Koby Posted February 24, 2008 Report Share Posted February 24, 2008 In Bleach the Shinigami have often been called various things.In the English dub they are almost always called Soul Reapers.In the Japanese dub they are usually called Shinigami, though often called Death God as well.What is your personal favorite?When I was watching English Dub only my favorite was Soul Reaper, and I still kind of prefer it. But I've been watching the Japanese Dub lately and have gotten use to Shinigami and now I actually call them that normally.. :/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shade Posted February 28, 2008 Report Share Posted February 28, 2008 i don't know why but for once the Japanese did not stick and i call them death gods xDthough i can still recognize all 3 terms for them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vameq Posted February 28, 2008 Report Share Posted February 28, 2008 Well as I'm to understand SHINIGAMI translates into "Death God", so I usually refer to them as either shinigami or death gods...unless I'm talking to my friends who either don't watch it or only watch the english dub on adult swim because they're not gigantic anime fans Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Linoud Posted March 3, 2008 Report Share Posted March 3, 2008 I call it either Shinigami or Death God. It feels so much better than Soul reaper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sultan of Six Posted April 15, 2008 Report Share Posted April 15, 2008 Shinigami is my preferred reference. Death God is too bland, and somewhat boring (IMO). Soul Reaper is also good in some cases. But, I'd rather have them be called Shinigami. It sounds much better too and unique. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deathstinger Posted April 5, 2010 Report Share Posted April 5, 2010 Shinigami all the way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ma5K2 Posted April 11, 2010 Report Share Posted April 11, 2010 yeah, i used to call them soul reapers since i watch eng dub, but talking to my friend who watches it subbed calls them shinigami, and then i got used to calling them shinigami as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shirro Posted May 2, 2010 Report Share Posted May 2, 2010 What ever happened to the good old days when there was just the Grim Reaper? JK. Seriously though, I prefer Shinigami myself. It just sounds cooler. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cullbe Posted May 3, 2010 Report Share Posted May 3, 2010 I call them Shinigami Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MistressPenny Posted May 3, 2010 Report Share Posted May 3, 2010 I can't consider them Death Gods because it reminds me of Death Note. But I like Shinigami in the Japanese versions and Soul Reaper for the English. Either of those works for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottp Posted May 11, 2010 Report Share Posted May 11, 2010 I like Soul Reaper the best Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoheNExus Posted May 14, 2010 Report Share Posted May 14, 2010 Shinigami, which is odd since I watch the english dub but I read info on it on a wikia, so I mostly read shinigami insted of soul reaper so I think of shinigami insted Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coda Posted May 16, 2010 Report Share Posted May 16, 2010 I prefer Soul Reaper > Shinigami but generally use Shinigami to keep dub haters happy lol Plus Shinigami makes me think of Death Note more than Bleach Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimBob Posted May 25, 2010 Report Share Posted May 25, 2010 I started watching the series over in Iraq, all they had it in was Japanese with english sub. I was so used to hearing Shinigami all the time but when I bought the series in english and started watching it all over again Soul Reaper just sounds shit hot.

SChristine Posted May 30, 2010 Report Share Posted May 30, 2010 I'm a fan of soul reaper. Death God works for like Death Note. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bindy Posted May 30, 2010 Report Share Posted May 30, 2010 I am inclined to say I prefer Soul Reaper, as I always think of an actual Death God, thanks to Death Note, whenever I hear Shinigami, not a human spirit kind of thing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnimexOnigiri Posted May 31, 2010 Report Share Posted May 31, 2010 I like Shinigami the best because it sounds more . . . .. . *can't think of a word* 0.0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
