On a not completely insane note, I think it's interesting how the Quincies can manipulate shadows, and Ichibei can manipulate darkness which is one step above shadows. Also, if shadows are technically darkness, I'm not sure if it's a coincidence that Ywach was stopped by shadows when he was about to kill Ichigo in the first invasion
