Wow. Just as Masaki and Isshin's past is revealed, some crazy theories about Isshin not being Ichigo's biological father surfaced. So Masaki, who was meant to wed with Ryuken, married Isshin then had time to fool around then bam! Ichigo appeared then some years later she just died protecting Ichi-ni.

About the "my son, born in darkness"... so Yhwach is Ichi's pops? Maybe we need to stop taking things literally like the meaning of that statement was "Ichigo, you were born a Quincy and you knew nothing of it" (Hence the "darkness" part)

--"Yes Ichigo, I'm your father, the leader of Vandenreich and being the overly manly father of yours, I stabbed you in the neck so you can see that you can use Blut. I embedded a medallion in your soul that's why you stole Isshin's bankai and able to perform Getsuga Tensho. The only thing left for me to do is to teach you how to use Sprenger. Don't worry about Zangetsu, I have 5 Seeleschneiders especially made for you." Now this is what I want to see in the next chapter.
