The Bleach GC series is a two-installment series of fighting games based on the anime and manga Bleach. Both installments were developed by Polygon Magic and published by Sega. Despite the name, the "GC" standing for "GameCube," the series features one game on the GameCube while the other is playable on the Wii.

Bleach GC: Tasogare ni Mamieru Shinigami (BLEACH GC 黄昏にまみえる死神) is the first installment in the Bleach GC series. The game was released only in Japan on December 8 2005. It features gameplay similar to the Power Stone series, and traditional 2D fighting games.
Wii
Bleach: Shattered Blade
Bleach: Shattered Blade, originally published as Bleach Wii Hakujin Kirameku Rondo (BLEACH Wii 白刃きらめく輪舞曲(ロンド), lit. "Bleach Wii: The Drawn Sword's Glittering Rondo") in Japan, is the second installment in the Bleach GC series. The game was released in Japan on December 14 2006[1] and in North America on October 10 2007,[1] with a European release planned in early 2008. Although the anime outside Japan has not yet reached the point in the series, the game will be a direct port of the Japanese version for American and European consumers.
A new character has been designed specifically for this game, an arrancar named Arturo Plateado (アルトゥロ・プラチアド, Aruturo Purateado, lit. Silver Arthur in Spanish). The character's appearance is similar to that of Grimmjow Jeagerjaques', though Arturo's hair and hollow remains, which also take the form of half a jaw bone like Grimmjow's, are fairly longer. Unlike most other arrancar, Arturo was self-made. Arturo can also disguise himself as anything from Gotei 13 captains to zanpakutō spirits. He once raided Soul Society, but was sealed beneath Sōkyoku Hill by the shinigami 2000 years prior to the start of Bleach. When the Sōkyoku was destroyed during Ichigo Kurosaki's rescue of Rukia Kuchiki, the seal placed on Arturo was broken and he was freed.
