User blog comment:Xilinoc/Ch. 614 - KILL THE KING/@comment-24153155-20150205235859

A bit tricky to think whatever since the translations seem to deviate heaps. I mean, there is a big difference in that "if it's you, you can do it" or "that's the only thing you can do now", as they implicate different scenarios.

Interesting here is that the heart-stabbing part seemed to have returned, however it is now done with Yhwach's Quincy Sword by Ichigo, thereby "activating" his Quincy blood vein. Perhaps Soul Society would not have started crumbling if, say, Ganju would have taken the blade, as he is a pure soul (right?!). If a rather "simple stab" could crumble/delete an entire dimension, what would happen to the Wandenreich (which already destroyed the Seireitei)? Unless you've got an ulterior motive than to get rid of souls, it would be rather unintelligent to do so.

Other than that; I know we've had this discussion multiple times, but if anyone can just be zombified/revived/have super-surgery/etc. it would be kinda anticlimactic if the Soul King can be killed just like that...
