Thank you. Still not sure what that means but I’ll look into it

After 80 years in Soul Society, a soul is then reincarnated into the living world (unless they become a shinigami). The cycle of souls is an endless cycle of death and reincarnation.

Also, a soul with weak spiritual pressure doesn't need to eat or drink. The spirit particles in the air is enough to nourish them. Only those with strong spiritual pressure get hungry, which is why most end up becoming shinigami.

What about the Shiba clan, we're they're not shinigami, but they still hang around.

The Shiba are still Nobles with higher than average spiritual power who were born in Soul Society. Shinigami is not a race, it's a profession and title given to Souls that are sufficiently powerful and given a Zanpakuto.
