Hence why I said possibility, rather than fact.
Also Nation State boarders? Who the hell ever said that? I was always thinking it was based on largely massive zones consisting of huge chunks of a specific geographical area of earth. Succinctly explaining why this SS is predominately Japanese with some bent towards Chinese since that's the closest geographical location to Japan. If I had to wager the spiritual zone would likely largely persist of a huge amount of the ocean, certain island states which would cover the outliers like say Tousen, as well as at least some parts of China as well as Japan. Would succinctly explains the absolutely domination of Japanese culture for no decernable reason as well as why Language thing is pretty much never a problem.
Make no mistake Hueco Mundo being predominantly Spanish while everyone still speaks Japanese is still pretty silly, but at least they have an excuse of most of the beings over there being amalgamations of hundreds of thousands of people. Hence them knowing the multiple languages would make sense, odds are SOMEONE they ate may not have been a japanese speaker to say the least. :snigger:
And the Quincy art coming largely from Germany also still makes sense. Dude was from wherever the hell that was by all means, but the power and art that specifically became the Quincy norm what with the bows and everything being the ONLY WEAPONS they used? That had to start somewhere, especially since they're effectively an offshoot of what Bach's been doing lately. Since, you know, none of these guys are using conventional Quincy weapons for the most part. :sisi:
Could it be a stylistic choice? Certainly. Makes no sense to assume it is though when there's a perfectly valid potential explanation right there though. :snigger:
Also pretty big assumption that I wouldn't have the same qualms with an American version of this same scenario. Language barriers and how people in question deal with them as well as how certain general abilities a lot of cultures can develop would form and differ over all those wildly different cultures is actually a pretty big deal for me. Harry Potter for instance largely makes me wonder how the magic styles and teaching method's differ past england and what other general methods were developed in say China? Or how about over the centuries the Native American's still had control over this region? Not everyone likely just shouted Expecto Patronum, particularly since Latin isn't ubiquitous everywhere.
Negima, which is basically that on crack is much the same, and they actually deal with it directly since the Latin stuff comes from the guy from England while the Japanese magic we see (from Konoka largely) is quite different. In Negima they did it quite well to say the least.
Really the only qualm I draw culture wise is that every goddamn person uses Katana's, which I've largely grown majorly sick of (Which isn't an issue Unique to specifically Japanese media mind, there's some american shit where that's equally annoying, particularly vampire related garbage). With a valid excuse here sure, all Asuchi are the basis for it so fair enough, retcon though that was, but seriously I'm so bored of the Katana and really sword wank in general. :sweat2:
