After completed Thousand-Year Blood War cour 3, resume around manga chapter 661 in volume 73, with overlap at the transition. Cour 4 is still airing and is excluded from this checkpoint. If you watched only the original 366-episode series, start chapter 480 instead; the TYBW anime also expands and rearranges manga events.
