About this converter
This page compares Bleach story arc sizes by TV broadcast episode count. It covers the original Bleach run animated by Studio Pierrot and aired on TV Tokyo, plus the Thousand-Year Blood War revival. Episode spans come from TV Tokyo episode listings. Counts use broadcast ranges, so anime-only arcs such as the Bount and Zanpakuto Rebellion sit next to manga arcs. Arrancar Downfall is the largest entry at 51 episodes. The Bount arc at 28 is the longest anime-only run here.
How to use it
Pick two entries and a unit in the top row. The three boxes below stay linked. Change any box and the other two update. Start with Substitute against Soul Society Rescue to compare the opener with the first climax. Then test Zanpakuto Rebellion against Arrancar Downfall, the two longest filler and canon runs.
Some arcs are left out for scope. The New Captain Amagai filler (168-189), the Past flashback arc (206-212), Arrancar vs Shinigami (190-205) and the Gotei 13 Invasion filler (317-342) are not listed. Thousand-Year Blood War Part 4, The Calamity, airs after the Oct 2026 cutoff and is not listed. Soul Society is split into Sneak Entry and Rescue to match broadcast tables. TV Tokyo listings are the source of truth where fan lists differ.
