Editor’s Note
The trailer for the Retsu Unohana DLC presents major spoilers that pertain to her character development and story arc.
The trailer begins with Unohana showcasing her expected demeanor and appearance from the series’ beginning. However, at approximately 33 seconds into the trailer, viewers are introduced to her alternate form. As the narrative unfolds in Bleach, we discover that Unohana was not always the captain of the Fourth Division but previously led the Eleventh Division before Kenpachi Zaraki. This transformation is marked by a change in her hairstyle and the iconic Zanpakuto, Minazuki. Interestingly, the gameplay segment during this reveal features Unohana in combat against Zaraki.
For those interested, here is the complete video highlighting Retsu Unohana’s character:
Retsu Unohana represents the second character added to Bleach Rebirth of Souls as DLC, joining another character release that also contained significant spoilers. This previous character was a new version of Ichigo Kurosaki, which debuted in June 2025, showcasing his abilities from the Thousand Year Blood War Arc.
Bleach Rebirth of Souls is accessible on multiple platforms, including PS4, PS5, Xbox Series X, and PC. Full access to Retsu Unohana will officially launch on August 25, 2025, while season pass holders can enjoy her gameplay immediately.
