This Ichigo dons an outfit consisting of black Shinigami shihakusho resembling his post-Fullbring Bankai, claws on his hands, a white scarf on his left shoulder and a white Quincy tunic and garb. This Ichigo also does not use his Zanpakutō, but rather a dark-blue Heilig Bogen. This Ichigo also features the hairstyle from the form he took on during his final fight against Aizen and has a Blut Vene mark glowing on the right side of his face. In this form, Ichigo is a ranged attack character with the "Speed" attribute and "No Affiliation Killer" ability who has a chance to inflict Weaken with every attack. His unlockable skills are "Bruiser +20%", "Debilitator +5 secs.", "Devastation +40%", "Freeze Duration -100%", "Frenzy", and "Sprinter +2", while his Soul Trait is "Strong Attack Recharge Time -14%"; when Resurrected,his unlockable skills are "Bruiser +30%", "Debilitator +5 secs.", "Devastation +40%", "Freeze Duration -100%", "Frenzy +1", "Power Droplet Drop +17%", and "Sprinter +2", while his Soul Traits are "Strong Attack Recharge Time -14%" and "Strong Attack Damage +16%".

BBSRenewed Ichigo

  • A new version of this form, titled "Renewed", was released in 2023.

Ichigo using Saigo no Getsuga Tenshō.

  • The 4th Anniversary uniquely released two versions of Ichigo, drawing from his strongest forms in the manga, the first of which is him using Saigo no Getsuga Tenshō. In this form, Ichigo is a melee strong attack character with the "Heart" Attribute and the "Hollow Killer" and "No Affiliation Killer" abilities, being the first non-Resurrected character to have two such abilities at once with a chance to inflict Weaken with every attack. His unlockable skills are "Bruiser +20%", "Debilitator +5 secs.", "Devastation +40%", "Freeze Duration -100%", "Frenzy", "Recover 20% Stamina", and "Sprinter +2", while his Soul Trait is "Strong Attack Recharge Time -12%". Ichigo's special is Transcendent God Rock, where he unleashes a jet-black, sword-shaped blast of Reiatsu that inflicts immense damage and Weaken.
BBSFully Hollowfied Ichigo

Ichigo in his fully-Hollowfied form.

  • The second form draws from Ichigo's final fight against Ulquiorra Cifer, where he was revived by Zangetsu and entered a fully-Hollowfied form. In this form, Ichigo is a melee normal attack character with the "Mind" Attribute and the "Captain Killer" ability. His unlockable skills are "Berserker +30%", "Decreased Captain Damage Taken -20%", "Devastation +20%", "Flurry", "Poise", "Prevent Brave Battle Healing", and "Sprinter +1", while his Soul Trait is "Last-Ditch Survival Rate +100%". Ichigo's special is Immanent God Blues, where he fires an incredible fast and powerful Cero from the air that inflicts immense damage.
BBSFullbring-Hollow-Shinigami Ichigo

Ichigo in his fully merged Fullbring-Hollow-Shinigami form.

  • For the 5th Anniversary, another unique alternate-universe variant of Ichigo was released who has awakened not only his Shinigami and Hollow powers, but the Fullbring inside of him as well. In this form, Ichigo has long black hair and wears his completed Fullbring outfit over his post-Fullbring Shinigami Bankai. He also wields a long, claw-like sword resembling White's arms. On his back, he has a pair of black-red wings in a shape of swords. In this form, Ichigo is a melee strong attack character with "Hollow Killer" and "Arrancar Killer" abilities who can inflict Weaken with every attack and unlock the "Marauder" skill, which nullifies melee guard and melee attack resistance, preventing enemies from guarding against his attacks unless they have a shield or barrier activated. His Arena Traits are "Strong Attack Damage +13%" and "Spiritual Pressure +90", while his Arena Abilities other than "All Stats +5%" are "Damage to Weakened Enemies +20%" at level 5 and "Strong Attack Damage +30%" at level 10. His special attack is Heaven-Chaining Sun (天を鎖す太陽, Ten o Tozasu Taiyō), where Ichigo's wings glow red making a ring of red Reiatsu behind him while a black manji flashes under him as he focuses his intense Reiatsu into a single strike that deals immense damage and inflicts Weaken.
BBSQuincy-Shinigami Ichigo

An alternate-universe Ichigo who had his Shinigami powers augmented by exposure to Uryū's Quincy powers.

