Bandai Namco Entertainment today (October 29, 2025) has launched the third DLC expansion for its competitive action game “BLEACH Rebirth of Souls” (available on PC / PS5 / Xbox Series X|S / PS4) — “Hyōjibu Ichibei.”
Hyōjibu Ichibei is the leader of the Royal Guard’s special unit, Squad Zero, tasked with protecting the Soul King. He is known as the one who bestowed names upon all things in Soul Society and appears to know the true names of every Zanpakutō.
By accumulating a unique “Cover Gauge” through specific attacks, players can trigger a “covered state” on opponents—applying debuffs such as increased damage taken and reduced defense. The gauge gradually depletes over time.
Upon awakening, he unleashes his ultimate move: “True Strike ‘Shirahitō Ichimonji.’” Immediately after awakening, the opponent is forced into the covered state. Additionally, during this state, an added effect called “Black Ants” applies—reducing the power of the opponent’s Resurrection Techniques by half.
With a focus on inflicting various debuffs, Hyōjibu Ichibei excels in long-lasting, strategic combat.
