[Killahkels]

shinigami exist outside of the bleach verse . Shinigami just another word for a spirit that guide your soul to heaven hell

Hiruzen used a tech involving the shinigami so did minato

 

[jvega]

Shinigami (死神?, "death god" or "death spirit") is an entity in Japanese folklore that is responsible for seeing that a person dies at their appointed time and then guiding their spirit to be judged in the afterlife. In this respect, Shinigami are related to the Western concept of the Grim Reaper. Though the Grim Reaper is a single entity, there are multiple shinigami which are often imagined as working together. Shinigami are a relatively recent addition to Japanese folklore.

SHINIGAMI ARE REAL (outside of Bleach, not in reality.)

 

[peteriscoo]

well its saying something when madara is all like "Im so strong I might as well be a shinigami"

 

[xxSalamanderxx]

its either making fun of Tite Kubo's Bleach or promoting it..

 

[VisionOfDisorder]

Ohmygod, seriously? Shinigami are just death spirits. Japanese Shintoism is where most of Naruto's references come from. "Tsukuyomi", "Amaterasu", "Susano'o" are also Japanese mythological figures.

He dropped a death note

Shinigami translates to death god. The *********** version of the chapter actually had death god written instead of shinigami.

I think it was just there to show how naive and immature Obito still was when compared to how tobi is. It could also just be there for comic relief. Or it could be there stating Madara is like a God over Death because he has cheated death its self by being attached to the mazou.

Too dumb to correctly spell 'too.'

Sorry, I couldn't resist.

death god is universal according to japanese culture
