Forum:Gigai

So i kno they are a form of respite for soul reapers to regenerate their powers, but what happens if they need to stay in it for years? Does the gigai grow and age?

[obviously if their power was that low they would get pulled back to the spirit world] but what would happen if nobody knew they were there in a gigai? Like could somoeone who is unknown get a gigai and live in it and build up their powers? --G3N3T1C 12:35, September 16, 2009 (UTC)

I wouldn't think they'd age- the shinigami don't really age much either, so it'd be inconvenient if they changed while you didn't and they ceased matching. Normally at least, Rukia's was supposed to turn her into a human, so it would. Probably Nemu too (at least at Soul Reaper aging rate). So maybe they do... of course, you'd almost never use them for years on a stretch anyway, a few months was unusual.

I doubt a non-powered person being in a gigai would give them power. It's an item to rest and recover, but it doesn't increase battle power or pull spirit energy towards you or anything. I think it's basically like giving your spirit 'muscles' a break.ZeroSD 12:51, September 16, 2009 (UTC)
