BLEACH FES, a two-day event celebrating the conclusion of the BLEACH anime, will take place at Makuhari Messe Event Hall in Chiba, Japan, on February 27 and 28, 2027. The event will feature 15 voice actors over the two days, including live voice performances and other special programs.
The announcement came after the broadcast of BLEACH: Thousand-Year Blood War Episode 7 “BORN IN THE DARK” in Japan. It was the first of four episodes that will be aired on TV in Japan ahead of the delayed final two episodes of The Calamity.
The event’s lineup will include Masakazu Morita (Ichigo Kurosaki), Fumiko Orikasa (Rukia Kuchiki), Yuki Matsuoka (Orihime Inoue), Hiroki Yasumoto (Yasutora Sado) and Noriaki Sugiyama (Uryu Ishida). Additional guests include Shinichiro Miki (Kisuke Urahara), Ryotaro Okiayu (Byakuya Kuchiki) and Show Hayami (Sosuke Aizen).
A teaser visual drawn by the BLEACH anime character designer Masashi Kudo was also revealed. It pays homage to the cover of the manga’s first volume.
A commemorative announcement video was also released.

Created by Tite Kubo, BLEACH was serialized in Weekly Shonen Jump from 2001 to 2016 and concluded with 74 volumes. The manga has exceeded 130 million copies in circulation worldwide, making it one of the best-selling manga series of all time.
The original anime adaptation aired from 2004 to 2012 and received four theatrical films. The franchise returned in 2022 with BLEACH: Thousand-Year Blood War, adapting the manga’s final arc. Its final part (Part 4) is set to release in July. Tite Kubo has confirmed it will include even more original material than the previous parts, expanding the manga’s final battles.
On a related note, BLEACH: Mirrors High opened pre-registrations last month, with the game set to launch in 2026.
