Looks like a mess of samurai chaos and we are totally okay with that. A ninja is related to a samurai making Bleach on the right side of the pirate/ninja debate.
This multiplayer success first flew off Japanese store shelves last year, while the US has yet to see the title. The sequel is bound to reach players in Japan this Winter while still no word has be heard if the popular anime series will expand to other shores.
With a serious need for an awesome fighting game with online capabilities on the DS, we hope to see Bleach DS reach US gamers. Until then, if you have the ability to read Japanese and love imports, you can reserve the game and get a DS case sporting one of the most cuddly characters, Kon.

Dear god...MINE.
If anyone hasn't had the chance to play Bleach on the DS, let me tell you it's one of the most solid fighters on the market today. With Bleach 2nd and Jump UltimateStars now online, there is no excuse for any anime fan not to have those games...

I think it's worth noting that the game features an drawable, or selectable, avatar. Something new also seems to be the ability to see the opponent's dash bars which was something that was really missing on the first one. If someone could verify the fact that they are only expanding the character roster and not removing anyone, that would be great because that's the only thing I'm not certain of. Another thing I'm not sure about is that they are making the multiplayer connection speed faster, which was an issue on the first one. The third thing I'm not sure of is the amount of characters playing at the same time. I initially thought it would be four, like the previous one, but on play-asia it says 1-8. I highly suggest buying this game as the first one is one of the best four player fighting games I've ever played. I apologize for this lengthy comment.
