5. Unlocking Transformations

In Heat the Soul 7, transformations are generally handled in two ways:

Select-Screen Transformations: Some characters (like Ichigo or Bankai users) have separate slots on the character select screen. You must unlock these slots separately via the methods above.
In-Game Transformation: Other characters transform mid-battle by using their Special Move (Ougi) while in "Heat Up" mode (when the spiritual pressure bar is full).

Note on "Final Getsuga Tensho": This version of Ichigo is a separate character slot. He is not a mid-battle transformation for standard Ichigo; he must be selected from the roster screen after unlocking him.

2. Unlockables via Battle Mode (Mission Mode)

Aside from the story, several characters are locked behind the Battle Mode (Mission Mode) challenges. Title: Bleach: Heat the Soul 7 – Unlock

The Rules:

Go to Battle Mode.
Select Mission.
Completing specific mission sets (often the higher-numbered missions) will trigger an unlock prompt.

Tip: Keep an eye on the mission objectives. Some require you to finish with a specific "Ougi" (Special Move) or within a time limit to count toward the unlock.

Method 3: The Cheat Code Shortcut (Unlock All Characters Instantly)

For players who do not want to spend 15+ hours grinding the Soul Carnival, there is a well-documented Action Replay / CWCheat code for the PSP. If you are playing on an actual PSP with custom firmware (CFW) or on an emulator like PPSSPP, you can input the "Unlock All Characters" code.

Soul Carnival Mode unlocks: Hidden characters found in the board-game style mode.

Certain nodes are marked with a "New Character" icon or reward.
Upon clearing a specific node, the character becomes available for purchase in the shop or is added directly to your roster.
