Introduction [IN]
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Somewhere between eating, sleeping, and working lies a wonderful world; The
world of video games. It's a magical place where anything you imagine can
come true, provided enough people care about it and decide it's worth their time
to create. Thankfully, Bleach: Heat the Soul 5 is the result of people caring in
such a manner. The lovely people at 8ing and SCEI have given us another great
Bleach game. As a loyal fan of the series, I felt it was my duty to create this
guide to aid those who wish to play it and unlock everything, but have no
knowledge of the Japanese language. While I myself am not fluent, I am able to
understand 70-80% of what I read. Because of that remaining 20-30%, I do not
claim that this guide is 100% accurate or that the translated sections are
literal translations. They are simply what I could, to the best of my
ability, figure out. I hope you all enjoy this game as I do, and that this
guide is of great use to you!

Tutorial 1st [T1]
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
No.1: Player: Kurosaki Ichigo (Shikai)
Opponent: Madarame Ikkaku (Shikai)
Condition: Dodge an attack.
Tip: Pretty simple. Just stand right in front of Ikkaku and
mash either up or down until he attacks.
No.2: Player: Kurosaki Ichigo (Shikai)
Opponent: Abarai Renji (Shikai)
Condition: Defend yourself for 20s.
Tip: Be careful, your guard CAN break and Renji WILL
take advantage of this.
No.3: Player: Kurosaki Ichigo (Shikai)
Opponent: Zaraki Kenpachi
Condition: Land 5 individual hits.
Tip: Just hit him with a strong attack, wait for him to recover,
and repeat.
No.4: Player: Kurosaki Ichigo (Shikai)
Opponent: Kurosaki Ichigo (Inner Hollow Shikai)
Condition: Air-dash over your opponent.
Tip: He moves alot. Stay right next to him and do it when he stops.
No.5: Player: Kurosaki Ichigo (Shikai)
Opponent: Zaraki Kenpachi
Condition: Land a 5-hit combo.
Tip: Light attack x3, strong attack x2.
No.6: Player: Hitsugaya Toushiro (Shikai)
Opponent: Ichimaru Gin
Condition: Perform 3 reiatsu knock-backs.
Tip: Don't bother charging it, just get close and tap the charge
button, wait for him to catch his balance, and repeat.
No.7: Player: Abarai Renji (Shikai)
Opponent: Kuchiki Byakuya (Shikai)
Condition: Invoke bankai.
Tip: Attack your opponent or just charge your reiatsu until you
have 2 bars, then press the L button. That's all.
No.8: Player: Shihouin Yoruichi
Opponent: Soi Fon
Condition: Hit the opponent with Soul Blaze 3 times.
Tip: Soul Blaze is preformed by pressing the reiatsu button
and then the jump button in quick succession. Once this
hits the opponent, put in whatever combination of directions
and light / strong attacks you like to create the combo you'll
use while in the Soul Blaze attack.
No.9: Player: Kurosaki Ichigo (Shikai)
Opponent: Kuchiki Byakuya (Shikai)
Condition: Hit the opponent with 3 finishers.
Tip: This is especially easy since you're using Ichigo. To use this,
press reiatsu then light attack in quick succession. Note that
in order to use a finisher, you need at least 1 bar of reiatsu.
Just hit Byakuya with the resulting Getsuga Tenshou 3
times to win.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tutorial 2nd [T2]
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
No.1: Player: Kurosaki Ichigo (Bankai)
Partner: Kuchiki Rukia (Shikai)
Opponent 1: Kuchiki Byakuya (Bankai)
Opponent 2: None
Condition: Tag out 3 times
Tip: Just let the meter fill, the hit L. Do this 3 times.
No.2: Player: Kurosaki Ichigo (Bankai)
Partner: Abarai Renji (Shikai)
Opponent 1: Aizen Sousuke
Opponent 2: None
Condition: Use the Striker Attack 3 times.
Tip: Let the tag meter fill up, and press R. Do this 3 times. Note that
the Striker Attack MUST connect to count.
No.3: Player: Kurosaki Ichigo (Shikai)
Partner: Kuchiki Rukia (Gigai)
Opponent 1: Hirako Shinji
Opponent 2: None
Condition: Use a quick change 3 times.
Tip: Press L + Jump three times.
No.4: Player: Inoue Orihime
Partner: Sado Yasutora
Opponent 1: Yammy
Opponent 2: None
Condition: Use a Tag Combo 3 times.
Tip: To do this, begin a combo with one character, then press L. That
character will attack and then tag out, bringing in the second
character, who you then continue the combo with. This only works
when using an Offensive-Type Tag.
No.5: Player: Kurosaki Ichigo (Bankai)
Partner: Inoue Orihime
Opponent 1: Yammy
Opponent 2: None
Condition: Use Guard Cancel 3 times.
