I was just commenting that it feels limiting because it asserts that no other spiritual realm could possibly exist, if I misunderstood then please tell me, cause thats what I got out of the explanation. And no I dont think I'm overthinking it, Kubo has given us only bits and pieces of information regarding the world of Bleach and any hard fact should be examined under a great deal of scrutiny. Kubo put the time and effort to devote nearly half a chapter to that one conversation, so yes I do happen to think its relevant. And yes you're right it is about balance, which is exactly why I bothered to do the calculation in the first place. It was the first real look into why Quincy who hunted and killed Hollows needed to be eradicated.

Otherwise 28,000 souls is nothing but a single drop of rain in an ocean. That's not balance, that's not even a cursory glance for anyone to be worried about. I proved that with facts and evidence to back it up in the Founding Captains post. If it concerns only the population of Japan, then it was a serious problem. If its the world population, you might need to add about three 0's at the end for it even matter. But it was enough of a problem that it needed to be corrected, as it addressed the very reason Shinigami supposedly exist, and it was proportionate to the population of Japan and its death rate, so yes I do think I'm not overanalyzing this.

You and Chico want Soul Society to be the Heaven for the entire world, great, it makes things easy however the facts and evidence we have so far simply do not support that theory. It also ignores Japan's own mythology and creation myth which was centered on the islands of Japan itself. Im not sure why you're so against the idea Z, you have a Quetzacoatl as a Captain. And if its just a matter of perspective why call them that at all? Shouldnt they be an Orochi, Hebi or something like that? Why introduce creatures with latin names and myth, if they are all apart of the same pantheon to begin with? Either they are different and come from diferent realms, or its just an exercise in trying to be unique where it doesnt actually exist.

I support their being more than one Heaven because it makes sense. Soul Society hadnt even existed until about 2000 years ago. So what hapepned before that? Where did all the souls go, where was the Soul King and the cycle of reincarnation? What about the Chinese or the Indian's who spanned across a larger landmass, along with their gods and culture? By all rights they've been around for much longer than Japan's culture and mythology so shouldn't their heaven have priority? But you're going to ignore them because its... inconveinent?

Im not in agreement with your creation story because it does not address nor reconcile this massive plot hole. As I said, its good, great even, but in the context of Bleach it doesnt address let alone acknowledge the potential for other culture's, mythology or spiritual realms.
