Bleach: Rebirth of Souls boasts an extensive roster of playable characters, capturing the essence of the series from its beginning through the Arrancar arc. While fans of Quincy and Fullbringers might feel a bit left out, the game includes nearly every major character from the covered arcs. Here's a comprehensive list of the major playable characters you'll encounter:
Johnny Yong Bosch, known to many as Adam from Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, has carved out an impressive career in voice acting. He's been the voice of Ichigo Kurosaki since the series' inception and has lent his talents to iconic characters like Vash the Stampede from Trigun, Sasori from Naruto, and Giyu Tomioka from Demon Slayer. In gaming, he's famous for voicing Yu Narukami in Persona 4 and Nero in Devil May Cry, with an upcoming role as Dante in the Netflix series. His distinctive voice is likely familiar to many fans.
Sosuke Aizen, one of anime's most memorable antagonists, is brought to life by Kyle Hebert. A veteran in the industry, Hebert's voice is synonymous with characters like Gohan from Dragon Ball Z, Escanor from Seven Deadly Sins, Ryu from Street Fighter, and even Big the Cat from Sonic the Hedgehog. His narration in Bleach: Rebirth of Souls adds a layer of depth to the game's experience.
Michelle Ruff, another seasoned voice actor, has been a staple in the anime world for years. Beyond her role as Rukia, she's known for voicing Fujiko Mine in various Lupin III projects and Luna in Sailor Moon since Viz acquired the series. In video games, she's voiced Sadayo Kawakami in Persona 5 and numerous female characters in the Castlevania series, including Maria Renard in Symphony of the Night and Shanoa in her various appearances.
Grimmjow Jaegarjaquez, a standout character from the Arrancar arc, is voiced by David Vincent in Bleach: Rebirth of Souls.
