So I just finished watching the 3rd Season of Bleach and I'm really confused about the world. I would really appreciate it if someone could answer some of these questions.
1) A Ryoka had mentioned when a human dies they remain the same age when they pass over into the Soul Society. If this is the case then why is it during flashbacks we see Soul Reapers "growing up"?
2) I also don't understand why all the Soul Reapers even have "Childhoods" in the Soul Society. Wouldn't their ages vary depending on when each individual Soul Reaper had died in the human world and transferred into the Soul Society? I guess it would make sense if some people are "born" in the Soul Society but this wasn't really explained.
3) Some of the characters have friends and relatives who have died in the Soul Society. Example: Rukia and Renji's childhood friends died. But how is that even possible? They're already dead, it's not like they could die from fatigue or starvation. :S
Sorry about all the questions. Thank you to anyone who answers.
