Credits ------------------------------ What is Bleach Blade Battlers? ------------------------------ Bleach Blade Battlers is a 4 player fighting game for the Playstation 2. In here players can choose up to 23 characters from the Anime Bleach and engage in battle. The game is currently only in Japanese, so I decided to make a guide to help the players decipher the various things the game has to offer. As time goes on and people get more attuned to the fighting style of the game for competitive play, I will up date this FAQ with character descriptions and stuff like that, as well as clearer translations of what's going on in the game. Also, as I unlock more stuff I'll get to unlocking more things. Update: Finished getting all the items. In the future I'll put up a Character Description and Movelist in the FAQ once I've seen how the characters play competitively. ------------------------------ Fighting System/Controls ------------------------------ Each character, while fighting, has a life bar and a small bar underneath. This small bar is the reiatsu bar and determines if a character can do certain special attacks. The small orange circles beneath the reiatsu bar determine the number of extra lives the character has. Once the life bar of a character is all used up, if he still has an orange circle, this will be converted into a full life bar, and the reiatsu bar will be reset. Normal battles usually grant two of these lives to the characters. ------------------------------ Controls ------------------------------ Left Analog stick - Moves the character around. X - jump. Press x twice to double jump. Square - Normal Attack. Pressing square more than once will unitiate a string of combos. Triangle - Special Attack. Pressing triangle more than once will initiate a string of special attacks (not applicable to all characters.) Triangle+Direction - Pressing triangle plus a direction on the left analog stick will initiate a different special attack. R1+Square - Strong attack. This sometimes breaks guard. If the enemy is attacking you, you will receive no damage for a few frames and still go through with the Strong attack. R1+X - Parry. This Parries the enemy's move and leaves him open to counterattack. You can also parry while guarding, just hold R1 to block and hit x, anticipating the enemy's attack. L1 - Locks on to an enemy. Use this to change between multiple targets. If you hold L1 and press a direction on the left analog stick, your character will run in that direction and break lock on. D-pad - use this to change between multiple targets. R1+L1 - when you have a full bar of reiatsu and have 50% of life left (life bar is flashing red) pressing R1 and R2 will do a power up move. This is usually Bankai/Shikai for the shinigami characters and a power up version for the rest. You will have the ability to shunpo without cost for some. The reiatsu bar will turn red and slowly run out; when it does your character returns to normal. L2 - performs a team attack. In the CPU's case I think it summons the character closer to you. R2 - Damage Cancel. This needs two segments of the Reiatsu bar to perform, however it cancels any attack. If the opponent is near he/she will be blown off by the damage cancel. Right Analog Stick - This enables your character to shunpo, roll or teleport to avoid moves. Some use no reiatsu to perform (Mayuri) and some do (most Shinigami) Circle - cinematic special. This requires an entire bar of reiatsu to hit. It is unblockable but can be parried or damage canceled. If it misses for some reason, one and a half of the three segments of the reiatsu bar will be consumed. Circle+Direction - Enables your character to perform a different, non-cinematic special. It uses one segment of the reiatsu bar to perform. Square+X - Throw. Breaks through guard. ---------- Main Menu ---------- note: not all of these are direct translations, but some are. Story Mode Mission Mode - Normal Mission - "Sword Hunting" Missions Free Battle - Tag Mode - Single Mode Training Urahara's Shop Options Free Battle is basically... a free battle. Tag mode lets you fight 2 vs. 2. Single mode is basically a free for all. You can fight 1 on 1 or a four player battle with every man for himself. Training mode is a mode where you can use your different skills. You can change the training options to change the way you train. More on this later. Urahara's shop - here you can view things you've unlocked, like figurines, movies, pictures and other bleach related stuff. Options lets you change stuff in regarding the game like the difficulty, saving your game and so on. ------------------------------ Characters ------------------------------ there are 23 characters in this game. At the beginning you only have access to five: Kurosaki Ichigo Kuchiki Rukia Inoue Orihime Yasutora Chad Uryuu Ishida you can unlock different characters by getting at least a specific score in the Normal mission mode. This score is the red number at the upper left part of the mission mode screen. The other 18 characters, and the points needed to unlock them, are as follows: ------------------------------------------------------------- Character Least points needed to unlock ------------------------------------------------------------- Abarai Renji 3 points Madarame Ikkaku 6 points Hinamori Momo 9 points Matsumoto Rangiku 12 points Hitsugaya Toushiro 15 points Sajin Komamura 