So...Ichigo's true Bankai. These are just my thoughts on it as I said, but what do you think is really going on? Am I right or completely wrong? I'd love to hear your take so let me know!

This is my theory 1) What we call "true Bankai" is not the ultimate bankai, Ichigo's bankai has always been a wearable Bankai who fixed his dress with his Riatsu 2) If only the sword changes it means that ichigo has not yet mastered his skills. (Ichigo himself confirms that he has no experience with his new powers, and he's discovering them while fighting against Ywach), so if this "True Bankai" was destroyed it could still be repaired or evolved. 2) When Ywach destroys Ichigo's "true bankai" for the first time, he also steals ichigo's Quincy / Hollow powers (vol.74 ch 680. pag.1-2-3) 3) Inoue and Tsukishima "fix the blade" (make sure it has NEVER been broken with their powers to change the past and deny events) 4) To form the "true Bankai" the powers of all 4 races are needed. Ichigo must fuse his swords and unite his powers. So if Ichigo no longer has all his powers, that sword is no longer his Bankai even if it has the shape of it. 5) The sword has become an empty shell containing a regressed version of the sword of ichigo, a shape that resembles ichigo's first shikai in appearance ( as seen in the vision of jugram which ywach interprets as a dream) 6) However that form is neither a bankai, nor a shikai nor an asauchi, it is a temporary form born from the change of state of ichigo's powers when the sword was in "true bankai" form 7) what is certain is that ichigo is now only a shinigami and in order to see the true shape of his sword, with only his shinigami powers, he would have to return to shikai (which has also changed) and then reactivate the bankai. 8) When Ywach destroys Ichigo's sword for the second time, he does not destroy the real blade but only its empty shell which contained the temporary and regressed version of the sword. 9) CFYOW vol.2 ch1. ichigo's hollow / quincy powers are back after Ywach's death, Urhara talks about it. Ichibe confirmed it that Ichigo has his powers back because he was a candidate for the Soul King. And you need to be a Hybrid to be even considered. So he has got back his either Hollow, Quincy or both powers back. 10) The adult version of ichigo therefore has all the powers of the 4 races, should have the shikai with the double sword and can combine them to form the "true Bankai" seen the first time. Also after 10 years I expect the dress to evolve too and the "true bankai" to reach its final shape with the dress that has ichigo with the bow in Brave souls. 11) The adult ichigo version released in the game ignores everything I've written so far ... Ichigo's dress is that of a common and generic shinigami, the sword has a shape that should no longer have, whether ichigo had regained the powers or not. 12) -Conclusion: Klab released this new ichigo without reasoning and without asking questions, creating a script hole -This could be a version of ichigo where they ignore the fact that his powers are back (but the sword shouldn't have that shape anyway) -or it could be a version of ichgio with a "strange" Asauchi like kenpachi, where ichigo like isshin can use the blue getsuda with the sealed sword, this version of ichigo would have all the powers but wouldn't be using them for now. -Another very valid theory is that that sword is his bankai when Ichigo only uses his shinihami powers. - When he first activated the bankai ichigo was in shikai but the longer sword was white (quincy powers) and ichigo was using hollowfication so the sword took the aspect we see for a moment against Ywach. -It is possible that in this adult form ichigo raised the double shikai sword and said Bankai without first using the hollow and quincy powers (so the long sword was still black) so the bankai with only his shinigami powers appears as in the image . -If this theory is correct it means that ichigo's new Bankai changes the shape of his sword and clothes depending on how many and which of his race powers he is using. 13) To conclude I would like to ask a question, we know that a bankai of a shigami cannot be repaired, but is ichigo a common shimigami with a common Bankai? Ichigo does not have an affiliation, it is a new chimeric race formed by the DNA of the 4 main races, in theory the Bankai of ichigo that creates by combining its powers is not a common shinigami bankai, we call it bankai but it could be a new type of weapon completely different that only Ichigo and Hikone (if he had a zampakuto) can use, a weapon that is not subject to the rules of the shinigami world, a weapon that is not a common bankai so it can be repaired even when it breaks, for example by using the quincy technique "sklaverei" The sure thing is that we have never seen ichigo's true bankai in action, we only know that it can do the same things as Hikone (CFYOW), merge getsuda with various Cero and Blut, merge reiatsu shinigami with Hierro and blut, merge all 4 speed techniques to use God speed etc.

