A limited-time pop-up event titled 「BLEACH THE STORIES OF ICHIGO」 has been announced to celebrate the broadcast of the final cour of the TV anime BLEACH: Thousand-Year Blood War – Calamity Saga. The event will run in Tokyo from September 4, 2026, followed by Osaka from November 28, 2026.

About BLEACH

BLEACH is a sword-and-battle action manga by Tite Kubo, serialized in Weekly Shonen Jump, with a total series circulation exceeding 130 million copies worldwide. The story follows Ichigo Kurosaki, a teenager who unexpectedly gains the powers of a Soul Reaper (Shinigami) and becomes embroiled in the conflicts of the Soul Society — the realm where the souls of the deceased gather.

The TV anime BLEACH: Thousand-Year Blood War began airing in October 2022 as a revamped final chapter, featuring a refreshed character design and upgraded production quality compared to the original series (2004–2012). Its final cour, – Calamity Saga –, began broadcasting on July 25.

Event Highlights

Venues will be decorated with powerful displays featuring “THE STORIES VISUAL of Ichigo Kurosaki” — key visuals spanning every major battle throughout the series. A wide range of original merchandise featuring deformed (chibi-style) illustrations will be available for purchase.

• Tokyo: Will feature large-scale installations taking advantage of the spacious venue.
• Osaka: Will offer additional exclusive merchandise not available in Tokyo.
• Free Smart Print Booth: Customers who make a purchase will have free access to an in-venue Smart Print machine with an original BLEACH photo frame, plus a deformed-character photo spot.