18 points Zaraki Kenpachi 21 points Urahara Kisuke 24 points Shihouin Yoruichi 27 points Soifon 30 points Kurotsuchi Mayuri 35 points Kaname Tousen 40 points Ichimaru Gin 45 points Kuchiki Byakuya 50 points Tsumugiya Ururu 55 points Kurosaki Ichigo (Hollow) 60 points Kon 65 points Aizen Sousuke 70 points ------------------------------- Team Attacks and Compatibility ------------------------------- Team Attacks (Press L2) depend on one character's compatibility with the other. If these characters get along well, they will probably be able to do a team attack. Characters that everyone hates, like Aizen, barely have any compatible characters. Also, the doability of double attacks depend on which character initiates the attack. For example, Ururu cannot initiate an attack with Aizen, but if Aizen initiates the attack instead with Ururu as a partner, there's a possibility that a double attack will be initiated. ------------------------------ In-Battle Items ------------------------------ During battle, certain items pop up from certain destructible items. Rukia's Glove - Attack up? Ward thingy - Defense up? Suitcase with Heart - replenishes the life bar. The amount of life granted depends on the size of the suitcase Soul Candy (violet) - Increases your reiatsu. There are two sizes. Soul Candy (yellow) - Gives you infinite reiatsu for a certain amount of time. Your reiatsu bar will flash violet. Justice Hachimaki - This will prevent you from getting knocked down or stunned during a move, similar to Kenpachi's power up state. It looks like a white piece of armor. Metal Ball - Use normal attacks to knock this around. It can hit the enemy (or you!) for damage. Hit it enough times and it will break. Metal Trap - This will hold your enemy (or you!) in place, rendering that character immobile for a few seconds. Rotate the analog stick to set yourself free. Bomb - When released, this will slowly flash red. After an amount of time it will explode and cause damage over a wide area. You can smack bombs around with normal attacks. Coin - Gives you 100 gold. Chest of Gold - Gives you 1000 gold. ------------------------ Story Mode Walkthrough ------------------------ Story Mode is a 6-episode mode that includes all original stories not related to the manga/anime. Completing missions in story mode will unlock extra stages for your characters to play in. I don't believe playing the mode on Normal/Captain Level will change the outcome or prizes won on Story Mode, so just play it on Normal. ======================================================== Episode 1 - Kisuke no Benkyoubeya (Kisuke's Study Room) ======================================================== --------- Battle 1 --------- Single Match Stage: Karakura High School Player: Kurosaki Ichigo Enemy: 15 Hollows --------- Battle 2 --------- Tag Match Stage: Yoruichi's Training Ground Player: Urahara Kisuke Partner: Inoue Orihime Enemy: Ishida Uryuu + Yasutora Chad --------- Battle 3 --------- Tag Match Stage: Yoruichi's Training Ground Player: Kurosaki Ichigo Partner: Inoue Orihime Enemy: Urahara Kisuke + Tsumugiya Ururu Congratulations!

You've unlocked Soukyoku Execution Area for Free Battle Mode. That's it for the story mode. ------------------------------ Mission Mode ------------------------------ Mission Mode is divided into two parts: Normal Missions are battles that can either be single or two player (with either a friend or the CPU) that entail beating the enemy under certain conditions. Depending on certain things, like the time of completion, the way you finish your opponent and so on, you will be given a rank from D to S, S being the highest. Completing these missions will unlock new characters to play. Sword Hunting Missions are special missions that make you fight a one-one one battle. Completing these missions unlocks the ability of some of your characters to use the specials of others, as well as some special movies. ------------------------------ Normal Mission List ------------------------------ There are 50 playable missions in the game, you will have 5 at first, but as you get higher scores, you will get access to all the missions. Depending on what you do, and the time it took to complete the missions, you will get a letter grade from D to S. S is the highest grade, attainable only by playing at the Captain Level. If you finish the mission a few seconds too late to get an A or an S, try finishing with a cinematic special, which will give you a bonus of +1 point. In normal difficulty: A rank requires a score of 9 or above on a mission B rank requires a score of 6 to 7 on a mission C rank requires a score of 2-5 on a mission D rank requires a score of 0-1 on a mission In Captain Level Difficulty: S rank requires a score of 8 or above on a mission A rank requires a score of 6 to 7 or above on a mission B rank requires a score of 5 and below on a mission I've never gotten C in Captain Level before, so I don't know what happens then. With regards to scores: A rank adds 2 to the red score B rank adds 1 to the red score C rank adds 0 to the red score D rank adds nothing Pausing While doing a mission has the following options: - Return to Game - Retry - Mission Clear Objectives - Movelist - Special Attack Move List - Return to Mission Select - Return to Main Menu Once you've completed all of the missions in Normal Mode (regardless of grade) once you opt to play them again