Well, yeah, which is part of the crux of the singular Soul Society bit I go with. We've been shown (I believe conflicting accounts) that people who end up in SS/The God Realm retain their memories. So a Viking would still remember being a Viking, and the promise of Valhalla and what not. I feel like if we have to have every religions afterlife, then we should treat them correctly, which leads to needing something to resolve the issue of what happens to the non-cyclical types of beyond death. Its a little cheap to say everything up that point is right, but that particular point is wrong, at least to me.

The idea that these beings ascend elsewhere upon recognition of their deeds, or the possibility that their realms are "frozen" or otherwise discarded when belief of them is lost / the culture that sired them ceases to exist, would be situations I feel that would fit a bit better (That way, say, instead of Valhalla suddenly exploding, its just placed within a sort-of stasis, no one arrives there anymore and no one really leaves, so its isolated and prevents harm to the balance).
