Commune

Communes (コミューン) are areas within the Great Spirit that serve as afterlives for souls. These communes form around people who share customs, worldviews, and religions and reflect those beliefs.

About
The communes are uncountable and are organized within the Great Spirit on levels that reflect the greatness of souls within them. When a person dies, their memories and emotions determine what commune they go to. Souls can travel between communes and levels, but ascending is far more difficult than descending.

Within the Great Spirit, a soul's appearance and surroundings are dependent on the thoughts of the soul. Because of this, a shaman with a strong soul could repair any injuries they incur, recreate any object they want, or wear any clothes they want.

Shaman King's Commune
The highest level of the Great Spirit is the Commune of the Shaman King (シャーマンキングのコミューン), accessible only by the Shaman King and those he summons; however, the Shaman King can unwittingly allow others into the realm due to subconscious feelings and desires. This was the location of the final fight of Shaman Fight 2000.

Big Heaven
Big Heaven is the second highest level and the home of angels. It is highly exclusive and has accepted only one new member since its establishment dozens of centuries ago. Luchist Lasso once ventured here and took pieces of the angels in order to create the Archangels.

Indio Commune
The Indio Commune (インディオのコミューン) is an afterlife for the Indio peoples. It contains a recreation of their settlements as they once were. It is also where Chocolove McDonell meets Pascal Avaf.

Hell
Hell (地獄) is a collective of various communes that house miserable souls. As a form of self-penance, the souls are punished over the guilt they feel from their actions in life.

Sanjiva
Sanjiva (等活地獄) is a commune in which killers endlessly fight each other to the death. Asakura Yohken was sent here due to the guilt he felt in killing his reincarnated ancestor, Hao, during the Shaman Fight in AD 1500.

This commune is ruled over by Enma Daioh, and Cho-Oni act as additional tormentors.

Mini Ashura Hell
The Mini Ashura Hell (プチ修羅地獄) is a small, modern version of an Ashura Hell that formed around Sakurai Sakutaro and the souls of those connected to him. It is a recreation of Peleliu and replays the World War II battle between Japanese and American forces.

At Hao's request, Thalim sets up a branch of the Patch's Café there; meanwhile, the Knights Templar set up the Patcy Cat on the opposite side of the island.
