Arriving 10 years after the end of the original anime, Bleach: Thousand-Year Blood War is the sequel to the original Shonen series and adaptation of the manga's final story arc with its own batch of episodes to follow.

Following where the 2004 anime left off, Soul Reaper Ichigo Kurosaki is called back into battle when a new enemy appears for the final arc, which we never previously saw due to the original series getting cancelled.

At the time of its announcement, the anime was said to run for four cours, a unit that's used for Japanese shows, one being equivalent to 13 episodes. With off-season breaks in-between, cours can eventually be thought of as seasons.

Because of those breaks, however, it can be tough to keep track of which episodes are airing and when. With Bleach: Thousand-Year Blood War now on Part 3: The Conflict, its third cour of episodes, we'll take you through all of the release dates still to come.
