"Also, people forget that the Shinigami were originally antagonists, hellbent on destroying him and his friends. Although they are no longer trying to kill Ichigo, you can't call them protagonists either. If anything we have learned in this current arc, like all governments and societies, the Gotei 13 have done things that have not really been morally sound, hell you can say they have done things that are downright evil."

True a lot of people forget that. Thats why I dont know how to feel about the Vandenreich,I dunno their goal. Is it taking over the world or vengance,but if it is vengance,I cant say the Vandenreich are bad because they're quincies.Soul Reapers destroyed most of the Quincy over 200 years ago in order to 'prevent the destruction of the world'.

And here's a valid quote from this wiki  the Quincy advanced the idea that since they were already among the living and still more numerous at the time, they could act as "first responders" to Hollow attacks: protecting Humans until the less-numerous Shinigami could send a representative to finish the Hollow off.

Why didnt the Soul Reapers listen to taht,it seems easier for the Soul Reapers,less hassle for them. But no they went their way to kill the Quincies. This is why I cant see the Vandenreich as the enemy. If they're after vengence,they have their right. And I also agree on quincy philisophy."Hollows devour souls of Humans, so why must it be that those who harm and kill friends and relatives get sent peacefully to Soul Society?"

To me, the Soul Reapers are the necessary evil in Bleach. And true Ichigo is the main character. But I guess since Kubo made dozens of characters; thats why fans want the Captains. So they can be fleshed out more... or annoying fanservice...
