Wait... big, dark beard? Huge body? Power over darkness? I knew it: Ichibei is actually Blackbeard from One Piece!

Jokes aside, Ichibei just reached a new level of beast: removing Yhwach's powers completely with ink and one swing is too op. But things got very confusing, very quickly! How does severing names and calling upon their power with a sealed sword (or brush) translates to controling all darkness with a shikai? Kinda unrelated, don't you think? And Yhwach can just steal anyone's power just like that (even though it failed with Ichibei)? Then what was the point of the bankai medallion? Both these fellas are seriously broken. Even Aizen seems more balanced now (relatively)!
