I don't know. Frankly, with as little as we know about the Soul King, I still think this feels like more like a beginning than an ending. I'd have expected to get an announcement that the series is ending this year, like we did for Naruto, especially given how long its run has been. Heck, Deicide took almost half a year, and that was focused entirely on Aizen and Gin.
