[Theory] Ichigo is Haschwald V2

[Your Creepy Stalker]

I'm bored, here's another crackpot theory. Ichigo is the same kind of quincy as Haschwald.

Ichigo's worthless classmates start the series unable to see or sense spirits. By the end of FKT arc, they could clearly see Aizen and Gin. The explanation given was that Ichigo's reiatsu had buffed their own. This is very similar to the effect that Haschwald had on Bazz-B during their childhood.

Ichigo had never shown any quincy powers prior to the war arc, and even then, only when in the presence of Yhwach. Prior to meeting Yhwach, Haschwald had no real quincy powers, and couldn't even manifest a spirit weapon.

This next bit is mostly a guess, but Yhwach identified Haschwald as "His other half" while the Yhwach Zangetsu claims to be a part of Ichigo. No other quincy has shown a Yhwach manifestation like Zangetsu.

Ichigo survived the Auswahlen before the start of the series, even though he isn't a pure quincy. If he had Haschwald-esque powers, this would make perfect sense.

And of course, Ichigo must always have all the powers of every possible thing ever, therefore he must be Haschwald.

Ichigo is a blonde.

Ichigo becomes yhwachs opposite instead of other half called it

I would like this because then it makes the YH manifestation unique to ichigo.

I wouldn't be surprised if Ichigo turned out to be that kind of Quincy, since he's the most special snowflake in Bleach. But there are a couple weak spots in this theory:

- Ichigo's Quincy powers may have been simply inactive until he awakened them inside Quilge Opie's Jail, as stated by Yhwach.
- He used Blut Vene, even if subconsciously. Can special Quincies do that? Would be nice if we could get a word from Jugo about that. If he can't use Blut, then Ichigo isn't like him.