  • For the 7th Anniversary, an alternate-universe Ichigo was released who had his Shinigami powers augmented by exposure to Uryū Ishida's Quincy powers, causing him to wield a bow and arrow instead of a sword, with the bow in question having a resemblance to the the tsuba of Ichigo's post-Fullbring Bankai. In this form, Ichigo is a ranged strong attack character with the "Mind" Attribute, as well as the "Shinigami Killer" and "Arrancar Killer" abilities, who has a chance to inflict both Paralysis and Weakening with every attack. He has three Innate Skills built in at ★5: "Immobilizer + Enervator every 5 seconds", "Sprinter +1", and "Havoc +20%", and his unlockable skills are "Berserker +40%", "Bombardment +1", "Bruiser +20%", "Debilitator +5 secs.", "Frenzy +1", "Hit Hidden Enemy Chance: 100%", "Sharpshooter", "Status Ailment Spiritual Pressure Boost +80%", and "Shared Complete Status Immunity +100%", while his Soul Trait is "Strong Attack Recharge Time -14%". Meanwhile, his Arena Traits are "Strong Attack Damage +13%" and "Spiritual Pressure +90", while his Arena Abilities other than "All Stats +5%" are "Increased Special Move Uses +1" at level 5 and "Strong Attack Damage +30%" at level 10. Ichigo's special is Scarlet Barrage (丹赤の飛雨, Niaka no Hiu; Japanese for "Red Scatter Rain"), where he fires an chained arrow into the sky, before pulling the chain causing an explosion of arrows to rain down, inflicting immense damage, Weaken, and Paralysis.
  • In the Bleach: Heat the Soul series, he has appeared in his Substitute Shinigami form, Shikai and Bankai form (both his unreleashed and Shikai forms share the same moveset, and this game series is one of the few instances he is able to fire the Getsuga Tenshō, albeit unnamed, without Zangetsu being properly being released yet).
  • While using Bankai, he can don his Hollow mask, which drains his energy meter while being worn. If the meter is empty, the mask dissipates. In Heat the Soul 7, his second Hollow form is available for Ichigo as a transformation for him, rather than his inner Hollow.
    • The donning of his Hollow mask varies between Heat the Soul games; one of his supers in 3 has him cover his face to then counterattack the foe (if he's hit) with either his upward strong attack (if a kick-based attack lands) or a cinematic zoom-in with an upwards slash (if a close-range punch lands with a different quote used), both results forcing his inner Hollow to take over and power him up with the ability to fire sword beams for every strong attack input akin to how his Bankai state works in the DS fighting games. As of 4, he is able to don his mask manually as aforementioned for the same effect of his own accord through a new super (meanwhile, Hollow Ichigo is able to always fire sword beams with his strong attacks in his own Bankai state).
    • One of his variations of Getsuga Tenshō in Heat the Soul is a counter super that involves him holding out his hand to grab an opponent attacking him, shoving them aside to strike with a stronger version of the technique (done in both unreleashed and Shikai form only). This likely nods to the one energy slash used against Kisuke Urahara where he speaks the quote used towards him "I'm not able to hold back".
    • His attack where he rapidly slashes all around him in Bankai form to defend himself from Byakuya's pincer attack attack is usually not named, though in the Heat the Soul games it is given the name Tensa Kyōga (天鎖凶牙, Heaven Chain Misfortune Fang), and in Shattered Blade is given the name Tensa Hō'ō Ranbu (天鎖鳳凰乱舞, Heaven Chain Fenghuang Wild Dance) (ending with a downward takedown slash). In Heat the Soul, if done at long range instead, Ichigo fires a series of Getsuga Tenshō blasts continuously from midair without triggering the cinematic.
      • However, the Tensa Kyōga eventually became inaccessible to Ichigo in his standard Bankai state without his Hollow mask active as of Heat the Soul 4.
      • As of 5, one of his new Bankai-state supers which can be done with or without the mask active is a Getsuga Tenshō fired upon launching the foe up after a blackout occurs when Ichigo connects with an upwards slash; the blackout ends with the camera panning to above Ichigo charging up a Kuroi Getsuga, and upon striking the airborne victim with it, a brief image of a Hollow mask appears upon contact.
      • Also in Shattered Blade is a move called Koku Kirinshō (黒麒麟衝, Black Qilin Piercer), where Bankai Ichigo turn-leaps into the air for a black-energy slamming-slash.
SRIchigo Model 1

Ichigo in Bleach: Soul Resurrección.

