Bankai Progression is something in Type Soul that you must know if you plan to become a Soul Reaper. This game is based on the Bleach manga and anime series. A lot of the powers you unlock here are similar to how they worked in the show. This especially applies to Bankai and the fight you need to win to get it. But before that, there is an NPC who you need to talk to whose dialogue changes based on how much you have completed the tasks. As there is a lot you need to do, let us quickly check it out.

How Bankai Progression and Stages Work in Type Soul
You need to defeat your Bankai to unlock it. Make sure you also reach the Elite Grade, because it isn’t possible without it. There are 4 stages to this process:
Stage 1 – Type Soul Bankai Progression Dialogues
To complete the first stage you need to win:
- Clan Wars x7
- Raids x13
- Ranked Matches x20
After you are done this is what you do next:
- Go to the Karakura town.
- Head to the farm area where you can find two warehouses.
- Go inside the left one and talk to the NPC “V – Unequaled, Unrivaled”.
- Depending on if and how much you have completed the above 3 tasks he can say one of these dialogues:
- 0% progression: You will never become anything, compared to what I am
- 20% progression: A couple of kills won’t get you anywhere, stop bothering me
- 40% progression: Why do you keep coming back? You’re still pathetic
- 60% progression: Maybe you’re not so bad after all, but I’m still not impressed
- 80% progression: You’re quite unbelievable, you know that?
- 100% progression: Unequaled… Unrivalled. Go make me proud, lil bro
Stage 2
To complete stage 2 you need:
- Elite Grips x15
- Defeat 1 Bawabawa or 1 Jidanbo (boss)
- Defeat 80 Hollows
After you complete them, here is what you do next:
- Go to the Karakura Town again.
- Find Kisuke. You can check our detailed guide for it here.
- Talk to him and he will ask you “Are you ready to discover your Zanpakuto”.
- Here, choose “I Am”.
This will start the next step.
Stage 2.5
You now get teleported to an area where you can find several swords sprouting out of the ground. You can pick any random sword. If it is the right one it glows blue. You can also see random dialogues floating around the screen like “Continue your search” or “Find me with Haste, I am You”. Do this two more times. In case you pick the wrong sword it turns red and breaks. However, pay attention to the trail that follows after it breaks. This will lead you to the right sword.
Stage 3
Finally, for the third stage. Meditate to meet your Bankai. The goal is to fight and beat it in battle. This fight is going to be difficult so it is okay if you lose the first time. You can also expect to battle it a few times before unlocking it. The Bankai and their moves change for everyone so there is no single right way to defeat it. Just make sure you fight slowly and focus on dodging as much as possible. You can even spam moves from a distance.
After you defeat your Bankai you will finally get your own Bankai in Type Soul. Hopefully, all of this effort was worth it. However, if you get a Bankai that you don’t like you can always Wipe and start over. Be sure to also check our guides for Quincy and Hollow progressions if you decide to change your race.
