I guess Uryū really does have some unique ability, or perhaps Yhwach let Uryū keep his powers, during the Auswählen, because he thought he could prove useful in the future?

Anyway, I'm looking forward to seeing Uryū demonstrate his newfound powers; which he gained through that ceremony with Yhwach. After all, Uryū has to convince the Sternritters that he's a capable successor of Yhwach. I wonder who Kubo has in mind as Uryū's opponent? :)

I'm glad Uryuu is getting the spotlight. He's a good character and he deserves it.

I'm assuming it'll be either Mayuri or Ukitake that Uryuu fights and defeats. It has to be someone very powerful that the regular Stern Ritters can't beat, so the likes of Sui Feng, Toshiro, Komamura, Rose, Kensei and so on are ruled out.

Ukitake is implied to have great strength so I could see him cut down a Stern Ritter or two before meeting Uryuu who bests him. Same with Mayuri.
