A main trailer for Bleach: Thousand-Year Blood War Part 4 - The Calamity is now public. The video shows parts of the remaining confrontations between the Soul Reapers and their allies and the forces of Quincy King Yhwach. It opens with Ichigo Kurosaki fighting Yhwach and then moves through action sequences with Kisuke Urahara, Yoruichi Shihoin, Gotei 13 members, and Uryu Ishida. The final installment adapts the last story arc of Tite Kubo's manga and will premiere in July 2026. Before the broadcast, a one-day advance theatrical screening of the first three episodes will be held in Japan on June 21. The event will run in select theaters in Hokkaido, Tokyo, Aichi, Osaka, and Fukuoka. Stage greetings at the United Cinemas Aqua City Odaiba will include cast members Masakazu Morita, Noriaki Sugiyama, Shinichiro Miki, Yuichiro Umehara, and Shunsuke Takeuchi. Attendees receive exclusive illustration card bonuses, and Klub Outside members at the evening screening get a special sticker drawn by Kubo. A limited theatrical premiere in the United States was previously set for June 25 to June 29 through Fathom Entertainment and VIZ Media.
The trailer also confirms that the Japan theatrical pre-screening on June 21 will be a one-day event, not an extended run. The U.S. screenings, handled by Fathom Entertainment and VIZ Media, will span five days from June 25 to June 29.
