It's a magical place where anything you imagine can come true, provided enough people care about it and decide it's worth their time to create. Thankfully, Bleach: Heat the Soul 5 is the result of people caring in such a manner. The lovely people at 8ing and SCEI have given us another great Bleach game. As a loyal fan of the series, I felt it was my duty to create this guide to aid those who wish to play it and unlock everything, but have no knowledge of the Japanese language. While I myself am not fluent, I am able to understand 70-80% of what I read. Because of that remaining 20-30%, I do not claim that this guide is 100% accurate or that the translated sections are literal translations. They are simply what I could, to the best of my ability, figure out. I hope you all enjoy this game as I do, and that this guide is of great use to you! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Controls [CT] -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- These are the default controls. D-Pad ------------------ Move Thumb-Pad -------------- Move (Same as D-Pad) X --------------------- Weak Attack Circle ----------------- Strong Attack Square ----------------- Reiatsu (Hold to charge) Triangle --------------- Jump L ---------------------- Switch (in Tag Mode) / Transform (in Single Mode) R ---------------------- Striker Attack (in Tag Mode) Start ------------------ Pause Select ----------------- Not Used -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Advanced Controls [AC] -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This is based on the default control scheme.

Press L and R simultaneously. Team Soul Blaze ------------------- This is the same as a normal Soul Blaze, but both characters will attack. Activated the same way as a normal Soul Blaze. W-Finisher ------------------------ Once you've activated the Team Powerup, use a finisher as you normally would. Some character combinations have a unique attack that cannot be used otherwise. ----- Tag Type Specific Moves ----- Defensive-type Tag Special: Guard Cancel ---- Block an attack. While the shield is up in front of you, press L. Offensive-type Tag Special: Tag Combo ------- Begin a combo with one character, then press L mid-combo. You'll attack and switch out at the same time. Continue the combo with your partner. Technical-type Tag Special: Forced Switch --- Press Square and L at the same time. If the resulting attack connects, your opponent will be forced to switch places with his partner. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Recommended Controls [RC] -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I've tried a number of different control schemes and found that this felt the most natural and simple to use. Weak Attack -------- Square Strong Attack ------ Triangle Reiatsu ------------ Circle Jump --------------- X Transform/Switch --- L Striker Attack ----- R These are listed top to bottom in the order they appear in the Key Config screen, if you choose to try/use this configuration. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Menu Controls [MC] -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Main Menu Controls: D-Pad --------------------- Move Circle -------------------- Accept X ------------------------- Cancel Square -------------------- Go back to main menu Character Select Menu Controls: D-Pad --------------------- Move Circle -------------------- Accept X ------------------------- Cancel Square -------------------- Change Costume R / L --------------------- Change Character Page (Single Battle Mode only) Select -------------------- Character Information Stage Select Menu Controls: D-Pad --------------------- Move Circle -------------------- Accept X ------------------------- Cancel Square -------------------- Toggle Stage Effect On/Off -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tutorial 1st [T1] -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- No.1: Player: Kurosaki Ichigo (Shikai) Opponent: Madarame Ikkaku (Shikai) Condition: