For bleach fans and nauro fans, I've noticed that while watching bleach and naruto there have been various hand sighs that do look very very similar! I was wondering if Kubo(author of bleach) copied Kishi or if Kishi(author of naruto) copied Kubo! I dunno if they both had the same ideas but, it was very weird for me to see! What your opinion on this?

well they didn't copy them, they are real hand signs but they don't do jutsu's XD
they are for relaxing and flow of chakra (energy) in ones body

EDIT
oh and they use these things (hand signs) a lot at yoga

[Filip The Great]

Or some people refer to it as Chi or Ki...
And as omega said they are used to relax and focus,
releasing the chi(natural energy) in to your systems...

Ummm... Dunno... But for using Jutsus and kido(i think) powerfull techniques isn't really for relaxing?

[ichijin]

Well, they say you need to be calm and concentrate to draw out the most power

They say if you say the words out loud or do a battle cry while fighting, it promotes a stronger, more concentrated spirit.

It's the same with Kido and whatnot, the louder your chant the more concentrated you are and the more power you can draw out.

What we are saying is:
In the real world(where we live) those hand signs exist
for a LONG time... They are being used to concentrate and bring out your ki(chi) which helps you in your daily life, makes you relaxed, stronger, concentrated and.....

But in anime world (Bleach and Naruto)
The writers have adapted those hand signs for
their own need, such as performing jutsus and kido..
Naruto --> Chakra --> (Energy)
Bleach --> Reiatsu -->(Energy)
Real Life --> Chi(ki) -->(Energy)

But it's only used for different things..
Cuz in real life, it's obvious we can't perform Kido or turn banaki or...
And we can't perform jutsus....

So Kubo and Kishi didn't steal those hand signs from each other, but used the already existing ones from the real life...

EDIT: In real life we make those hand signs to focus our own energy and bring it out
and in anime they use it to perform some techniques...

So the Idea of both authors was the same and it was inspired by the real thing

It's a combination for both, the hand signs aren't original per say but in the world of entertainment or anime yes it is original.
