SunXia wrote: Uhm, Quincy attacks are all bright you only have to look at Uryu, the most persistently Quincy in the Series, and his father and his grandfather and all the flashbacks in the early seasons, they all have bright attacks. Sure there is some variance now but their base attacks are bright and light.

The Arrancar too all have bright, colorful attacks inherent in their abilities. Describing Hueco Mundo and a Garganta does not describe them.

Yhwach is dark now, after absorbing the Soul King and such not before. Just look at Ichibē and his powers if you want darkness and hes the original.

No, Shinigami are more darkness than anyone, they are not good or evil they are simply balance, those who keep the world in check, they have done both good and evil deeds in their line of duty of keeping the worlds balanced. Darkness and black are simply the absence of color which easily describes the Shinigami, the absence of alignment, merely doing their duty. That to me is over simplifying a lot of stuff. Sorry but I think you're wrong about who's more dark.

Hollows are for the most part the most dark characters in Bleach. The way a hollow is born or created. The fact that they lose all humanity. Their shapes. The way they evolve by devouring other souls, it's a true reflection of the desolation that's Hueco Mundo.

Shinigamis are balanced for the most part. The way they grow stronger through hardwork, the way they communicate with their inner shinigami souls through the zanpakutou, the multitude of powers they wield in the form of Kidou. Most of that is bright. And Ichibei, that's a poor excuse for a example. Darkness was his power that he could use to both create and destroy. So if anything he was a bright example of the dual nature of shinigamis. Also look at Yamamoto, Thoushirou, Byakuya, Kenpachi and many others. Their powers too can be used to protect or destroy.

Hollows are mostly about destruction. Even the Espadas that are supposed to be the strongest amongst the hollows, their powers and personalities are mostly align to the aspects of death. If that doesn't scream dark and evil, then I don't know what does. Even the nature of their powers is way more simple. Consume, become stronger, destroy and conquer.

If Bleach was star wars, Quincies would be Jedi's, Hollows would be Sith. And the shinigami would be something in between. Or like you very well put it, they'd be balance.

Also this is like taking all I wrote and taking it out of context. What did Old Man always wore or used? Quincy shadow! Like he was cloaked in it. What did hollow Ichigo looked like? Like a mostly white version of Ichigo. Even Nimaiya pointed out to Ichigo that the asauchi that represented Zangetsu was white as snow. So as you can see, White! Quincy=Black, Shinigami+Hollow=White
