Hōgyoku

Item from Bleach by Tite Kubo

A small orb that dissolves the boundary between Shinigami and Hollow, created independently by both Aizen and Urahara — the catalyst for the Arrancar army and Aizen's transcendent evolution.

Also known as: Hōgyoku, Hogyoku, Orb of Distortion, Breakdown Sphere

What They Know

• Dissolves the boundary between Shinigami and Hollow — used to create the Arrancar army
• Materializes the deepest desires of those in proximity, not just the wielder's commands
• Two were created independently: one by Aizen, one by Urahara, later merged into one
• Remains fused with Aizen in Muken — possibly sentient, possibly still granting his wishes
• Urahara hid his Hōgyoku inside Rukia's Gigai — Aizen orchestrated her execution to extract it
