So, has anyone realized the trend that Bleach is going through? First there was the 13 Court Guard Squad with Chinese themes and tendencies, then they wen't to Hueco Mundo (spell check) where everything was Spanish. Now in recent chapters of the manga they have the Quincies and their German-stuff. What do you think might be next? Or do you think this is the end of the series with these last chapters and story arc?

I'd love to be that guy who's like:"Wow you JUST realized all that stuff?" But I haven't noticed any Chinese themes and tendencies with the 13 court guard squad, so you've have to point those out. And German elements with the Quincies? Didn't know that was a thing, since I haven't been reading the manga in ine years. Wouldn't surprise me if Kubo borrowed that from the Bounts in Bleach's first filler arc, who also had German elements to them. But yeah "Hueco Mundo" is spanish for "Hollow World," "Espada" means "Ten blades," and "Arrancar," means "Ripped off." Well if memory serves me right, that's what they mean. Then you've got the annacar's "ressurecions," their names and the names of their resurrecions. All of which are spanish based.
