 3, the expectations are pretty clear. With Ichigo unlocking his Horn of Salvation form against Yhwach and the three Gotei 13 Captains, Toshiro, Byakuya, and Zaraki, standing united against Gerard Valkyrie, both storylines ended on massive cliffhangers that scream for a resolution. While fans are eager for these conflicts to conclude, shifting to an additional narrative wouldn’t be surprising, especially since we are only 3/13 episodes into the final part of the anime.
