User blog comment:Silver-Haired Seireitou/Sake Time with Sei - Sternritter and their Powers/@comment-3008090-20140327173621

I have to agree with much of what you say, in that most Quincy abilities can be based and/or circle back to Reishi manipulation. It may also be a possibility that some of the Quincy are not/were not even human to begin with, citing most of the Arrancar that the Wandenreich has in it's ranks. For example, would it be so hard for one to assume that is some sort of  or some such. He is also one of the few Sternritter whom do not have the "-iel" prefix in his Vollstandig, not that this is conclusive evidence.

Another thing that bothers me, also, is Uryu Ishida and his blood line. He seems to be on some sort of alternate blood line that appears to be independent of Ywach (pardon my phrasing but until Kubo elaborates a but more, this is what I am assuming). Allow me to elaborate some of my thoughts... Uryu's mother,, was a proven Gemischt Quincy, or mixed blooded Quincy, while Ryuken's blood line is an Echt Quincy, or pure blooded Quincy. Now, the questions...


 * Wouldn't this still make Uryu a Gemischt Quincy, given his mother's mixed Quincy race?
 * If the above is indeed correct, why were his powers not taken away, like his mother's, during the process of Auswählen?
 * If his blood line is isolated from Ywach's, is there a way for others to do without losing their powers?
