Hello, I wanted to share something which i wondered for some time now...

While some people say that the end of the manga was quite religion-like and refer to christian religion most of the time. I was wondering if people also realized the similarities with buddhism ?

One of the main ones : in buddhism, there is something called : the 6-realms of samsara / cycle of reincarnation. Which describe 6 worlds :

1- God realm --> Shinigami ?

2- Demi-god realm (Asura) - often in war with god realm --> Quincy ?

3- Human realm (no need for explanation, right ?)

4- Animal realm --> Where Komamura and his grandfather comes from. it was said they were initially in the "Beast Realm because of their sins in life" (reincarnation ?) ?

5- Hungry ghost realm (Ghost always hungry searching for something be unable to statiate their hunger) --> Hueco Mundo ?

6-Hell realm --> the gate of hell where the Hollow coming from bad people go to ?

So, what do you think about it ?
