Kōhai Tochi (荒廃土地, Japanese for Blighted Land) is a spiritual realm home to some of the most wanted and violent criminals spanning the spiritual world. The realm was once abadoned after an incident involving the Dangai Precipice World and has since become a nest of scum and villainy. The realm is large and expansive, with the single city being almost as large as the Seireitei; with a large amount of wasteland outside the expanse of the city.
The realm is accessed through the the deepest reaches of the Dangai, or by a three-month journey from Soul Society by boat across the spiritual seas seperating the two realms. The sky is predominately dark and murky, a consequence of the incident that led to its abandonement centuries before.
Due to the effects of the Dangai seeping into the realm, it is impossible for one to release either the Shikai or Bankai release of their Zanpakutō as such an action would cause them to be trapped by the Kōryū (拘流, Wresting Flow). Arrancar releases - or ones of similar nature - are excempt, though why is currently unknown. Human powers, such as Fullbring, Helix Daggers and Quincy powers can be used safely and without any drawbacks, however.
