The 3D anime fighting game Bleach: Heat the Soul rushes into the second stage loaded with new elements, such as new characters and new play modes. In addition to the characters, which appeared in the previous work (Ichigo Kurasaki, Sado Yasutora, Orihime Inoue, Ishida Uryu, Rukia Kuchiki, and Renji Abarai), five popular characters including the captains Ichimaru Gin, Byakuya Kuchiki, Hitsugaya, and Matsumoto have been added. The game further adopts the original voice actors from the anime and graphics from the original author Kubo Tite.
