Hueco Mundo 

 

Is the dimension where Hollows reside. It lies in between the world of the living and the Soul Society. 
A large portion of Hueco Mundo is covered by a desert, a silent world of death. An unchanging night

covers the sky; an endless white desert covers the ground. 


The landscape of Hueco Mundo is a seemingly never-ending white desert, with a multitude of dunes.

The desert is littered with what appear to be boulders and shriveled trees, but these are actually a

form of quartz. In Hueco Mundo, the moon is on the opposite lunar phase of that in the Human World. The vast desert also seems to lack any bodies of water and contains rocky formations. Like in Soul Society, the atmosphere is filled with a high concentration of spiritual energy, thus allowing smaller Hollows to gain nourishment despite the lack of Human souls. 


Like that in real world deserts, active life in Hueco Mundo appears to be few and far between. Hollows generally seem to dwell below the surface or in other areas until something provokes them to leave their shelter, like the intrusion of a foreign entity. According to the Soul Reapers, all Hollows dwell in Hueco Mundo regardless of their shape, size, or power. 

 

Accessing Hueco Mundo 
Hueco Mundo is located between the Human world and Soul Society, though it is separated from the bordering dimension known as Dangai. It can only be accessed via Garganta, which tears the dimensional fabric separating the worlds, allowing Hollows to travel to any other dimension at will. 


Government 
Hueco Mundo has no formal government. In Hueco Mundo the strongest being wields power, though even if there is no particular leader or organization Hueco Mundo runs as usual.

landscape above ground. 

 

 

 


 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Las Noches

Is the fortress located in Hueco Mundo. Las Noches is a massive fortress which can be seen for miles. It consists of a main building with a domed center surrounded by several large towers and smaller buildings. Atop the dome are five smaller towers, which appear to contain areas such as a throne room and a meeting hall. Like everything else in Hueco Mundo, the main building is colored white. 
The inside of Las Noches' dome simulates the blue sky of the Human world. The position of the halls within the palace can also be adjusted, allowing the one operating them to direct the movements of intruders. 

 

 

Hell 

 

Is a place where Hollows are sent if their former lives were evil. The Zanpakuto of a Soul Reaper can only cleanse spirits of the sins they committed as a Hollow. If the spirit committed heinous crimes as a Human, it will not be sent to Soul Society, but through the Gates of Hell. 
The Gates of Hell are chained shut and adorned with the bandaged head and torso of a skeleton on each door. The arms of both skeletons are positioned at an angle to pull the gates open when it is summoned. 


On the inside, the Gates appear to be prevented from opening fully by two thick ropes with charms attached to them. The face and left arm of a large demonic creature can be seen behind the Gates.  It’s unclear if the ropes are intended to keep this creature inside. It has armour plating on its upper arm and it wields a blade. Its left arm and face are covered in tattoos resembling tribal markings. The demon skewers the Hollow entering Hell with its blade and pulls it through the Gates, while laughing. The Gates then close and the entire structure cracks and crumbles into nothing. 


The spiritual inhabitants of Hell are known as Togabito. Hell can, under the right circumstances, lend its power to a person granting them golden armour decorated with skull symbols known as Skull-Clad Form. 

 

The First Level  
The First Level of Hell features a multitude of white blocks floating in

mid-air amongst a series of blue pathways. It is on this level that

many of the dejected Togabito reside, having given up on resistance.

At the edge of the blue pathway is a gaping abyss, through which the

next level can be accessed.
 
Second Level

The Second Level of Hell is mostly composed of a large body of water.

Within this large expanse of water, are a multitude of stone water lilies

, in the center of which lies a pierced skeleton of a guardian of Hell.

The body of water can also be navigated through, and ultimately

leads to the third level. 

 

The Third Level
The Third Level of Hell is a rocky, barren landscape with various craters

àin which yellow lava forms. After the rocky landscape is cleared, there

is a narrow passageway lit with the dim lighting from various shrines. 
 
Fourth Level

The Fourth Level of Hell starts off with a hilly area in which there are a multitude of small domes jutting out of the ground. From the opening in the face of a cliff, a thundering waterfall with the yellow lava rains down around it. The sand which emits trace amounts of reiatsu is comprised of the crushed bones of millions of Togabito who turned to ash due to the hopelessness of their predicament. This section then crosses over into a giant skeleton resembling the ones which make up the Gates of Hell. This overlooks a pit of lava, which has the ability to resurrect killed Togabito. Around the skeletal structure, are a series of pillars and a set of stone fingers. 

 

The Lowermost Level
 The Lowermost Level of Hell is composed of a black landscape, with many irregular columns covered in veins of lava jutting out from the ground. The guardians of Hell are capable of materializing from within these lava columns. Lightning strikes are a frequent occurrence here. There are also withered trees composed of bones littered across the landscape.
