The game introduces new characters, adds new moves for the older characters as well as introduces new game modes. Bleach: Dark Souls also includes Hollows of varying sizes, for players to fight. The number of Reifu cards in-game are also increased from the original, and more cards (4 cards, instead of the previous game's 2) will be displayed on the touch screen during battle. The Wi-fi battle mode has been improved to make it easier to play online.[1][2] The game's theme song is "Resistance" by High and Mighty Color. Nintendo Power announced in its April 2008 issue that Bleach DS 2nd will be released in Europe and North America on October 7, 2008 with the name Bleach: Dark Souls.

Story

The game takes place between Sōsuke Aizen's betrayal of Soul Society and Ichigo Kurosaki's departure from Soul Society. It reveals more storyline of Ichigo and his friends in Soul Society, which is corrupted with Hollows, seemingly by Aizen. A Mod-Soul attempts to destroy all of the Shinigami because the Shinigami feel that Mod-Souls have no right to exist. The same Mod-Soul attempts to collect all soul candies that were dropped at the beginning of the game. At the end, he is convinced by Ichigo to live his life and that he is not alone. Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto promises that all existing Mod-Souls will be allowed to live their lives. The ending shows where Ichigo bids farewell to Rukia Kuchiki as in the end of the Soul Society Rescue Arc.
