​@@0eyes ​I hope they show the Soul King just demolishing the strongest hollows of the time. I'm glad Kubo gets to add everything he wanted but didn't have enough time and poor health with the manga. Thankfully, Kubo controls the anime, and everything added or removed needs his permission. I wonder if we will get more Hell Arc after Kubo is finished working on the TYBW anime. And Kubo even drew a new fight for the anime team for part 2. "It was the anime production team that requested Kubo to include a fight scene in the upcoming TYBW Part 2, and Kubo rose to the challenge by providing five or six pages of intricate illustrations that show how the two characters would move, transition and fight."

Cour 1’s anime-only adjustments did a wonderful job shedding more insight on characters that never got too much or enough spotlight during their manga run like Ichigo vs Yhwach round 1, Yamamoto vs Yhwach (rematch), 1st Kenpachi (Unohana) vs 11th Kenpachi (Zaraki), even Isshin vs White Cour 2’s anime-only adjustments did phenomenal fleshing out more of the Sternritters personality as well as their individual dynamics with one another, I especially liked that we got a post episode(s) glimpse at Ichigo’s Irazusando Realm training so that he could surpass a normal shinigami. Some heavy hitting fights got extended too Sajin’s, Renji’s, Ikkaku/Shuhei/ & Yumichika vs Mask, can’t forget Ichigo vs the Bambis, & lastly the infamous Squad 0 vs Royal Guards match all across the board. I was very pleased with the direction Kubo went with handling each episode. A lot of people don’t talk about how TYBW lowkey feels like an overload of new fresh information that seamlessly ties everything we’ve experienced all together. Yet the anime is doing the perfect job transitioning the information so it’s relatively pleasuring for both long-time & newcomer fans

so, in theory, since ichibe wanted ichigo to replace the soul king, could that potentially mean that ichigo himself or maybe his son could possibly one day become even stronger than the soul king? you know, since ichigo is human, hollow, quincy, soul reaper, fullbringer, etc???

[@sws212]

Soul King is basically God.. Yhwach is his son, for one. He might've also created the hollow given he created Hueco and Fullbringers are just spiritually aware humans, they're not much different than Quincies who got their spirit powers from Yhwach specificially.

[@kakashihatake1029]

Idts. Unless Ichigo attains the almighty which he might tbf, he will never reach the original soul ki gs power. Ichigo himself derives power from Yhwach and thus indirectly, the soul king himself.

[@BotGoogle-l7d]

because reio is a quincy, the proof is that he cannot purify hollows. because he cannot purify hollows, the world becomes unbalanced, this causes the world to almost collapse. after that, the 5 great nobles negotiated with reio so that reio would sacrifice himself to build 3 worlds so that the world would be balanced again. but this negotiation was rejected by the shiba clan. this is the reason why the shiba clan is no longer included in the great nobles. reio agreed to this plan and was willing to be sealed. but because he did it without resistance and objection, the tsunayashiro clan became suspicious and afraid that one day reio would rebel so they mutilated reio when reio was sealed. you could say that reio is now dying. source novel cfyow.
