Bleach closes out its TV anime with a two-day Makuhari Messe event
BLEACH FES., billed as the largest event in the franchise's history, brings fifteen voice actors to the Makuhari Event Hall on 27 and 28 February 2027.
Bleach has one more date to keep. BLEACH FES., billed as the largest event in the franchise's history, takes over the Makuhari Event Hall in Chiba on 27 and 28 February 2027, with doors at 15:00 and the show starting at 16:30 JST on both days.
Fifteen voice actors across two days
Masakazu Morita and Fumiko Orikasa, Ichigo and Rukia, headline both days, joined by Yuki Matsuoka (Orihime), Hiroki Yasumoto (Sado), Noriaki Sugiyama (Uryū), Shin'ichiro Miki (Urahara) and Ryōtarō Okiayu (Byakuya). Day one adds Fumihiko Tachiki (Kenpachi), Shō Hayami (Aizen), Kōji Yusa (Gin), Daisuke Namikawa (Ulquiorra) and Junichi Suwabe (Grimmjow). Day two brings Hiroki Tōchi (Ginjō), Yūichirō Umehara (Jugram) and Yūki Ono (Bazz-B).
Tickets, a lottery and a live dubbing corner
Reserved seats with goods are ¥15,000 and general reserved seats ¥11,000. The fastest advance lottery runs from 19 September at 23:30 JST until 31 October at 23:59 JST, with results on 6 November and payment due by 11 November. Alongside the stage talk there is a live dubbing corner and what the site calls special projects, plus a sticker for Klub Outside Elite members - Klub Outside Global is excluded.
Two caveats worth stating plainly. This is a Japan-only event sold through a domestic lottery, so there is no overseas ticket to buy. And it is not the finale itself: the television anime reaches its conclusion this year, and this is the send-off the production has arranged around it.
Our opinion
A two-day hall, fifteen voice actors and a live dubbing corner is a farewell built for the people who have been in since 2004, and after two decades of television anime - some of it brilliant, some of it filler - the cast have earned the room. Whether it is what most fans wanted is a separate question. Gating the send-off behind a Japanese lottery excludes a large part of the audience that carried Bleach through its resurgence, and a paid stream would have said more about who this finale was actually for.
