Bleach: Dark Souls
Yay Bleach! This summer we'll be seeing Bleach: Dark Souls inhabit the hollow slots of Nintendo DSes near you. Build a Spirit Card Deck, collect crystals, kick ass with up to four people Soul Reapers and a cast of 44 manga-riffic characters.
The game takes place between the first two seasons of the show, so Bleach fans will get a hoot out of new details of Ichigo's never ending quest to save his girlfriend.
But enough about the game - all the details are after the jump. My question for Bleach fans is: who would you rather take home? I am a Chad fan myself, although I wouldn't kick Renji off my tatami either. Ichigo never caught my eye before, although a quick Google image search has just changed that...

I'm very excited for this! The first one (Bleach:Blade of Fate) was excellent, and this is an upgrade for sure. I'm so happy we get the Bleach games on Nintendo systems in english!
Now it'd be nice if they keep the Japanese voice work, but I sort of got used to it after hours upon hours of online fighting.
Best fighter on DS.
PS. Rukia isn't Ichigo's girlfriend. If anything he treats her like one of the guys.
Renji...oh yes...I'd take that home and WRECK IT.
I'm a Chad, to say the least.
I loved the first DS Bleach game- I am so excited for the next installment!
I'm not the biggest fan of the show, but anything Treasure touches is gaming gold. I'll prolly pick this up on that alone.
I'm a Byakuya, Ishida, Renji fan myself ;) So many hot Bleach guys.
I'm a Tōshirō Hitsugaya(a.k.a. Tiny, white-haired, boyish lil' biscuit XD) kind of guy. Yeah, I'd totally hit that, I'd be all over it... I'd do so much damage there. =P
