That's possible, it does seem likely that Yhwach can give people these powers with the same Quincy letter, like he did with the Lloyd brothers and their "Yourself" powers and with himself and Uryu. However, as was the case of the Lloyd brothers, there seems to be subtle differences in the cases of twin powers, or that's what I'm assuming, which makes me think that the powers can be similar, but not the exact same.

It's a good theory, but I think it's the real Shunsui in the end. Seemed awfully knowledgeable about Ichigo and the changes he's going through in the Royal Palace, and I doubt a Quincy has ever made it that far to find out that kind of information.

Of course, Yhwach did just merge the Vandenreich snow palace with the Seireitei, so anything is possible. It's worth thinking about, as I do believe Ichigo's human friends will have a role to play, no matter how small, so having them as hostages might happen.

THat said, since the Seireitei is gone, I'm thinking the Human gang use those tickets and end up in the Vandenreich's new Seireitei-Snow Palace, since it is still the Soul Society, meaning they wouldn't need to be tricked at all.