in Normal mode, you will be given a choice. If you answer yes (right option) your character will have INFINITE reiatsu! Very useful for getting A on some missions. The same thing happens when you finish all the missions in Captain Level - definitely a good thing for getting S in some missions. Now on to the missions! Legend: Objective: What you have to do to win. Tag/Single Battle: if the battle is single or two player Player Buffs/Handicap: Handicaps or buffs given to your player Opponent Buffs/Handicap: Same as above. Player Extra Lives: Number of Extra lives for the player Opponent Extra Lives: Number of Extra lives for the opponent Time to Get: you have to clear the mission within this time to get an A or S. This is mainly based on personal observation so the real time may be earlier or later by a bit. Notes: Advice on how to clear the mission note: some mission objectives are not direct translations, but they are basically what you have to do to win. note 2: I'm not sure about the increased attack/defense, but it sure seems that way. ============== Mission 1 ============== Objective: Defeat Chad and Ururu! Tag Battle Player Buffs/Handicap: none Opponent Buffs/Handicap: none Player Extra Lives: 2 Opponent Extra Lives: 1 Stage: Karakura High School Time to Get: 130 Notes: Straightfoward mission. Quite easy since you have a life advantage. Just watch out for Ururu; I suggest taking her down first. ============== Mission 2 ============== Objective: Defeat Ishida Uryuu and Mayuri Kurotsuchi! Tag Battle Player Buffs/Handicap: none Opponent Buffs/Handicap: none Player Extra Lives: 2 Opponent Extra Lives: 2 Stage: Soul Society (Court of Pure Souls) Time to Get: 150 Notes: Still an easy mission. It's like team battle in Free mode. Choose your best team and fight. ============== Mission 3 ============== Objective: Defeat Rangiku and Soifon! Tag Battle Player Buffs/Handicap: none Opponent Buffs/Handicap: none Player Extra Lives: 0 Opponent Extra Lives: 2 Stage: Kurosaki Clinic Time to Get: 170 Notes: At the beginning, when you have few characters, this may be troublesome. Lifewise you are disadvantaged and you may not be able to finish this with an A at first try. Soifon is pretty troublesome since she moves around so much. Try finishing this later with the other characters. ============== Mission 4 ============== Objective: Defeat Hitsugaya and Hinamori! Tag Battle Player Buffs/Handicap: infinite reiatsu Opponent Buffs/Handicap: none Player Extra Lives: 0 Opponent Extra Lives: 3 Stage: Gotei 13 Mansion (Interior) Time to Get: 110 Notes: This may seem hard but it's actually very easy because you have infinite reiatsu. Just get both characters continuously in cinematic specials to KO them quickly. You may want to go Bankai for your character but it takes longer. If you want, use Mayuri or Komamura as a partner and have them go Bankai. ============== Mission 5 ============== Objective: You have 60 seconds to defeat Kon! Single Battle Player Buffs/Handicap: none Opponent Buffs/Handicap: none Player Extra Lives: 0 Opponent Extra Lives: 0 Stage: Forest of Dead Souls Time to Get: around 30 seconds is fine Notes: Don't use Ishida. Hehe. It's wise to use a character with a ground attack or a tracking attack to take care of Kon easily. ============== Mission 6 ============== Objective: Defeat Urahara and Yoruichi! Single Battle Player Buffs/Handicap: Max reiatsu at start Opponent Buffs/Handicap: Max reiatsu at start Player Extra Lives: 2 Opponent Extra Lives: 2 Stage: Yoruichi's Training Area Time to Get: 150-160 Notes: Try getting both characters in a cinematic special at the same time with your Max Reiatsu. However, watch out since they will probably be doing the same to you. ============== Mission 7 ============== Objective: Defeat Kon and Kurotsuchi Mayuri! Tag Battle Player Buffs/Handicap: none Opponent Buffs/Handicap: none Player Extra Lives: 0 Opponent Extra Lives: 2 Stage: Soul Society (Rukongai) Time to Get: 110 Notes: Ignore Mayuri for the moment and concentrate on Kon. Make him use up the enemy's life stock. Afterwards, beat up on Mayuri. ============== Mission 8 ============== Objective: Defeat Ichimaru and Hitsugaya! Single Battle Player Buffs/Handicap: none Opponent Buffs/Handicap: none Player Extra Lives: 1 Opponent Extra Lives: 1 Stage: Forest of Dead Souls Time to Get: 160 Notes: This is pretty straightfoward. Just use your best chara and go for it. Watch out for Hitsugaya's Bankai, so it might be wise to take him out first. ============== Mission 9 ============== Objective: Defeat Zaraki Kenpachi and Madarame Ikkaku! Tag Battle Player Buffs/Handicap: none Opponent Buffs/Handicap: Attack up Player Extra Lives: 2 Opponent Extra Lives: 2 Stage: Gotei 13 Mansion (Interior) Time to Get: 170 Notes: These two might be a little troublesome, but they're manageable. Pick your best team and beat them up. Watch your life as they do more damage. ============== Mission 10 ============== Objective: Defeat 30 hollows! Tag Battle Player Buffs/Handicap: none Opponent Buffs/Handicap: none Player Extra Lives: 0 Opponent Extra Lives: 0 Stage: Forest of Dead Souls Time to Get: 120 Notes: My advice here is to use a character with long, sweeping range, like Renji, Ikkaku or Hollow Ichigo (especially Hollow Ichigo.) After defeating 29 hollows, Hollow Ichigo will show up. Just defeat him as you would normally. ============== Mission 11 ============== Objective: Defeat Yoruichi and Kaname Tousen! Tag Battle Player Buffs/Handicap: jump disabled Opponent Buffs/Handicap: none Player Extra Lives: 0 Opponent Extra Lives: 1 Stage: Ruins Time to Get: around 120-130 Notes: This is another easy mission. Don't worry about Jump being disabled. Just pick your best team. ============== Mission 12 ============== Objective: Defeat Ishida Uryuu and Kurosaki Ichigo! Tag Battle Player Buffs/Handicap: none Opponent Buffs/Handicap: none Player Extra Lives: 1 Opponent Extra Lives: 2 Stage: Karakura High School Time to Get: 170 Notes: Take care of Ishida first and Ichigo will then be a cakewalk. ============== Mission 13 ============== Objective: Defeat Kon! Single Battle Player Buffs/Handicap: none Opponent Buffs/Handicap: Kon has increased defense Player Extra Lives: 0 Opponent Extra Lives: 0 Stage: Kurosaki Clinic Time to Get: 110 Notes: Another defeat Kon stage. Use your best anti-Kon character and lay on him. ============== Mission 14 ============== Objective: Defeat Chad and Madarame! Tag Battle Player Buffs/Handicap: none Opponent Buffs/Handicap: none Player Extra Lives: 2 Opponent Extra Lives: 2 Stage: Forest of Dead Souls Time to Get: 120 Notes: Straightforward mission. Just pick your best team. ============== Mission 15 ============== Objective: Survival: fight three Tag Matches in a row! Tag/Single Battle Player Buffs/Handicap: none Opponent Buffs/Handicap: none Player Extra Lives: 2 Opponent Extra Lives: 0 Stages: Yoruichi's Training Area, Rukongai, Court of Pure Souls Time to Get: Around 250 Notes: You will be fighting enemies in this order: Hinamori Momo + Matsumoto Rangiku Kaname Tousen + Shinigami Kuchiki Rukia + Abarai Renji Just pick your best team and go for it. They're quite easy for now. ============== Mission 16 ============== Objective: Defeat Kuchiki Rukia and Inoue Orihime! Tag Battle Player Buffs/Handicap: none Opponent Buffs/Handicap: none Player Extra Lives: 1 Opponent Extra Lives: 2 Stage: Karakura High School Time to Get: 150 is fine, but you can go to 160 Notes: Rukia will pin you down while Orihime attacks you, so I recommend taking out Rukia first. The rest is easy. ============== Mission 17 ============== Objective: Defeat Sajin Komamura and Mayuri Kurotsuchi! The last remaining opponent must be defeated with a Cinematic Special! Single Battle Player Buffs/Handicap: none Opponent Buffs/Handicap: none Player Extra Lives: 1 Opponent Extra Lives: 0 Stage: Rukongai Time to Get: 100 Notes: Watch out for the Pigs. Seriously. The pigs may kill your enemies before you can, making you FAIL the mission. Bonny in particular tracks characters down before running them over, so be careful. Defeat one of the opponents (I suggest Mayuri but it's up to you) normally then defeat the other one by pressing circle when their life is around 20% or less. ============== Mission 18 ============== Objective: Defeat Ichimaru Gin and Matsumoto Rangiku! Tag Battle Player Buffs/Handicap: none Opponent Buffs/Handicap: I'm not sure, but their reiatsu bar seems to fill up quicker. Player Extra Lives: 2 Opponent Extra Lives: 2 Stage: Yoruichi's Training area Time to Get: 170 Notes: Take care of Rangiku first as she can combo with Gin well. Otherwise this is a pretty straightforward battle. ============== Mission 19 ============== Objective: Defeat Kuchiki Byakuya, Zaraki Kenpachi and Kisuke Urahara in a free for all! Single Battle Player Buffs/Handicap: none Opponent Buffs/Handicap: none Player Extra Lives: 1 Opponent Extra Lives: 1 each Stage: Kurosaki Clinic Time to Get: 250 Notes: This is a 4 player free for all, basically you have three opponents. The good news is not all three of them will be going at you; usually just one of them chases you (usually Kenpachi) while the other two fight each other. So take care of whoever is chasing you first, then intervene with the other two and hit them as they're attacking each other. ============== Mission 20 ============== Objective: In 180 seconds, defeat 50 hollows! Tag Battle Player Buffs/Handicap: none Opponent Buffs/Handicap: none Player Extra Lives: 0 Opponent Extra Lives: 0 Stage: Ruins Time to Get: for best results finish at around 90 seconds Notes: Like before, use either Renji or Hollow Ichigo (the latter is recommended.) Once you've defeated 50 hollows you've won the mission. Watch out for the sword thingy that pops up in the middle of the screen at some times. ============== Mission 21 ============== Objective: Defeat 4 Powered up Shinigami! Tag Battle Player Buffs/Handicap: none Opponent Buffs/Handicap: attack up, defense way up Player Extra Lives: 0 Opponent Extra Lives: 0 Stage: Gotei 13 Mansion (Interior) Time to Get: 110 Notes: You will be fighting 4 Shinigami who can take a lot of damage. Unfortunately for them, that's all they really have going for them. Use your best team and try to get more than one at a time to finish the mission fast. ============== Mission 22 ============== Objective: Defeat opponents in this Order: Hollow Ichigo --> Kurosaki Ichigo Single Battle Player Buffs/Handicap: none Opponent Buffs/Handicap: none Player Extra Lives: 1 Opponent Extra Lives: 0 Stage: Karakura High School Time to Get: 150 Notes: In Captain Level, this mission is quite challenging. Both Ichi and Hichi are aggressive and will attack you relentlessly. Try focusing on one at a time. Exploit Hollow Ichigo's slow speed and