Eventually, Hollows became a part of the circulation of souls.' Swaying and swaying slowly this waning and waxing world waited for a hundred million years to cool down. There was neither life nor death progression and regression flickered to and fro. 'During that age, all of creation was in a state of ambiguity. The first Soul King was a powerful being from 100 million years ago when the Bleach universe was apparently just beginning: The Soul King is whatever is being used as the current lynchpin to hold the worlds together in existence however, I will explain the first Soul King, the one we saw in the manga and the novel who is the crux of the matter. Let us begin (in the passage I will be posting, the Soul King is referred by it's name in romaji, 'Rei-o'.)įor starters, the Soul King is a title. Those questions were answered in Volume 3 of Bleach: 'Can't Fear Your Own World' with a whole section dedicated to the reveal of the history and lore of Bleach's beginning.įor this thread I will set out to explain what the Soul King is, how the Soul King manipulates the worlds (manipulation of souls?), what the Soul King manipulates and who scales to this. Thus we waited a couple years to see if there would be more information about the Soul King and it's purpose as it was still a topic of discussion with little material to review with tons of questions to be asked. However, this was latter disproven as the Soul King simply manipulated the souls of the world which would cause an imbalance to the worlds of Bleach and thus cause them end.

In fact, the 5-B definitely is a misnomer, it appears to be a lot higher than that. It is that time to discuss the reveals of the Soul King, it's purpose, what it is, what it does and how it effects Yhwach when he absorbed the Soul King into himself.