Perhaps his true power is that of a god killer, a blade so dangerous it hands out certain death. This denoted by tensa- heavenly chain suggesting a truly inescapable fate, and the zangetsu- slaying moon with the moon being seen as a divine/celestial body. A power that ties into yhwach's fear of death.

I think this is honestly more accurate than the video explanation. Every time some being rises up to try to capture power resembling a god, Ichigo is there, in some manner, and brings them down. Being stripped of the powers doesnt matter. He lost power many times before, yet it isnt ever actually gone. As you put it, he is chained to that fate. Ichigo being a "perfect balance" of the races is a symbol for equality and harmony. Ichigo is taught bias, but befriends people from all sides. Again, that shows him being a draw towards balance.

Honestly, wonder why. Probably because of the zanpakutô's ability. "Concentrate reiatsu in the blade (then fire it)". Aside from the possible extra damage the hollow reiatsu could deal, what else could it be? Oh, wait. Innate "Sklaverei". Being able to absorb reiatsu/reishi as the natural ability of the weapon... so any spiritual body could be annihilated/absorbed and consumed. Maybe this was it?

Not to sound like "That Guy" but: - in CFYOW it's stated that Ichigo powers eventually returned: When Aizen was getting re-imprisoned it was stated that nobody wanted Ichigo anywhere near it cuz Aizen might trigger his inner-Hollow into causing chaos. - The Longsword represents his Shinigami/Hollow side (which are revealed to be one and the same by Oh-etsu) hence the shape akin to his past shikai and the hollow section and it's going white is more akin to an hollowfication (HoS IS an hollowfication) rather than being Quincy based still awesome video

@umelgaming3177 3 жыл бұрын
was going to mention this myself but figured I would look at the comments first before I did. I think we need to add another point to this: - Ichigo's Bankai didn't break a second time and reveal is old Shikai in the process as many people seem to think. The entire time the white part of his Bankai was in fact an elaborate sheath for his Zanpakuto. What this actually means is that his True Bankai looks like his Original Shikai from the start and is covered with the White Sheath giving it a somewhat different appearance. So there really is no symbolism connected with Ywach stealing his Quincy Powers and that makes it look like his original Shikai. This next bit is conjecture on my part but I have always assumed that Ichigo's Bankai works in stages. First, it starts with the black and white design, then it fades away to look like his original Shikai AND THEN (this is where my pure conjecture comes in) that can also break away to reveal His Original Bankai (my only supporting evidence his that the hilt of the True Bankai has the same design as the Original Bankai and Doesn't look like the Original Shikai's hilt, though TBF that hilt was covered in bandages). My belief is that each time he chips away at the sword's size he focuses more and more Reiatsu into his actual attacks. Once again pure speculation but i believe that it fits better with what we know

@@umelgaming3177 Never thought it that way... nice thinking; If I may I've got a funny little theory that I got reminded rn: To me the "Bankai" shattering was as simple as the Bankai wearing off and the blade reverting into its Shikai state. You see: - In CFYOW it's stated that Dual Zanpakuto do NOT exist in nature and are always occurring through outside interference: - Shunsui split his zanpakuto to hide Nanao's one - Ukitake's was due Mimihagi residing in his being - Hisagi doesn't have a dual Zanpakuto: it's a single weapon rather than 2 blades connect by a chain; It Ichigo was the one who choose to reforge his powers separately to better control them however upon entering into Bankai the blades become one again and as we know the "truest" form of Ichigo's power is the Merged Zangetsu. One of the great advantages of "Katana Tensa Zangetsu" was its compressed power that allowed Ichigo to maintain the Bankai for long periods of time, however "Matrioska Tensa Zangetsu" it's a massive blade hence it consumes a lot more reiatsu than ever before. This is pretty much how i interpreted it anyway