Tip: To use Guard Cancel, block an attack, then while the "shield" is
displayed in front of you, press L. This only works when using a
Defensive-Type Tag.
No.6: Player: Shihouin Yoruichi
Partner: Inoue Orihime
Opponent 1: Yammy
Opponent 2: Ulquiorra Schiffer
Condition: Use Forced Switch 3 times.
Tip: Press L + Reiatsu. If the attack connects, you'll force your
opponent to switch out with his partner. Very helpful if you plan
to focus on killing one opponent in specific. This only works when
using a Technical-Type Tag.
No.7: Player: Kuchiki Rukia (Shikai)
Partner: Kurosaki Ichigo (Shikai)
Opponent 1: Grimmjow Jeagerjaques
Opponent 2: None
Condition: Use Team Boost.
Tip: For this fight you'll be using Offensive-Type Tag. Land lots of
combos until the gauge is full and the circle on the left side
is glowing. Soul Blaze is a good way to do this. When the circle
on the left side of the gauge is flashing, press L + R.
No.8: Player: Kurosaki Ichigo (Shikai)
Partner: Kuchiki Rukia (Shikai)
Opponent 1: Grimmjow Jeagerjaques
Opponent 2: None
Condition: Use W-Soul Blaze
Tip: The gauge is already filled for you. Just use Soul Blaze and enter
a good long combo. If you forgot how to do Soul Blaze, it's
Reiatsu + Jump.
No.9: Player: Kurosaki Ichigo (Bankai)
Partner: Kuchiki Rukia (Shikai)
Opponent 1: Grimmjow Jeagerjaques
Opponent 2: None
Condition: Use a W-Finisher.
Tip: The gauge is already filled for you. Just use a Finisher by
pressing Reiatsu + Weak Attack.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Story Mode [SM]
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
No.1: Player: Kurosaki Ichigo (Shikai)
Partner: None
Opponent 1: Sarugaki Hiyori (Vizard)
Opponent 2: Hirako Shinji (Vizard)
Condition: Win within 3 minutes.
Tip: Just hack away. Pretty straight forward. It's definitely in your
best interest to use bankai as soon as possible.
No.2: Player: Kurosaki Ichigo (Bankai)
Partner: None
Opponent 1: Grimmjow Jeagerjaques
Opponent 2: None
Condition: Defeat an enemy who gradually recovers reiatsu.
Tip: Nothing special about this fight. Just use a throw as the final
attack.
No.3: Player: Inoue Orihime
Partner: None
Opponent 1: Ulquiorra Schiffer
Opponent 2: None
Condition: Weak attacks do no damage.
Tip: Spam Tsubaki for an easy win.
No.4: Player: Sado Yasutora
Partner: None
Opponent 1: Kurosaki Ichigo (Shikai)
Opponent 2: None
Condition: Break Ichigo's guard within 30 seconds.
Tip: Try to learn a long combo and wail on him with that.
No.5: Player: Kurosaki Ichigo (Shikai)
Partner: None
Opponent 1: Nel Tu
Opponent 2: None
Condition: Finish the fight with a throw.
Tip: I find that this stage is much easier in shikai form than in
bankai. When in shikai, use the combo weak attack x3, strong
attack x3. Nel guards alot but this combo will weaken and
eventually break her guard with ease.
No.6: Player: Kuchiki Rukia (Shikai)
Partner: Abarai Renji (Shikai)
Opponent 1: Kurosaki Ichigo (Shikai)
Opponent 2: None
Condition: Finish the battle with a Striker Attack.
Tip: Don't bother switching to Renji, just wail on Ichigo using
Rukia until he's almost dead, then press R and have Renji
finish him off.
No.7: Player: Nel Tu
Partner: None
Opponent 1: Kurosaki Ichigo (Shikai)
Opponent 2: None
Condition: Only finishers deal damage.
Tip: This one was, in my opinion, the hardest of all of the missions.
My only advice is that you knock him back with a strong attack of
your choice, then charge your reiatsu as much as you can. Don't
bother attacking otherwise, as it does no damage. Once you reach
full reiatsu, spam your finisher until you run out. You do NOT
have to kill him, just weaken him.
No.8: Player: Kurosaki Ichigo (Shikai)
Partner: None
Opponent 1: Dordonii Alessandro Del Socacchio
Opponent 2: None
Condition: Damage is only dealt with a 3-hit combo or greater.
Tip: You have two good choices; Soul Blaze, or a combo of
weak attack x3, strong attack x3. Your choice.
No.9: Player: Kurosaki Ichigo (Bankai)
Partner: None
Opponent 1: Dordonii Alessandro Del Socacchio
Opponent 2: None
Condition: End the fight with a Finisher.
