Talk:Shinigami

A Few Tips
In this Wiki we use "Shinigami" not "Soul Reaper(s)" if you see Soul Reaper(s) in an article please change it. If and article such as this one has internal links like Main article: Gotei 13 or others please verify those articles before you add any new info that way we do not have multiple pages that say the ssme thing.WhiteStrike 21:27, 23 July 2008 (UTC)

A Simple Question
Just as the title says, my question: where do shinigamis go when they die?
 * Their reincarnated back in the living world like all souls. Salubri 23:29, 9 June 2009 (UTC)
 * I dont think they do. I thought that Kaien told Rukia that soul reapers become part of the matter that makes up all the objects and buildings in the soul society. Thats why he said he never wanted her to die alone, because nobody could see her again.--Kylecharmed 18:56, 22 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Urahara stated that they are reborn to the Human World in order to maintain the balance. They are no different from regular souls in that sense. RecklessFire 19:22, 23 July 2009 (UTC)

Exile?
I'm pretty sure Yoruichi was never exiled. For one, in TBTP she was never punished and secondly she was able to enter the Soul Society while Urahara, tho only shinigami to be stated as exiled, was unable to do so. If she had been exiled, she would be unable to enter. RecklessFire 19:20, 23 July 2009 (UTC)

Yoruichi is in exile but in her case its a self imposed exile she left her previous life behind figuring they would no doubt realize it was her who saved urahara, tessai and the vizard from judgment and she would get in trouble. Although she was not formally exiled she left soul society of her own will for all purposes.Salubri 20:43, 23 July 2009 (UTC)


 * Wouldn't that make it abandonment? Exile is defined as being away from one's home (i.e. city, state or country) while either being explicitly refused permission to return and/or being threatened by prison or death upon return. It's not exactly something that can be self-imposed, per se. So unless it was directly stated somewhere in the manga that she was exiled, you cannot classify her as such. It's a semantics issue, but it is still rather valid. RecklessFire 03:32, 24 July 2009 (UTC)

Your starting a pointless argument its not abandonment, considering she would have gotten in trouble for aiding in the escape of prisoner's and defying the law. She left for the very reason you give all she abandoned where her titles and positions. if exile isnt something that can be self imposed then the term wouldn't exist.Salubri 03:41, 24 July 2009 (UTC)


 * It's never implied that anyone knew what she had done. Soifon never knew, she simply wondered why she left, and she was her bodyguard. Given the reactions of her return, one has to assume the case to be that no one knew. Exile can still exist if not self-imposed, because a government can still impose it, obviously making it not self-imposed.RecklessFire 04:03, 24 July 2009 (UTC)

Which goes back the point of self imposed exile, she exiled herself from her former life on the bases that they would find out it was her, as she stated to urahara after saving him, she implied they would find out. The fact that they may not have doesn't really matter. She was gone for 100 years they didn't exile her she exiled herself.Salubri 04:15, 24 July 2009 (UTC)
