Grand Sovereign Council

The Grand Sovereign Council (大主権評議会; daidaiteki genshu hyougikai) is the most powerful authoritative judiciary organization, save for the Spirit King himself. The Grand Sovereign Council is made up of the entire Ring of One (70-90 members) from the Royal Special Task Force, nine appointed judges formerly serving in the Central 46 Chambers, and five men from anywhere in Soul Society directly appointed by the Spirit King himself. When in session, the Grand Sovereign Council are sealed within the Gyouseibou (管理室; Administration Chamber) of the Royal Palace. The council serves as the supreme judiciary branch, and their authority reigns over Soul Society's entire legal system. The Council also act as the Spirit King's advisors, and n executive force to the Central 46 Chambers.

On some occasions, orders and enforcement protocols were sent to the Central 46 Chambers from the Grand Sovereign Council. The Grand Sovereign Council is less like the military tribunal of the Central 46 Chambers, and more akin to a court, though they are just as strict and swift in their dealings. The Grand Sovereign Council have three arbitrators that moderate council sessions; the first arbitrator is the Supreme Commander of the Royal Guard, the second is the Senior Overseer from the former members of the Central 46 Chambers, and the third is one of the council members appointed by the Spirit King. Despite its position, Grand Sovereign Council possesses no authority over the Royal Special Task Force, as that authority resides only with the Spirit King himself.
