The majority of training for individuals wanting to become a Soul Reaper is done through the Soul Reaper Academy, which was founded by Shigekuni Yamamoto-Genryūsai about 2000 years before the current Bleach storyline. Later in the series, Soul Reaper duties are clarified further, and it is revealed that they are also responsible for governing the flow of spirits between the human world and Soul Society. A Soul Reaper's duties include leading Pluses (ghosts) to Soul Society in a practice called soul burial ( konsō), and the cleansing of hollows (evil spirits). In addition, it is a crime for a Soul Reaper to remain in the human world longer than a certain time limit. Travel between the human world and Soul Society is extremely limited and monitored, but some Soul Reapers are stationed in the human world to carry out their duties and therefore must often travel between the two. Soul Reaper operations are based out of Soul Society, which is the afterlife in Bleach. A zanpakutō is a physical manifestation of this force concentrated into a blade. Soul Reapers also naturally give off spiritual energy, which varies greatly in magnitude with the strength of a Soul Reaper. The most prominent power possessed by a Soul Reaper is their zanpakutō, a sword generated from the Soul Reaper's soul. Additionally, they can be injured and die like regular humans, though it takes considerably greater injuries for the latter to occur than it would in regular humans. In the series, Soul Reapers, as well as most other types of spirits, are quite capable of influencing their environment. As such, their bodies are composed of ectoplasm ( 霊子 reishi ?) and they can only be seen by other spiritually aware entities, which excludes most humans. Soul Reapers are departed human souls that have gained supernatural powers. Because the concept is very recent and was never a part of Shinto nor of Japanese folklore, Soul Reapers in Bleach are quite different from those of other works of fiction. They are based on the Japanese Grim Reaper concept, imported from Europe into Japan during the Meiji period. Soul Reapers are enforcers and psychopomps who all share similar supernatural powers.
