Well, its a day ending with a Y. you know what that means. Its time for another crackpot theory or rant about Gremmy Thoumeaux! and today, a very special one! BOTH AT ONCE! On to the theory!
Basically, Gremmy is the soul kings brain. Heres a bunch of reasons why.
1, Why would the soul kings brain be around?: There are at least 3 pieces of the soul king running around, so i can easily believe that there are more we didn't realise where pieces. For instance, we didn't know Gerard was the heart until Askin said so.
2, Why would the Gremmy be a piece of the soul king?: Askin describes Pernida and Gerard as "Possessing unimaginable power". While this particular wording does more or less the opposite of applying to Gremmy, you must admit that he was about as Hax as is possible to get without just being omnipotent. His powers where FAR more impressive than the average sternritter, and i cant see Yhwach giving Gremmy those abilities and others something worthless like the Iron or the Roar. In addition, nowhere in the fight is it directly stated that Gremmy was given his powers by Yhwach, though that doesn't prove much.
3, Why would he be specifically the brain?: Gremmy's real body is a brain in a jar. No explanations are given as to why Gremmy is a brain in a jar, and it has always confused me why. Both Pernida and the Mimihagi take the form of arms, so it isn't unreasonable to assume that the soul kings brain would be an actual brain. Also, it removes the question of "Why did Yhwach decide to give the strongest ability he had to a brain in a jar?"
4, Why would the brain be separate from the Soul king?: The Soul king has been stated to have done things in the past, such as giving Ichibe the title "monk who calls the real name". However, when we finally see it it is basically a statue and doesn't react to anything, even being sliced in half. as both of its arms are missing, any piece of the Soul king that becomes its own entity causes that piece to be removed from the main body. A the Soul king doesn't react to anything, it is rather safe to assume its missing a brain, which would be gremmy.
5, Why the hell would the brain be a quincy?: Gremmy is a Quincy. While that sounds like a flaw in this argument, of the 4 characters that have came from the soul king (Mimihagi, Pernida, Gerard and Yhwach), three of them have been Quincys, and

This makes it seem as though all the pieces of the soul king are Quincys, so it would make sense that if the Soul kings brain was around, it would be a quincy as well. (and possibly the soul king himself, but thats a theory for another day).Next week on Crackpot Theories with Your Creepy Stalker: Was Shaz Domino really Espada #8, Szaelapporo Granz in disguise? Is Yhwach's Moustache a separate entity with it's own sternritter ranking? Was BG9 one of Bambietta Basterbine's science projects in high school? Learn the answers to these questions, and more, Next Week. They're all No. Shaz Domino is actually Zomari, Yhwach's Moustache is actually a member of the Espada (number -1), and it was Lilloto who build BG9 in high school. All Bambietta had was a baking soda volcano.
