User blog:Uraharattack/Guys, I need your opinion on my theory.

Jushiro Ukitake.... I think he could be a quincy. now just hear me out. He's always been sickly - I think this could be related to surviving aushwallen (I spelled that wrong, sorry). The shadow thing that appeared behind him a few chapters ago - that seemed very quincy-ish to me. The nature of his sword is reminiscent of quincy and their ability to utilize their environment. Do you see what I'm saying there? They quincy fight by taking and giving. Ukitake fights by taking and giving enemy attacks. Maybe it's a bit of stretch, idk. Do you all remember the "spoilers" for this arc? it was stated that ukitake will get better. I'm thinking his sickness goes away upon yhwach's defeat or something along that line. I do have one criticism in my own theory: Ukitake would have to come into existence as a human after yhwach, have died as a human, and been taken in as a soul into yamamoto's school. If the timeline unravels in that progression, i'm even more convinced. Also I should note that yama-san would have a lot to gain by having a quincy as a captain (he must have expected yhwach to return at some point). Actually, one other thought while I type this. Perhaps ukitake had the majority of his quincy powers ripped from him by aushwallen. If that were the case, he would have needed to die as a human before aushwallen activated.

One final point. I can totally see Kubo using the friendship between Ukitake and Shunsui as a major plot point. Showing a deep friendship between the two races. something something inspiring yhwach to overlook the past. Anyhow, please comment and tell me what you think.