@@umbral9021 could also work but didn't that passage from CFYOW also mention that Ichigo is an exception (due to having two sources of power) and not public knowledge (so they left him out of that statement). So it might be the fact that for him having a dual Zanpukuto is actually the natural form and would contradict that statement but they are simply hiding the fact since his powers are not known to the general public. Also, having two fonts of power isn't natural itself so that further makes his dual Zanpakuto being unnatural not matter. Not saying his Bankai cannot be "reforged" as it were. Essentially, my understanding of it is that immature Bankai is still developing. Toshiro is a good example the Ice Petals used to be a timer telling when he would leave his Bankai, now he just transforms into an older version of himself. The common knowledge is that it takes a decade to master a Bankai completely, I think this is due to this volatile and adaptive nature they possess where they cannot be repaired in the truest sense if they are damaged but they can still change in this time period. That being said the combo of Tsukishima's ability to change the past of an object and Orihime's ability to reject time and space were able to fix Ichigo's Bankai completely but that was a one-off occasion. The point here though is that Ichigo's Bankai in the second encounter wasn't damaged and wouldn't need to be reforged. At any time during this second skirmish up to where Ichigo struck the final blow (when the white sheath chipped away) Ichigo was never harmed, nor his Zanpakuto, by Ywach. You gotta remember Aizen was fighting with Ichigo and Ywach was under his hypnosis since they met in Muken. Ywach can only change the future of something if he can actually see it after all and if everything he sees is an illusion then his power is moot. Wow... I wanted to fit everything in one reply and man is it long my bad lol.

Ever since he met Rukia, Ichigo has identified himself as a shinigami. When he found out about his Hollow powers he didn't identify himself as a Hollow, when he found out about his Quincy powers he didn't identify himself as a Quincy. Ichigo chose the path of the Shinigami through everything he has been through, so it's fitting that at the very end he has become a true and pure shinigami as opposed to a hybrid.

I don't think Ichigo was pure Shinigami when defeating Yhwach. We know Tsukashima restored his bankai, making it so that it was never broken. And we know White and Old Man Zangetsu are his Zanpakuto spirits. So Ichigo must have regained his hollow and Quincy powers in that moment as you cannot use Bankai without Zanpakuto spirits. So he was still transcendent, a perfect hybrid, when everything was said and done. Shikai is the true form of the Asauchi while Bankai is the true form of the Zanpakuto spirit, as explained in the manga and light novel. This explains the duality of his true Bankai blade since he now has 2 Zanpakuto spirits whereas before he only had 1: White. But i think you're reversing the two sides. The case is White and the inner blade is Old Man Zangetsu. The reason I think this is because ichigo used that as his Shikai back when Old Man Zangetsu was the "core" of his power and, for all intents and purposes, his Asauchi. Until Oetsu reforged his Zanpakuto of course. Therefore, that final blade he used to kill Yhwach was actually the sum his Quincy powers meaning that Ichigo defeated Yhwach not with White, but with Old Man Zangetsu.

