User blog comment:Transcendency/Some theory on the Hougyoku/@comment-10371091-20140711220911/@comment-25065646-20150612143154

Just read this once again after almost another year of manga development. I think your idea with Soul King being a mass of Hougyoku/ 'ocean' of souls could prove to be pretty accurate (especially having seen those little black eyeball things literally flowing out of him, they could be like some kind of 'natural hougyoku'/smaller portions of collective souls that make up the Soul King together). Probably soon we will know more.