Tip: Have at least 2 or 3 bars of reiatsu before you attempt a finisher.
If Dordonii blocks your attack, you'll have to step back and charge
up again. Also, if you're right next to him when you put on the
mask, you'll stun him and knock him into the air. Then you can
dash up under him and use your finisher on him before he hits the
ground.
No.10: Player: Ishida Uryuu (Seele Schneider)
Partner: None
Opponent 1: Cirucci Thunderwitch
Opponent 2: None
Condition: Win. You cannot side step.
Tip: Use the combo WA x2, SA, D + SA. This also knocks her up into the
air, which leaves her open for a finisher, which does a LOT of damage
in this match.
No.11: Player: Sado Yasutora (Brazo Izquierda del Diablo)
Partner: None
Opponent 1: Gantenbainne Mosqueda
Opponent 2: None
Condition: Win when both players have infinite reiatsu.
Tip: You heard it! No reiatsu limit! Sado's finisher "La Muerte" is a
counter, so just stand right next to Gantenbainne and spam your
finisher.
No.12: Player: Sado Yasutora (Brazo Izquierda del Diablo)
Partner: None
Opponent 1: Nnoitra Jiruga
Opponent 2: None
Condition: Your opponent will not be stunned by attacks.
Tip: Nnoitra does some serious damage. Stay on the offensive so he
doesn't have time to attack you. You don't actually have to kill
Nnoitra, just weaken him to near-zero health.
No.13: Player: Kuchiki Rukia (Shikai)
Partner: None
Opponent 1: Aaroniero Arruruerie
Opponent 2: None
Condition: Win. You take less damage when your reiatsu is 2 or higher.
Tip: Fill up your reiatsu as soon as possible, or you'll take a beating.
Also, your finisher "Tsugi no Mai: Hakuren" does a ton of damage.
No.14: Player: Abarai Renji (Shikai)
Partner: None
Opponent 1: Szayel Aporro Granz
Opponent 2: None
Condition: You cannot use bankai or finishers.
Tip: You don't actually have to kill him, just get him to near zero
life.
No.15: Player: Ishida Uryuu (Seele Schneider)
Partner: Abarai Renji (Shikai)
Opponent 1: Szayel Aporro Granz
Opponent 2: None
Condition: End the match with a W-Finisher. You can't use Finishers.
Tip: Don't use your tag gauge at all until the very end. That's the
easiest route to go. Pay attention to your reiatsu gauge and try
to keep it as high as you can.
No.16: Player: Kurosaki Ichigo (Bankai)
Partner: None
Opponent 1: Ulquiorra Schiffer
Opponent 2: None
Condition: You must have a reiatsu of 5 or more to deal damage.
Tip: Just charge your reiatsu as fast as you can, and avoid using
finishers until you have at least 7 bars of reiatsu.
No.17: Player: Grimmjow Jeagerjaques
Partner: None
Opponent 1: Ulquiorra Schiffer
Opponent 2: None
Condition: Both players deal double damage.
Tip: Attack all out, not giving him the chance to counter. A good combo
is weak attack x2, back + weak attack, weak attack. Or if you're
feeling really cheap you can just spam forward + strong attack.
No.18: Player: Kurosaki Ichigo (Bankai)
Partner: None
Opponent 1: Grimmjow Jeagerjaques (Pantera)
Opponent 2: None
Condition: Damage dealt changes over time.
Tip: Hope you don't care too much about getting an S rank on this one.
Every time you beat it, the game starts up the credit role, and
while it's true that you can skip this, when you do it takes you
back to the menu. Oh, and enjoy the music for this fight, it
freakin' rules.

--------------- [KIB] Kurosaki Ichigo (Bankai) ---------------
Support Ability -------------- Ichigo charges at the enemy and slashes a few
times, each firing off a black Getsuga Tenshou.
Weak Attack ------------------ Punch
Weak Attack + Forward -------- Knockback punch
Weak Attack + Backwards ------ Knockback Spin side kick
Weak Attack + Down ----------- Spinning trip kick
Weak Attack + Up ------------- High jump flip
Air Attack (Weak) ------------ Kick
Strong Attack ---------------- Horizontal spin slash
Strong Attack + Forward ------ Black Getsuga Tenshou
Strong Attack + Backwards ---- Throw
Strong Attack + Down --------- Low horizontal slash
Strong Attack + Up ----------- Jump overhead spin slash
Air Attack (Strong) ---------- Diagonal slash
Reiatsu + Weak Attack -------- Using this one will activate Ichigo's mask. This
will quickly drain your reiatsu, but in exchange
boost the power of all your attacks. In this
form all Strong Attacks will also launch a black
Getsuga Tenshou at the opponent. Once you're in
this form, pressing Reiatsu + Strong Attack a
second time will use your Finisher, which is a
flurry of sword slashes. If the first attack
connects, you'll enter a very brief cutscene of
Ichigo attacking. If it misses, each slash will
fire off a black Getsuga Tenshou.

