Even if you have the Purify Soul technique, it can only be performed on Lost Souls in Karakura Town. The ability increases Soul Reaper ranks the more people you help. However, keep in mind that some interactions won’t be accessible to specific races. For example, Hollow and Quincy cannot perform Purify Soul.

The map icons lead players to various Divisions, which you’ll need to join during the beginning stages.
