#dawg they don’t even have canon ages and the aging system is nonexistent for souls in canon

The whole soul society aging fiasco

Ok, so there is no concrete or fully canon way that souls age. I did some research, and there’s still a myriad of answers.

One consistency that I see is that souls seem to age slower than humans, that’s pretty much a given. Yamamoto is 2,100 years old. Shunsui & Jushiro are both around the 1,000 range, and Unohana is I believe, with estimates, I would say also about a millennia younger than Yamamoto, probably a little older than Shunsui and Jushiro, but that’s an approximation.

I find it very interesting though because some characters look younger than others, but may be older in terms of how old their soul is, I guess. Like Unohana & Kenpachi, or Unohana and even Shunsui. It could be that Kenny and Shunsui look older because they’re more gruff, but Unohana is undoubtedly very battle hardened.

With that, Kenpachi is also at least a thousand years old as well, since when Kenny & Unohana fought it was literally a millennia from when the events of TYBW happened.

Some theories say one ages pertaining to how strong one’s spiritual pressure is, which might make sense for certain characters, like Unohana and Kenpachi, since Unohana still looks the same as she did 1,000 years prior when she fought a young Kenpachi. And obviously we see Kenpachi has grown up, possibly as his spiritual pressure became stronger.

Another theory, that I admittedly haven’t seen a lot about, is that some may just stop aging altogether at a certain point.

I ranted a bit more in my tags, more info there lmao
