Bandai Namco Entertainment has released the twenty-sixth character trailer for Bleach: Rebirth of Souls, an upcoming 3D arena fighting game based on Tite Kubo's popular shonen franchise. The new gameplay trailer showcases the abilities of Shuhei Hisagi, the co-lieutenant of the 9th Division. According to the video's description, he excels in "Zan Ken So Ki" techniques, and becomes stronger by accepting his fears.

His power has one of the most vague descriptions: "His "Fear" will be accumulated by the destruction of the Konpaku or being in the Awakening state. The more Fear is accumulated, the more damage will increase and the performance of some of the moves will change." Watch the Bleach: Rebirth of Souls character trailer for Hisagi below:
