The role and purpose of Shinigami is discussed and taught. Hollows, Quincy, and other significant species as they relate to the Shinigami's duties are introduced.
Duties
World of the Living
- Konso: The process by which a Shinigami sends wandering Pluses in the Human World to Soul Society if they are good in life or Hell if their life was full of evil acts (such as murders, theft, etc.). Konso is performed by using the hilt of the Shinigami's Zanpakuto, tapping the soul on their forehead and transporting them to the afterlife.
- Hollow Cleansing: When a Shinigami slays a Hollow with their Zanpakutō, they cleanse their sins. Once this takes place, a Hollow will return to its former state as a Plus and is led into Soul Society. This is called sublimation. Souls that live in Soul Society are reborn again into the Human World. Not all Hollows are sent to the Soul Society. Since Zanpakutō are only capable of cleansing sins committed after becoming a Hollow, Hollows that committed serious crimes when they were still Human are sent to Hell when they are slain.
- Soul Governance: Shinigami are responsible for governing the flow of spirits between the Human World and Soul Society. This is commonly carried out by balancing the total number of souls by moving and managing them in the Human world. All of the soul-related jobs are under their authority.
- Quincies: If by some miracle if a Soul Reaper was to encounter a Quincy, exterminate them.
Soul Society
- Policing: Most Shinigami, regardless of what division, wind up policing the Seireitei for one reason or another.
- Investigation: It is not uncommon for Shinigami to be sent to investigate mishaps within the Seireitei, again, regardless of what division you are in.
- Guards: The Gotei 13 is notorious for letting Nobles buy out several squad members and even Captains to protect them for certain reasons.
