I was thinking of the recent episode of bleach, specifically where Ukitake uses the Shihouin House's crest to destroy soukyoku, how there are families in soul society? do they all operate on adoption like rukia into the kuchiki family? That got me thinking. if they all died from earth then why do most not have memories, or not want to die, assuming they get reincarnated again? why do SS people get cool powers and earthlings do not?
i think im reading way too far into this, but (apart from having nothing else to do) i have to wonder what Kubo is thinking.
