I'm very excited, because I think I've uncovered an error all the translators (even the Japanese ones!!) have made by parroting each others' first goof: the Quincy "final form" (found it! mentioned by Ryuuken, BLEACH 226, page 16) is called Quincy: Letzt Stil (滅却師最終形態（クインシー・レツトシュティール）Kuinshī Retsutoshutīru, Japanese for "destruction sage: final form," then "Quincy" [whose underlying kanji = "destruction sage"] + German for "last style"), based on German letzt-, letze(r) "last"--although the lack of a <・> between the katakana suggests Kubo wants it to be Letztstil. Apparently, even the Japanese Wiki-ers mistook the full ツ tsu element for tiny ッ, which just doubles the following consonant sound; thus, they goofed and gaveRetsuto as Re tt o, even though German letzt is pronounced like [letst] and so Retsuto would make more sense (and the raw chaper actually does seem to have the full ツ). Despite this, others have picked up the translation Letzt, though they've misspelled Stil as "Stile." Very exciting to catch this long-time error... and it just sounds boss :) !�Adam Restling 17:56, January 30, 2010 (UTC)
