| Re: Bleach (Death God or Soul Reaper?)
I'll just repeat what I said the last time I was here.
KUBOTITE INTENDED THE MEANING OF "SHINIGAMI" TO BE "SOUL REAPER".
Therefore the Bleach version of Shinigami does NOT mean "death god". The author intended it to be "soul reaper".
Yes, essentially it does all mean the same thing, but this is an exception in the sense that an author has literary freedom to change definitions of terms as well as the ability to label his creations whichever way he wants to rather than what the general public wants. |
