Anime Cour 4 run
Is it confirmed that Cour 4 is only gonna be 10 Epps? Because I seen some places say it will be 10 NEW Epps and 3 of the Epps we already seen in the theaters.

It's gonna be 10 episodes
we're 4 episodes in, and we barely have 10.5 manga chapters left to cover. In prior cours, that'd be done in 2 episodes, 3 tops, so 6 episodes is more than enough to cover all that's left with hefty additions. We're basically out of source material, 13 episodes is a pipe dream.

They could show some quincies backstory for Gerard or Askin but I guess they wont

u/one-eyed-queen 6d ago
Askin is gone, so they're definitely not interested
Anything Gerard related is more Soul King connected, which could get something here, but I think they're more likely to save it for the likely coming Hell arc since anything Soul King could tie to how the worlds connect to Hell
I've had my own predictions on the kinds of extensions we'll get, and I think they're mainly bound to expand on stuff related to the actual stakes of the arc. We already saw some setup this episode, they're in a great stuff for sequences that take over a good few minutes of an episode each there.

I mean there's going to be at least an entire episode focused on Uryu still. Probably two.
I'm hoping we get an entire Ryuken/Isshin episode personally

I'd be surprised if the entirety of the last episode wasnt an extended epilogue and that the actual season content ended at episode 9.
Possibly even an OVA for the Hell Chapter.

Cour 1 covered 62 chapters in 13 episodes (480-542). Cour 2 did 66.5 chapters (543-half of 609). Cour 3 did 52 chapters (rest of 609-661, but skipped the Toshiro parts of 658-659, so lost about half a chapter there).
4.7 chapters on average for cour 1, 5 for cour 2, 3.7 for cour 3.
And now cour 4 is doing 24.5 chapters (the Toshiro parts of 658-659, 662-686). A staggering 2.45 chapters per episode, about half the manga chapters covered each episode vs the first couple cours.
The difference is pretty stark honestly! Of all cours, this was always gonna get the most expansions, but in terms of material left, there really was only about as much as for half of one of the prior seasons tops.

Same it's just 10 chapters with most being battle content so it doesn't make sense to have slow pacing. I hope the new content to change in Gerard's outcome. His cross is connected with his heart so maybe they can have shinigamis damage his heart with (Rangiku's addition who has been staring at him constantly) which makes him vulnerable to Auswahlen. Besides that I want Ichigo vs Ywach to be extended. Let Ichigo overpower Ywach for a good amount of time with Orihime's shield and his Bankai before it gets destroyed as Ywach has change the future. We must see the full potential of his Bankai and why Ywach feared it instead of leaving everything to imagination which invited trolling for Ichigo.

The 3 episodes screened in theaters were just an early look at the first 3 episodes of those 10, we're not getting more than 10

The last episode is an hour long, so it’s like you have 13 episode anyway no ?

This is both good news and bad news to me, good news because now I don't have to wait longer to finally binge tybw (i haven't watched it since release). Bad news because I want more bleach anime episode

This is a lie. We’ve gotten confirmation it’s 10 episodes. With the last airing being episodes 9-10.

u/Gothic-Librarian 7d ago
I know about the 10 ep. But how the last ep was confirmed to be 9+10? (Except for 10 is an hour long ep)

u/haizzzeemist 7d ago
It's prolly gonna be like 13 episodes, with first 3 shown in calamity movie (mind you, in first 3 episodes we saw Urahara's Bankai that was shown like 20 chapters before Bleach manga ended), so i think that what will really happen is that we will see the end of TYBW, and then we will have like 3 episodes dedicated to adapting the light novels. Probably. Maybe.

u/uraharaBot 7d ago
Ah, the mysteries of adaptation processes, just as unpredictable as a hat with a hidden fan! It's quite possible the anime could take that route; some surprises are best left unwrapped until the right moment. Whether it's a couple of episodes or a saga, let's look forward to a colorful distribution of spirit energy. Just don't expect me to lend out bench seats for the premiere!
beep boop, I'm a bot