  • In his Bankai form, Ichigo can use:
  • Chiretsu Hōgeki (地裂崩撃, Earth-Rending Felling Strike), where he strikes the ground and damages enemies around him with a swirl of Reiatsu.
  • Tenbu Renjin (天舞連迅, Swift Series of Heaven-Dance), where he leaps into the air and slashes repeatedly in all directions, damaging any nearby enemies.
  • In his post-Dangai training form, Ichigo can use:
  • Kūretsusen (空裂閃, Sky-Rending Flash), a long-range slash attack that damages enemies multiple times upon impact.
  • Kokuryū Gatotsu (黒流牙突, Black Style Fang Thrust), where Ichigo generates black Reiatsu around his right arm before rushing forward, damaging anything in his path.
Ichigo Skull Clad Special Attack SR

Ichigo's Skull Clad Form Special Attack.

  • In his Skull-Clad form, Ichigo can use:
  • Onryūha (怨流破, Grudging Coursing Rend), where he fires a small, skull-shaped blast of yellow energy at an opponent.
  • Meisen Hōgeki (冥旋崩撃, Dark Whirling Felling Strike), a stronger version of Chiretsu Hōgeki.
  • Additionally, in this form, his Ignition Attack is Rengoku Getsuga Tenshō (煉獄月牙天衝, Purgatory Moon Fang Heaven-Piercer), where Ichigo gathers energy from Hell around his blade before firing it at his opponent.
  • In Bleach: The Blade of Fate and Bleach: Dark Souls, he gains a few attacks that are not often seen in the series:
    • A projectile attack that is a smaller version of Getsuga Tenshō, being named after his Zanpakutō's name.
    • A move called Engetsuzan (円月斬, Circling Moon Slash), where he slides forward along the ground for a sweeping slash (and also appears in Bleach: Shattered Blade where he slashes at mid-level instead).
    • Gazan (牙斬, Fang Slash), a jump-rising version of his crouching heavy attack into his midair heavy attack (upward slash into a downward slash) which functions as an anti-air special, and can be done in midair. In Shattered Blade however, it is instead reworked as a move where he pulls his sword from the ground to launch forward a massive wave of reiatsu (akin to when he first released Zangetsu's shikai).
    • Kongenzan (根限斬, Root Limit Slash), his iconic sword-planting move used to free Rukia from her execution stand which summons either two large moon waves beside him (Blade of Fate) or a single pillar of light (Dark Souls). A stronger version known as Issenzuki (一閃突, Single Flashing Thrust) (misspelled as Issentzuki in the movelists) acts as his Super Move B, where he emits a lasting light pillar (Blade of Fate) or rapidly emitting light pillars in a row towards both sides of himself (Dark Souls).
      • A similar attack is used for his Guard Break in Jump Ultimate Stars, his R1+Square area/ranged attack for J-Stars Victory Vs. and for his midair special move in Blade Battlers known as Raigekishū (雷撃襲, Thunder Strike Assault) via dropping down from the air (where it creates a small shockwave crater instead).
    • Daihazan (大波斬, Big Wave Slash) (misspelled as Danhazan in the movelists), where he lift-slashes a wad of debris in the form of boulders at his target.
    • In both the first two DS games, his Bankai state is a power-up state where he is granted super armor and can attack with black waves of spiritual energy; the attack animations used are redone versions of his standing medium, crouching medium, jumping heavy and his Super Move A (Getsuga Tenshō itself), which each fire a black wave per attack.
  • In Bleach: Blade Battlers 2nd, when he puts on his Hollow mask while in Bankai via his neutral/EX Super Move input, he can only wear it for 11 seconds, and can fire two Getsuga Tenshō at once.
    • Also in the Blade Battlers games, Ichigo has other techniques in the series exclusive to it:
      • Sōga (爪牙, Claw Fang), a move akin to his aforementioned Engetsuzan where he slide-slashes forward with an outwards slash, only alongside a Getsuga Tenshō that braces him in front.
      • Retsuga (烈牙, Violent Fang) (only in Blade Battlers 2nd), a forward-sword-thrusting version of Sōga used only in his Bankai state that uses dark energy instead of his usual blue energy.
