User blog comment:Lia Schiffer/432: The Soul Pantheism/@comment-1906999-20101228040537

Fullbring is definitely an interesting concept. The only thing I kind of find a little strange is everything having a "soul". I understand the idea of it, but it could be a little confusing. I found another blog post similar to this on mangastream.

Many people, including myself, think of a soul as the force that gives everyone life. I think in this context, the term "essence" might be more correct, but I don't have access to the raw scans to look at and compare the Kanji, so I'll stick with "soul" for the time being.

As for Chad, Uryu, and Orihime having their own Fullbring artifacts, that sounds like a very plausible explanation. I could really see that being part of the story. Also, Chad did seem too relaxed to be in the process of being recruited. That would explain why his "job" was always keeping him away from everyone else
