Location from Bleach by Tite Kubo
The dimension where truly evil souls are dragged after death — bound in chains and consumed by flames, beyond the reach of Soul Society's jurisdiction.
Hell in Bleach operates on automatic — when a Shinigami purifies a Hollow, if the soul that became that Hollow committed unforgivable sins during life, the Gates of Hell appear and claim it regardless of anyone's wishes. No Shinigami commands this process; it's built into the cosmological system. The dimension is explored more fully in the Hell Verse movie and the manga's final arc epilogue, where Szayelaporro and other deceased characters reappear as Hell's inhabitants. Kubo's Hell follows the principle that purification cleanses the Hollow corruption but not the human's original sins. It's the one dimension nobody in Soul Society wants to think about.
A dimension of fire and chains. Massive stone gates — the Gates of Hell — appear when a sinful soul is claimed, opening to reveal enormous skeletal hands that drag the condemned inside. Beyond the gates: a vertical descent through layered levels of punishment, each deeper layer more nightmarish. Chains hang from every surface. The aesthetic is heavy metal album cover meets Buddhist hell scroll.
