Just re-reading some of this quincy war stuff and I dunno how I missed it before, but it seems that anyone can use the quincy medallions to steal bankais. Ivan (arrancar) tried and failed at the beginning.

Ichigo's fullbring looks like a quincy medallion...

Ivan did have to use an incantation though, which means it is likely some kind of kidou spell being used with the medallions being used as a seal. The solution to getting the bankais back will probably be a reverse incantation of some kind, devised but Urahara.

We haven't actually seen him, but it's pretty strongly implied that he's hanging out with Urahara, Orihime, and Chad in Hueco Mundo.

You ever do the chicken dance at a wake? That really bothers people.
Yeah, someone stuck his sword in Urahara's face while he was taking care of business in HM. Later, when Urahara contacted Ichigo and co in Soul Society, we saw a hint of who it was, but no face. The outfit pretty much gave it away, though. So Grimmjow is back and is now comic relief.

Kubo does flashbacks extremely well, but it doesn't hurt that the cast around them are so much more interesting than the cast we've had for the last decade.

So I guess Ishida is going to use his powers via Urahara to fix Masaki, sealing both their powers. Which causes grandma Ishida to exile Masaki, which completely embitters Ryuuken toward the Quency and leads to the current situation.

Looks like just a typical Hollow wound that people get when they're touched by a Hollow.

I think it's going to be Isshin that does the healing and sealing, which would explain why he lost them in the first place. It would also explain how he decided to stay in the human world, possibly leading to Yamamoto and the Shiba house to "forget" about Isshin himself.

Then maybe that means she's 'unpure' and that's why they're so worried about Masaki being attacked by a hollow. It'd also explain why she only has a single kid because she got attacked by a hollow after Ryuken's birth.

He lied about his report, he's helping quincy, he left again without orders and he's probably going to give up his powers to Masaki somehow.

So, a normal ghost has a broken chain after they die. If the chain is destroyed, they become a hollow. If they are instead sent to the infinite slum town afterlife, the chain goes away and they live on for another few centuries in abject poverty. The slum town ghosts are basically human in every way, only made of spiritrons. When Chad, Orihime and Ishida went to SS, they were converted into spiritrons by Urahara's device.

What I'm wondering is, what on earth would have happened if one of those three had died while made of spiritrons? Would their chain ghosts immediately jump out? Would they count as a slum ghost and simply die? If it is the latter, wouldn't that mean that a slum ghost who went through Urahara's device would become human again?

Nah, shinigami don't have ghosts.

Also, breaking the chain doesn't necessarily mean you become a hollow. It just means you're dead and can no longer be revived. Becoming a hollow is a long process.

If Isshin loses his powers because of Masaki's injury, that would be a total cop out. It's has been pretty clear that he used Final Getsuga.

Do we know if Isshin ever saw Ichigo or Rukia or any spirits early on in the series? It's unclear how/when he regained his powers. Maybe that's an important plot point to be revealed?

Maybe he Final Getsuga's Masaki's hollow into remission, robbing both of them of their powers.

We know that Masaki doesn't die until Ichigo is a little boy and his sisters are already born. Kain and Yuzu are the result of boring old non-spirit procreation. Though I guess it is still Isshin going Ghost with the roll of Whoopie Goldberg being played by technologically advanced spirit real doll.

Probably the maid, which is part of why Uryu isn't as good as his dad. The only other choice seems to be Uryu's grandma and I don't think this is that type of manga.

Barrigan was the best character and had the best fight, but I still don't get how Aizen could have possibly beaten him. Aizen may have killed his servants and whatever, but I doubt Aizen could get in and out of killing distance before Barry let out a death fart.

Also the second best fight was Dordonni vs Ichigo and Nel.
