Finally, Ichigo and Yhwach came face to face and it will be interesting to see if the former will be able to land a hit on the latter. Meanwhile, it seems like Uryuu Ishida has met his end in the hands of Jugram Haschwalth.
Last chapter, Toshiro and Byakuya successfully landed their combo attack against Gerard Valkyrie. Just when they thought they were able to finish off the gigantic villain, he slowly began to regenerate again with the captains completely out of options.
Scene shifts to Ichigo inside Yhwach's throne room. As he tries to attack, it turns out to only be a part of Yhwach's dream. As the almighty king awakens, Ichigo and Inoue set-up a plan once they encounter him. Uryuu and Haschwalth's battle continues as the former is all bloodied up while the latter remained unscathed. With Ishida's back on the wall, Yhwach's right hand man unleashed a powerful attack that may have finished off Ichigo's comrade for good.
As Ichigo entered the throne room, he was welcomed by Yhwach and referred to him as his child of darkness. In the next chapter, it would be interesting to see Yhwach expound on why he called the protagonist such title.
Now, fans over at Manga Royal think that it will finally be Aizen Sozuke's time to shine after being restricted to a chair for the longest time. He would either come to the aid of Ishida, or assist Ichigo in the battle against Yhwach. With how author Tite Kubo projected the Quincy King's strength, it would take more than Ichigo to defeat the all-powerful entity.
Aizen, despite being a villain, will likely assist as there will be no tomorrow if he will not join the battle. It was noted that Yhwach's goal is to get rid of all the Shinigamis and he will create a new and better world for the Quincys instead.
Meanwhile, a fan theory over at Bleach Realms states that Ichigo is indeed Yhwach's son, thus calling him child of darkness. Despite Ichigo's parents being introduced early in the series, it can be assumed that he was raised to avoid his fate of being Yhwach's son and instead, live a normal life.