This is my theory 1) What we call "true Bankai" is not the ultimate bankai, Ichigo's bankai has always been a wearable Bankai who fixed his dress with his Riatsu 2) If only the sword changes it means that ichigo has not yet mastered his skills. (Ichigo himself confirms that he has no experience with his new powers, and he's discovering them while fighting against Ywach), so if this "True Bankai" was destroyed it could still be repaired or evolved. 2) When Ywach destroys Ichigo's "true bankai" for the first time, he also steals ichigo's Quincy / Hollow powers (vol.74 ch 680. pag.1-2-3) 3) Inoue and Tsukishima "fix the blade" (make sure it has NEVER been broken with their powers to change the past and deny events) 4) To form the "true Bankai" the powers of all 4 races are needed. Ichigo must fuse his swords and unite his powers. So if Ichigo no longer has all his powers, that sword is no longer his Bankai even if it has the shape of it. 5) The sword has become an empty shell containing a regressed version of the sword of ichigo, a shape that resembles ichigo's first shikai in appearance ( as seen in the vision of jugram which ywach interprets as a dream) 6) However that form is neither a bankai, nor a shikai nor an asauchi, it is a temporary form born from the change of state of ichigo's powers when the sword was in "true bankai" form 7) what is certain is that ichigo is now only a shinigami and in order to see the true shape of his sword, with only his shinigami powers, he would have to return to shikai (which has also changed) and then reactivate the bankai. 8) When Ywach destroys Ichigo's sword for the second time, he does not destroy the real blade but only its empty shell which contained the temporary and regressed version of the sword. 9) CFYOW vol.2 ch1. ichigo's hollow / quincy powers are back after Ywach's death, Urhara talks about it. Ichibe confirmed it that Ichigo has his powers back because he was a candidate for the Soul King. And you need to be a Hybrid to be even considered. So he has got back his either Hollow, Quincy or both powers back. 10) The adult version of ichigo therefore has all the powers of the 4 races, should have the shikai with the double sword and can combine them to form the "true Bankai" seen the first time. Also after 10 years I expect the dress to evolve too and the "true bankai" to reach its final shape with the dress that has ichigo with the bow in Brave souls. 11) The adult ichigo version released in the game ignores everything I've written so far ... Ichigo's dress is that of a common and generic shinigami, the sword has a shape that should no longer have, whether ichigo had regained the powers or not. 12) -Conclusion: Klab released this new ichigo without reasoning and without asking questions, creating a script hole -This could be a version of ichigo where they ignore the fact that his powers are back (but the sword shouldn't have that shape anyway) -or it could be a version of ichgio with a "strange" Asauchi like kenpachi, where ichigo like isshin can use the blue getsuda with the sealed sword, this version of ichigo would have all the powers but wouldn't be using them for now. -Another very valid theory is that that sword is his bankai when Ichigo only uses his shinihami powers. - When he first activated the bankai ichigo was in shikai but the longer sword was white (quincy powers) and ichigo was using hollowfication so the sword took the aspect we see for a moment against Ywach. -It is possible that in this adult form ichigo raised the double shikai sword and said Bankai without first using the hollow and quincy powers (so the long sword was still black) so the bankai with only his shinigami powers appears as in the image . -If this theory is correct it means that ichigo's new Bankai changes the shape of his sword and clothes depending on how many and which of his race powers he is using. 13) To conclude I would like to ask a question, we know that a bankai of a shigami cannot be repaired, but is ichigo a common shimigami with a common Bankai? Ichigo does not have an affiliation, it is a new chimeric race formed by the DNA of the 4 main races, in theory the Bankai of ichigo that creates by combining its powers is not a common shinigami bankai, we call it bankai but it could be a new type of weapon completely different that only Ichigo and Hikone (if he had a zampakuto) can use, a weapon that is not subject to the rules of the shinigami world, a weapon that is not a common bankai so it can be repaired even when it breaks, for example by using the quincy technique "sklaverei" The sure thing is that we have never seen ichigo's true bankai in action, we only know that it can do the same things as Hikone (CFYOW), merge getsuda with various Cero and Blut, merge reiatsu shinigami with Hierro and blut, merge all 4 speed techniques to use God speed etc.

I like this theory, but I have my own take on it. Maybe instead of it being a representation of him losing his power it’s of his power fulling coming together undistinguished. Look at it like this, his horn of salvation, the white on his sword still show that his power are deprecate but are being used together. It’s like ichigo has a key to a door to another room. Yes it’s his but that door still has to be opened. I think his true bankai is a visual representation of no longer having a door. Instead of having two rooms and a door it’s just one big room. No longer being able to distinguish between the three powers. Making a perfect union rather than three separate power sources, making ichigo accept and truly understand that these abilities aren’t three but one.

