The 13th and final episode of the Bleach: Sennen Kessen-hen (Bleach: Thousand-Year Blood War) television anime announced its second cours on Tuesday, subtitled Ketsubetsu-tan (The Separation), revealing an announcement promo. The second part is set to premiere in July 2023 on TV Tokyo.

The first part, produced by Pierrot, began airing on October 11. Hulu simulcast the anime in the U.S and subsequently streamed an English dub. Disney+ streamed the anime internationally, excluding Asia. The anime series will air in four split cours.

Sennen Kessen-hen (Thousand-Year Blood War) adapts the final arc of Tite Kubo's Bleach manga, which spans from the 55th to the 74th volume. Prior to the series' serialization, Kubo published a pilot chapter in December 2000. The action adventure manga debuted in Weekly Shounen Jump in August 2001. After a 15-year serialization, Kubo ended the series in August 2016. Shueisha published the 74th and final volume in November that year.

VIZ Media acquired the series' master license in March 2006 and serialized the manga in English in its print edition of Shounen Jump magazine between November 2007 and March 2012. The manga concurrently moved to the Weekly Shonen Jump Alpha digital anthology in January 2012. The company published the 74th and final volume in October 2018 and released the 26th home video installment of the anime in September 2015.

The first television anime by Pierrot began airing in Fall 2004 and ended with 366 episodes in Winter 2012, covering the first 54 volumes. The manga also inspired four anime films in 2006, 2007, 2008, and 2010 December.

Synopsis
Substitute Soul Reaper Ichigo Kurosaki spends his days fighting against Hollows, dangerous evil spirits that threaten Karakura Town. Ichigo carries out his quest with his closest allies: Orihime Inoue, his childhood friend with a talent for healing; Yasutora Sado, his high school classmate with superhuman strength; and Uryuu Ishida, Ichigo's Quincy rival.

Ichigo's vigilante routine is disrupted by the sudden appearance of Asguiaro Ebern, a dangerous Arrancar who heralds the return of Yhwach, an ancient Quincy king. Yhwach seeks to reignite the historic blood feud between Soul Reaper and Quincy, and he sets his sights on erasing both the human world and the Soul Society for good.

Yhwach launches a two-pronged invasion into both the Soul Society and Hueco Mundo, the home of Hollows and Arrancar. In retaliation, Ichigo and his friends must fight alongside old allies and enemies alike to end Yhwach's campaign of carnage before the world itself comes to an end. [Written by MAL Rewrite]
