Question: Does Ichibei have the Shinigami Eyes from Death Note, allowing him to see everybody's (and everything's) true name? Or does he just know the true names of things because he granted them?

If the latter, is it possible that he's really fighting one of the Sternlichters with The Yourself? That's assuming that the Schrift of dead Sternritter go back to Yhwach for redistribution, naturally. It could be a cop-out of sorts, but at the same time, what's the point of showing the Sternlichter if Yhwach's powers are so much more interesting than theirs? Lille might have added Explode to his X-Axis (imagine that for a moment...), or whatsisname got Power on top of Miracle, but they're not going to be quite as showy or over-the-top as what we're seeing right now.

But if these are techniques that any Quincy could theoretically learn, we're in for some epic fights ahead.
