Bleach: Heat the Soul

Bleach: Heat the Soul is a series of fighting games developed by Eighting and published by Sony Computer Entertainment for the PlayStation Portable. They are based on the manga and anime series Bleach by Tite Kubo. All installments have been released only in Japan.

Each installment has several methods of play, with different types of game modes. New games have introduced additional modes that usually carry over to the sequels. Using characters taken directly from Bleach manga, the player uses each character's unique abilities to battle and defeat an opponent. New games expand on the series' plotline in "Story Mode" or, as it is known in Heat the Soul 3 and 4, "Mission Mode", which generally stays true to the source material. Because of this, the character roster increases with each installment.