attack from up close so he can't attack you. At the same time, keep Ichigo at a distance so he can't interrupt you. ============== Mission 23 ============== Objective: Defeat Kisuke Urahara and Tsumugiya Ururu! Tag Battle Player Buffs/Handicap: guard disabled Opponent Buffs/Handicap: none Player Extra Lives: 2 Opponent Extra Lives: 2 Stage: Forest of Dead Souls Time to Get: 160 Notes: The lack of guard doesn't matter if you're going all out at them. Just stay aggressive and don't let them get an attack off. ============== Mission 24 ============== Objective: Defeat Soifon and Uryuu Ishida! Single Battle Player Buffs/Handicap: one hit will kill your character Opponent Buffs/Handicap: one hit will kill your opponent Player Extra Lives: 0 Opponent Extra Lives: 0 Stage: Ruins Time to Get: 7 Notes: This is a tricky mission. One hit kills you, and one hit kills them. My Advice: I used Aizen and did triangle, triangle. First hit killed Soifon, second hit killed Ishida. I won the Mission in less than a second (literally, the timer was still at 0 when I won) ============== Mission 25 ============== Objective: Survive for 120 seconds! Single Battle Player Buffs/Handicap: none Opponent Buffs/Handicap: infinite life Player Extra Lives: 0 Opponent Extra Lives: 0 Stage: Soukyoku Execution Area Time to Get: 120 Notes: First things first, you CANNOT damage your opponents in any way. You only have to avoid their attacks and survive by Timeout. You will be pitted against Rukia (who can bind you) Renji (who can get you with Higa Zekkou) and Hinamori (who can pelt you with Tobiume.) Firstly, keep on jumping and moving! This will avoid Rukia's attacks. Secondly, block when you see Higa Zekkou since this will cause you damage. Thirdly, use the ledge below the execution area. It will keep you safe for a few seconds. Try running around the area to avoid them. Watch out for a Ring out, as every few seconds the wind will grow strong and might throw you off the stage, causing you damage. Gin's air Shunpo (jump + triangle) proved very useful. ============== Mission 26 ============== Objective: Defeat Soifon and Kurosaki Ichigo! The last person standing must be defeated by ring out! Tag Battle Player Buffs/Handicap: none Opponent Buffs/Handicap: none Player Extra Lives: 0 Opponent Extra Lives: 0 Stage: Court of Pure Souls Time to Get: 100 Notes: Use a character like Ikkaku, Aizen or Hollow Ichigo that can ring out the last character easily. Just push them off the ledge with your attacks. ============== Mission 27 ============== Objective: Defeat Kon and Chad! Tag Battle Player Buffs/Handicap: none Opponent Buffs/Handicap: Attack Up Player Extra Lives: 0 Opponent Extra Lives: 2 Stage: Karakura High School Time to Get: 150 Notes: Again, concentrate on Kon first and use him to exhaust the enemy's extra life stock. Then go after Chad. ============== Mission 28 ============== Objective: Defeat Sajin Komamura! Tag Battle Player Buffs/Handicap: none Opponent Buffs/Handicap: Defense down, life slowly regenerates Player Extra Lives: 0 Opponent Extra Lives: 0 Stage: Kurosaki Clinic Time to Get: 80 Notes: This is tricky since Komamura regenerates life very fast. Do very high damage attacks and try to do cinematic specials/put the enemy in a combo. Komamura's not that fast so you can get him in an attack easy. ============== Mission 29 ============== Objective: Defeat Sousuke Aizen and Momo Hinamori! Tag Battle Player Buffs/Handicap: none Opponent Buffs/Handicap: none Player Extra Lives: 1 Opponent Extra Lives: 2 Stage: Yoruichi's Training Area Time to Get: 160 Notes: Aizen will be quite troublesome and Hinamori will support well, but this battle is pretty easy. Choose your best team and go after Hinamori first. ============== Mission 30 ============== Objective: Defeat 100 Shinigami! Single Battle Player Buffs/Handicap: none Opponent Buffs/Handicap: none Player Extra Lives: 4 Opponent Extra Lives: 0 Stage: Gotei 13 Mansion (Interior) Time to Get: About 500-510 Notes: This is a fun mission. I recommend Hollow Ichigo as he can kill multiple targets fast. At the beginning there should be no trouble until Shinigami with Kido abilities show up. At first, they can cast Byakurai (Projectile) which can be easily avoided (and Hollow Ichigo's attacks disintegrate these projectiles so it's easier.) Later on, Shinigami who can cast a fire based attack will appear, not much of a problem. Finally, at around 80 killed, Shinigami who can use Byakurai (beam) will appear, mixing with all the others. Be wary of them and take them out first. ============== Mission 31 ============== Objective: Defeat Momo Hinamori! Single Battle Player Buffs/Handicap: none Opponent Buffs/Handicap: none Player Extra Lives: 0 Opponent Extra Lives: 3 Stage: Ruins Time to Get: 210 Notes: You are severely disadvantaged lifewise, but if you know Hinamori's attack pattern this will be easy. She will spam Tobiume quite a lot so watch out for those projectiles. Use an anti-projectile user like Urahara. ============== Mission 32 ============== Objective: Defeat Abarai Renji and Ikkaku Madarame while avoiding the pigs! Tag Battle Player Buffs/Handicap: none Opponent Buffs/Handicap: cannot be thrown back Player Extra Lives: 2 Opponent Extra Lives: 2 Stage: Rukongai Time to Get: 110 Notes: WATCH OUT FOR THE PIGS. There are tons of them (reaching around 6 at one time.) Keep jumping! Usually your enemies