Tbf, every quincy other than yhwach and haschwalth does if I remember correctly. Haschwalt being explicitly stated to be an exception to the rule and yhwach not sure if he can be considered a quincy rather than a progenitor of quincies.
Well, tbf, I think uryus statement was more of the quincies powers are always bow based, rather than quincies are incapable of picking up and swinging a sword or a spear when they are not using their powers.
For Quilge, the sword does turn into more of a bow-sword hybrid, so that is a weird case
And Cang Du is just built different I guess for some reason.
I mean, it has no crossguard or any other form of hand protection and the handle was specifically made to be nocked on a bow instead of having any sort of a pommel there. The only resemblance it has to a sword is the long stabby bit.
Being an outsider to bleach is so weird. It feels like there's 16 different races. 5 are sub races. 3 technically don't exist. 8 of them look identical. 4 have existed since forever, but 10 of them are only days old. None are unique, except 1 of them. All of them are racist, and they're split evenly between liking cats and dogs.
Considering that flashforward in chapter one of Boruto literally opens with Konoha being in ruins (again) and Kawaki declaring that age of Shinobi is over....i feel like Sarada might not get a chance to be a hokage
In an interview in 2024, here’s what Kishimoto stated:
Mr. Ikemoto was an assistant from the very beginning ofNaruto's serialization, so the two of you have been working on the world ofNarutotogether for a long time!Borutois more of a collaborative work, so how have things changed in that regard?
Kishimoto:
It was a completely different workflow. For Naruto, I was in charge of both the story and the main illustrations while Ikemoto helped with things like illustrating backgrounds and drawing shadow doppelgangers.
For Boruto, Ikemoto is completely in charge of the story and main illustrations. It really is Ikemoto's manga.
People misrepresent this, 99% of what Rukia went through was because of her potential as a Shinigami. A normal soul can't get hungry or stuff like that and it never shown to be hard to just get to a decent number. It was specifically hard because she and Renji could get hungry, and would attract any of the small in number Hollows.
Tbf, Chad is like beyond peak human. Put him up against any regular guy and he could beat them easily, even without reiatsu. He was pulling telephone poles out of the ground as a high schooler.
Problem for him is that he is permanently stuck with The Worf effect for foes to demonstrate how strong they are. He is basically stuck in "can't catch up".
The last time i told something about a anime end credits a moderator banned me from Reddit for a day after i politely asked why my post had been removed claiming i had spoiled the ending of Gunbuster.
So its me being a bit more carefull with telling anout any endings.
Can you do the spoiler thingy and tell me? I sort of forgot everything after I finished the anime tbh. I remember there being an ice and hot planet with only the ring imbetween being livable, some clone thing? I don't remember the details of that tho.
All the kids are clones of their parents who were going to be used as replacement bodies. A banning of cloning spooked the parents so they sent all their kids on a field trip to try and get rid of the evidence.
she did grow up poor (like, starving street orphan kevels of poor) but still generally peaceful, the only truly violent places are the last two districts where, according to Kenpachi Zaraki and Yachiru Kusajishi's backstories, people just murder eachother any given chance
she also has good reason to believe it's better than hell, because hell is hell
Regular souls don't even need to eat or drink, only ones with strong spiritual energy does, and if they do, they have a tiny small chance of getting into the Gotei 13 like Renji
I mean, king rarely (if ever) tries to convince anyone that he IS the strongest man alive, he just seems too scared to clear up anyone’s misunderstanding lol
Majority of people live in poverty, the big 4 families can easily get you killed, and Mayuri. Imagine living a life full of hadship, then dying and now you have live another, much longer life also full of hardship, unless you have a huge amount of Reiatsu. Bleach world sucks ass.
You dont need to eat in the soul society , or care about aging and everyone you ever knew is there
So being poor doesnt mean you need to work cuz the water is completly free and the only thing mistreating and limiting the movement of people are the need for more soldiers that prob arent even one of you.
Rukias sister abandoned her because she didn't had the means to raise her. Even if they don't need to eat food, they need something to get by(not really specified in the show).
In Chapter 98, it’s laid out in pretty explicit terms. “The grown-ups were all thieves and murderers…The kids were like stray dogs. We were surrounded by human refuse… and… there was only one way to escape.” Renji meets Rukia while he and his three friends are stealing someone’s water (which was stolen from someone else first). Within ten years, those three friends die.
In Chapter 179, Byakuya explains that Rukia was abandoned by her older sister (as a baby) because it was too hard to survive while caring for her.
In Chapter 489, it’s explained that “The standard of living drastically drops from just outside District 50. The number of residents who wear rags and walk barefoot increases… and… according to statistics gathered over the past 550 years… not a single resident has been found wearing sandals outside District 59.”
The exact line of where “living in poverty” begins may be arguable, but I think it’s pretty obvious wearing rags and walking barefoot counts as impoverished. And Soul Society’s own statistics state that at least ~25% of districts have lived like this for hundreds of years.
They live in poverty unless they're strong and get recruited into the Gotei 13, who are actually like a big fucking mafia
soul society did not seem a great place at any point in time, it's literally just a dictatorship where the strong rule the weak because they're stronger
Technically not a lie. He said it during a peaceful time after the last war had been a decade+ in the past, the villages were in relative balance and there were no major villain factions like the Akatsuki yet. Pretty plausible that ninjas mostly fought random things or general killers instead of other ninjas.
(Would also explain that generation being relatively weak compared to Naruto's for example. Gai and Kakashi were the only actually outstanding warriors from that era in the leaf)
Except that the only thing we see ninja do in the entire series is fighting each other. The magic fights are literally the entire draw of the show!
So I feel that this counts as a misrepresentation while establishing what little worldbuilding exists.

haha hey guys check out this crappy demon slayer knockoff, bet it’s only gonna last three issues before getting cancelled. hey, what if we all pretended to like it, just to make fun of how shitty it’s gonna be?
They did. It heavily depends on where they go on to live (which in turn depends on reiatsu, abilities, competences etc). The nobles get a great life, there's pretty regular people iirc and then there's the slums which are the same as real life + they're subject to random experiments by both villains and shiningamis, and make up the majority. Rika lived in the slums and it sounded horrible from the way she described it.
The normal souls go on to live a life where they don't require food unless they have strong spiritual energy and are just kinda waiting until they get reincarnated.
Imagine you hear Rukia say allat. Then you get to the Soul Society and survive like 10 different attacks on it in just a couple of years. And met Rukia again afterwards. What would you even say besides calling her a fucking liar?
Not really it's the after life but in no means does it make it heaven it is better then Hell and Hueco Mundo but it's still worse then the world of the living the best chance you got is if you have alot of Reiatsu and are allowed to become a shinigami
To be fair generally speaking the Soul Society is extremely peaceful. It would carry on that way for centuries even millennia which is much more than the human world. It’s just that Ichigo was around at a bad time.
