The Tower of Night (夜塔, Yorutō) was a mysterious Tower commanded by Averian, though the creator of the Tower appears to be The Outsider. It appeared and drastically affected a number of worlds; the primary examples being the prime world and the aforementioned world's mirror counterpart. The Tower served as the means used by Fujimaru and his allies to inadvertently travel to to the prime world from their own world.

Overview[]

The Tower of Night was named by the Gotei 13 due to its sudden appearance between 3:00 and 4:00am in the World of the Living. Outside this one-hour time-period the Tower was incapable of being approached, could not be entered, and could not even be detected by traditional scanning equipment. At any other time the space formerly occupied by the Tower appeared as it always had; the Tower, as far as anyone was aware, did not exist expect for the aforementioned hour.

The Tower of Night was a colossal cylindrical tower-like structure with no discernible entrance, a flat roof, and was composed of a substance that pulsated with a malignant form of energy that was foreign to traditional spiritual energy. The 12th Division and the S.R.D.I. speculated that the Tower's energy was compatible with Hollow, and acted as a homing beacon for them. Hollow, and Arrancar by extension, had their powers vastly augmented when close to the Tower. Hollow where also observed to have "fallen" from the Tower's walls.

The Kyūtai, specifically Sasaeru and the Ōin, where required to open a pathway into its inner depths, as demonstrated by Kenji Hiroshi who employed the former and Kaien Shiba who used the latter. The duo discovered the interior to be constantly shifting; everything was in motion, and the two where required to create a stable walkway with their reiatsu to avoid being drawn up in the currents. During the pairs visits they discovered it was impossible to plot an accurate map; the interior changed, with corridors and paths appearing and disappearing at a moment's notice; even distance and time seemed to be warped.

In addition to the Kyūtai an entrance into the Tower could be forged by Arturo Plateado.

Associated effects[]

  • Hollow Empowerment: The Tower has been noted to have a unique effect on both Hollow and Arrancar; to the point Hollow of lesser intelligence have been documented "falling" from the Tower's walls when they sense potential danger approaching. This same enhancement extends to Shinigami who have undergone Hollowfication but with the side-effect of increased emotional distress, mindlessness and aggression.
  • Sensory Block: The Tower effectively blocks a spiritual beings sense for spiritual phenomenon in its surrounding area. Communication equipment commonly used by the Soul Society is likewise blocked.
