Forum:I was just wondering...

So, I noticed that everyone just floats around and fights in midair. But they all seem to be fighting on more of an invisible ground because everyone is their same height. So I have one question. Say Hyori, now that her legs got cut off, had them partially restored. Would she still be able to float and if so, would she be shorter than everyone in the air? I mean, if you could float at any height, why would you want to be shorter than everyone else? Like I would just totally float above everyone. Finally, why don't they float around in SS? Some things are just too strange...

It's the spirit particles, they gather them under their feet and use them to hold themselves in place, that's why a lot of the fights we've seen do take place in a three dimensional axis. It also explains why they fall to earth when knocked out or killed, they no longer control the particles and have nothing to hold them up. This doesn't happen in Hueco Mundo or Soul Society because they're both made of spirit particles, where on Earth the spirit particles are just floating freely and can be easily controlled, in Soul Society the spirit particles are bound to the ground like atoms, and so only real masters of controlling the spirit particles, like Quincies, can use them in the same way. As for the height thing, they are on different levels, Aizen, Gin and Kaname are several feet above everyone else, or were until the vizards intervened. Fights take place at different altitudes, Soi Fon ended up on the ground while Hitsugaya was in midair for example. BollyW 05:22, October 10, 2009 (UTC)

I'll do you one better... Remember way back in the beginning of Bleach no one "Flew" They just could jump real high. Now they all fly everywher.LOL.Hollowmajinbuu1 05:22, October 10, 2009 (UTC)

really? wow, I thought they couldn't do it in soul society because of the wall I mean, they never did much outside of Seireitei, and I read somewhere that the wall prevents it. Huh, I guess my source was wrong. But yeah, they do gather the spirit particles under their feet. I don't think they ever really explained it completely in the manga...KnowledgeandImagination 05:32, October 10, 2009 (UTC)

Yeah, no kidding. It's like something just snapped in their brain. "Hey, why do I have to jump? I can fly!" Nick4444 05:34, October 10, 2009 (UTC)

Everyone can (and always have been able to) stand in mid-air in the Human World. It is only in Soul Society & possibly Hueco Mundo that they can not fly/float. In the real world, they're just ghosts, so anything goes. It was explained by Zangetsu during Ichigo's training to regain his lost Shinigami powers. Unfortunately, that key piece of info never made it into the anime for some reason. Link to Zangetsu explaining it --Yyp 13:17, October 10, 2009 (UTC)

Why do u guys keep saying they can't fly or float in Hueco Mundo? Throughout most of Ichigos & Grimmjows fight it was in the air. Towards the end Grimmjow using his desgarccion technique was standing in the air. Also Ichigo was basically flying when he went to save Orihime & fight Ulquiorra. Thus far it just seems that it depends on whether the characters want to fight in the air or on the ground. Minato88 19:58, October 10, 2009 (UTC)
