I just looked at it again. When Hascwalth said Yhwach scattered pieces of his soul throughout the Seireitei during the previous battle, it shows an image of the Seireitei. I admit I got my terms mixed up and should have said Reiatsu, but that does not matter because I did not say he turned his soul into Reiatsu or Reiryoku (spirit energy). I was just using it as a comparison. Yhwach left pieces of his soul in the environment just like there were remnants of Quincy reiatsu left over in the environment from the first battle. None of what I've said is speculation. On the contrary, everything you've said is speculation. It was established from early on in the series that Quincies completely extinguish hollows. It's canon. It's fact. This is reconfirmed in the final arc, and nowhere in the final arc is it shown or stated that all enemies quincies contact and/or defeat are absorbed by Yhwach. The only exception to this is the second battle with the Vandereich, and that was because Yhwach scattered his soul throughout the Seireitei as Haschwalth stated.
