yea we dont take kindly to logic round these parts. clearly ichigo's dagger is more powerful than his sword. everyone knows that the smaller the knife, the more powerful it is
So if someone whips out a pocket knife, that's like game over?

So people understand that I do not take these discussions seriously, its all good fun.
pretty sure kubo would have juha bach will pull the illusion card and fool each of them into fighting a pointless fight and wam bam raging fans.
the worst possible scenario (which unfortunately happens quite a bit in these types of mangas...) would be for bach to create doubles of the zero squad and have them fight themselves. that would probably cause the biggest fan uproar of disgust

No, the worst thing would be leaving the fights offscreen such as when all people were surprised with Yammy being the Espada Cero.

Sub title: Due to destructions of hollows, depicts a tragic history
- Quincies possessed a high spiritual pressure and the ability to supress hollows. But they completely destroyed the hollows in the real world. Shinigami maintains the balance of souls between the real world and Soul Society, a companion who has the same goal,that is to “defeat hollows”, but their existence is unpleasant. Therefore, approximately 200 years ago, Shinigami decided to conduct a war to exterminate Quincies.
Sub-sub title: In the past, the exorcism group who specialised in suppressing hollows has spread throughout the world…

- Star Emblemize (Medalize): Using a circular metal like that has a Quincy cross imprint on it, the Medalize , steals the bankai power of Shinigami.
- Blood cloth (Blut): A technique that inserts the spiritual particles into the blood vessels, and increases the attack or defence drastically. However, both the attack and defence cannot be increase at the same time.
- Blood vein(blut vein): can even block the blade. When it unleashes, a pattern that looks like an electronic circuit lines appear on the skin.
- Holy Slave(Sklaverei): Increases the gathering force of spiritual particles to the limit, by enslaving it. Whether it was based objects or humans, the disc on top of the head can literally absorbs all the spirit particles.

Text below Bambi babies: Even though that the known Stern Ritters has been introduced, their complete view, their ability, and their sequence order is still a mystery. When these information has been revealed, Soul Society will once again shrouded by fear.
Ad:
“uncover all the mysterious of the [Thousand years bloody war arc farewell/separation story] will be serialised in WJ 41 again!”
"Next week will be featured/a collection (of) on Gotei 13 and the royal guards"
With as confusing and convoluted as certain aspects of this plot have become to some people, I suppose a little recap & confirmation on things couldn't hurt.
Orihime is more than capable of killing your run of the mill factory hollow She couldn't have been as cold blooded as Masaki was right before taking out White
and the only one who can save ichigo is Zaraki Kenpachi
REMEMBER???
Ichigo has been saved some times actually. Also, Inoue defeated a Hollow when she obtained her powers. That was back in the time when Ichigo's friends weren't useless.
The 4th part to the Dagger contained a few tidbits of info that could prove interesting to some to speculate on. Credit goes to czeliate once again for providing translations.

This week's dagger is "The Mystery and the Truth 1" , title : The Dagger #4 : クロイツフィア
As we expected, no Kubo interviews , but couple of interesting stuffs though... hmm
First of all, the Spirit King (Rei-oh). Basically the only method to return back to the soul king palace is through Kukkaku's bazooka missiles, is this part of her huge responsibility? Also, it seems to imply that Kukkaku's lost right arm has a connection with the king's key. I don't know, here's in Japanese:
空鶴の右腕が無いのは 、王鍵が関係している?
The next page is Unohana and Kenpachi's battle. Basically is what we already know.. and of course, no mention of Unohana's status XD
In the 3rd page, there's 3 keywords.
The First keyword is the special war potential. It says something like "other than Ichigo, Kenpachi, and Aizen, who else is included? "
The second keyword is the distortion("hizumi" in japanese) space , here it mentions about the distortion space that Hiyori saw. On the side note , it says "A distortion space also happening above the sky (as seen in chapter 545)
Spoiler:
After that , Kyoraku appears infront of Tatsuki and co., and report about Ichigo's situation in the future. The connection of the appearance of shinigami is..? "
The final keyword is "Genryuusai"
Here the dagger mentions that Yhwach often calls Yamajii as "Yamamoto Shigekuni", however, the only time he did not call him Shigekuni is when he has successfully stole Yamajii's bankai and ask if he should use it, at that time he calls him "Genryuusai" instead
So, question...is there any meaning behind on that particular call (that Yamamoto "Genryuusai")?
next issue uncovers the truth of impact/attacks and the mystery of Ichigo's birth
that's it.
Most interesting bits I took from this:
-Kukkaku's missing arm having a connection to the kings key (didn't see that coming)
-confirmation of Aizen being a potential (which some fans seemed to have misinterpreted and argued against for awhile now) so this issue can finally be put to rest.