I think that having his original shikai as the final sword does actually have very strong connotations of symbolism, but I think its more that its his shinigami powers finally settling inside himself properly without the interference of the quincy side and the hollow side. From what Ive read of the lore of Zanpakuto and Shinigami in Bleach, a Shinigami is utilizing the powers of the soul inside to combat hollows and other beings. Essentially, both the Shikai and the Bankai of a shinigami are a representation of the soul, in fact a display of the soul. Its why some characters can only perform shikai, as they dont understand their zanpakuto spirit, or the representative of the soul enough to use their power. Ichigo has had outside influences on his soul from the moment he was born, with a shard of Ywachs soul in him from his heritage and the hollow that accompanied it. Although Ichigo accepted both of them as a part of Zangetsu, with Old Man Zangetsu guiding his powers and Hollow Ichigo supplementing it, both Old Man Zangetsu and Hollow Ichigo were still very much outside influences, and both were still not part of Ichigos soul originally. In the scenes where his bankai was consistently being broken, this shows Ywach essentially stripping Ichigo of the outside influences on his life, and when Ichigo is actually drained of them, he finally reaches his actual bankai, which incidentally resembles the sword that Ichigo gained when he was most sure of his life, of his identity, and most importantly, when he felt that he was himself with no influence. Both Old Man Zangetsu and Hollow Ichigo were distinctly separate from Ichigos own soul. Hollow Ichigo resembled Ichigo because he grew with Ichigo while Old Man Zangetsu was always viewed as a mentor for Ichigo instead of being him. In fact, although the Old Man and Hollow Ichigo have stated that they are both Zangetsu, it is never directly stated that they are Ichigo. The loss of the Old Man and the Hollow leave Ichigo slowly crumbling, like the outer form of his sword in his bankai, but the main component, Ichigo himself remains inside, and remains the same after everything. (I dont know if this makes sense, Ive only watched a few episodes of Bleach, so please do tell me if I am wrong about anything!)

When it comes to Ichigo’s true Bankai, it seems that it is a combination Bankai. The white fragments potentially being the manifestation of his Quincy abilities, the chains being potentially his Shinigami abilities, while the Black black blade is his Hollow abilities. His unique nature may be why his Bankai is so different from the status quo of others. This would be similar to the Shinigami who ultimately fused with his Bankai and grew too powerful, or the Zanpaktuo Muramasa that developed to be able to be separated from his master Shinigami despite being a direct manifestation of his spiritual pressure like all Shinigami zanpaktuo. Each of these were so distinct that they became something else. We even have Nanao who wields a clan Zanpaktuo and does not actually have one of her own despite being a Shinigami. Her sword was there long before her and will be there after she is passed on for another of her clan to wield. We even have the fan favorite with his ice Dragon Zanpaktuo and he was one of two people who had the same Zanpaktuo. So instead of one Shinigami having two swords, we have one manifestation having two Shinigami wielding it at the same time. I share this to give context to the idea that there have been unique abilities within the Bleach Universe. Ichigo’s Zanpaktuo may just be another one of these distinctions. So when The Quincy king attacked Ichigo’s Bankai a second time, it may have been the Quincy ability that shielded his blade and shattered to allow his Hollow abilities as the blade to cut through him... or maybe the blade was his Shinigami abilities and the chains were his hollow abilities... either way, it could have been the unique nature of his abilities to be able to splinter apart to prevent the Quincy King from holding control over him. I say this because Ichigo’s Journey in the story included a developing relationship between his personified abilities and having them work together in some way. Just a thought I had.

Got an idea based on clues from Brave Souls’ 10 Years Later characters: Ichigo still seems to have that exact same blade that emerged from the “True Bankai” but it no longer strains him and he treats it as a Shikai. If we go with the theme of the Moon, it could be an aspect of Ichigo’s constant growth, of the moon constantly going through waxing and waning cycles, continually progressing and evolving in contrast to the conventions of most Zanpakuto. Even Oetsu considered Zangetsu massively unorthodox due to never using an Asauchi for the longest time. It could be that the Bankai that’s the subject of this video was the True Bankai back then, but now there’s a NEW True Bankai ten years later. And it would probably make the Wandenreich cower on sight.

