A quick question, something that has been on my mind for some time.... The differences and similarities between Shinigami and some of the other spiritual beings we're seeing.
First off, we see Shinigami using Kidou, and Quincy using.... spells. Have we ever gotten a title for what the classification of attack is that Ishida uses? I've heard some people call them "Destructive(?? 破壊 ??) Arts" rather than "Demon(鬼) Arts", but is this the right name? Also, if possible, what is the correct name, in its original Japanese (and romanji, for lame men like me ^.^).
Equally, while Shinigami use Zanjutsu, or Cutting techniques, what would the term be for Bow techniques? The best I can come up with is Kyuujutsu or Yumijutsu (not sure how 弓 would translate).... how off am I?
So, we move on to Hohou, or Movement Arts... We know the primary movement technique used by Shinigami is Shunpo.... Quincy use Hirenkyaku, and Arrancar use Sonido.... in all fairness, have we heard this category called anything else for the non-Shinigami, or just the names of the techniques?
Anyway, those are just my thoughts and questions.... any assistance would be greatly appreciated, since I've never seen the Bleach DB, and I do try to keep up-to-date on these japanese specifics (with both Naruto and Bleach, if I can ^.^)
Many thanks, in advance!
