Soul Society





What is the soul society?
Soul Society (尸魂界 (ソウル・ソサエティ), Souru Sosaeti; Japanese for "Dead Spirit World") is an afterlife (also called the spirit world). This is also where Shinigami live and where most Souls dwell until they are reincarnated into the Human World.
Where is the soul society?
Seireitei is the city at the center of Soul Society where the Shinigami live. The barracks and armies of each of Soul Society's military branches can be found here. Rukongai is the area surrounding Seireitei in Soul Society, where most souls dwell until they are reincarnated into the Human World.
How do people die in Soul Society?
A soul that dies in Soul Society is reincarnated on Earth as a new Human with no past memories. ... souls can "escape" this cycle by turning into hollows and entering Hueco Mundo (or god knows which new worlds Bleach will come up with). Souls can be exterminated permanently by Quincy: Quincy completely extinguish Hollows.
What happens if one dies in Soul Society?
In Bleach, Soul Society represents this sort of Heaven where souls are sent by Shinigamis (mostly from Earth?). However, once in Soul Society, is a soul immortal? Can they die? And if so, what happens? Is one sent to..... Hueco Mundo?
The Human World and Soul Society are parallel to each other and are two sides of the same coin. Families separated by death are rarely reunited in the Soul Society unless they arrive in Soul Society together. People live nestled together like a family of strangers. One never gets hungry (if she or he doesn't have spiritual powers) and aging is slowed to a great extent, with lifespans of 2000 or more years not being unheard of, though such ages are limited to Shinigami or other Soul Society dwellers with high spiritual power.
A soul that dies in Soul Society is reincarnated on Earth as a new Human with no past memories.
However, given the huge difference in lifespan, Soul Society should accumulate souls and the Human World should run out of souls...
souls can "escape" this cycle by turning into hollows and entering Hueco Mundo (or god knows which new worlds Bleach will come up with). Souls can be exterminated permanently by Quincy:
extinguish Hollows. Thus the souls that come to the Human World do not return to Soul Society and therefore the souls would increase only on the side of the Human World. Meaning, the Human World becomes heavy in souls causing Soul Society to spill over into it; mixing life and death. The ultimate result would be the end of the world.
Are Soul Reapers human?
Soul Reapers can only be seen by other spiritually aware beings, which excludes most humans. Additionally, they can be injured and die like regular humans yet can resist most injuries unless considerably great. All Soul Reapers possess a zanpakutō (斬魄刀, lit.
