If his ability really was "The Necromancy" or whatever, then why was he freaking out about being a sacrifice for Auswählen? Even if it were his ability, he's lost his power, and lost his Vollständig; in which, he still got owned by Byakuya.

He's had a good crack of the whip, so he really no longer serves any purpose to the plot at all. Maybe we'll see him in another flashback, maybe we won't. There are plenty of ways for him to come back, like maybe he's 'The Numerous' and that was a clone of some kind, or he's 'The Neverending' and he comes back to life after he dies. Who knows, what with the N not being revealed. As to what purpose he could serve to the plot, just use your imagination, Maybe he's faked his death to try and assassinate Yhwach, for example. Kubo can throw curveballs when he wants to. This isn't really the place to get into an in-depth argument about it though. I think he'll show up again, you think he won't. Thats fine.
