Bandai Namco Entertainment have announced the release date of the Yoruichi Shihōin Bleach DLC character for Jump Force.
Yoruichi and Giorno Giovanna from Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure were revealed ahead of their official announcements, due to a “work-in-progress” update being released and subsequently data-mined. Now, Bandai Namco Entertainment have revealed the official release date for Yoruichi, along side new screenshots [1, 2].
Yoruichi has many important titles under her belt. She is a Shimimagi, a death god tasked with ensuring the souls of the dead proceed through the circle of transmigration, and slay the Hollows born of souls that do not.
She is also the princess of the Tenshiheisōban, one of the four Noble Families. Finally she is the former captain of the 2nd Division of the Gotei 13, and former commander of the Onmitsukidō.
As a Shunpo Master Yoruichi can move at such blinding speed she can look as though she is in multiple places at once. Combined with her mastery of the Hakuda martial art, and a Kidō Expert, she is already a force to be reckoned with.
On top of all that, she combines the latter two into Shunkō; allowing her to create lightning and even transform into a cat-hybrid form. This form makes her just as fickle as a cat however, making her a danger to friend and foe alike.
You can find the screenshots (via Facebook) below.
Yoruichi Shihōin will launch Early 2021 as part of Character Pass 2. Previous characters include My Hero Academia’s Shoto Todoroki, Meruem from Hunter X Hunter, and Yu Yu Hakusho’s Hiei.
