Ask AI: What happened to the Hollow Aerrinerio afte being defeated by Rukia, did he die?

In the anime and manga series "Bleach," Hollows are generally malevolent spirits that are purified when they are defeated by Soul Reapers (Shinigami) using their Zanpakutō. When a Hollow is defeated by a Soul Reaper like Rukia Kuchiki, they do not die in the traditional sense. Instead, their soul undergoes a purification process, which allows them to pass on to the Soul Society, the afterlife realm where most deceased human souls reside. If you have a specific episode, chapter, or context in mind regarding Rukia's encounters with a particular Hollow named Aerrinerio, providing more details can help give you a more precise explanation. However, based on the general mechanics of the "Bleach" universe, a defeated Hollow would typically be purified and sent to the Soul Society rather than experiencing death in the usual sense.
