It seems some of my words have been twisted or misunderstood here. I never explicitly stated being associated with a particular race or having that race's power made him/her a part of it. Contrary to your statement that Pernida is not an actual Quincy, it identifies itself as having always been a Quincy and has Quincy powers. While you are correct in that it's ability allows it to obtain power from other races, when it comes into contact with Kenpachi it was only able to obtain his "level" of power. When it contacted Mayuri's Bankai it was only able to obtain the bankai's abilities. It was not able to obtain any generic shinigami abilities (shunpo, kido, etc.) by coming into contact with them unlike the generic Quincy powers it has. Furthermore, the race section of Pernida's page on this wiki identify it as a Quincy, and so for this wiki's purposes it is one. As for Mimihagi, since Pernida (the left arm of the king) is a quincy then Mimihagi (his opposite) would be a Shinigami as Quincy and Shinigami are polar opposites (as Urahara and Aizen both mentioned in Ishhin's backstory). As for the Soul King's other limbs, while it is true their functions are unknown we can theorize what they are based on what we know of the ones that have been introduced. That is why I first mentioned it in discussion.
