How many episodes of Bleach: Thousand-Year Blood War are there?
There are 26 episodes in the first two seasons of Bleach: Thousand-Year Blood War - but there is more to come
The series is divided into four 'cours' (essentially seasons of television shows), which typically run for around 12-13 episodes.
The first 13 episodes aired in 2022 as Part 1: Blood Warfare. The second cour/season is titled The Separation and began in July and is set to end with the 26th episode overall (the 13th episode of season two). That should be a double bill on September 30.
Currently, 24 episodes total have aired - 11 of those in the second season. That means there are two more to go in this cour.
After that, we expect another 25 episodes to run across 2023 and 2024, bringing it to 52 total. But we don't have confirmed release dates for them just yet.
If you've lost track: the first cour ended on December 26 with the series going on a short break. Part 2, titled The Separation, began airing in July 2023.
