1) What happened to the SK's legs and remaining organs.

2) Why Senjumaru was promoted and what her history with Mayuri is.

3) How Mayuri got into the Maggot's Nest in the first place (possibly related to the previous one)

4) Why Ulquiorra was the only Arrancar with a second release.

5) How Gremmy not only got his powers (as a brain he couldn't have consumed Yhwach's blood) but also became the strongest of all Sternritter.

6) Why Uryu, of all people, was such a threat to Yhwach.

7) How Aizen got to see the SK and how it made him the person he is today.

All these questions have been answered actually.

1) They were dispersed into all directions. The noble families had collected of his body parts for power, eugenetic breeding and reasons we don't know yet. Some of them might also have bonded with other souls, like Rangiku and the Soul King's nail.

2) She was promoted for inventing the Shinigami uniform. It's implied that Mayuri was under her 1000 years ago.

3) He was his usual self but probably couldn't justify being useful enough. He did a messed up experiment that got him incarcerated.

4) Ulquiorra was part of naturally a occuring species of winged Vasto Lorde. Segunda Etapa is the orignal form of his species and thus can only be attained by them. It's implied that Ulquiorra was so special because he was born during proto Soul Society when the Soul King was around. Hollows spawning naturally was a normal thing there.

5) He is another part of the Soul King.

6) The Antithesis allows him to counter the Almighty, which is how he had survived the Auswahlen.

7) He never did. When the ancestors of the noble families rewrote history they weren't thorough enough. Aizen found these traces and investigated from there until he learned the truth.

Uhm, none of those were actually answers.

1) Still doesn't explain where they are and what happened to them. You'd think that if the arms and heart took interest in the war the rest would too.

2) That was never actually stated afaik. And I'm pretty sure Senjumaru was promoted faaaaaar earlier than when Mayuri got into the Gotei 13 thanks to Urahara, especially if she invented the uniforms.

3) Care to list a source for that?

4) Speculation, nothing actually confirmed.

5) No, he isn't. Nowhere is it confirmed that Gremmy is a SK part, not even in CFYOW.

6) For the love of... My question is WHY Uryu was so special he got such an OP power as the Antithesis and be the ONLY Quincy immune to the Auswahlen.

7) He did. Urahara and Aizens conversation confirmed that AIzen did get to see the SK at some point.

1) How doesn't it explain it? If the noble families collected them, then they were hidden in their bunkers.

2) It was stated in the novels that Shuutara had created the Shinigami uniform. She also knew Yhwach personally, which means she was there 1000 years ago. We also don't know how long Mayuri has been incarcerated. But he is one of the few Shinigami who knew that Yamamoto had failed to kill Yhwach and he knew about Unohana's true identity. It is quite possible that he was in Squad 12 1000 years ago, got imprisoned and then released by Urahara a few centuries later.

3) Bleach Jet. A reader had asked Kubo this question.

4) It was confirmed in the Unmasked data book. That is not speculation. It was directly explained what Segunda Etapa is.

5) It is stated that a body part of the Soul King was used as their core to keep Hikone stable. And it was stated that Hikone was only stable because of Gremmy.

6) Why not? Just like the Royd twins, he just happened to be born with a dormant Schrift power. Yhwach merely awakened the power to its full potential. Haschwalth stated that the Anti-thesis was the reason Yhwach had been interested in Uryuu. And Yhwach was interested in Uryuu because he had a power that let him survive the Auswahlen. Some Sternritter are born with their Schrift active to a lesser degree. We saw that with the twins and Askin as well.

7) Aizen said that Ichigo was able to set foot into the Royal Realm before he could. He stated it again in the novels and Tokinada confirmed that Aizen learned the truth through detective work.
