Togabito

The are a species of spiritual beings that are imprisoned in Hell for crimes that they committed when they were alive.

Overview
The soul of a dead Human normally passes on to the Soul Society with the assistance of a Shinigami. However, Humans that lived lives full of sin - including those that become Hollows after dying - are incapable of entering the Soul Society. Instead, they are sent into the depths of Hell, where they are bound by indestructible chains and condemned for the rest of eternity. Under ordinary circumstances, these Togabito are incapable of leaving their prison, for they are constantly watched over by Kushanada, the guardian of Hell. However, some Togabito are capable of leaving Hell and entering the Human World. Some Togabito possess immense amounts of power, which can surpass that of even an Espada.

Appearance
All Togabito have the same clothing, which is a black cloak with white rectangular buttons, draped across their entire bodies, concealing their physical makeup. Also, the Togabito share the same mask, which is light bulb-shaped and split off diagonally with the color of black and white. It is also noted that Togabito have an entirely different attire whilst in Hell, although the purpose of which is unknown.

Powers & Abilities
Augmented Powers: A Togabito's abilities are considerably more powerful than those of its original form. As a Togabito, Shrieker was faster and stronger than his original Hollow form. In addition, he possessed enhanced versions of his Hollow abilities.

Enhanced Speed: The Togabito are seen to utilise a variant of high-speed movement. This is shown to be fast enough to catch an Espada off guard, as well as to effectively dodge his attacks.

Energy Blasts: The Togabito Taikon was able to fire purple energy blasts powerful enough to push back an Espada in its Resurrección form.

Note: Although the Togabito featured below have unusually strong abilities, the majority of Togabito situated in Hell are considerably weak, as they are preyed upon by the Hell Guardians for this weakness. Also, the weaker Togabito are seen to have a physical appearance similar to that of a mummy, as they are wrapped in bandages, and as such, do not have any visible chains or appendages sticking out from their bodies.
