being born in Soul Society

[k3nni]

i remember the earlier eps when they first got to soul society, well the outer cities. they said that people dont age, and such, but how were rukia and the others born in soul society, and if not how did they age? that was something that i have been wondering about

[joshua-kun]

I though about that but I could not come up with an answer so I gave up.

[hempboy]

I thought rukia and the others were commoners who died and studied the arts of soul reapers in soul society

[swinburne188]

i thought only dead people live in soul society, so i think rukia must have died when she was a little kid.

[akiraguy]

i found it funny, shinigami is a normal person b4 they became shinigami. so they are bound to death too as shinigami. as i was saying, where do they go after the are dead as shinigami: heaven? hell? or back to humans. soo if back to humans, would it be just a cycle? i mean when did it ends?

[crawler]

well there seems to be a cycle of sorts so any one dying in the soul sociaty is proberly reborn in another world

[Deadparrot]

don't think anyone is born in soul society, but the aging bothers me too. I get how the shinigami can get scars and outwardly change that way, but not the aging bit.

[padfoot_]

hm..i thought rukia might have died when she was a kid, but how did abarai renji age??
he was a little boy when he used to hang out with Rukia before they admitted into the academy right? and he sort of....grew taller since, while rukia did not change.

and i think when shinigamis die..they end up whr hollows end up when they die?
gettig reborn?

[V.Kakashi]

it could be that renji and rukia died but then it still makes no sense. they were shown as kids n couple years they where grown ups. but if you look at youricho she 200 years old or somethin like that but she looks like some1 whos 24 or somethin. they need to explain that part very good of the aging and stuff

[coulumon3]

They could have died when they were a child. That'll explain their childish appearance.