will be killed by the pigs and not by you. ============== Mission 33 ============== Objective: Defeat Soifon and Yoruichi! Tag Battle Player Buffs/Handicap: Shunpo disabled Opponent Buffs/Handicap: none Player Extra Lives: 1 Opponent Extra Lives: 2 Stage: Forest of Dead Souls Time to Get: around 200? Notes: Straightforward battle. Just anticipate their shunpos and attack. ============== Mission 34 ============== Objective: Defeat Kuchiki Byakuya with a Cinematic Special! Single Battle Player Buffs/Handicap: none Opponent Buffs/Handicap: Infinite Reiatsu Player Extra Lives: 0 Opponent Extra Lives: 0 Stage: Gotei 13 Mansion (Interior) Time to Get: 110 Notes: This battle will be hard. Byakuya will constantly try to get you into a cinematic special, he will be shunpoing all over the place and he will always have the ability to damage cancel. Once his life gets down to half he will always go into Bankai. BUT! if you parry him you get a free combo. Don't go around chasing him, let him come to you. Once his health goes down to around 10 percent, hit him with the special. There is also an easier way to defeat him, use Hollow Ichigo. His tracking attacks will hit Byakuya as he comes out of shunpo and will defeat him quite easily. ============== Mission 35 ============== Objective: Survival: fight six Tag Matches in a row! Tag Battle Player Buffs/Handicap: none Opponent Buffs/Handicap: none Player Extra Lives: 3 Opponent Extra Lives: 0 Stages: Court of Pure Souls/Yoruichi's Training Ground/Rukongai/Forest of Dead Souls/Ruins/Soukyoku Execution Area Time to Get: 500 Notes: Just pick your best team and go for it. Conserve your lives until the last 2 battles or so. ============== Mission 36 ============== Objective: Defeat Tsumugiya Ururu! Single Battle Player Buffs/Handicap: health slowly drains Opponent Buffs/Handicap: none Player Extra Lives: 2 Opponent Extra Lives: 2 Stage: Kurosaki Clinic Time to Get: 170 Notes: Try to keep your life ahead of Ururu's at all times to prevent you from dying before she does. ============== Mission 37 ============== Objective: Defeat Kaname Tousen and Sajin Komamura! Tag Battle Player Buffs/Handicap: none Opponent Buffs/Handicap: Infinite Reiatsu Player Extra Lives: 2 Opponent Extra Lives: 2 Stage: Rukongai Time to Get: 170 Notes: As much as possible, DO NOT LET KOMAMURA ACHIEVE BANKAI! He will be in Bankai permanently until he is killed if he does so. Concentrate on Tousen first and let him drain the life stock. ============== Mission 38 ============== Objective: Defeat Zaraki Kenpachi! Tag Battle Player Buffs/Handicap: none Opponent Buffs/Handicap: Attack up, life regenerates slowly, cannot be knocked back Player Extra Lives: 0 Opponent Extra Lives: 0 Stage: Gotei 13 Mansion (Interior) Time to Get: 65 Notes: This is quite easy. Just pick your two best characters and attack aggressively. Kenpachi may gain life but not as fast as in the other mission. I finished Kenpachi in 24 seconds. ============== Mission 39 ============== Objective: Defeat Kuchiki Byakuya and Abarai Renji! Tag Battle Player Buffs/Handicap: none Opponent Buffs/Handicap: none Player Extra Lives: 2 Opponent Extra Lives: 2 Stage: Soukyoku Execution Area Time to Get: 150 Notes: I think this is the mission where the wind that blows every so often gets INSANELY STRONG. Try not to get ringed out as much as you can. Don't jump too much as you may get caught by the wind. ============== Mission 40 ============== Objective: Defeat Yasutora Chad, Ishida Uryuu and Inoue Orihime! Single Battle Player Buffs/Handicap: none Opponent Buffs/Handicap: none Player Extra Lives: 2 Opponent Extra Lives: 0 Stage: Karakura High School Time to Get: 170 Notes: This is one of the two hardest missions (IMO) in the game. You will have three opponents, make one mistake and you can be comboed to death (specially in Captain Mode.) Chad will continually be using his Charged Triangle to break your guard, Orihime will be sniping you from afar and will always try to get you in a cinematic super (this happens quite often) and Ishida will be a pain in the butt with his arrows. So, what to do? I suggest going after Ishida first as he dies easily - this is easier said than done. Keep the other two as far from you and Ishida as possible and isolate him so that the other two will not interfere. DO NOT GET CORNERED TO A WALL! You will certainly lose your life. Once the two of them are left try getting Chad first; attacking Orihime now is too troublesome, and if Chad gets you in a combo, Orihime may heal herself, nullifying your efforts. Good luck. ============== Mission 41 ============== Objective: Defeat Aizen Sousuke! Single Battle Player Buffs/Handicap: none Opponent Buffs/Handicap: Health slowly regenerates, Reiatsu fills up faster Player Extra Lives: 1 Opponent Extra Lives: 1 Stage: Court of Pure Souls Time to Get: 170 Notes: At first it seems like you are not hitting Aizen at all. He recovers life very fast, so attack often and attack big. Don't let him activate Bankai or he will regain almost half of his life until you hit him again. ============== Mission 42 ============== Objective: Defeat Kisuke Urahara and Kurotsuchi Mayuri! Tag Battle Player Buffs/Handicap: none Opponent Buffs/Handicap: Infinite Reiatsu Player Extra Lives: 2 Opponent Extra Lives: 2 Stage: Yoruichi's Training Area Time to Get: 170 Notes: As much as possible, DO NOT LET MAYURI ACHIEVE BANKAI! He