While I don't doubt Kubo's ability to come up with some excuse to bring the war back to Karakura Town (under such a hypothetical scenario), I'm willing to think outside the box a little bit by assuming he wouldn't for a change. |

Though changing the battlefield to the real world doesn't really solve the big problem. Regardless of whether they're in SS or the living world, shinigami are made up of reiatsu, so Quincy can still absorb their power. They won't be able to absorb power from the surrounding environment, but they'll still have a huge advantage. The shinigami really need a way to deal with the Quincy's power-cancelling ability to fight against them.

You're right. Without a method to level the playing field, the shinigami probably won't win. And since they really didn't have any time to properly prepare for this war, coming up with a method on the spot to counter the Quincy's abilities seems unlikely. Kubo effectively created a scenario where we can plausibly believe the shingami have a solid chance of losing for a change. So I could see the shinigami being forced into a hasty retreat for the time being. And honestly, I wouldn't mind such a turn of events for a change of pace. Lets leave it up to Urahara, Maiyuri, or (even better) Aizen to come up with a plan B during the aftermath.
And since I brought it up, I do wonder who's ultimately going to be responsible for Aizen's inevitable parole. Might the Quincy's have a reason to break him out? Might the shinigami be desperate enough to seek his aid? Or might all the destruction done to the Seireitei end up accidentally freeing him instead? |

And Aizen is out of the picture already...don't think Kubo is going to waste time with Aizen anymore...

really? i think it's a given that he's coming back. having a main villain be imprisoned and not killed is pretty much saying that he will be back. and yes i know he cant be killed because of his 'immortality' but thats only because kubo hasnt introduced some makeshift way for him to be killed yet. i'm also sure that that will happen once he is liberated. something like the soul king being able to reverse or destroy the hyogoku's powers most likely |