Dodge an attack. Tip: Pretty simple. Just stand right in front of Ikkaku and mash either up or down until he attacks. No.2: Player: Kurosaki Ichigo (Shikai) Opponent: Abarai Renji (Shikai) Condition: Defend yourself for 20s. Tip: Be careful, your guard CAN break and Renji WILL take advantage of this. No.3: Player: Kurosaki Ichigo (Shikai) Opponent: Zaraki Kenpachi Condition: Land 5 individual hits. Tip: Just hit him with a strong attack, wait for him to recover, and repeat. No.4: Player: Kurosaki Ichigo (Shikai) Opponent: Kurosaki Ichigo (Inner Hollow Shikai) Condition: Air-dash over your opponent. Tip: He moves alot. Stay right next to him and do it when he stops. No.5: Player: Kurosaki Ichigo (Shikai) Opponent: Zaraki Kenpachi Condition: Land a 5-hit combo. Tip: Light attack x3, strong attack x2. No.6: Player: Hitsugaya Toushiro (Shikai) Opponent: Ichimaru Gin Condition: Perform 3 reiatsu knock-backs. Tip: Don't bother charging it, just get close and tap the charge button, wait for him to catch his balance, and repeat. No.7: Player: Abarai Renji (Shikai) Opponent: Kuchiki Byakuya (Shikai) Condition: Invoke bankai. Tip: Attack your opponent or just charge your reiatsu until you have 2 bars, then press the L button. That's all. No.8: Player: Shihouin Yoruichi Opponent: Soi Fon Condition: Hit the opponent with Soul Blaze 3 times. Tip: Soul Blaze is preformed by pressing the reiatsu button and then the jump button in quick succession. Once this hits the opponent, put in whatever combination of directions and light / strong attacks you like to create the combo you'll use while in the Soul Blaze attack. No.9: Player: Kurosaki Ichigo (Shikai) Opponent: Kuchiki Byakuya (Shikai) Condition: Hit the opponent with 3 finishers. Tip: This is especially easy since you're using Ichigo. To use this, press reiatsu then light attack in quick succession. Note that in order to use a finisher, you need at least 1 bar of reiatsu. Just hit Byakuya with the resulting Getsuga Tenshou 3 times to win. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tutorial 2nd [T2] -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- No.1: Player: Kurosaki Ichigo (Bankai) Partner: Kuchiki Rukia (Shikai) Opponent 1: Kuchiki Byakuya (Bankai) Opponent 2: None Condition: Tag out 3 times Tip: Just let the meter fill, the hit L. Do this 3 times. No.2: Player: Kurosaki Ichigo (Bankai) Partner: Abarai Renji (Shikai) Opponent 1: Aizen Sousuke Opponent 2: None Condition: Use the Striker Attack 3 times. Tip: Let the tag meter fill up, and press R. Do this 3 times. Note that the Striker Attack MUST connect to count. No.3: Player: Kurosaki Ichigo (Shikai) Partner: Kuchiki Rukia (Gigai) Opponent 1: Hirako Shinji Opponent 2: None Condition: Use a quick change 3 times. Tip: Press L + Jump three times. No.4: Player: Inoue Orihime Partner: Sado Yasutora Opponent 1: Yammy Opponent 2: None Condition: Use a Tag Combo 3 times. Tip: To do this, begin a combo with one character, then press L. That character will attack and then tag out, bringing in the second character, who you then continue the combo with. This only works when using an Offensive-Type Tag. No.5: Player: Kurosaki Ichigo (Bankai) Partner: Inoue Orihime Opponent 1: Yammy Opponent 2: None Condition: Use Guard Cancel 3 times. Tip: To use Guard Cancel, block an attack, then while the "shield" is displayed in front of you, press L. This only works when using a Defensive-Type Tag. No.6: Player: Shihouin Yoruichi Partner: Inoue Orihime Opponent 1: Yammy Opponent 2: Ulquiorra Schiffer Condition: Use Forced Switch 3 times. Tip: Press L + Reiatsu. If the attack connects, you'll force your opponent to switch out with his partner. Very helpful if you plan to focus on killing one opponent in specific. This only works when using a Technical-Type Tag. No.7: Player: Kuchiki Rukia (Shikai) Partner: Kurosaki Ichigo (Shikai) Opponent 1: Grimmjow Jeagerjaques Opponent 2: None Condition: Use Team Boost. Tip: For this fight you'll be using Offensive-Type Tag. Land lots