The reason I say that is because that Soul Society wasn't always like that. And we've seen people like Unohana, Zaraki, even Yamamoto, and the original Divisions, they were all described as bloodthirsty killers. Soul Society has always been originally depicted as a wasteland of carnage, only later becoming a civilization when they came together and worked for it. Yhwach had said after their war with the Quincy, they had "won for themselves a world of peace". And that's besides mentioning how even the Light Novels refer to Soul Society as a "purgatory" rather than a heaven or afterlife, and we've seen countless times that the Shinigami, who weren't always called that, only have "god" in their name. They have no other associations with the idea of a deity. And yeah, no hunger, but that's one of the least of their problems in Rukongai. Besides, you could say that, but the Asura are divine entities themselves too. If I recall right, they're like Devas but more battle-hungry. Besides, it always seemed like the Preta Realm fit Hueco Mundo more anyways. I mean, "hungry ghost"? How wouldn't that be another name for a Hollow? I dunno, this is just me, as I said.

We can probably have a genuine debate about this as a precursor to a realms project on another thread.

@Zetarion - I feel like we may have to, with some people either inactive or returning, and new people joining the wiki and possibly even this project, we will need to redo the Gotei 13 at least. I don't think we ever really fleshed out things like the Espada (save for a couple Arrancar) or the Kido Corps or anything like that, so only the Gotei 13, I believe, will need a redo. I'll mention it on the thread I'm writing tonight.
