Features
Soul Road mode
Soul Road is a special game mode where you pass through many boxes, fighting enemies, to level up your Partner to unlock bonus items such as Special Costumes and new Partners. There are five types of boxes: white boxes are neutral and may be passed through unhindered; red boxes are battlefields where you must defeat an opponent to advance; flashing boxes are special battles where you must defeat an opponent under abnormal circumstances (i.e., you must use at least a 3-Hit combo to inflict damage, or you must use a special attack to inflict damage, etc.); blue boxes are checkpoints where you exchange your accumulated victory points for Partner Trust percentage points; blue character boxes are checkpoints where you encounter your Partner and he or she asks you a multiple-choice question before allowing you to proceed.
There are Normal and Hard modes in Soul Road. Normal mode awards you fewer Partner Trust points for victories, and fewer Partner Trust points when turning in victory points at the blue checkpoint boxes. Hard mode awards you more Partner Trust points per battle, but your health does not get fully replenished when you win. Instead, after each battle in Hard mode, your health is only regenerated by 10%.
Mission Battle mode
This mode is for reliving some of the battles that occur within the main storyline.
Karakura Heroes mode
This mode puts the player into a humorous side story, with some extra anime scenes added. Don Kanonji leads Byakuya Kuchiki and TÅ
