I liked the chapter and liked the attempt at solving the bankai theft, but I have some real reservations about this. Kisuke and Mayuri talk like hollows are really poisonous to quincies to the point where small part of their power can rot their souls and power. That's a bit much without establishing it much earlier in the series.

Hunting captain absorbed hollow reishi with no ill effects.

Uryu has been wounded by Arrancars and Fullbringers, both have hollow reiatsu that infected his wounds. Uryu has never reacted as badly as Mayuri and Kisuke suggested.

Old man Zangetsu and True Zangetsu can even fuse together makes me question how that's possible at all with this revelation.

Nice attempt, but I feel like it has problems with it.