      • Senpūgiri (旋風斬り, Whirlwind Cutter), a stationary spinning attack used as his Super Move.
      • Issen Getsuga (一閃月牙, Lone Flash Moon Fang) (only in Blade Battlers 2nd), a stronger version of Getsuga Tenshō (where he shouts out the name) where Ichigo slashes out a large crescent wave in place that launches any nearby targets, then performs another slash to shoot it forward. Only usable in Shikai state as his neutral/EX Super Move.
  • Jump Super Stars and Jump Ultimate Stars also give Ichigo various versions of his Getsuga Tenshō technique in his playable koma forms, with his 6 koma in Ultimate Stars having the Quincy version of the Zanpakutō spirit to emerge alongside him. Chad, Orihime and Ishida appear beside him as various assist attacks mainly in the prior installment.
    • The latter installment also adds other techniques for him:
      • Reiatsu Kyōmei (霊圧共鳴, Spiritual Pressure Resonance): A vertically-upwards version of his nameless-Getsuga Tenshō that was originally his Special A in his 4 battle koma in Jump Super Stars (and acts as his 4 koma's Special B in Jump Ultimate Stars). Most likely based off of the occasional energy wave attacks unleashed before he mastered Getsuga Tenshō, akin to the 4 Koma Special A version of Getsuga Tenshō itself (where he only shouted out Zangetsu's name via the text bubble). Only in Jump Super Stars, this attack can be charged up by holding down the X button for more damage and a size increase.
      • Ketsui (決意, Resolution​), his Special B in 5 koma where Ichigo stares off in the distance and recites the quote to Rukia to let him handle fighting Grand Fisher by himself ("Don't lay a hand on them, this...is my fight.") Grants him a free attack buff at the cost of also preventing him from doing a battle koma switch for the duration of the buff.
      • Kakugo (覚悟, Readiness), his 6 koma Special B where Ichigo points forward with his blade to gesture his foe to prepare themselves for the worst, directly based off of a moment with his second fight against Renji (using his quote "I'll be cutting YOU!") Grants him a free attack buff without the prior side effect.
      • Both his 7 koma and 8 koma have him in his Bankai form by default with new attacks. His 7 koma only in Ultimate Stars has a percent chance of his Special A (the Bankai version of his Getsuga Tenshō) to have his Inner Hollow interfere to increase the attack's strength (but if it occurs, it will debuff him with a self-SP drain temporarily), while his 8 Koma has him use Hollowfication to increase the strength of both his Special A and B.
      • His 4-to-6 koma versions originally had his strong attacks be chargeable by holding down the Y button for different effects and damage, as well as all versions of his Special A from 4-to-6 koma. However, while his Special A variations in Jump Ultimate Stars can no longer be charged up this way, both Ichigo's neutral strong attack (originally his up Y in Super Stars) if fully-tapped for the maximum hits and/or his Ultimate Action/Taunt can power up his side, up and midair strong attacks for one enhancement with no need to manually charge (before needing to charge it up again).
      • His 7 koma's Special A differs from all his other komas' Special Attack A moves in Super Stars in that it can be tapped twice to have Ichigo fire a second Getsuga Tenshō right after it (but cannot be charged up). In Ultimate Stars, his Bankai state's Ultimate Action/Taunt has his Inner Hollow briefly take over before Ichigo rips off his own mask (nod to his final fight against Byakuya), which while making him gain a bit of SP, costs some of his own J-Soul/HP in trade.
      • Curiously, the bubble text never has Ichigo yell out the name of his Getsuga Tenshō in Jump Super Stars, and only in his 5 and 6 koma in Ultimate Stars does he yell out the attack name (with the Quincy version of Zangetsu beside him only for his 6 koma version as aforementioned).
J-Stars-Victory Ichigo

Ichigo in J-Stars Victory Vs.

