If I remember correctly, Shinigami are "purifying" Hollows with Zanpakuto,
cleansing souls and sending them to Soul Society (not counting cases when
souls are going to Hell). And regarding Quincy, it was said that the main
conflict between Quincies and Shinigami was that, unlike Shinigami, Quincies
were destroying souls when killing Hollows, which was bad for balance.

In series, it was shown numerous times that Hollows can also be defeated by
humans having certain abilities, for example, Yasutora Sado, Orihime Inoue,
Hanakari Jinta, etc. So, what happens with Hollow soul in this case? Is it
exorcised, or destroyed, just like by Quincy hand?

Are Hollows defeated by humans who are not Quincies considered as destroyed or "purified"?


If killed by a Soul Reaper they go to Soul Society if they were actually good,
so only the bad ones go to Hell. Quincy destroy them completely. Humans just
kill them and send them to Hell. Only Soul Reapers purify them.

Not a source, but I watched all episodes of Bleach and finished the manga. At
one point they are talking about how Chad's or Orihime's powers are special.
Chad said something about his spiritual pressure doing something when he went
to Hueco Mundo, and Hachigan was a Soul Reaper/Vizard with Orihime's power.

Captain Kurotsuchi also said it when he realized the Quincy were invading.

They would be destroyed, chad is closer to a hollows, and a soul reapers
zanpaktou is meant to purify/condemn hollows. Ex. Other groups, either absorb
the people, and the world around them in soul society, are Quincy, or just
have a different specification. They never mention ichigos friends purifying
them, as far as I am aware, so it's either a plot hole, or they die. Since, in
usual cases, they have soul reaper assigned to the area, it would be
reasonable to liken them to a Quincy.

This was actually answered in one of the episodes. There needs to be a balance
between people dying and souls going into Soul Society and Quincy's were
disrupting that balance by erasing the souls altogether instead of cleansing
them. This disruption took such proportions that soul reapers and quincy's
went to war. It seems to follow that, since shinigami are apparantly the only
ones actually sending the soul somewhere, all other forms of combating Hollows
will result in the destruction of the soul, rather than the relocation of it.

I do not have an episode number but I do have a backup source:

See chapter 3.2 Fall of the Quincy for more info.