In the "Can't Fear Your Own World" Light Novel (with Kubo being the writer's main source of information), it is stated that Ichigo kept his Quincy and Hollow powers, so he's still a Tribird. I like to think that the final panel was Ichigo breaking through the barrier that hid his True Bankai. Bare in mind Ichigo had just achieved his new Bankai. As Byakuya said, it takes years for a Shinigami to master their Bankai and draw out it's full potential. Look at Toshirō, he trained all throughout the Manga and achieved his true Bankai at the end of the series. The time skip to where Ichigo is a fully grown adult (and married to Orihime, both of whom created their child, Kazui) could shed some light on Ichigo's Bankai, considering he's had a decade or so to train and master it. In the Manga, it's HEAVILY implied that Ichigo's Bankai is a blade that can kill anything permanently, with no constraints. It's why Yhwach called it dangerous and broke it, and also why he made Ichigo kill the Soul King. Only Ichigo's blade could kill the Soul King. Yhwach has the power to see the future, and knew that Ichigo would attempt to stop him, so he waited in the Soul King's room. When Ichigo killed Yhwach, the remaining piece of him in the future (Kazui was about to grab it, not knowing what it was), disappeared. This is because Ichigo's blade deals out a permanent death, with no limit to it's effect. It completely erases whoever is cut down by it. Think of it like this, here's an example; Ichigo cuts off Yhwach's arm, then that arm is sent to the future. When Ichigo kills Yhwach, his arm, which is in the future, disappears with Yhwach's present body, as that arm is still a piece of Yhwach. The name of Ichigo's Bankai is "Tensa Zangetsu" (天鎖斬月), which translated says "Heaven Chain Slaying Moon". In Japanese mythology, the moon represents a divine entity. The chain is the chain of fate. His Zanpakutō's Bankai name is quite literally "The heavenly chain of fate that slays Deities". This is represented in the chain that appears attached on the Bankai's kashira-gane. Even Ichigo's iconic attack "Getsuga Tenshō" is translated as "Moon Fang Heaven-Piercer", aka "Heavenly Divine God Piercer".

And maybe a little side story about how they are handling the fact that they don't get to spend as much time with ichigo and are always worrying about him and stuff.

Yeah, I mostly agree with a lot of this. I really thought we would've gotten more Quincy-like projectile-based combat from Ichigo in this final arc. Like I was thinking he could make the 2 blades operate like a makeshift bow and arrow and then have a new ability that can unite them from any distance so it's a kind of Flying Raijin kind of move but it's really a super-fast version of Shunpo on the level of Yoruichi's speed. So he fires one blade and then moves to that location immediately to fire again, rinse and repeat and it would line up conceptually with the speed boost he got when he took on Byakuya in the Soul Society arc.

Dialogue in the fight also stated that Ichigo needed Yhwach's quincy power to tip the balance between his own quincy and hollow powers. That's what Ichigo meant by not being able to do it on his own. - Ichigo gets his powers back in the CFYOW novels. Been confirmed. Really cool theory, though. Love the thematic analysis.

When Ichigo forges his "true shikai", it is still not his true shikai but only his hollow and quincy powers. You can see that the blades are both missing their cores. After Ichigo releases his "true bankai", it is still only his quincy and hollow powers. Yhwach only took Ichigo's quincy and hollow powers, but his own powers representing his younger form stayed behind and Ichigo basically killed Yhwach with his own power, representing the original shikai given to Ichigo by younger Yhwach. There are two big questions open: - How did Ichigo come into possession of Yhwach's powers? Probably passed down by his mother as a distant relative. - What does Ichigo's true zanpakutou look like? This is still not revealed.

This is a really great explanation given the lack of info concerning his true banki and what happens in this last arc! With that being said I still kinda hope not…I like ichigo being an amalgamation of all these different races an power. I would ask though based on the explanation given here why is ichigo being an amalgamation not his “true self”? The explanation of why he doesn’t use a mask anymore is spot on…so similarly him using all his powers should be representative of his true self (his powers inherently from his father, mother and the hollow white).

