Omake (御負け) means extra in Japanese. The term is used to denote extra or bonus content.
Anime Omakes[]
Each Bleach anime episode features a short comedic omake segment, which is like a mini-episode that airs at the end of the episode. They offer extra information about the episode, such as techniques or more character information. They also show other characters in different situations, such as the Shinigami Women's Association. Some omakes are also manga-based.
The Shinigami Illustrated Picture Book is the default omake segment for the anime and often has its own arc that strings together multiple omake segments to tell a large story. Other omake segments tend to be more episodic in format. The anime has featured seven different omake segments.
