Summary
- Bleach: Rebirth of Souls has a hidden message within its Aizen secret story.
- Aizen’s stories take a lot of time to unlock, though, so you’ll have to put the work in.
- The message is very cryptic, and seems to be riffing on similar fourth-wall-breaking games.
Bleach: Rebirth of Souls players have discovered a secret message from the developers that’s hiding within the game, although you’ll have to put in the work to see it.
Anime video games have been on a strong run over the past few years, but that’s mostly been thanks to Dragon Ball and Naruto doing all the heavy lifting. That looks like it’s going to change in 2025, though, as there are a ton of exciting releases not tied to those two for once. Case in point, Bleach: Rebirth of Souls.

Since launching late last week, Bleach has made a strong impression and shaped up to be an exciting starting point for a new anime game series, especially since it only covers two of the show’s arcs. While there’s plenty of Bleach story left untold for future entries, there are some nice secrets hiding within the game, mostly thanks to its aptly named Secret Stories.
Bleach: Rebirth Of Souls’ Aizen Secret Story Has A Secret Of Its Own
Don’t Expect To Unlock It For Some Time, Though
As the name implies, Bleach: Rebirth of Souls’ Secret Stories are smaller side stories that can be unlocked by performing specific actions during missions. They’re not super important to the main plot, but they are a nice bonus for fans of the series that gives more screentime for the characters. In the case of Aizen, there’s actually a hidden message in one of them.
As pointed out by Twitter user ShonenGames, Aizen’s secret story, which is going to take a lot of effort to see since the missions are unlocked late into the game, features a scene that’s meant to act as a fourth-wall-breaking message to players. The message can be seen after Aizen and Ichigo fight in the secret story, which leads to things fading to white.
To all players. By continuing to push forward through many challenges and hardships, you have gained a miraculous power. With this power, you have become able to make new choices. Your next choice may very well have a profound impact on your world.
The message itself is very cryptic and doesn’t really seem to be hinting at anything in particular, but it is reminiscent of the sort of trick that games like Nier Automata pull. It mentions choices despite there not being one to make, so it seems like it’s just a nice bit of set-dressing to represent Aizen’s thoughts after his defeat.
