The Material World is where the living souls of humans and animals reside. In Gense, humans with a particularly high spiritual affinity subconsciously congregate into pockets. Karakura Town is one such place and for the spiritual powers at work, the rest of the globe is of very little significance.

The world where Hollow live, Hueco Mundo is a bleak and barren landscape divided into two sections; the subterranean Menos forest and the surface level desert basked in perpetual night.

Soul Society is the spiritual realm where all cleansed souls go to after their deaths. It is here where they live out a second life until their deaths there, after which they are reincarnated. Most resident souls live impoverished lives in the sprawling ghetto's of Rukongai.