Any speculation on the powers of his true bankai? Here's my theory. Since the powers of one's zanpakuto are supposed to be a reflection of one's true inner self, I think there's a few directions Kubo was going to go (or could have gone) with this. And as an aside, one aspect of the bankai is that it had to be something that would be a serious threat to the overpowered nature of the soul-king-empowered almighty: the ability to alter the present by changing the future. It has to either: 1. suspend/stagnate the world around Ichigo, 2. nullify the abilities of others on contact, 3. affect all possible futures, i.e. its strikes occur across all possible alternate futures and dimensions (and thus Yhwach wouldn't be able to nullify its attack by manifesting a future in which he was never hit, necessitating the need for him to instantly break the blade before receiving his first strike), or 4. another possible option. With all that in mind, what is Ichigo's true self? What motivates him in every battle he's ever been in? The answer: it is the desire to protect others, to such a massive extent that it even includes his enemies. Ichigo doesn't desire battle or destructive power, he desires the ability to protect the people around him. All throughout the series, we see time and time again Ichigo has the chance to defeat opponents in an instant, but he almost always hesitates at the moment of opportunity. He could've slain Byakuya in the soul society arc, Ichigo literally had his sword at Byakuya's throat before the captain even realized what had happened. Ichigo didn't want Byakuya to die, he wanted Byakuya to see his point of view. And also time and time again, when Ichigo finally does defeat his opponent, the eventual outcome is almost always that his opponent either becomes Ichigo's friend/ally, or gains an understanding of Ichigo's point of view before dying. One thing I rarely see people catch on to is that this desire manifests itself as a subtle and unwritten power of his zanpakuto; his ability to understand the motivations and feelings of others during sword combat isn't some kind of 6th sense that is intrinsic to him, it is a power of his sword as a reflection of his true self. His zanpakuto has a lot of destructive potential due to Ichigo's own massive spiritual power, but its true ability is understanding others. And I would speculate that his sword also grants a subtle effect in reverse: through combat, his opponent is imprinted with a subtle understanding of Ichigo's emotions and desires, and this makes them more likely to find common cause with Ichigo. So with all that in mind, lets look at the options I mentioned above: #1 seems okay, but falls apart when you consider that if its power was area stagnation, it wouldn't have been broken by the almighty in the first place. #2 is possible, but it doesn't fit with Ichigo's true inner self. He was never about canceling the abilities of others, he was about protecting others. #3 seems like a really good counter to the power of the almighty, but it doesn't really fit Ichigo's personality and it is too direct of a counter to a specific ability. So that leaves option #4: I believe that Yhwach wasn't fearful of Ichigo's bankai because of its destructive power, but rather because Ichigo's bankai had the ability to make Ichigo and his opponent gain a true understanding of each other's feelings, motivations, and goals. If this is the case, Yhwach would have seen a future where, upon being struck by Ichigo's bankai, Yhwach was forced to regain an understanding of compassionate humanity and completely abandoned his crusade to remake the world that spanned over a thousand years of planning and struggle. There is no greater threat to Yhwach's goals than seeing the world from his opponent's perspective, and losing the motivation to continue his crusade. He can counter any attack that strikes him by using the almighty, but what happens when he no longer wishes to counter the attack after being affected by its influence? To someone like Yhwach, such an ability would indeed be fearsome and would have to be destroyed before it could influence him.

Ichigo's Bankai is his Hollow/Soul Reaper and Quincy powers in harmony. His sword reflects that by combining his two Zanpakuto into one. The "sheath" and chain are just as much a part of his blade as the underlying power. Moreover, by having him overlay like that it means that if the upper layer breaks he'll still have the underlayer to fall back on which works well symbolizing how he always gets back up no matter how hard he gets beaten down. So it actually embodies his growth and journey.

Imagine if Goku lost his Super Sayan transformation after Freeza died? Or If Sasuke lost his Rinnegan after the war arc? You don't elevate your main character to the god tier just to nerf him right after. The only message I see is "I will make my protagonist WEAKER, while also making the antagonist OMNIPOTENT, and them I will make the weaker guy kill the stronger guy just because I have to end this somehow". The final battle of Bleach is broken because of this single decision. Uryu's silver arrow is a "Deus Ex Machina" that was only necessary because Kubo nerfed Ichigo to the extreme. We could have had a final battle worthy of both Ichigo and Ywhach if that wasn't the case. KUBO FUCKED UP.

So many very good characters that just had off screens, one pagers, or nothing at all but had all these starts of a story that where never finished or at least mentioned or shown.

