New Gameplay Insights for Shigekuni Genryusai Yamamoto in Bleach: Rebirth of Souls
Recent gameplay footage has shed light on Shigekuni Genryusai Yamamoto, the iconic leader of the Gotei 13, in the upcoming game Bleach: Rebirth of Souls. Although fans were already aware of his presence thanks to the release date trailer, this new video offers a comprehensive look at his combat style and moveset as he battles Ichigo Kurosaki.
The Grandmaster’s Role
As both the founding head of the Gotei 13 and captain of its 1st Division, Yamamoto is a formidable character within the Bleach universe. He is armed with his legendary sword, the Ryujin Jakka, and is renowned for his powerful techniques, especially the Zanka no Tachi Bankai, which unleashes devastating fiery attacks.
Gameplay Mechanics
The recently released footage highlights Yamamoto’s unique gameplay mechanics, particularly the Inferno Gauge. This gauge fills up based on specific attack types, including his Signature Move. Once the gauge is full, he transitions into a Hellfire State, enhancing his attack power significantly. The Inferno Gauge opens up access to powerful moves, including:
- Spiritual Pressure Move 1: Shiranui – A ranged flame attack.
- Spiritual Pressure Move 2 – Similar to Shiranui, it unleashes flames in a forward direction.
- Taimatsu – A standard attack when not in Hellfire State; upgraded to the fiery Nadegiri when in Hellfire State.
The gameplay trailer showcases Yamamoto’s Awakening Bankai approximately 40 seconds into the video, demonstrating the full extent of his power.
