Why did Yhwach not preserve his medallion to actually steal Ichibē's Bankai (when he uses it and if he uses it) instead? Was Yamamoto in Bankai just too powerful for Yhwach? Unlikely as he dismissed Yamamoto being a real threat. Can Yhwach actually NOT withstand taking and using Ichibē's Bankai like he said the other Quincies would if they tried to steal Zanka no Tachi? Is he actually aware of Ichibē's powers? (Doesn't seem to be). So maybe Ichibē IS more powerful in that way? Excluding the possibility that Ichibē's Bankai is not that destructive in terms of range, and Yhwach might want to severely damage Soul Society. Also... What did Ichibē do/use before Nimaiya came and invented the zanpakutō? Was he just that powerful?
