Chapter 3

(Post D-stabilized, before PP.)

So Dominic began to explain. He was a member of a race of spiritual beings called Soul Reapers, who use their special swords called Zanpakutō that have a spirit tied to the life of the Soul Reaper, who can use special abilities, shikai being the simpler one, bankai being rarer but far more powerful, to both send the spirits of the deceased to a realm known as "Soul Society", a place basically equivalent to heaven, and exorcise the evil spirits known as "Hollows", like the one Danny encountered earlier.

He explained about the unpleasant process of becoming a Hollow, how they eat human souls to try to fill the void inside them, and how when a Soul Reaper defeats a Hollow, if they hadn't committed violent crimes in life, they were sent to the Soul Society as well. If they had committed such acts, the Hollow would instead be dragged into the Underworld, also known as Hell, to be punished for all eternity. He also explained the different classes of Menos

He also explained about the Chain of Fate that binds the living body and the soul together, and that Soul Reapers, Hollows and regular spirits could only be seen by someone with a sufficiently high level of spiritual energy, which, ironically, makes them targets for Hollows.

He explained about the Soul Society and the recent events, like the Bounts, the betrayal of former captain Aizen, the arrancar, etc. always being quick to try to placate Danny when he learned about the Quicies and other such incidents.

After he finished, he leaned forward, and asked Danny who he was.
