^^ The context of that statement was in relation to the Hogyoku, not the Soul Kings' leg or whatever. It's possible that the Hogyoku is connected with the Soul King somehow, but that's a different matter altogether.

In regards to your conjecture, that all four limbs correspond with each power—it doesn't hold any water. For one thing, Quincy are human (albeit spiritual aware and powerful humans), they aren't a separate species that live in a separate realm. They lived in the real world, but fled to Soul Society and lived in the 'shadows' for a thousand years.

Pernida identifying as a Quincy can only mean that either it is one; which necessarily means that the Left Arm is not Pernida. Or, it's been brainwashed into thinking that it is one.