Unique W-Finishers [WF]
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This is a list of teams that have unique tag finishers, rather than one attack

Unlocking [UN]
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Gallery: Playing Time Attack mode unlocks several items in the Gallery.
By clearing Time Attack in under 3'30"00 with different character types
(Human, Shinigami, Vizard, or Arrancar), you can unlock different
Gallery pages.
Tip: Soi Fon can instant-kill the opponent if her Finisher is used
twice consecutively. My personal record for Time Attack
is 01'51"18 with Kurosaki Ichigo (Bankai) and Grimmjow
Jeagerjaques (Pantera), Offensive-type Tag.
Sound Mode: Playing Tag Survival Mode will unlock BGM and Sound Effects. After
25 wins I unlocked ALL of the sound effects and BGM. An easy way
to get a large number of wins is to use Ishida Uryuu as your main,
and Inoue Orihime as your secondary. Only fight at a distance with
Ishida to keep damage to a minimum, and whenever the Tag Gauge is
full, use Orihime's support attack, which heals your life slightly.
Alternatively, get 10 wins in Tag Survival, and 10 in Single
Survival. To unlock the Character Voices, clear the 100-man
Survival. The easiest way to do this is use Kurosaki Ichigo,
activate Bankai, and spam the black Getsuga Tenshou. Choose Zaraki
Kenpachi as your opponent. This is useful because he has NO
long-range attacks, unlike most other characters. If you break
the opponent's guard, get up close and use the Strong Attack x3
combo, then jump away from him, and keep spamming the black
Getsuga Tenshou.
Movie Mode: 1. Get a Crescent Moon Title (10000 Tag Points) with a tag team
with at least one Human character.
2. Get a Crescent Moon Title (10000 Tag Points) a second time with
a DIFFERENT tag team with at least one Human character.
3. Get a Crescent Moon Title (10000 Tag Points) with a tag team
with at least one Shinigami character.
4. Get a Crescent Moon Title (10000 Tag Points) a second time with
a DIFFERENT tag team with at least one Shinigami character.
5. Get a Crescent Moon Title (10000 Tag Points) with a tag team
with at least one Arrancar character.
6. Get a Crescent Moon Title (10000 Tag Points) a second time with
a DIFFERENT tag team with at least one Arrancar character.
7. Get a Crescent Moon Title (10000 Tag Points) with a tag team
with at least one Vizard character.
8. Get a Crescent Moon Title (10000 Tag Points) a second time with
a DIFFERENT tag team with at least one Vizard character.
9. Get a Half Moon Title (25000 Tag Points) with a tag team with
one Human character and one Shinigami character.
10. Get a Half Moon Title (25000 Tag Points) a second time with
a DIFFERENT tag team with one Human character and one
Shinigami character.
Character: Grimmjow Jeagerjaques (Pantera)
Unlock: Clear Story Mode.
The majority of unlockable items are gained by playing Tag Master Mode. They
are unlocked by gaining a certain number of points with and ONE team. This
means that even if the combined points of two teams equal the amount needed to
unlock something, only the larger number will count.
2500: Kuchiki Rukia (Shikai)
5000: Hueco Mundo Desert Stage
7000: Kurosaki Ichigo (Inner Hollow Shikai)
8000: Las Noches - Room of Doors Stage
10000: Sarugaki Hiyori (Vizard)
12000: Las Noches - Cirucci's Room Stage
15000: Cirucci Thunderwitch
17000: Las Noches - Dordonii's Room Stage
20000: Dordonii Alessandro Del Socacchio
22000: Las Noches - Aaroniero's Room Stage
25000: Las Noches - Outside Stage
27000: Szayel Aporro Granz
40000: Las Noches - Sousuke Aizen's Room
50000: Neliel Tu Oderschvank
For other characters, see the "Convert" section of "Appendix" and the
"Tag Master Mode" section.

Frequently Asked Questions [FAQ]
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Q: Why doesn't the "Convert" option unlock the other characters?
A: It only unlocks them in Single mode. When in the Single Mode character select
screen, press R or L to use these extra characters. If you already converted
and these characters are NOT unlocked, you probably have the wrong version.
Both the save file AND your copy of Heat the Soul 5 MUST be the same. Odds
are you have the Asian version of one and the Japanese version of the other.
Q: Who is that character in the bottom right corner and why can't I unlock him?
A: ...That's not a character... It's the Random select button...
