User blog comment:Dangai Train/Ryuken's true motives/@comment-2220112-20140215224752

Interesting thoughts. Ryuken's father was considered the leader of the Quincys at the end of the war that killed most of them, and Ryuken is also referred to as the Last Quincy. Obviously their blood line is special and may be the only reason Uryu being a mixed blood Quincy survived. I find it more interesting that Ryuken who hates Shinagami's was not recruited to fight in this war. Also Uryu is much stronger now with his bow having changed in the lost Shinagami Arc. Ryuken has been training him I imagine for this fight.
