“Whenever someone mentions “the big three” any long term fan of Japanese anime or manga will know immediately that they are talking about the big three franchises of the early 2000s. These three being Naruto, One Piece, and Bleach but unlike the former two, Bleach was always something of a middle-child. Not only was the manga not given an entire anime adaptation until it was recently continued, but it also has not been given a sequel nor continuation other than a one-shot from Tite Kubo years ago. This also meant that unlike the other two series, the title was not given many major video games throughout the years, the most notable being the Warriors-esque Bleach: Soul Resurrección back in 2011 and a mobile phone game that launched in 2015 and is still running to this day with console ports.
This made the reveal that a brand new fighting game for the Bleach franchise was on the way all the sweeter. So now with both its anime series continuing and a fresh new fighter arriving on the scene, is Bleach: Rebirth of Souls a worthwhile game for fans of this long loved shonen series to jump into?”
