At first bleachShinigami Rukia Kuchiki explains the basic structure of the series' cosmology and explores why beings like herself exist and the balancing role Shinigami plays in maintaining the universe's current form. Soon after, in an alternate Shinigami arc, the series introduces the Quincies and their near annihilation at the hands of the Shinigami.

at thousand year blood clot In the arc, we learn how this structure, which features three main areas, came to be, and the heinous actions taken to maintain it. Below is a basic explanation of the structure of the zone. bleachCreated by Soul King Adnyeus himself.

At first

separation of life and death

In the beginning, the universe consisted simply of primordial water, a chaotic environment where life and death were one and the same. At some point, Adnyeus, a being who became known as the King of Spirits, used his powers to create order from chaos, transforming this primordial world into three separate worlds inhabited by different types of spirits. By dividing it into areas, we also created the cycle of life. And death as we know it. The three realms he created were the human world (or world of the living); Hueco Mundo, inhabited by lost souls known as Hollows, and the afterlife known as Soul Society. In the gap between the realms lies an empty dimension called Dangai, also known as the Cliff World. A corridor-like dimension connecting the human world and spirit society, separated in space and time, forming part of the larger void that exists between the realms known as the Garganta (derived from the Spanish word “throat”, but in writing). with atege, which can be read as “black hole”).

Garganta's Reishi are very unstable and generally do not form permanent structures like Soul Society or Hueco Mundo. However, it is possible for a space called the Valley of Screams to be created. These are dangai-derived spaces that vary in size and are made up of souls released from the cycle of reincarnation. Interestingly, the original story makes no mention of how Hell, introduced in the first issue, is connected to the trifurcation of this realm. However, in the case of Narita Ryōgo You can't be afraid of your own world In the novel, it is revealed that one of the reasons Adnyeus created the living world was so that it could serve as a lid over Hell. This means that Hell clearly predates the creation of the realms. at no breath in hell In a one-off, we learn that Hell has a relationship with the three realms. Because the amount of reiatsu in Hell must be balanced with the amount found in all three realms. Otherwise, the denizens of Hell may open the lid. We're told it involves the deceased captain of the Gotei 13.

Differences by BLEACH area

• human world/living world

As you might expect, the human world, or the world of the living, is the realm where souls, also known as pluses, incarnate. They live a human life, and when that life ends, their souls are brought back to Soul Society to await another cycle of reincarnation. If the soul cannot return to Soul Society, there is a risk of corruption. He is attacked by Hollows, formerly human souls who have succumbed to despair and become monsters characterized by the emptiness of the soul, symbolized by holes. somewhere on their body; Or by giving in to despair and other negative emotions themselves. Of course, the human world is where Karakura is. A place where supernatural events occur with eerie frequency due to its presence in JureichThis is the area with the highest concentration of spiritual beings.

It is a passage connecting the human world and Hueco Mundo, Hueco Mundo and Soul Society, and forms part of the void called Garganta. This part of the world is a separate dimension where time flows differently, once every seven days, and non-spiritual beings known as Kototsu. Also known as scavengers, these substances pass through the corridors, removing debris, preventing the space from being used as a base of activity by spiritual beings or enemies of Soul Society. Anything caught in Kōtotsu's path is trapped in the void by the surging currents of high-density current flowing within the Dangai and Kōtotsu itself. The danger it poses is so great that certain measures are taken to avoid passing through Dangai in the presence of Kōtotsu. However, Sōsuke Aizen destroyed it and came out unscathed.

In the dimension known as Hueco Mundo, there exists a plane called Hueco Mundo, which exists between the human world and spirit society and is characterized by endless nights and white sandy beaches stretching far in all directions. There is nothing in Hueco Mundo, but it is made up of concentrated reishi. As with the powerful souls of Soul Society, the stronger Hollows are not satisfied with these fiefs in the atmosphere, so they must fill the void by feeding on other souls, whether Hollows or Pluses. Hueco Mundo is connected to the human world by the Dangai, but Hollows, especially the more powerful ones, and Arrancar use the Garganta to travel between realms. Interestingly, “Hueco Mundo”, like all other concepts related to Hollows, is derived from the Spanish word. However, it is written with Chinese characters meaning “cavity” or “hole” and Chinese characters meaning “zone” or “sphere”, continuing the theme of emptiness associated with empty space.

afterlife bleachIt is home to spiritual beings such as the Shinigami and the souls of regular humans, not to mention the mutilated Soul King who was attacked by the ancestors of the five noble families of the Shinigami and became the core of the Three Worlds. It is because of the Soul King's mutilation that the realm maintains its current form, and the Soul King must be eliminated. As if that person went in Bleach: Thousand Year Blood War Part 3Episode 2, then the realms will quickly merge, returning the universe to a state of primordial chaos.

The goal is to maintain the current structure of the realms, with the Reapers acting as “balancers”, ensuring that no realm has more souls than another, purifying the void and ensuring that they too can return to the cycle. The fact that the Quincies extinguish the souls of Hollows makes their existence a threat to the fabric of the universe, which is how the Shinigami justified their previous conflict against the Quincies and their subsequent near-extermination.
