The Films

2006 – 2010 · Side stories · Four, none of them canon.

Bleach: Memories of Nobody

16 Dec 2006

A side story about a world between the living and the dead. Non-canon, and unconnected to anything before or after it.

Bleach: The DiamondDust Rebellion

22 Dec 2007

Hitsugaya disappears with a stolen artefact. The best regarded of the four, and still optional.

Movie

Bleach: Fade to Black

13 Dec 2008

Soul Society forgets Ichigo exists. A better premise than the series ever does anything with.

Movie
05

Bleach: Hell Verse

4 Dec 2010

The last of the films, and the one that looks the best. Still nothing the series refers back to.

Thousand-Year Blood War

2022 – 2026 · Main line · The final arc, ten years on.

Thousand-Year Blood War (Part 1: The Blood Warfare)

11 Oct 2022

Ten years after the series stopped, it returns to adapt the ending. No filler, a new studio, and a visible jump in budget.

Thousand-Year Blood War (Part 2: The Separation)

8 Jul 2023

The Quincy invasion continues, and the cost starts landing on people you know.