  • Ichigo, along with various Bleach characters, appears as an orange suit in Pockie Ninja.
  • He and Rukia are released for a limited time in the mobile game Onmyōji as collectible shikigami units.
  • He also appears in J-Stars Victory. Vs. and its localized revision, J-Stars Victory Vs. +, with these new special moves (and also fights in his Bankai form by default unlike in his prior appearances):
    • Tenshō Ranbu (天衛乱舞, Heaven-Piercing Wild Dance), a slow-startup move where he flash-steps to his foe's front for a launching slash (used for his strong-to-weak string finisher), which is then followed up with an omni-directional assault of rapid strikes at fast speed (performs his midair strong string in front of the foe then behind them before the flurry of assaults), finishing into a downward spiking slash. The midair version instead starts with a stab (used for his dash attack), and locks on to the target's current elevation level.
    • Kogetsuzan (弧月斬, Arc Moon Slash), an anti-air special akin to Gazan, where Ichigo performs a reverse-gripping jump-rising dark energy slash in a turn that launches and possesses invincibility on startup (making it a solid reversal) but has landing lag. Also serves as a starting launcher for his air combos, as his midair strong attack or a Shunpo can be followed up from it if Ichigo is within midair range next to his target, depending on the positioning of how he landed his Kogetsuzan on his target. It can also be done in midair.
    • Unlike in the source material, using his Victory Burst Super, Mugetsu, instead kills Ichigo rather than de-powering him of his Shinigami powers (and thus granting a K.O. to the opposing team). If it connects however, Mugetsu unlike all other Super Moves in the game will inflict an instant K.O. on any opposing targets.
    • Making use of Hollowfication by stamina-charging long enough allows Ichigo to perform his Getsuga Tenshō through continuous volleys, provided he has enough stamina for the followup inputs (a maximum of 6 on ground and 3 in midair). Having Ichigo enter stamina break however, causes his Hollow mask to disappear before the usual time limit is up.
    • Ichigo in the game is also able to perform Shunpō off of various parts of his default attack strings, though this requires both stamina as with all sidesteps and tight execution to pull off in order to form creative-extensions to his strings. Also only with his Hollow Mask on, he can also perform a Shunpō off of each Getsuga Tenshō-volley-input.
  • The game Jump Force features Ichigo in his Thousand Year Blood War garb as a playable character in. The game reuses a few of his assets (such as some animations) from the prior J-Stars game. Due to his new outfit and form of Zangetsu, his Getsuga Tenshō can be enhanced to be a Getsuga Jūjishō (the former is performed with a single input tap via Ichigo slashing out with the smaller sword, while the latter is done while holding down the Energy Charge button where Ichigo fires a faster second sword beam at the already-fired prior sword beam). However, both the normal Tenshō and Jūjishō alike are replaced by a Hollowfied-singular vertical Getsuga Tenshō when Ichigo awakens to his Merged Hollow Form throughout the rest of the current round.
    • However, he also gains 2 new abilities:
      • Getsuga Tenshō: Zero (月牙天衝・零, Moon Fang Heaven-Piercer: Zero): Draws both swords to dash-thrust with both of them as he emits spiritual energy. And upon connecting, he thrusts into his foe as he carries them slightly forward, finishing with a turning-rising upward slash with both blades (akin to his aforementioned Kogetsuzan from J-Stars) that unleashes a towering wave of energy from the ground akin to his Shattered Blade-version Gazan. This after he recovers from the rising slash with a stationary backflip, puts Ichigo in airborne state often next to the foe if it fully connects, allowing him to followup into aerial actions.
      • Getsuga Hazan (月牙破斬, Moon Fang Blast Slash): Holds both blades up in a cross with a spiritual energy aura emitting from him for a counter stance, and if hit via a non-throw or anything not an Awakening Super, he warps away with Shunpo and counters with a double lifting slash in reverse grip, then ending with teleporting to his launched foe for a downward cross cut from behind in midair.
      • When Ichigo performs his Awakening Super named after his True Bankai, curiously, the sword shatters on its own to reveal the form underneath upon impact. Afterwards however, it returns to its normal Shikai state.
