I agree, when Ichigo finds out about this he'll immediately be put between a rock and a hard place. Can he really kill Yhwach with the knowledge that he'll be dooming his friend as a result? I have to wonder if this might be the "Special Plan" he alluded to earlier in the arc when it was discovered that Ichigo's bankai couldn't be stolen. Quite devious, if you ask me.
