Yeah, I saw the thread title and immediately thought, "But we already have five," those five being, as Njalm stated: Hell, Hueco Mundo, Human World, Yuanrang, and Soul Society. With that we just need one more realm or world, which if I understand you correctly Sei, you are saying this could be one dimension of sorts where all different types of afterlifes, Heaven, Valhalla, Elysium, Paradise, etc. co-exist. Maybe they never interact with each other, perhaps seperated by barriers each civilization set-up for themselves, or by geographic distance (if Valhalla corresponds to Scandinavia, Elysium to Greece, etc. etc.) but they are at least on the same plane. Of course that could explain certain races, like where Brave's Angels come from and such, but begs the question of how these guys interact with the cycle of reincarnation, and what the difference is between this realm and Soul Society. Perhaps dead Shinigami can ascend to this higher plane? I'm not too sure how Buddhism works. And then also we have to answer why the majority of the humans who die skip Soul Society altogether and jump to their pre-designated "heavens."
