Bleach: Thousand-Year Blood War Part 3 Episode 2 originally released on October 12, 2024, at 10:30 p.m. ET / 7:30 p.m. PT. It is a past release, not an upcoming episode. The contemporaneous schedule also listed 9:30 p.m. Central Time and 3:30 a.m. British Summer Time on October 13.
Episode 2 release time by time zone
The listed North American time comes from a contemporaneous release guide. Its time-zone conversions were:
| Time zone | Original date | Original time |
|---|---|---|
| Eastern Time (U.S.) | October 12, 2024 | 10:30 p.m. |
| Central Time (U.S.) | October 12, 2024 | 9:30 p.m. |
| Pacific Time (U.S.) | October 12, 2024 | 7:30 p.m. |
| British Summer Time (U.K.) | October 13, 2024 | 3:30 a.m. |
These are the conversions printed in the guide at the time, rather than a newly verified schedule. [ComingSoon’s release guide]
Why Japan’s Part 3 start date was different
Japan’s official announcement said Part 3 would begin sequential streaming on October 6, 2024, at noon in Japan. That was the start of the cour’s rollout across platforms, not the North American release date for Episode 2. [Official Japanese announcement]

Where to watch Part 3
In a guide dated December 8, 2024, VIZ identified Hulu as the U.S. streaming service for Part 3, titled The Conflict, and Disney+ as the service internationally. The guide listed English and Spanish subtitles for U.S. Hulu, and English, Spanish, Brazilian Portuguese, Italian, German, and French subtitles for Disney+ internationally. Those details describe the announced distribution at that time; catalogs and rights can change, so check the service available in your territory. [VIZ’s Part 3 streaming guide]
The English dub followed a separate schedule
The later dubbed episodes did not use the original subtitled release time. VIZ said U.S. Hulu released English-dub episodes 27–30 on November 23, 2024, with subsequent new episodes scheduled for Saturdays at 6:30 a.m. PT. For international Disney+ regions, VIZ listed weekly English dubbing beginning November 2, 2024, in LATAM, EMEA, MENA, Australia/New Zealand, and Canada; other dubbed-language schedules varied.

Part 3 Blu-ray editions
Part 3 is available as a collected cour rather than an Episode 2-only disc. VIZ lists a Limited Edition, two-disc Blu-ray with 14 episodes, 16:9 HD 1080p video, English and Japanese stereo audio, English subtitles, bonus features, and a 72-page booklet, dated January 13, 2026. A separate official Japanese product listing gives May 28, 2025, as the release date for a two-disc Part 3 Blu-ray/DVD set containing the full cour. Check the edition, region compatibility, current availability, and price with the seller before buying; those details are not established here.

Independent reader supportYour contribution helps us test, update, and keep practical guides available for everyone.Part 3 context
VIZ describes The Conflict as the continuing fight between Soul Reapers and Quincies after the Wandenreich’s second attack transforms the Seireitei into the Schatten Bereich, as the Court Guard Squads seek to reclaim their stolen Bankai. That is series context, not a confirmation of Episode 2’s specific plot or official English episode title. [VIZ’s series overview]
