Valley of Screams

The is a dimension that forms between the Human World and the Soul Society, stemmed from the Dangai.

Overview
Its appearance is a regular occurrence that happens naturally due to souls getting lost trying to get to Soul Society and as such, can only be accessed from the Human World. The valley bears a resemblance to the underground Training Area created by Kisuke Urahara, only the size of it is on a worldly scale. The valley is primarily a rocky area with many canyons and mountains.

Blanks resided in this place, separated from their memories. The memories merge into the Shinenju and return to the real world. The Blanks remain incomplete until they come in contact with the Shinenju and become whole again.

Subsequent to their expulsion from Soul Society, the Dark Ones claimed this to be their homeland until they would invade Soul Society and take their revenge.

The Valley of Screams eventually expands to a point where it connects Soul Society and the Human World, allowing a town in the latter to be seen from the former. The Onmitsukidō is sent inside to investigate but the mission is declared a failure. As a result, Captain Toshiro Hitsugaya is assigned to investigate from the real world.

Aiming to fulfill their need for revenge for their exile from Soul Society over a millennium prior, the Dark Ones attempt to collapse this dimension in order to force Soul Society and the Human World to collide, destroying both worlds in the process.
