How to get Bankai in Chapter 19 instead of Shunko

First, let's summarise the goal in mind. During the course of Chapters 15-19, your character will undergo special "Training Sessions" in Free Time to acquire his/her Bankai. If you meet certain requirements, you will have yourself a Bankai, making the final boss a walk in the park. If you do not meet these requirements, you will get Shunko, though pleasing as it is, it's nowhere near as good as Bankai. This is a very tricky process, and there have been many theories and guesses as to which method works out best to get Bankai early. But there is only one way that I have encountered which will get you Bankai early. During the five chapters leading up to the fated Bankai release, you will do some Free Time events. There you will see numerous icons of a character with a sword next to them and the name will always begin with "Training". The objective here is to do every single one of these training icons and win. Failing one will deny you Bankai and give you Shunko instead. Some are very easy, but some really demand hardcore strategy and careful planning. Here is the list I done that got me Bankai:

1) Zanjutsu Training 1 (The icon with Ichigo). This Session requires you to defeat Hollows with Fujimaru/Matsuri, Ichigo, Renji and Komamura. Simple? Wrong. Every turn they fully heal themselves. And you need to complete it in five turns or fail. The small Hollows, like Screamers are no problem, but against the bigger Hollows like Numb Jelly that pack 1500 HP, it can be tricky. The key here is to have Ichigo, Renji and Komamura go Bankai. I used an equip that raises their Spiritual Pressure to Max, getting Bankai within the second turn. Have Renji, Komamura and Tenken Myo-oh attack the Hollows to the north and Ichigo and your character deal with all others. Handy tip: If you have Sokatsui for your main, it's easier to take down large Hollows, because every square Sokatsui hits on the Hollow accumulates, doing 1000+ damage. It's advised that you save before doing this, that way if you mess up, you can go back and try again. If all goes to plan, then you'll complete the training session.

Zanjutsu Training 2 (The icon with Ikkaku). Here, you need to defeat Ikkaku, Yumichika and Yachiru alone. Do NOT attack Yumichika or Yachiru. If you kill Ikkaku, the other two will bow down in defeat. If your character has the Tech weapon choice, this is a breeze, if not, don't worry. But here's the kicker: after you defeated Ikkaku, Kenpachi joins the fray to do a one-on-one with your character. Just fight Kenpachi until he dies and that's it complete. Again, it's where the Tech weapon comes in handy, but don't panic if you got Power or Speed.

Kido Training 1 (The icon with Kukaku). This one gave me the biggest headache. You have to defeat eight Hollows with Fujimaru/Matsuri and Kukaku...using only Kido. And If Kukaku dies, it's a fail. I heard rumours you can counter to kill, but me being me, I decided to play it safe and do only Kido, you can test it if you so please. If you want to do Kido only, just guard instead of counter when the Hollows attack. Take two steps backwards with your main behind Kukaku. This will mean the two Hollows to North can't hit you. When it's your turn next, bombard the two with Sokatsui and Raikoho, and hopefully it'll kill them. Once the Hollows to the West and East start attacking, get Kukaku out of there immediately, she won't last long against them. Your main should handle him/herself, but it is advised you have at least one Kido that you can move with. Handy tip: Watch out at the Hollows to the East, they use a variation of Byakurai, which inflicts Shock on one of your characters, which will effectively make them useless; it is advised once they come to you after you defeat the northern Hollows that you defeat them next. If all plays out, you should win. But it's not over yet. Because Kukaku now challenges you to a fight. Do the same things against the Hollows and blast her with Shakkaho..


The Best Team

There is only one thing you need to remember when making a team, and that is that any team is the best team as long as you have Hanataro and either Rukia or Captain Unohana on your team because with their healing ability your people will never die as long as they aren't at low levels


Bleach tower

It is comfermd theair is only 30 floors amd number 30 is very heard to beat


Unlock Kusaka.

After you finish the game and unlock the the Bleach Tower reach level 21. When you get into the level Have Hitugaya on your teach. When you reach Kusaka have Hitsugaya talk to Kusaka. If Hitsugaya fights Kusaka at lest once that will unlock Kusaka.


Getting Rid of Larger Hollows Faster.

The Larger Hollows are really hard to get rid of. They hold a lot of power and can deal a lot of Damage. But to deal damage by the thousands on these hollows are simple. The secret is in Skills. These Larger Hollows take up more space. For Example the Menos Grande takes up four spots. The thing to do is to use Sokatsui either right next to or close to them. The Sokatsui attacks for then one pannal at a time. Using that will help against the hollows.
