Shigekuni Genryusai Yamamoto Strikes in Bleach Rebirth of Souls Trailer

We already knew both Sosuke Aizen and Shigekuni Genryusai Yamamoto would be in Bleach Rebirth of Souls from the release date trailer, but now there’s a more focused look on gameplay for the head of the Gotei 13. The video goes over some of his moveset and shows him in a fight against Ichigo Kurosaki.

In addition to being head and founder of the Gotei 13, he’s also in charge for the 1st Division. He wields the Ryujin Jakka and is known for his Zanka no Tachi Bankai and fiery attacks. The footage begins by showing how he has an Inferno Gauge that fills with certain types of attacks like his Signature Move. When maxed out, he enters a Hellfire State that  makes his attacks stronger. One such attack tied to that form is Spiritual Pressure Move 1: Shiranui, which casts ranged flames ahead of him. His Spiritual Pressure Move 2 is the same way. If Yamamoto isn’t in Hellfire State, he’ll use Taimatsu, but if he is he’ll perform the fiery Nadegiri. His Awakening Bankai comes up at the 40 second mark of the new trailer.