of combos until the gauge is full and the circle on the left side is glowing. Soul Blaze is a good way to do this. When the circle on the left side of the gauge is flashing, press L + R. No.8: Player: Kurosaki Ichigo (Shikai) Partner: Kuchiki Rukia (Shikai) Opponent 1: Grimmjow Jeagerjaques Opponent 2: None Condition: Use W-Soul Blaze Tip: The gauge is already filled for you. Just use Soul Blaze and enter a good long combo. If you forgot how to do Soul Blaze, it's Reiatsu + Jump. No.9: Player: Kurosaki Ichigo (Bankai) Partner: Kuchiki Rukia (Shikai) Opponent 1: Grimmjow Jeagerjaques Opponent 2: None Condition: Use a W-Finisher. Tip: The gauge is already filled for you. Just use a Finisher by pressing Reiatsu + Weak Attack. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Story Mode [SM] -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- No.1: Player: Kurosaki Ichigo (Shikai) Partner: None Opponent 1: Sarugaki Hiyori (Vizard) Opponent 2: Hirako Shinji (Vizard) Condition: Win within 3 minutes. Tip: Just hack away. Pretty straight forward. It's definitely in your best interest to use bankai as soon as possible. No.2: Player: Kurosaki Ichigo (Bankai) Partner: None Opponent 1: Grimmjow Jeagerjaques Opponent 2: None Condition: Defeat an enemy who gradually recovers reiatsu. Tip: Nothing special about this fight. Just use a throw as the final attack. No.3: Player: Inoue Orihime Partner: None Opponent 1: Ulquiorra Schiffer Opponent 2: None Condition: Weak attacks do no damage. Tip: Spam Tsubaki for an easy win. No.4: Player: Sado Yasutora Partner: None Opponent 1: Kurosaki Ichigo (Shikai) Opponent 2: None Condition: Break Ichigo's guard within 30 seconds. Tip: Try to learn a long combo and wail on him with that. No.5: Player: Kurosaki Ichigo (Shikai) Partner: None Opponent 1: Nel Tu Opponent 2: None Condition: Finish the fight with a throw. Tip: I find that this stage is much easier in shikai form than in bankai. When in shikai, use the combo weak attack x3, strong attack x3. Nel guards alot but this combo will weaken and eventually break her guard with ease. No.6: Player: Kuchiki Rukia (Shikai) Partner: Abarai Renji (Shikai) Opponent 1: Kurosaki Ichigo (Shikai) Opponent 2: None Condition: Finish the battle with a Striker Attack. Tip: Don't bother switching to Renji, just wail on Ichigo using Rukia until he's almost dead, then press R and have Renji finish him off. No.7: Player: Nel Tu Partner: None Opponent 1: Kurosaki Ichigo (Shikai) Opponent 2: None Condition: Only finishers deal damage. Tip: This one was, in my opinion, the hardest of all of the missions. My only advice is that you knock him back with a strong attack of your choice, then charge your reiatsu as much as you can. Don't bother attacking otherwise, as it does no damage. Once you reach full reiatsu, spam your finisher until you run out. You do NOT have to kill him, just weaken him. No.8: Player: Kurosaki Ichigo (Shikai) Partner: None Opponent 1: Dordonii Alessandro Del Socacchio Opponent 2: None Condition: Damage is only dealt with a 3-hit combo or greater. Tip: You have two good choices; Soul Blaze, or a combo of weak attack x3, strong attack x3. Your choice. No.9: Player: Kurosaki Ichigo (Bankai) Partner: None Opponent 1: Dordonii Alessandro Del Socacchio Opponent 2: None Condition: End the fight with a Finisher. Tip: Have at least 2 or 3 bars of reiatsu before you attempt a finisher. If Dordonii blocks your attack, you'll have to step back and charge up again. Also, if you're right next to him when you put on the mask, you'll stun him and knock him into the air. Then you can dash up under him and use your finisher on him before he hits the ground. No.10: Player: Ishida Uryuu (Seele Schneider) Partner: None Opponent 1: Cirucci Thunderwitch Opponent 2: None Condition: Win. You cannot side step. Tip: Use the combo WA x2, SA, D + SA. This also knocks her up into the air, which leaves her open for a finisher, which does a LOT of damage in this match. No.11: Player: Sado Yasutora (Brazo Izquierda