Episode 14, the premiere of Bleach: Thousand-Year Blood War Part 2, was scheduled for July 8, 2023 at 11:00 p.m. JST on Japanese television and July 9 at noon JST on subscription streaming. Some transaction-based streaming sites had a later date: July 13 at 24:00 JST, equivalent to July 14 at midnight. Episode 13’s exact original release date and time are not established by the official schedule cited here, so it should not be inferred from episode 14’s timing.
Episode 14 release date and time
Aniplex’s May 28, 2023 announcement gave separate dates for different Japanese release routes. Episode 14 opened Part 2, so its date followed the Part 2 schedule rather than a continuous weekly run from episode 13.
| Release route | Episode 14 schedule | Qualification |
|---|---|---|
| Japanese television broadcast | July 8, 2023, at 23:00 JST | Part 2 broadcast premiere. |
| Subscription streaming | July 9, 2023, at 12:00 JST | Part 2 streaming began the following day. |
| Transaction-based streaming | July 13, 2023, at 24:00 JST (July 14 at 00:00 in ordinary clock notation) | Aniplex specified this timing for some sites, not every transaction-based service. |
These are historical Japan schedule times, not universal release times for every country or platform. Aniplex’s announcement does not establish a separate local release time for viewers elsewhere. Aniplex’s Part 2 announcement is the source for the dates and route distinctions.
What is known about episode 13?
The official schedule cited for episode 14 does not verify episode 13’s original date or time. Because episode 14 began Part 2, the gap between the adjacent episode numbers reflects the break between parts; it is not evidence that episode 13 aired immediately before episode 14. Avoid treating episode 14’s July schedule as episode 13’s date.

Where to watch the series now
Current availability and scheduling are different from the 2023 release dates and vary by market. VIZ’s August 28, 2026 guide lists the current final part on Hulu on Disney+ in the United States and on Disney+ internationally, with weekly episodes scheduled Saturdays at 7:30 a.m. PDT (14:30 UTC). The guide describes a current schedule, not a guarantee that every title or episode is available in every territory. See VIZ’s current streaming guide for its listed services, dates, and language schedules.
For additional Japan-specific context, the official BLEACH anime site announced that streaming from episode 47 onward changes to Tuesdays at 18:00 on listed services; it also says the free ad-supported schedule is unchanged. That later schedule does not alter the original dates for episodes 13 and 14. Check the relevant service’s listing for current local availability, since schedules can change.
