As far as I understand it, though, special war powers are special individuals they want to get rid of. Maybe I misunderstand.

Like N-e-ls said, Yhwach has acknowledged Ichigo as a Special War Potential and he told Haschwalth he wanted to bring Ichigo to their base and try to recruit him.

My belief is that Yhwach calls them 'Potentials' because he thinks they can be of use to him in some way.
