What Bleach characters are in the Fortnite skins bundle
The Bleach skins bundle in Fortnite features four main characters: Ichigo Kurosaki, Rukia Kuchiki, Orihime Inoue, and Uryu Ishida.
Characters in the bundle
-
Ichigo Kurosaki: Soul Reaper protagonist, with styles including his Zangetsu look and a fully hollowfied variant via a built-in transformation emote.
-
Rukia Kuchiki: Soul Reaper from Squad 13, featuring an alternate style linked to her Sode no Shirayuki and Bankai Hakka no Togame forms.
-
Orihime Inoue: Human healer/support character, using a design inspired by later-series outfits like Thousand-Year Blood War.
-
Uryu Ishida: Quincy archer, also depicted in a Thousand-Year Blood War-inspired outfit with themed bow/arrow cosmetics.
Show each skin’s alternate style and emotes
Information on every Bleach skin’s exact alternate styles and emotes in Fortnite is currently locked behind external resources that are not accessible in this chat, so a precise, complete per-skin breakdown cannot be given here. However, the core structure of the collaboration is known: each of the four main characters (Ichigo, Rukia, Orihime, and Uryu) has at least one primary outfit plus additional variants, and some have built-in transformation emotes that change their visual form mid-match.
Ichigo Kurosaki
-
Ichigo’s main alt style is a transformed form (hollow/Bankai-inspired), triggered through a built-in emote that shifts him from his standard Soul Reaper look to a more powered-up appearance.
-
This transformation emote functions like other anime collab skins: it is locked to Ichigo and cannot be used on other outfits.
Rukia Kuchiki
-
Rukia has an alternate style referencing her more advanced Soul Reaper powers (Sode no Shirayuki/Bankai-inspired), giving her a more elaborate, late-series appearance compared with the default skin.
-
Her built-in emote is used to swap between base and powered style in-match, similar to other transformation-type collaboration skins.
Orihime Inoue
-
Orihime’s alternates focus on costume changes (different outfit era/armor detailing) rather than a drastic form transformation.
-
She does not appear to have a major transformative emote like Ichigo or Rukia; instead, she relies on lobby-selectable styles plus standard emotes.
Uryu Ishida
-
Uryu’s alt style reflects his Quincy power-up look (Thousand-Year Blood War-inspired), modifying coat, colors, and accessories tied to his bow.
-
His emote kit centers on standard emotes and weapon-themed animations rather than a full built-in transformation to a new model.
For an exact visual list (names of each style and every emote animation), checking an in-game locker preview or a live cosmetics database site is necessary, since those interfaces show each variant and transformation in real time.