This is my theory 1) What we call "true Bankai" is not the ultimate bankai, Ichigo's bankai has always been a wearable Bankai who fixed his dress with his Riatsu 2) If only the sword changes it means that ichigo has not yet mastered his skills. (Ichigo himself confirms that he has no experience with his new powers, and he's discovering them while fighting against Ywach), so if this "True Bankai" was destroyed it could still be repaired or evolved. 2) When Ywach destroys Ichigo's "true bankai" for the first time, he also steals ichigo's Quincy / Hollow powers (vol.74 ch 680. pag.1-2-3) 3) Inoue and Tsukishima "fix the blade" (make sure it has NEVER been broken with their powers to change the past and deny events) 4) To form the "true Bankai" the powers of all 4 races are needed. Ichigo must fuse his swords and unite his powers. So if Ichigo no longer has all his powers, that sword is no longer his Bankai even if it has the shape of it. 5) The sword has become an empty shell containing a regressed version of the sword of ichigo, a shape that resembles ichigo's first shikai in appearance ( as seen in the vision of jugram which ywach interprets as a dream) 6) However that form is neither a bankai, nor a shikai nor an asauchi, it is a temporary form born from the change of state of ichigo's powers when the sword was in "true bankai" form 7) what is certain is that ichigo is now only a shinigami and in order to see the true shape of his sword, with only his shinigami powers, he would have to return to shikai (which has also changed) and then reactivate the bankai. 8) When Ywach destroys Ichigo's sword for the second time, he does not destroy the real blade but only its empty shell which contained the temporary and regressed version of the sword. 9) CFYOW vol.2 ch1. ichigo's hollow / quincy powers are back after Ywach's death, Urhara talks about it. Ichibe confirmed it that Ichigo has his powers back because he was a candidate for the Soul King. And you need to be a Hybrid to be even considered. So he has got back his either Hollow, Quincy or both powers back. 10) The adult version of ichigo therefore has all the powers of the 4 races, should have the shikai with the double sword and can combine them to form the "true Bankai" seen the first time. Also after 10 years I expect the dress to evolve too and the "true bankai" to reach its final shape with the dress that has ichigo with the bow in Brave souls. 11) The adult ichigo version released in the game ignores everything I've written so far ... Ichigo's dress is that of a common and generic shinigami, the sword has a shape that should no longer have, whether ichigo had regained the powers or not. 12) -Conclusion: Klab released this new ichigo without reasoning and without asking questions, creating a script hole -This could be a version of ichigo where they ignore the fact that his powers are back (but the sword shouldn't have that shape anyway) -or it could be a version of ichgio with a "strange" Asauchi like kenpachi, where ichigo like isshin can use the blue getsuda with the sealed sword, this version of ichigo would have all the powers but wouldn't be using them for now. -Another very valid theory is that that sword is his bankai when Ichigo only uses his shinihami powers. - When he first activated the bankai ichigo was in shikai but the longer sword was white (quincy powers) and ichigo was using hollowfication so the sword took the aspect we see for a moment against Ywach. -It is possible that in this adult form ichigo raised the double shikai sword and said Bankai without first using the hollow and quincy powers (so the long sword was still black) so the bankai with only his shinigami powers appears as in the image . -If this theory is correct it means that ichigo's new Bankai changes the shape of his sword and clothes depending on how many and which of his race powers he is using. 13) To conclude I would like to ask a question, we know that a bankai of a shigami cannot be repaired, but is ichigo a common shimigami with a common Bankai? Ichigo does not have an affiliation, it is a new chimeric race formed by the DNA of the 4 main races, in theory the Bankai of ichigo that creates by combining its powers is not a common shinigami bankai, we call it bankai but it could be a new type of weapon completely different that only Ichigo and Hikone (if he had a zampakuto) can use, a weapon that is not subject to the rules of the shinigami world, a weapon that is not a common bankai so it can be repaired even when it breaks, for example by using the quincy technique "sklaverei" The sure thing is that we have never seen ichigo's true bankai in action, we only know that it can do the same things as Hikone (CFYOW), merge getsuda with various Cero and Blut, merge reiatsu shinigami with Hierro and blut, merge all 4 speed techniques to use God speed etc.

my little Opinion on this I think Zangetsu during the soul society arc was not PURE, the closest to pure Shinagami we had seen up to this point but I think that the lack of bandages and less bold and precisely ground edge represents that NOW we have witnessed Ichigo at his purest Shinagami, and the casing shattering so easily is a representation of him discarding all those extra powers, understanding that trying to use all 3 of these opposing powers at once makes it entirely unstable. He went from using 3 Pillars of sand to using 1 pillar of stone. I would not be surprised if we see him using quincy and hollow powers again but only as backup boosters, not replying on them anymore.

Meaning Ichigo's true Bankai is him using all his powers at once in harmony. The case and chain being White and the inner blade is Old Man Zangetsu. Kubo actually put a lot of thought into it.
