Here's the weird thing about that. Way back during Uryu's fight with Mayuri, when Mayuri stabbed himself through the neck with Ashisogi Jizo in order to turn into water and get away, Uryu himself notes that Ashisogi Jizo can turn anything it cuts to liquid, which is all well and good (the raw of said page confirms that Uryu was talking about Mayuri's sword and not just a special ability of his body). However, for whatever reasons, Kubo (or Shueshia, or whatever) decided to retcon it into a body modification technique in SOULs, and I don't understand why (unless they were trying to prove that Uryu is fallible or something by proving that he didn't correctly guess the category of ability that Mayuri used or something). So it's kinda strange.
