I cannot read all that sorry it's a single block format. Please learn to use Paragraph structures. But I will try to speak on hell and stuff.

There were a lot of inconsistencies developed later in Bleach. If you check out our Podcasts, you will see that upon reviewing the Chapter that the Fullbringers appeared in SS, Salubri and I were not happy bunnies. Kugo and Giriko especially were full blown admitted murderers.

When we look at Shrieker and what we learnt from his arc that while a Zanpakuto can cleanse the sins of a Hollow, which is usually born from the lonely rejected emotions of a normal Plus, it cannot wipe away what the Soul did when alive. Thus the Gates of Hell appear.

I have never been happy with how Hell was later brought up and changed for, if I am going to critique the reasons, for nothing more than a cash grab. When they had Arrancar appear in Hell just to "show" how powerful those beings were, I was incensed. I was younger then but my feelings were valid.

Arrancars, especially Espada, were Hollows that often times were meant to be born from a Menos. Menos were created from Hollows eating Hollows and creating a big "super" Hollow. Depending on their level they can become Adjuchas or Vasto Lorde when one Hollow becomes dominant; and later can Arrancar naturally or with Aizen's aid.

That fact that these beings appeared in Hell as they were made no sense to me. Wouldn't the many Hollows, and thus Souls, in a single Gillian-class Arrancar be cleansed?

And then yes people who were murderers while alive appearing in SS after dying was a further inconsistency. But I think it all started to become...less sensible after they made that hell movie. Which is why I will always see it as a worse movie than the other awful movie that changed Rukia's history, or tried to. That Hell one messed with the continuity that was meant to make sense until that point.

But we have to work with what we have and there's a lot of souls that go unseen, many who get lost as Blanks and many that are in Hell or HM or SS or the Real world.
