Hell

Hell is a place where Hollows are sent if their former lives were evil. The zanpakutō of a shinigami can only cleanse spirits of the sins they committed as a Hollow. If the spirit committed heinous crimes as a Human, it will not be sent to Soul Society, but through the Gates of Hell.

The Gates of Hell are chained shut and adorned with the bandaged head and torso of a skeleton on each door. The arms of both skeletons are positioned at an angle to pull the gates open when it is summoned. There appears to be some sort of demon inside that pierces the soul entering with a blade.
