"...If fate is a millstone, then we are the grist. There is nothing we can do. So I wish for strength. If I cannot protect them from the wheel, then give me a strong blade, and enough strength... to shatter fate."

The above quote is by Ichigo Kurosaki. And I think that it defines his character wholly. Let's talk about the current arc. Yhwach is the all powerful, all seeing God-Quincy who has been controlling Ichigo's fate for the entire series. Yhwach can literally see all futures and manipulate them as he sees fit. He can control fate, plain and simple. A lot people are complaining about how powerful Yhwach is. But don't you think that's Kubo's point? He's making Yhwach this powerful because he is giving Ichigo his chance to "shatter fate" - which is Yhwach. Breaking fate and making your own, and possibly allowing others to do so too is no easy task. Thus Yhwach must be as powerful as he is in order to be that insurmountable wall, that inescapable fate, that Ichigo will eventually beat.

The how is still on the table. But I think this will tie into it a lot~
