The End of Bleach: In the Final Episode, Who Got the Last Laugh?

Bleach, the popular anime series created by Tite Kubo, concluded after 16 years on air. The final episode aired in Japan on July 27, 2018 with the series ending with over 366 episodes total! If you’ve watched Bleach from the beginning and are curious about what happened at the end of Bleach, we’ll tell you who got the last laugh in the final episode of Bleach, as well as share some other fun facts about this popular anime series that have yet to be released in English!

(1) Why Did Bleach Get Canceled?

In 2007, Tite Kubo's manga ended its run with 60 volumes and low sales in Japan. When it was released in the United States by Viz Media in 2006, a TV adaptation from studio Pierrot aired on Cartoon Network's Adult Swim at 1 am (Eastern Time) block. After airing only 12 episodes (of what would have been an expected 70), it went back into hiatus. 

The last episode aired December 6th, 2009. The final episode of Bleach aired as promised at 1am EST on January 27th, 2012. Unlike most series finales, Ichigo does not get to become a god or find happiness with his friends. 

In fact, he loses his powers completely when he tries to use them against Aizen after Aizen reveals that he killed Rukia. From there Ichigo is forced to face off against Gin who has been resurrected before being rescued by the Shinigami Squad.

(2) So What Happened in the Last Episode of Bleach?

After defeating all their foes and ruling out several false leads, Atra and Renji began to think that they would never be able to find Ichigo. That is until they happened upon some butterfly drawings on a wall. They followed them to the spot where Ichigo's body was found—but he wasn't there! 

The only thing left at the scene was another drawing of a butterfly with Thank you written underneath it. Atra and Renji were happy to have found him, but soon realized that someone had been playing a cruel trick on them. What do you think happened in the last episode of Bleach? 

How does this make you feel about the end of Bleach? 

Share your thoughts by commenting below or tweeting us @litandproud! I felt like The End of Bleach was just like how an anime should end, full of hope and peace for the future. 

I also appreciated how clear everything seemed after such a long and convoluted journey. Plus knowing that Tite Kubo himself wrote the ending leaves me feeling satisfied and safe as well-he always knew what he wanted for his work (despite any mistakes he may have made along the way).

(3)Where is Character Bleach Now?

By now it is known to most anime fans that this series ended in episode 366. Shunsui Kyouraku and Ukitake Jyuushirou die during their battle with Ulquiorra Cifer and Yammy Llargo respectively. After healing Orihime's arm from her earlier fight with Ulquiorra, Ishida fires a charged arrow into Aizen's one eye before he enters his final form. 

Unwilling to admit defeat, Aizen begins to make a giant black sphere around him as Ichigo Kurosaki breaks through the sphere only to be kicked back by an energy wave emitted by Aizen. The sphere grows larger and larger until finally Grimmjow Jeagerjaques jumps up out of nowhere and launches himself at Ichigo. 

However, he does not make contact as Ichigo catches him by the neck instead. Ichigo then tells Aizen to go to Hell before he throws Grimmjow off the top of Las Noches. As Ichigo falls from the tower, Yoruichi grabs onto him and pulls him up so that they can see everyone below them for a few seconds before they both fall down together. 

Upon landing, Yoruichi says something about how she knew that there would always be someone coming for them and she then faints onto Ichigo's chest. It is revealed that Yoruichi was actually holding on to Ichigo while in her cat form and looks over to find Urahara standing next to them. Urahara asks if she could heal herself but tells her not worry about healing him because he has some more time left. He then takes them home.

(4) Ending on a Good Note Bleach

In the final episode, Ichigo has one final confrontation with Kariya and tells him he is aware of his Hollow power. Then there's one last showdown between Uryu and Gin which ends in a draw before Uryu collapses from exhaustion. But when Ichigo goes to confront Aizen, things take a turn for the worse because Aizen merges with Sousuke at last minute which creates something even more powerful than either individually. 

Aizen mocks them for thinking they had any chance against him, but then Rukia cuts off his left arm just like she did with Gin, leaving only his right arm. That time around though it proves to be too much and Aizen explodes into nothingness. 

All that's left are Orihime, Chad, Ishida and Rangiku who watch as Ichigo slowly walks up to her while wondering if they'll ever meet again. Ichigo asks if she wants a hug, but instead Orihime grabs his face and kisses him while all the other characters look on smiling happily knowing that everything turned out okay in the end.
