Race Info

Shinigami
Shinigami, "death god(s)"; Viz "Soul Reaper(s)" are guardians of the souls who are going through the circle of transmigration. Namely, they are "balancers." They exterminate Hollows who do evil in the World of the living; they ensure the safe crossing of souls - the Pluses who have lost their way after death - by giving them a soul burial.

Hollow
Hollow are a race of creatures which are born from Human souls who, for various reasons, do not cross over to Soul Society after their death and stay in the Human World for too long. They are corrupt spirits with supernatural powers that devour the souls of both living and deceased Humans. Hollows settle in Hueco Mundo, but can cross over to the Human World and Soul Society.

Vaizard
The Visored pronounced in English as "VIGH-zurhd". Originally thought to be translated as Vizard (masked army), is a group of Shinigami that have acquired Hollow powers. Following the battle at the Fake Karakura Town, they have become central combatants against Sōsuke Aizen's Espada and Aizen himself.

Arrancar
An Arrancar, Spanish for "To Tear Off", Japanese for "Ripped Mask" is a Hollow that has removed its mask and has gained Shinigami-like powers.

Bount
The Bounts are a group of Humans that live by consuming Human souls (Pluses), as well as Shinigami and Quincy souls which potentially increases their abilities.

Fullbring
Fullbringers, "Full Manifestation Artist" are spiritually-aware Humans born with the eponymous ability Fullbring, which allows them to manipulate the souls that reside in all physical matter. Their powers are constituted by Hollow Reiryoku.

Quincy
The Quincy, "Monk of Destruction" in modern terms, they were Human mediums, having the ability to detect the existence of Hollows. It all started when they began to training to confront them in order to defeat Hollows, the same as Shinigami do. Most of the Quincy were destroyed by the Shinigami over 200 years ago in order to prevent the destruction of the world.
