Bleach TYBW is finally coming back this month, and fans can’t wait to see it. Fans were upset that their favorite show didn’t have a proper ending, but the creators came to their rescue by announcing Season 17. The Thousand Year Blood War arc of Tite Kubo’s manga will be followed by this new season.
The first episode of the Bleach series came out on October 5, 2004, when Studio Pierrot started to animate the manga. About 366 episodes, or 16 seasons, of the shonen show, were made available. But after the last episode aired on March 27, 2012, fans asked for more. They wanted the rest of the manga to be shown in the anime. Now, nearly 10 years later, the show’s creators have decided to bring it back.
The release date for Bleach: Thousand Year Blood War is October 2022. Leaks suggest that Studio Pierrot will once again do the animation for the series.
Where To Stream Bleach: Thousand Year Blood War?
The anime is set to come back on TV in Tokyo in Japan on October 11, 2022. As was said before, it will be a four-part series. Crunchyroll was expected to stream the last season because it is a popular and widely used site for streaming anime. But new reports say that Disney+ was able to outbid Crunchyroll and get the rights to stream the anime.

Because of this, on September 30, 2022, Crunchyroll took down all of the episodes of Bleach from its website. Also, now that the news about its airing has been made official, it is clear that Crunchyroll will not be streaming the returning anime series.
Only Disney+ will be able to stream the show from now on. Even though the OTT platform has a few anime shows, it is not known for its anime section because it does not have a lot of anime shows.
There are signs that Disney+ will not put out the episodes right away. But there are two possibilities: either the episodes will come out a few weeks after they come out in Japan, or all 60 episodes will come out at once when they are done. Because of this, Bleach: The Young Blood Wars is not likely to come out on Disney+ in October 2022.
In the meantime, VIZ Media put out a statement saying that Bleach Season 17 episodes will be broadcast at the same time. This means that the episodes will be available everywhere in the world every week. Bleach TYBW will also get an English dub from VIZ Media, but the dates for that have not been set yet.
Final Lines
After a long break of 10 years, the popular anime series will finally come back to adapt the last part of the manga by Tite Kubo. But the way things are going in the real world makes fans of the show very unhappy.

At first, there were worries about the bidding war between Crunchyroll and Disney+. After that, it’s up to the winning party to decide how to handle it. Also, the platform’s rules don’t match up with what the show is about, which makes fans wonder if the show will have to change its ratings to fit the “family-friendly” label.
There are also rumors that Disney+ will put all 16 seasons of the show on their platform, but this has not been confirmed by the company.
