The kids of Ichigo, Orihime, Rukia, and Renji are confirmed to appear at the end of the Bleach anime series, with their respective voice actors also teased. Shueisha has revealed via the Japanese anime show’s official social media account that it will make the announcement via the Weekly Shonen Jump issue it will publish on September 28, 2026.
The company also noted that the grand conclusion to the whole Bleach anime series will be available in late October 2026. It will form the closing parts of the final season of Bleach: The Thousand-Year Blood War – The Calamity, which launched earlier in July 2026.
For the record, the original manga run of Bleach, which first launched in 2001, had long concluded in 2016 with a time-skip epilogue that shows some of the key characters who married each other and had children. Ichigo Kurosaki eventually married Orihime, and they later had a son named Kazui Kurosaki on April 29. Meanwhile, Rukia would canonically marry Renji Abarai and later give birth to a girl named Ichika Abarai on October 28.
The 2026 44th issue of Weekly Shonen Jump on September 28, 2026, will include reveals of voice actors for the next-generation kids Kazui Kurosaki and Ichika Abarai in the Bleach anime. The anime series will conclude with the last two episodes—Episodes 49 and 50—premiering consecutively in Japan at midnight on October 20 and 27, 2026.
