Hōgyoku
A small bluish-purple mystical item, Hōgyoku can help in taking down the barriers between Soul Reapers and Hollows. It means that it can allow one race to attain the powers of the other races. It also allows you to create an Arrancar, Soul Reaper with Hollow powers, Hollow with Soul Reaper powers, or a Vizard. It is also known as in Japanese 崩玉, Crumbling Orb; Viz: “Breakdown Sphere”.
This supernatural item was invented by Kisuke Urahara and Aizen stole it from Rukia. As a punishment, Urahara sealed Aizen’s body in the Hōgyoku. Initially, two forms of Hōgyoku were invented, one by Aizen and one by Urahara. Later, both were merged to make a single Hōgyoku.
The true power of the Hōgyoku lies in its ability in sensing the hearts of those near it and in materializing their deepest desires.

Powers and Abilities of Hōgyoku
Undoubtedly, Hōgyoku is one of the magnificent and powerful items that have many massive powers and various abilities. The main objective of the Hōgyoku is to break down the boundaries between Hollow and Shinigami but it possesses some other powers too.
Let’s have a look at some of the powers and abilities of Hōgyoku,
- Overbearing Power
Trying to stifle the existence of others, Hōgyoku has witnessed the overbearing power which is completely unrelated to Reiatsu.
- Desire Materialization
As mentioned above, Hōgyoku has the desired materialization power. This magical power allows it to absorb the desires of those near it and reflect them into reality. It has some limitations too as the Hōgyoku is a guiding force. It can only reflect the desires of those who have the strength to carry them out.
- Hollowfication/Arrancarification
The true ability of Hōgyoku is Hollowfication/Arrancarification. Hōgyoku has the ability to vanish the boundaries between Hollow and Shinigami. This allows them to attain the powers of each other. In short, allowing Shinigami to have Hollowfication and for Hollows to have Arrancarfication. However, Arrancarfication can happen naturally so it seems to be the more stable and absolute version.
- Fusion
The Hōgyoku has also the ability to fuse itself with a host body. This ability of fusion generally requires the Orb to recognize you as its master. Once fused, the Hogyoku will serve the host at the best of its abilities as long as they wish it. The fusion of Hōgyoku results in the regeneration of the host that can be compared to a Hollows. As the Hogyoku begins to understand the host’s desires more clearly it also starts to work on their very Soul over time. It results in an ultimate transformation.
