Just been re-reading from the start of The Thousand Year Blood War arc, and there's one image that's left me curious.

Chapter 534, page 11 (just as Ryuken runs out of the house with Masaki); his mother tries to call him back, saying "If you stay with that thing you could be in danger too!" As she's saying this, our focus is drawn to a massive scar on her left calf.

I was thinking that this scar might be the reason why Uryu managed to survive Yhwach's Auswahlen. Here's why;

1. Ryuken Ishida is a pureblood Quincy. Kanae Katagiri was a mixed-blood Quincy who did not survive the Auswahlen. Whatever kept Uryu alive may have been inherited from his father; otherwise Kanae would have survived the Auswahlen too.

2. Quincies have no antibodies to Hollows. If a Hollow had caused that scar, Ryuken's mother would have been slowly killed by it (as Masaki would have been if Urahara hadn't 'saved' her).

Any thoughts?
