Kishin

Kishin    FUNimation "Afreet"; Literally meaning "Demon God") are beings created as the final result of consuming an unimaginable amount of pure  Souls. Any individual who achieves the status of Kishin has the power of a god, and becomes an equal to  Lord Death himself. This individual will also excrete a  Madness  Wavelength of such high density that it can encompass the entire world, driving those who fall to it to utter insanity.

HistoryEdit
 The first kishin created, Asura, was ironically part of the group which was led byShinigami himself to rid the world of corrupted souls, the Eight Powerful Warriors. Out of fear, Asura ate pure human souls that were not part of Shinigami's list. Asura became so fearful, that he would soon eat his own partner weapon, Vajra. Asura was eventually stopped by Shinigami and had his entire skin removed, his blood drained and used the same skin as a sack for his body. As a result of this, Shinigami rooted his soul to Death City to keep Asura sealed and founded Shibusen to prevent the creation of any new Kishin .