del Diablo) Partner: None Opponent 1: Gantenbainne Mosqueda Opponent 2: None Condition: Win when both players have infinite reiatsu. Tip: You heard it! No reiatsu limit! Sado's finisher "La Muerte" is a counter, so just stand right next to Gantenbainne and spam your finisher. No.12: Player: Sado Yasutora (Brazo Izquierda del Diablo) Partner: None Opponent 1: Nnoitra Jiruga Opponent 2: None Condition: Your opponent will not be stunned by attacks. Tip: Nnoitra does some serious damage. Stay on the offensive so he doesn't have time to attack you. You don't actually have to kill Nnoitra, just weaken him to near-zero health. No.13: Player: Kuchiki Rukia (Shikai) Partner: None Opponent 1: Aaroniero Arruruerie Opponent 2: None Condition: Win. You take less damage when your reiatsu is 2 or higher. Tip: Fill up your reiatsu as soon as possible, or you'll take a beating. Also, your finisher "Tsugi no Mai: Hakuren" does a ton of damage. No.14: Player: Abarai Renji (Shikai) Partner: None Opponent 1: Szayel Aporro Granz Opponent 2: None Condition: You cannot use bankai or finishers. Tip: You don't actually have to kill him, just get him to near zero life. No.15: Player: Ishida Uryuu (Seele Schneider) Partner: Abarai Renji (Shikai) Opponent 1: Szayel Aporro Granz Opponent 2: None Condition: End the match with a W-Finisher. You can't use Finishers. Tip: Don't use your tag gauge at all until the very end. That's the easiest route to go. Pay attention to your reiatsu gauge and try to keep it as high as you can. No.16: Player: Kurosaki Ichigo (Bankai) Partner: None Opponent 1: Ulquiorra Schiffer Opponent 2: None Condition: You must have a reiatsu of 5 or more to deal damage. Tip: Just charge your reiatsu as fast as you can, and avoid using finishers until you have at least 7 bars of reiatsu. No.17: Player: Grimmjow Jeagerjaques Partner: None Opponent 1: Ulquiorra Schiffer Opponent 2: None Condition: Both players deal double damage. Tip: Attack all out, not giving him the chance to counter. A good combo is weak attack x2, back + weak attack, weak attack. Or if you're feeling really cheap you can just spam forward + strong attack. No.18: Player: Kurosaki Ichigo (Bankai) Partner: None Opponent 1: Grimmjow Jeagerjaques (Pantera) Opponent 2: None Condition: Damage dealt changes over time. Tip: Hope you don't care too much about getting an S rank on this one. Every time you beat it, the game starts up the credit role, and while it's true that you can skip this, when you do it takes you back to the menu. Oh, and enjoy the music for this fight, it freakin' rules. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tag Master Mode [TM] -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- When first starting Tag Master Mode, select Tag Entry.

Kurosaki Ichigo (Bankai) and Senna Kurosaki Ichigo (Bankai) and Kurosaki Ichigo (Inner Hollow Bankai) Kurosaki Ichigo (Shikai) and Nel Tu Kuchiki Byakuya (Bankai) and Kuchiki Rukia (Shikai) Madarame Ikkaku (Shikai) and Zaraki Kenpachi Ishida Uryuu (Seele Schneider) and Abarai Renji (Shikai) Hitsugaya Toushiro and Kusaka Soujiro Inoue Orihime and Matsumoto Rangiku Shihouin Yoruichi and Soi Fon Hirako Shinji and Sarugaki Hiyori (Without Masks) Sado Yasutora (Brazo Izquierda del Diablo) and Gantenbainne Mosqueda Sousuke Aizen and Ichimaru Gin Tousen Kaname and Yammy Ulquiorra Schiffer and Grimmjow Jeagerjaques Szayel Aporro Granz and Aaroniero Arruruerie Nnoitra Jiruga and Neliel Tu Oderschvank Dordonii Alessandro Del Socacchio and Cirucci Thunderwitch -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Unlocking [UN] -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Gallery: Playing Time Attack mode unlocks several items in the Gallery. By clearing Time Attack in under 3'30"00 with different character types (Human, Shinigami, Vizard, or Arrancar), you can unlock different Gallery pages. Tip: Soi Fon can instant-kill the opponent if her Finisher is used twice consecutively. My personal record for Time Attack is 01'51"18 with Kurosaki