About being blood related in any way wouldn't make sense since Ryuken is marrying Masaki, I recently read the Quincy page. They arrange the marriage of their children to preserve their "Pure" bloodline so incest is somewhat "legal" for the Quincies as long as it is for reproduction purposes. I have to respectfully disagree here. Just because two people are both pure-blooded Quincies doesn't mean they are blood related. The Quincies were once a thriving group, made of many families, from the way I see it. Arranged marriages exist in the real world too, but they aren't usually incestual.

--About that, I MISREAD it. Hahaha. I beg your pardon kind sir, Indeed, Quincies arrange marriages between their child and other families' child, both whom are pure blooded, so their pure bloodline will continue throughout the later generations. A simple mistake, to be sure. Again, this all circles back to my theory that, because the marriage never happened, Ryuken was more of an older brother type to Masaki, so Ichigo and Uryu would be adopted cousins, in a way.
