Hollow Physiology (Bleach)

## Summary

**Hollows** (虚 (ホロウ), *Horō*) 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 which 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. Hollows are the opposite of Humans.

**Arrancar** (破面 (アランカル), *Arankaru*; Spanish for "*To Tear Off*", Japanese for "*Ripped Mask*") is a Hollow that has removed its mask and has gained Shinigami-like powers.

### **Low/High-Tier Hollow:**

This rating is given out to all Hollows, ranging from Regular Hollows to Vasto Lorde.

Example: Fishbone D and Grand-Fisher.

* **Absorption**/**Statistics Amplification** (Soul: When Hollows consume other souls that soul “Melts” together into the Hollow’s Soul, increasing the Hollow's Reiryoku)

* **Spatial Manipulation** (Hollows can tear/hold Space open, The opening of Garganta’s have shown to cause space around them to distort)

* **Light Manipulation**/**Explosion Manipulation**/**Heat Manipulation** (Menos Grande and above can create/shoot out Ceros, beams of condense Reiryoku which are directly stated to be a "Bright stream of light", these Ceros explode on contact and burn things as well)

* **Limited Matter Absorption** (Hollows passively absorb the Reishi within Reishi-Enriched environments)

* **Corruption** (Type 2: which causes **Poison Manipulation**/**Power Reduction**/**Death Manipulation**) (Hollow's Existence/Reiryoku is inherently poisonous to those without antibodies against them, just being around them causes these people's Souls to erode away and die, as well as causing their spiritual powers to decrease)

* **Sealing**/**Soul Manipulation** (Hollows can push people's souls out of their body without damaging their physical form/They can also seal away these Souls into other objects/beings as well)

* **Berserk Mode** (Most Gillian-Class Menos and below don’t possess the ability to think or reason, instead only relying on their instinct and hunger)

* **Possible Limited Pain Manipulation** (Hollow’s attacks are implied to cause more pain compared to other relative injuries)

### Low/High-Tier Arrancar:

This rating is given out to all Arrancar's, ranging from Fracciones and Espada.

Example: Findor and Baraggan.

All Previous Abilities Except Berserk Mode:

* **Awakened Power** (Hollows gain the powers of Soul Reapers after they physically remove their mask)

* **BFR**/**Limited Sealing**/**Light Manipulation** (Negacion is a technique Menos Grande-Class Hollows and above can use, this technique creates a light-like construct that encases others inside it, this construct can't be damaged in anyway and forcefully transports those inside into a ‘Different World” like Hueco Mundo)

* **Limited Self-Sealing**/**Statistics Amplification**/**Self-Damage Reduction** (Arrancar's seal away the bulk majority of their power within Zanpakuto's, These Zanpaktou's can be released to grant them their true form and power, Bala’s are weaker than Ceros but are 20x’s faster than Ceros)

* **Damage Boost** (Ceros can become Gran-Ray Cero through introducing the user’s blood to them when forming a regular Cero, Cero Oscuras increases its own power by a order of magnitude when fired)

* **Pocket Reality Manipulation**/**Enhanced Offensive Sealing** (Caja Negacion is a device given out to Espada by Aizen, it creates its own dimension and traps those inside in a combat-applicable form of Negacion, though the duration of one's time within Caja Negacion is entirely dependent on the users strength)