Ichigo (Bankai) and Grimmjow Jeagerjaques (Pantera), Offensive-type Tag. Sound Mode: Playing Tag Survival Mode will unlock BGM and Sound Effects. After 25 wins I unlocked ALL of the sound effects and BGM. An easy way to get a large number of wins is to use Ishida Uryuu as your main, and Inoue Orihime as your secondary. Only fight at a distance with Ishida to keep damage to a minimum, and whenever the Tag Gauge is full, use Orihime's support attack, which heals your life slightly. Alternatively, get 10 wins in Tag Survival, and 10 in Single Survival. To unlock the Character Voices, clear the 100-man Survival. The easiest way to do this is use Kurosaki Ichigo, activate Bankai, and spam the black Getsuga Tenshou. Choose Zaraki Kenpachi as your opponent. This is useful because he has NO long-range attacks, unlike most other characters. If you break the opponent's guard, get up close and use the Strong Attack x3 combo, then jump away from him, and keep spamming the black Getsuga Tenshou. Movie Mode: 1. Get a Crescent Moon Title (10000 Tag Points) with a tag team with at least one Human character. 2. Get a Crescent Moon Title (10000 Tag Points) a second time with a DIFFERENT tag team with at least one Human character. 3. Get a Crescent Moon Title (10000 Tag Points) with a tag team with at least one Shinigami character. 4. Get a Crescent Moon Title (10000 Tag Points) a second time with a DIFFERENT tag team with at least one Shinigami character. 5. Get a Crescent Moon Title (10000 Tag Points) with a tag team with at least one Arrancar character. 6. Get a Crescent Moon Title (10000 Tag Points) a second time with a DIFFERENT tag team with at least one Arrancar character. 7. Get a Crescent Moon Title (10000 Tag Points) with a tag team with at least one Vizard character. 8. Get a Crescent Moon Title (10000 Tag Points) a second time with a DIFFERENT tag team with at least one Vizard character. 9. Get a Half Moon Title (25000 Tag Points) with a tag team with one Human character and one Shinigami character. 10. Get a Half Moon Title (25000 Tag Points) a second time with a DIFFERENT tag team with one Human character and one Shinigami character. Character: Grimmjow Jeagerjaques (Pantera) Unlock: Clear Story Mode. The majority of unlockable items are gained by playing Tag Master Mode. They are unlocked by gaining a certain number of points with and ONE team. This means that even if the combined points of two teams equal the amount needed to unlock something, only the larger number will count. 2500: Kuchiki Rukia (Shikai) 5000: Hueco Mundo Desert Stage 7000: Kurosaki Ichigo (Inner Hollow Shikai) 8000: Las Noches - Room of Doors Stage 10000: Sarugaki Hiyori (Vizard) 12000: Las Noches - Cirucci's Room Stage 15000: Cirucci Thunderwitch 17000: Las Noches - Dordonii's Room Stage 20000: Dordonii Alessandro Del Socacchio 22000: Las Noches - Aaroniero's Room Stage 25000: Las Noches - Outside Stage 27000: Szayel Aporro Granz 40000: Las Noches - Sousuke Aizen's Room 50000: Neliel Tu Oderschvank For other characters, see the "Convert" section of "Appendix" and the "Tag Master Mode" section. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Frequently Asked Questions [FAQ] -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Q: Why doesn't the "Convert" option unlock the other characters? A: It only unlocks them in Single mode. When in the Single Mode character select screen, press R or L to use these extra characters. If you already converted and these characters are NOT unlocked, you probably have the wrong version. Both the save file AND your copy of Heat the Soul 5 MUST be the same. Odds are you have the Asian version of one and the Japanese version of the other. Q: Who is that character in the bottom right corner and why can't I unlock him? A: ...That's not a character... It's the Random select button... -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Thanks [TX] -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The thanks are listed in order of when they helped out.
