A dedicated Soul Reaper for the Royal Special Task Force Squad 0, Ichibe Hyosube prides himself on protecting the Soul King and his palace. His addition to BLEACH Rebirth of Souls’ newest DLC brings powerful combo attacks that can limit his opponents’ power.

Hyosube hones a special ability, ‘Painted Over State,’ where a special gauge accumulates energy through specific attacks that can be used to reduce damage received or increase damage dealt. His Spiritual Pressure Move, ‘Futen Taisatsuryo’, can be used up to four times, enhancing the effects of his special ability to disable a player’s Spiritual Power and transform into a devastating attack. Hyosube can change the course of the battle with his Awakening, embracing his abilities using ‘Shinuchi Shirafade Ichimonji’, forcibly inflicting his ability on opponents after their Awakening with a new level of ‘Painted Over State’ known as ‘Black Ant’, cutting the power of the opponent’s ‘Kikon Move’ in half.
