![]() The Quincy were scattered all over the world at one time. The differences between Quincy and Shinigami in costume and iconography are minor compared to the differences in weaponry and ideology. There is also a six-pointed cross that appears on the back of Uryū's Quincy tunic. The cross is not the same shape among all Quincy. One peculiar recurring motif of Quincy is that of a cross, which appears frequently on their uniforms and artifacts. This gives the Quincy a distinctly "foreign" or "Western" style compared to the Shinigami. While the Shinigami wear traditional, black, flowing hakama, the Quincy wear white, form-fitting, high-collared tunics. The final point of contrast between the Quincy and Shinigami is their respective choice of uniform. In order to preserve their pure lineage, many families conducted arranged marriages between their own children and only those belonging to other pure families. Those who were descended from a long line of only Quincy and so, were thought to have a pure heritage, came to be known as Echt "Pure-Blooded") Quincy, while all others were instead referred to as Gemischt ("Mixed-Blooded"). Quincy have an acute perception of Reiatsu.Īt some point within their history, the Quincy began to distinguish themselves based upon an individual's ancestry and adopted the practice of true-breeding. Spiritual Awareness: As a spiritual being, the Quincy can sense Hollows and other spiritual beings at a significant distance, and tell in what direction they are in.The only limit to a Quincy's ability to create and fire arrows is their own stamina and ability to absorb ambient Reishi. Spirit Weapon: The weapon that Quincy create by gathering the Reishi in the air.To a sufficiently powerful Quincy, there is no difference between Reishi and Reiryoku as a source of power. They fight using a power from outside.They have an easier time collecting this energy in environments with higher concentrations of Reishi such as in Soul Society or Hueco Mundo. On the contrary, a Quincy uses the Reishi in the atmosphere, and combines it with his/her Reiryoku to create weapons. It can be said they fight using a power from within. Shinigami use the spiritual power created from their soul in conjunction with a Zanpakutō to fight against the Hollows. Reishi Absorption: Although Shinigami and Quincy both use Reiryoku when fighting, they both have a completely opposite fighting style.Quincy are spiritually aware Humans able to absorb and manipulate Reishi into spiritual weapons. It all started when they began training to confront Hollows in order to defeat them, the same as Shinigami do.Most of the Quincy were destroyed by the Shinigami over 200 years ago in order to prevent the destruction of the world.Quincy are the complete polar opposite of Shinigami. The Quincy ("Monk of Destruction") in modern terms, were Human mediums, having the ability to detect the existence of Hollows. ![]()
