Guys, I'm guessing that the Shinigami are responsible for the Earth as a whole, as the Living World is implied to be the Earth, not Japan alone. But why are all Shinigami/souls introduced so far Japanese, or speak Japanese? Could they actually be talking in English, and it's just that we are seeing a "translated version" in Japanese, as it happens with many anime? But that wouldn't really fit with Bleach's theme, would it? What do you think?
