User blog comment:Xilinoc/Ch. 614 - KILL THE KING/@comment-24531362-20150205135957

I have a proposal re Ichigo going all deicidal here. Maybe, since a) Yhwach's 'blood' (interpreted here to mean a facet of his spiritual existence) exists within all Quincy, and has been shown to manifest as a Yhwach-esque being in Ichigo at least; b)Yhwach has shown complete domination over said Quincy and their powers via Auswahlen;c) Yhwach's raison d'etre thus far has been to kill the Soul King; and d) a being's purpose has been shown to affect the expression of their spiritual power (i.e Hollow Ichigo/Zangetsu reawakening and resuming dominance as a result of his almost-psychotic drive to rescue Orihime during his clash with Ulquiorra); it may be theorised that the bit of Yhwach within Ichigo pushed him to obey the will of the Quincy Emperor, without any conscious effort on the part of either Ichigo OR Yhwach (so no 'Blutbending').

Sorry for no Eminem references today, I have to go do push-ups till I collapse.
