1. I quote from your very own blog: "The new arc will take place in an Ice palace beneath somewhere." If the translation is wrong that's on you; don't accuse me of not doing my reading. Link: http://bleach.wikia.com/wiki/User_blog:Godisme/The_Gotei_13_repeat_and_reboot_wrap_up

2. I'm not sure why you think I missed that. I fully understand that it's bad news. That's kind of the whole point. As for the Spirit King being useless, how about we wait to see who or what it actually is/does before drawing conclusions about it, hmm? Urahara has said that it is the "lynchpin." We don't know exactly what he meant by that.

3. I don't have anything in particular to add to this.

4. Actually, Yamamoto was never said to be the strongest character in the series—at least not in what I've read, or in what you've cited. Again, I will use your own words:

"It was said no Shinigami stronger than him had been born in over 1000 years"

True. This means that exactly what it says: no one stronger than him has been born in over 1000 years. (Could someone stronger have been born before that time? This quote leaves the possibility open, but I don't think there's any reason to say so at this point. Perhaps in the future.)

"It was said that he had the strongest Zanpakuto in existence, one whose shikai was as strong as some Bankais."

Again, true. I don't remember reading the shikai–bankai comparison, but from what we've seen it certainly seems true.

"It was said the only reason he was not in the royal guard was because there was no one who could replace him."

True again, though what Ukitake actually said was that no one in the Gotei 13 could replace him. That may or may not be significant. Either way, what all of your evidence points to is that Yamamoto is the strongest Shinigami in the Gotei 13—not necessarily the strongest character in the series. On top of that, we should remember that when he was killed he was nowhere near his full strength.

As for Juhabach now being the most powerful character in the series, what of it? It may or may not be true, but there are any number of logical, intelligent ways that "our heroes" could overcome a superior opponent, even without resorting to plotkai or "the powerful of friendship," although knowing Kubo that's probably what it will be.

Well? Have I "missed" any other facts?
