Bleach: Thousand-Year Blood War – The Conflict Finale Delayed by One Month

The creators decided to do extra work on the quality of the final episodes.

The production committee for the anime Bleach: Thousand-Year Blood War – The Conflict has delayed the premiere of its final episodes by one month, moving them from the second half of September to the second half of October. The penultimate 49th episode will now release on October 19, and the final 50th episode will air on October 26.

The creators explained the schedule change by citing a desire to improve the series quality ahead of the climax. The team apologized to viewers for the wait and promised to continue working so they can present the remaining episodes "in the best possible shape."

The Conflict will conclude the adaptation of Tite Kubo’s final manga arc. Pierrot Films is handling production, Tomohisa Taguchi serves as chief director, and Hikaru Murata is directing the final part.
