I got the impression that Ryuken's father, Soken, was able to cure wounds inflicted by Hollows, if treated quickly, but he was away and couldn't be contacted at the time. I believe the scar that Ryuken's mother had, was the result of a Hollow attack, and if she was attacked prior to Ryuken's birth, he could possibly have a Fullbring. If that's the case, than Uryu would be a "second generation" Fullbring, and that might explain why Yhwach was unable to retrieve his soul fragment from Uryu, because it's tainted by Hollow powers.

Why did Yhwach perform that ritual with Uryu, when Uryu drank his blood, if Uryu already had one of Yhwach's soul fragments, since he's part Quincy? Maybe he did so just to strengthen the bond, by giving Uryu a letter designation, but why did the Auswählen fail in the first place? I hope this will be explained later in the Arc, because there's too much we don't know about the Ishida family.
