Bleach (Death God or Soul Reaper?) - Page 2

death god is also known as shinigami, but a soul reaper is the sword that the shinigami use

Me use big letters for this.

Kubotite intended Shinigami to mean "Soul Reaper".

His definition of Shinigami is "Soul Reaper".

Shinigami = Soul Reaper.
Zanpakuto = Soul Slayer.

well i guess it can be either one....it all goes with the translations. there are alot of things that the japanese versions say...but when translated into english they change it...but i guess if the origianal version says death god...we can go with that^^

~!! I do not think a bunch of sword-carrying, hair-colored, animated characters can be regarded as Death Gods. To the international audience, they are to be pictured as soul reapers, same for the Japanese audience ~!!!!!!! Them characters may so be thought of as representatives of the actual Death Gods, not Gods themselves ~ They simply perform their duty by transmigrating dead and/or lost souls to the actual Death God(s). That's how it is in Shintoism, Hinduism, and Buddhism~ Even those hollows, as they are called, are creatures that can be found in myths of Hinduism and Buddhism ~ Some of the things depicted in the anime, Bleach, in fact relate to the actual concepts in those aforementioned religions.

Btw, nice to have you back, InnerHell! ^_^

A death god is known as both a Shinigami and a soul reaper, the sword is a Zanpactou!

*Blade X* · Feb 12, 2007, 12:25 AM

the sword is Zanpakuto, get the spelling right. anyways it's just a question of perpcetion

When I first saw Bleach, it was named Death God that was the Jap version and I don't really watch the English version but I'm guessing they use Soul Reaper instead of Death God in the English version.

idk if anyone said it yet however Tite Kubo himself said in an interview i read once that he prefers that Shinigami be translated as Soul Reaper in the series rather than deathgod. I believe it said somewhere that he requested they call it SoulReaper in english instead of deathgod as well.

EDIT-Scrolled down and seen that innhell stated this xD;;

If the author himself says what they really are then what are you people still talking about!?

I prefer the term "shinigami", which is the same word that they use in many of the English translations of the manga "Deathnote". But anyway, it doesn't really matter that much. I just like the sound of shinigami. ^^
