What exactly is the Soul King?

He is the linchpin of this world, the very cornerstone which governs the flow of souls across the universe.

If he ever were to disappear, it is likely that the three worlds, the Soul Society, the world of the living, and Hueco Mundo, would immediately collapse.

Then what was the world like before such a linchpin was driven in?

There was no "before" the Soul King! It is unforgivable to even think such a thing!

We must be thankful that the Soul King, the absolute pinnacle, lives on, and continue to revere him.

As Soul Reapers, beings who possess wisdom, language, and strength, that is our duty!

............

Ha!

Can... Can this really be happening?! It's all exactly as I had imagined! No, beyond what I'd imagined!

The sins of my ancestors are written here?

Heh, heh... Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha! I see. So those are the bowels of the Soul Society, of the Tsunayashiro Clan!

I can't believe a monument like this was left behind. Is it so their sins would never be forgotten? No.

It must have been left behind as a threat to the other four Noble Clans.

Yes, yes! It's just as I desired! To think, I was this accurate about how the world works!

How truly splendid! Indeed, I must give thanks. I'm grateful for my distant ancestors' sins.

I'm happy for their greatly evil deeds, which were hidden away and so could not be purified for a million years!

If the world is such a vicious place, then I too should be vicious.

The Tsunayashiro Clan, which was simply contemptible, ends here.

What point is there in evil so minor that it can be looked down on and despised?

Everything is a fraud. What good would it do if I didn't go along with the lies?

Yes, I will give in to what my heart wants and sing out my desires.

Whether it's destroyed by Quincies, overrun by Hollows, or ruined at the hand of someone overly ambitious...

...if the end of the Soul Society is near, then I vow to live out my days committing evil.

It won't be a necessary evil. No, I will laugh at this world as I commit completely unnecessary evils.

What a joyful day! The history of the Soul Society has proven that my malicious ways are justified.
