It's a super good theory. But my question is which enemy? It is likely only the Sternritters that will fight this last part of the manga. So what I'm saying is it would have had to be one of the Sternritters whose attack he had "held" on to and I don't think that is possible. Idk, didn't the quencies leave before he Ukitake became a captain(or at least strong enough to awaken his bankai)? Had we not known this would be the end I definitely could see this happening!
