Interesting theory but I really don't think that he's Souken Ishida as he was pretty much confirmed dead when Mayuri said that he'd experimented on his dead body but he definitely resembles the typical male Ishida. We'll just have to wait and see.

Aren't all of these stern ritter "dead" they are in soul society which only 3 humans before have done(that I recall, Orihime, Chad and Uryu. Ichigo was in shinigami form.) Plus Bach referred to Uryu as the last living which also gave me the impression the Stern Ritter army were spirit forms of their original bodies(when their body dies instead of going to SS they went to Bach and he reorganized them into a fighting force, just a theory)

I'm not gonna say it ABSOLUTELY is based on appearance but it wouldn't surprise me if he was. After all Souken was the head of the Quincy on Earth for awhile so he would be strong, and if this guy ends up being SR C like others suggest that would only solidify the thought with me.(making an Ishida replacement A and another one in the 3rd seat)

I like your theory but I've got another question for ya; why would Soken appear shocked if his Grandson had just been appointed as Bach's predecessor?

Good question and I actually have a thought on that(granted you just made me think of it) He would be shocked because when they were living he tried to instill upon Uryu the idea of forgiving the soul reapers and to not start a grudge against them. It may have shocked him to see Uryu now a teenager disreagard his living wishes and join a militant Quincy group bent on the destruction of Soul Reapers.

That answered I open a new question I'm trying to rationalize, "Why, if Soken wanted Uryu to forgive Shinigami, is he in this group now" and the only thing I can come up with is that Bach has some kind of Lore or Sway over all Quincy, maybe even possessing an inherent trait where they must obey him once in spirit form. He is supposed to be Quincy King(or whatever title he has, Top Quincy, maybe he is supposed to be the Seal King from that song they mentioned this chapter since he's attacking soul society which will more than likely destroy the world if it goes) His blood flows through every Quincy maybe by this he is able to force them to do what he wants them to do, I am not sure.

I like it, you've come up with some excellent arguments. You clearly know your stuff, you may be right we just have to wait and see who this Stern Ritter really is.

We still haven't seen anything from this Sternritter as of yet. Why is Kubo saving this Sternritter? I honestly think that he is Sternritter C and there is something that Kubo is hiding about this one.

A lot of talk has been going round and speculation that he's a Kurosaki. If Kubo has been saving him all this time, there's definitely going to be a big boom with this character.

C

I'd love it if Colonel Sanders was Ishdia's grandfather, would put a whole new twist on things.

I disagree with this. I think that Sternritter C should be Pepe.
Colonel Sanders didn't do much impressive against Kyoraku, he was damaged. And by hyping it seems that first four letters are most important and that they goes by power level (A - strongest). Sternritter need more top tier fighters (that will make more interesting story, otherwise, we will see Aizen alone vs Gotei version2) and i think that Askin and Pepe are perfect chances to do so.
Colonel Sanders in my opinion should stand for W.

He have some speed feats and it in some way would fit The Walk, also name of his Vollstandig is God's Walk, As' Vollstandig is God's Fear and his epithet is The Fear.

I agree that he could be related to Ishida, he have glasses and have mustaches like Soken.

We weren't even introduced to Pepe until later on. If you remember, this Stern Ritter was one of the very first we saw and met along with the other Major stern ritters that were first introduced along with Haschwalth, As nodt, Bambietta... ETC. They're all on the higher ranks of the Stern Ritter e.g top letters. I believe you're underestimating his power.

In Bleach, Kubo makes it so the powerful, important characters leave their mark on the Major characters. Aizen cut off Yamamoto's arm, Unohana gave a scar to Kenpachi, and this Stern Ritter blasted out Kyoraku's eye. As one of the first Stern Ritter to be introduced and to already deal significant lasting damage to a major character immediately tell's us that he means business.

Furthermore ask yourself, why hasn't Kubo shown us anything of him yet??? We haven't seen a single glimpse of him since the war started. What's going on? Well, seems like he's saving the best for last. Kubo could have immediately shown us him vs Kyoraku or something else with an instant, quick takedown but no. We've seen the other big Sternritters in action but absolutely nothing of him yet. Hell... We don't even know his name or his nickname. I think it's fair to speculate that he's in the top tier of Sternritters.

1. Yes, i know, but my reply was on your last comment (06-04-2014).
2. Only Letter A (Emperor and Prince) and Letter B (Grand Master) goes by power level and i think that C and D maybe could also be third and fourth strongest letters, other letters don't go by power level.

Good catch this for scar. But you misunderstand me, i didn't say that he is weak, i think that he is one of top tier SR, i just said that i think that first 4 letters goes by power (first two for sure, other two is just my assumption) and i already see 4 SR being more powerfull than him, actually there are more of them, Bach, Uryu, Hashwalth, Pepe, Askin, Grammy and for know it's very likely Bazz-B.
Simple reason i see him as weaker than people listed is that SR need more "top top tier" fighters so that they could rival Goteis strength and Colonel Sanders is not because his power will go from Starrk's level to Kyoraku's level of power. He is stronger than Coyote, he was able to damage Kyoraku, unlike Starrk, but he is also weaker than Kyoraku, since without his Vollstandig he was heavily damaged by Kyoraku's shikai and Vollstandig = Bankai, so if Kyoraku used his Bankai back than it would be game over for Colonel Sanders.
There are many people on Shinigami's side who are around Kyoraku's or above his level, there are Hirako, Byakuya, Renji, Zaraki, Juushiro, Rukia, Urahara, Yoruichi, Isshin, Tessai (estimation), Royal Guard + there are characters who will play big role in this war like Matsumoto and Mayuri (not that level, but still) and there are also mysteryos bodies from Szayel lab that Mayuri took + other Visoreds + Grimmjow. Oh and i forgot Ichigo. "Bold" people are the ones who are on Kyoraku's or above his level (others are the people that need to fight in war) and Colonel Sanders at the best could be on that level (if not weaker) and SR need to rival strength of these people, so that's why unreveald SR need to have unbelieveble stronger in order to do so.

Furthermore ask yourself, why hasn't Kubo shown us anything of him yet??? We haven't seen a single glimpse of him since the war started. What's going on? Well, seems like he's saving the best for last. Kubo could have immediately shown us him vs Kyoraku or something else with an instant, quick takedown but no.

Same can go for Askin, Pepe (i highly think that he is C), L,M,N.
My pick for his letter would be W, the Walk, like i said before.

I know i got little of topic, sorry about that.

I still think he's Ishida's grandfather but what if it's revealed he's also Ichigo's grandfather and Kubo gives us a familial relation between Ichigo and Uryu. Brothers of opposing forces work together to lead soul society and Earth into a peaceful future, end of series.

I think he is Ichigo's grandpa or something from his mom's side.
