That makes sense, Sternritter M. I wasn't sure if it was obviously a flashback because of something I missed, or if you were just stupid. It's good to know it was just a misunderstanding.

That would be pretty sick if Ryuken were to train Ichigo on how to use his Quincy powers, but I don't think he needs it. Now that the manifestation of his Quincy powers (what I'll call Quincy Zangetsu) has admitted to what he really is (and considering how he no longer wants to kill Ichigo), I think he can do it himself. He always got Hollow Zangetsu to train Ichigo on how to use his Zanpakuto properly, so it would be pretty awesome to finally see Quincy Zangetsu train Ichigo himself. What I want to see is Ichigo incorporating Reishi absorption into his fighting style. If Shinigami fight with the power from within, and Quincies fight with the power from outside, Ichigo should fight with both. I think that's what's going to make him strong enough to defeat Juhabach. It might also be what allows him to remain in the Human World. If he just gets a huge power up, he'll be too strong to stay in the Human World, but if he gets stronger by incorporating the outside power with his inside power, he could return. And if you consider the fact that Ichigo is strong enough to defeat Sternritter level Quincies with only his power within, then how powerful will he get when he uses both powers? I bet he'll defeat Juhabach, then have his final fight against Uryu. I want Ryuken to train Karin and Yuzu to become Quincies. They wouldn't get strong enough to fight in the upcoming battles (I wouldn't imagine), but it would be awesome for them to get useful. Then they could protect Karakura Town.
