Shinji Hirako, a charismatic and unconventional leader in the Bleach universe, stands out for his strategic prowess and unique combat style. Initially a captain who defied the Soul Society, he later assumed command of a squad specializing in strategic operations and battlefield tactics. Beyond his captaincy, Hirako wields a Shikai with the remarkable ability to manipulate opponents' minds.
The Bleach: Rebirth of Souls trailer showcases Hirako's mastery of this power, using it to sow chaos and erode opponents' confidence. His unpredictable shifts between offense and defense make him a compelling character for players who appreciate strategic depth in combat.
Gameplay is a 1v1 3D fighter, emphasizing dynamic back-and-forth movement reminiscent of 2D fighting games, but with added freedom of movement in three dimensions.
Consistent with the source material, battles fluidly transition between ground combat and aerial engagements. Characters can utilize Reishi to levitate, resulting in frequent shifts in the battle plane's orientation between combatants.
