Summary:
The Quincy (滅却師 Kuinshī , Japanese for "Monk of Destruction") are living beings that have the ability to detect the existence of Hollows and other Souls. Most of the Quincy were exterminated by the Shinigami over 200 years ago in order to prevent the collapse of the worlds due to the Quincy over-hunting and destroying all Hollows they encountered. Quincy are the polar opposite of Shinigami.
Low/High-Tier Quincy:
This rating is given out to all Quincy's in the series:
Example: Uryu and Ryuken.
- Limited Blood Manipulation & Statistics Amplification (Using Blut, a Quincy can flood their blood vessels with energy to reinforce their defenses and enhance their attacks[1])
- Matter Manipulation, Deconstruction, Absorption, Damage Boost & Statistics Amplification (Macro-Quantum - Quincy's deconstruct, absorb and manipulate the ambient Reishi that exist around them[2], even down to manipulating electrons[3]. This has multiple applications to it such as increasing the[4] strength of an Quincy's combat-based capabilities[5] or amplifying an attack's speed/strength through adding more Reishi into it[6])
- Existence Erasure & Immortality Negation (Type 4) (Quincy Heilig Pfeils erase evil souls like Hollows from existence[7], completely destroying their soul and removing them from the cycle of reincarnation[8]. Although this was invented to combat hollows, Azashiro whose goal is to kill every hollow in Hueco Mundo, states that he'd need Uryu's Quincy abilities to correct the balance of the souls if neccesary, this statement cannot possibly pertain to killing hollows as Azashiro makes it clear that Uryu is practically a back up plan to correct the balance of souls after his purge[9] of Hueco Mundo is done and will not relinquish his Quincy: Zeichen until then. Note: The Existence Erasure effect of Heilg Pfeils only work on the spiritual and mental level)
- Heat Manipulation/Explosion Manipulation/Light Manipulation (Heilig Pfeil have shown to create heat[11]/explode on[12] contact[13] and are stated[14] to be made of light[15])
- Weapon Creation (Quincy’s can construct any type of weapon through the manipulation of Reishi-particles[16])
Quincy: Shadow
- Limited Darkness Manipulation & Summoning (Sternritters or beings that have been granted this ability can manipulate "Shadows" to travel between dimensions[17]. This ability can also be used to summon several members of the Soldat[18] to fight on behalf of the user[19])
Low-Tier Quincy Resistances:
This rating is given out to anyone Quincy with decent training.
Example: Uryu.
- Paralysis Inducement (Ransotengai allows Quincy to freely manipulate their bodies using spirit energy if their bodies would be inflicted with great physical harm or paralysis[20])
Sternritter Tier:
This is given to all Sternritter members with the exception of Uryu given he doesn't possess either a medallion, Vollständig nor any of the Special Quincy abilities within the series.
Example: Äs Nödt and Bazz-B.
All Previous Abilities Including:
- All Enhanced Matter Manipulation, Deconstruction, Absorption, Damage Boost & Statistics Amplification (Vollstandig increases the ability of Quincy's to deconstruct, absorb and manipulate Reishi massively[21], Blut can be used to massively increase a Quincy's durability or attack potency depending on which version is active[22])
- Further Enhanced Deconstruction, Absorption, Limited Transformation & Empowerment (Biological, Matter & Energy - Sklaverei deconstructs and absorbs everything around the user's vicinity, including Souls and Matter which is absorbed directly into the user in the form of a power boost and a physical appearance change that mimics some of the properties of the absorbed person/being[23])
- Power Absorption (Sternritter's possesses Medallions that allow them to steal the Bankai's of Soul Reapers[24], These stolen Bankai's can be used by the Sternritters from the medallions as well[25])
Quincy Blue Fire
- Fire Manipulation (High-ranked Quincy's are able to create "blue fire" which are composed of dense Reishi particles that can burn the sand and stone of Hueco Mundo despite the fact both are highly-resistant towards fire[26], This is further shown here[27])
- True Flight & Transformation (All Sternritter have access to a technique named Vollständig, the successor to the Quincy: Letzt Still[28]. It is activated through their Leidan Hant[29] and this grants them wings they can use to fly[30])
Sternritter-Tier Quincy Resistances:
This rating is given out to any Quincies that are superior to Äs Nödt and/or Royd Lloyd.
Example: Äs Nödt, Royd Lloyd, Jugram Haschwalth, Gerard Valkyrie, Yhwach.
- Absolute Zero via Blut Vene (A Quincy more powerful than Äs Nödt should be able to replicate the same level of resistance As showed to Rukia Kuchiki's Shikai[31])
- High Temperatures via Blut Vene (Any Quincy stronger than Royd Lloyd should be capable of surviving the 15 million degree heat of Zanka no Tachi West in close proximity[32])
