How this guide is built

Each episode’s chapters come from the “adapted from” field on Bleach Wiki on Fandom (CC BY-SA). AnimeSparks reads those fields through the wiki’s official API and doesn’t copy any of the wiki’s text. Where an episode cites flashback chapters far from what it adapts, the guide uses the chapters the episode mainly covers.

Wikis are written by fans, so a chapter boundary can occasionally be off by one. If you spot a mistake, let us know.
