The thing about Eagle Without Wings and Eagle(s) With Wings:

The alternate name for the star Hikoboshi is Altair - also known as the Flying Eagle or Winged Eagle. Orihime/Vega is also called the Falling Eagle or, as Kubo phrased it, an eagle without wings.

I think it's significant that Kubo titled the chapter where Orihime goes missing after her star, and the chapter where Ichigo, Chad, and Ishida decide to go rescue her after Altair. Except in this case, all three of them are Altair, judging from the plural in the title.

The titles repeat later when Ichigo goes into FKT - I think in that context, he was the Eagle Without Wings and all the shinigami fighting for him were his Altair ( ... )

Thanks so much for explaining that! I've linked this comment in the body of the essay so everybody else can read it, too. =)

And yes, I figured it was time for an update since they've grown so much since the last one was written. ^.~ Thanks for reading! ♥

Hee, thank you! I think there's a mention of that on FLOL too, in one of ED's essays.

As others have said, I liked that you didn't overhype anything here - you just stated bare facts without having to spin them or tell anyone how to read. People should be free to make their own interpretations, and this essay does allow for that. And I think that's great!

I was going to link the list of essays and manifestos here but the entry got too big. =( Hopefully people will check it out when they check out FLOL anyway.

And thank you very much, I definitely agree! ♥ /hugs

Oh, and you're welcome! Thank you for taking the time to explain it to me. ^^
