[Theory] Stern Ritter and Ichida

[marijuanna]

I've been thinking about some of the loose ends in the wanderich,and I might be right about some stuff, here it goes...

It bothered me that ichida got his power from a boring ritual while some of the sterritter have showed us that they've had it since birth. But it might just be both, diferent quincy families carry potential for diferent gifts, diferent letters, and it seem some other characters may have been impling the same.

There you can see Kirge Opie didnt even know ichida, but if he was a Uryuu than he must be stronger than him. Juha Bach himself impled that Ichida had something diferent, and giving he now has the letter A is not that far fetched to say that this power was always in his blood, his royal blood.

That would mean that the quincy are still alive, and those stern ritter are the descendent of Juha's former army, maybe some were pure bloods picked up after the death of gemistch, but the point is they're not souls. Also why they need blut to attack/deffend properly.
But I still cant wrap my head around the reason why Juha does not recognize Ichida's father, he should be still alive and kicking, enought to have a materialized bow all allong, maybe it has something to do with this, maybe not, what do you guys think.

The letters are aspects of the Sternritter which means Star Knights. The elite of the Vandenreich (as there is still an army of lesser Quincy).


Uryu Ishida Opie did recognize Uryu. He was asking if the Ishida Ichigo referred to is Uryu Ishida, and if so it's impossible for his arrows to out power Uryu's. As you mentioned, this is likely because of some blood like Uryu belongs too.



I'm not understanding how Bach doesn't recognize Ryuken or whatever his name was. Bach refers to his surprise that Uryu lived because Uryu is a mixed blood Quincy: meaning his mother wasn't a full blooded Quincy. Thus, not only his heritage, but something else in Uryu's blood makes him special.


It likely had to do with hollows. We recently discovered Quincy have no natural defense from Hollows so they die easily... Thus the bow and all the soul destruction of Hollows. Uryu who's mixed HAS a defense against it... It would also mean be can take a bankai without being damaged by Urahara's arrancar pill. Topple on some royal (assumed) blood and he's suddenly a lot more special than we think.

Maybe uryuus mother was half shinigami with her being a mixed blood and all so ishida would be 1/4 shinigami and 3/4 quincy

Ishida's father is from a pure-blooded family. They must have been elite Quincies. Ishida's grandmother valued blood purity above all, maybe that's why Opie thought Ishida couldn't be weaker than him. Because of his lineage.

And the letters are given by Juha Bach. He gave Ishida one too.

And no, Ishida had his powers since birth. But he lost them against Mayuri. That's why he had to undergo the ritual to get them back.

How does any of this show that the quincy's are still alive? It just shows that Uryu has something special that hasn't been shown yet that the other quincies didn't have.

That's why he was the only one to survive.