will stay in Bankai until he is killed. Concentrate on Urahara first, exhaust the enemy's life stock, then kill Mayuri. ============== Mission 43 ============== Objective: Defeat Kurosaki Ichigo with a cinematic special! Single Battle Player Buffs/Handicap: Reiatsu Max at start, Reiatsu does not fill up after it is used up Opponent Buffs/Handicap: none Player Extra Lives: 0 Opponent Extra Lives: 1 Stage: Kurosaki Clinic Time to Get: around 150 Notes: Barring Items (which are not reliable) you cannot use any moves that use Reiatsu or you will be unable to do the cinematic special later on. This includes your Circle, Circle + Direction, Shunpos (for Shinigami Characters except Mayuri and Rukia) and transformations. Just attack normally then use the cinematic special when the opponent's life is low. If you miss, just retry the mission over. ============== Mission 44 ============== Objective: Defeat Hitsugaya Toushiro and Matsumoto Rangiku! Tag Battle Player Buffs/Handicap: Guard disabled Opponent Buffs/Handicap: none Player Extra Lives: 1 Opponent Extra Lives: 2 Stage: Court of Pure Souls Time to Get: 170 Notes: Pretty Straightforward. If they don't get to attack, you don't have to guard, won't you? ============== Mission 45 ============== Objective: Defeat 80 Hollows in 300 seconds! Tag Battle Player Buffs/Handicap: none Opponent Buffs/Handicap: none Player Extra Lives: 1 Opponent Extra Lives: 0 Stage: Forest of Dead Souls Time to Get: 210 Notes: Not too hard. Just use Hollow Ichigo and Renji. At the last batch of hollows, Hollow Ichigo appears. Team up on him and defeat him fast. ============== Mission 46 ============== Objective: Defeat Kuchiki Byakuya and Kuchiki Rukia! Tag Battle Player Buffs/Handicap: Jump Disabled Opponent Buffs/Handicap: none Player Extra Lives: 2 Opponent Extra Lives: 2 Stage: Soukyoku Execution Area Time to Get: 150 Notes: Straightforward. Watch out for Rukia's traps, take her out first. Then concentrate on Byakuya. ============== Mission 47 ============== Objective: Defeat the enemies in this specific order: Kaname Tousen --> Ichimaru Gin --> Aizen Sousuke! Single Battle Player Buffs/Handicap: none Opponent Buffs/Handicap: none Player Extra Lives: 3 Opponent Extra Lives: 0 Stage: Ruins Time to Get: 230 Notes: Welcome to the other hardest mission of the game (IMO.) Make one mistake and you will be totally screwed. I've experienced being juggled in three consecutive 15+ hit combos with one mistake. At least here you have one more life to spend and a higher time limit. The catch is you have a specific order with which to beat these guys. Tousen will spam his triangle, Gin will stay from afar and hit you with Shinsou, and Aizen will use his triangle to interfere and Kurohitsugi/Raikou while you are in the air. Attack Tousen while he is doing his triangle. Exploit his vulnerable times during attack. Once he's down (easier said than done, believe me) the remaining two are much more manageable. Attack Gin as he's using his triangle - he will go down easily as long as you keep Aizen away from you. Finally, defeat Aizen by attacking him by exploiting his unsafe triangle, triangle attacks. Block, then combo. Good luck. ============== Mission 48 ============== Objective: Defeat Kon and Hollow Ichigo! Tag Battle Player Buffs/Handicap: Guard Disabled, Jump Disabled Opponent Buffs/Handicap: Attack up, Life drains slowly, Reiatsu fills up faster Player Extra Lives: 0 Opponent Extra Lives: 4 Stage: Karakura High School Time to Get: 120 Notes: Focus on Kon first and use up the enemy's life stock. Once he's gone, take care of Ichigo. ============== Mission 49 ============== Objective: Defeat all 23 characters! Single Battle Player Buffs/Handicap: none Opponent Buffs/Handicap: none Player Extra Lives: 4 Opponent Extra Lives: 0 Stages: Yoruichi's Training Area/Gotei 13 Mansion/Court of Pure Souls/Rukongai/ Forest of Dead Souls/Kurosaki Clinic/Soukyoku Execution Area/Ruins Time to Get: around 1400-1450 Notes: You will be fighting these characters in batches of 2 or 3; after every batch you will be healed of a small amount of life. You will be fighting them in this order: Orihime + Hinamori Ishida + Ikkaku + Hollow Ichigo Urahara + Yoruichi + Ururu Chad + Renji + Rangiku Rukia + Tousen + Kon Soifon + Komamura + Mayuri Byakuya + Hitsugaya + Gin Ichigo + Kenpachi + Aizen Within a batch, you may fight characters in a different order. For example, the first time I played, I got Kenpachi first, then Aizen, then Ichigo. On the second try I fought Aizen first, then Ichigo, then Kenpachi. Try conserving your stock, with at least 2-3 extra lives at the halfway point. Good luck... ============== Mission 50 ============== Objective: Survival: fight nine Tag Matches in a row! Tag Battle Player Buffs/Handicap: none Opponent Buffs/Handicap: none Player Extra Lives: 4 Opponent Extra Lives: 0 Stages: Karakura High School/Yoruichi's Training Area/Court of Pure Souls/ Forest of Dead Souls/Kurosaki Clinic/Rukongai/Sokyoku Execution Area/Ruins/ Gotei 13 Mansion Time to Get: 750-780 Notes: You will be fighting teams of enemies in this order: Matsumoto + Hinamori Ikkaku + Gin Yoruichi + Rukia Soifon + Ururu Komamura + Hitsugaya Tousen + Mayuri Kenpachi + Renji Ichigo + Chad Byakuya + Aizen Try conserving your stock, with at least 2-3 extra lives at the halfway point. Good luck... ------------------------------ Sword Hunting Missions ------------------------------ Sword Hunting Missions are special missions where you fight in a one on one battle. To win, you MUST beat that character with your cinematic special (circle). Kill your opponent without doing so, or getting killed yourself means game over. Missions are available only if the characters involved have already been unlocked. For example, you can only do the mission with Ishida vs. Kurotsuchi ONLY if Kurotsuchi has been unlocked. Winning a mission unlocks a myriad of special features. One notable feature involves you being able to use the cinematic special of the character you just defeated. To do so, once the sword hunting mission is completed, in the character select screen select your character by using Triangle. A green sword icon will appear next to your character's picture. The following is a list of all sword hunting missions: Ichigo vs. Byakuya Rukia vs. Byakuya Inoue vs. Chad Chad vs. Inoue Ishida vs. Kurotsuchi Mayuri Yoruichi vs. Soifon Urahara vs. Yoruichi Ururu vs. Urahara Byakuya vs. Ichigo Renji vs. Rukia Hitsugaya vs. Hinamori Momo Matsumoto Rangiku vs. Madarame Ikkaku Hinamori Momo vs. Hitsugaya Zaraki Kenpachi vs. Kaname Tousen Madarame Ikkaku vs. Zaraki Kenpachi Soifon vs. Yoruichi Kurotsuchi Mayuri vs. Ishida Sajin Komamura vs. Kaname Tousen Kaname Tousen vs. Sajin Komamura Ichimaru Gin vs. Renji Aizen Sousuke vs. Ichimaru Gin Hollow Ichigo vs. Ichigo Kon vs. Ichigo ------------------------------ Customizing Battles ------------------------------ Before you begin the battle, at the stage select screen, pressing Triangle will bring up an option to customize the conditions of the battle. - Controls the Time (180 seconds - 360 - 540 - infinite) - Controls the item drop rate (low - medium - high) - Controls the stock of life for team A - Controls the stock of life for team B - Controls the stock of life for team C (if applicable) - Controls the stock of life for team D (if applicable) ------------------------------ Training Mode ------------------------------ Training mode lets you play with a training dummy. Pressing start opens a menu: - First option returns to the Game - This determines what the training dummy does. Pressing left or right on the d-pad changes this setting. (Nothing (default) - Jump - simple combo - guard - throw - CPU control - 2P control) - Controls the Life Bar for 1P (Full Life Bar - Red Life Bar 50%) - Controls the Life Bar for 2P (Full Life Bar - Red Life Bar 50%) - Controls the Reiatsu Bar for 1P (Normal - Infinite) - Controls the Reiatsu Bar for 2P (Normal - Infinite) - Movelist - Special Attack Movelist - Return to Character Select - Return to Main Menu If you set reiatsu to infinite, then return to the game, then go back to the options menu and set it to normal again, you will have a full, exhaustible bar of reiatsu to use. ------------------------------ Option Menu ------------------------------ - Operator (the person who is speaking in the main menu, more are unlockable as you unlock more characters) - Difficulty Level (Easy Level (default) - Captain Level) - Something about the controller... left is yes, right is no - Sound (Stereo - Monoaural) - Save - Load - Autosave (Yes - No) - Restore Defaults - Exit Easy Level is easy. Combos are easy and the opponent puts up a decent fight, but is not too hard. Captain level is harder; basic attacks almost always get parried and the opponent puts constant pressure. ------------------------------ Stages ------------------------------ Stages are unlocked as you go through Story Mode. Once you've finished all 6 episodes you've unlocked all the stages. The Stages are: ======================================================================= Stage Condition to Unlock ======================================================================= Kurosaki Clinic Unlocked from Start Karakura High School Unlocked from Start Soul Society (Rukongai) Finish Story Mode Ep. 2 Gotei 13 Mansion (interior) Finish Story Mode Ep. 3 Soul Society (Court of Pure Souls) Unlocked from Start Yoruichi's Training Area Finish Story Mode Ep. 1 Forest of Dead Souls Finish Story Mode Ep. 4 Soukyoku Execution Area Finish Story Mode Ep. 6 Ruins Finish Story Mode Ep. 5 Random ------------------------------ Urahara's Shop ------------------------------ Once you go into Urahara's shop, you will have the following options: Buy Items View Items - Voice Figure (if you select a figure) -- pressing Square will give you voice sample A -- pressing Triangle, voice B -- pressing circle, voice C -- extra controls, right analog rotates (left and right) and zooms in/out (up/down) - Event Image - Secret Movie - Secret Figure View Player Data - Play Time - Times completed - Story mode completion % - Mission completion % - Item completion % - Money Acquired (total) Exit ------------------------------ Item List ------------------------------ Once unlocked, you can buy items at the store.

You can view them at Urahara's shop, second option, then first option. You can buy action figures at the item shop (first option.) Their icons at the shop look are colored orange, with a thing on top of a box. At first, the voice figures of the original five characters are available for purchase.

Initially, the first five characters are available at the options menu. Once you unlock more characters, you will be able to buy their corresponding operators at Urahara's item shop.
