The Gates then close and the entire structure cracks and crumbles into nothing. The demon skewers the Hollow entering Hell with its blade and pulls it through the Gates while laughing. It has armor plating on its upper arm and wields a blade its left arm and face are covered in tattoos resembling tribal markings. The face and left arm of a large demonic creature can be seen behind the Gates. On the inside, the Gates appear to be prevented from opening fully by two thick ropes with charms attached to them. The arms of both skeletons are positioned at an angle to pull the gates open when it is summoned. The Gates of Hell (地獄の門, Jigoku no Mon) are chained shut and adorned with the bandaged head and torso of a skeleton on each door. The Gates appear to be formed from energy or light which emerges from the wound. When Ichigo Kurosaki defeated Shrieker, he did so by slashing the Hollow's mask. If the spirit has committed heinous crimes as a Human or not escaped to Hueco Mundo, it will be sent to Hell instead of Soul Society. The Zanpakutō of a Shinigami can only cleanse Souls of the sins they committed as Hollows.
