As we know so far, Ichigo, Kenpachi & Aizen make up 3 of them, so who will the last 2 be?

To be fair, I don't think Uryu is one since Yhwack see's him more as someone who will surpass him and bear the letter "A", rather than a war potential.

With that being said, I think the candidates for the last 2 Special War Powers are:
When Yhwack referenced the band of "Bloodthirsty Killers" that Yama had, he himself stated that Unohana was the premier member. Furthermore, if Kenpachi was a war potential himself, Ywhack would be blind to leave Unohana off that list.




So if she was one of the 5 Special War Powers, that means there's only 1 unknown left.



He was the only guy that Aizen truly despised and was wary of because he was smarter than him and he knew it + Aizen even thought Urahara was able to stand-up to the SK. And he is also hands down one of the most powerful characters in the series.


She has God-like abilities and moreover is because anyone who would intrigue Aizen should certainly be of interest to Yhwack.


Most likely the last pure Quincy (bar the Vandenreich), and given he's the father of Uryu, he should also be of interest to Yhwack.





And if I were to choose 2 out of that list, I'll go with: Orihime & Unohana. Meaning Orihime is the only one left since Unohana's dead.

Orihime? wait... did you really just said Orihime? What ever ability she might have... you must have wrong understanding what war potentials means... you take Ichigo, Aizen, Zaraki... and Orihime? I can see her surpass maybe some lieutenant but never a Captain.

she doesn't have what above mentioned trio have... I let you figure out what

Honestly, I still think Uryuu is one of them, and the fifth is probably someone we have very little knowledge of. Such as, the Soul King. According to Ywach, Uryuu has the potential to surpass even himself, but then again, maybe that was just an exaggeration set up by Ywach, however; he wouldn't really need him if he wasn't as strong as Ywach advertised him to be. That one's gonna be a wait and see ordeal. As for my theory behind the Soul King, everybody seems to respect him, and he's deemed to be an unmentionable. Besides, I highly doubt the Soul King would just kick up his legs and relax while the Seireitei gets obliterated. He'll come out sooner or later.

As for your war potentials, the reasons why I don't see Orihime or Unohana to be them is because, Ywach probably already knew Kenpachi defeated Unohana when Kenpachi was a child, that's why Ywach picked Kenpachi to be a war potential over Unohana. As for Orihime, her powers might be the most 'unique' out there, but even Aizen basically just used her as bait when he captured her.

Ahh, most of what you said makes sense.

I think Aizen was one of them. But Juha did fail to convince him to join the light side.

I doubt Unohana or Orihime are war potentials as one of them is dead while the other...is well...other than healing she's pretty useless.

Kubo is going to fully use each of the war potentials so that's why I don't see Unohana being one, with Orihime her powers while have potential, she just doesn't have the conviction to use them.

Personally I think it's people who have shady backgrounds. I think the war potentials are.

1) Ichigo - Obvious reasons.
2) Zaraki - Again obvious reasons.
3) Aizen - Yet again obvious reasons.
4) Uryu/Grimmjow - Uryu hasn't been confirmed to be a war potential and I have a weird feeling about Grimmjow.
5) Urahara - His background is to shady, he's been to the royal realm and knows a lot more secrets than we know, and he's intelligent enough to be a threat.

Considering one of the noble clans is still a mystery maybe it is somebody still unknown.
So far for noble clans we have
-kuchiki
-shihouin
-shiba
?

This is a possibility also more than likely it could be tessai the man knows forbidden ranked spells nobody else has whipped out forbidden ranked hado or bakudo besides him.

Urahara power! I have not read the manga yet and do not know what a war power is, but Urahara owns.

You make some good points!

P.S. By "royal realm", do you mean the SK's palace? If so, I think I missed something since I don't remember Urahara ever going there.

She has literally brought people back from the dead. Are you daft? With her on your team your men could die countless times and be revived as long as she is protected.

OP: Unohana is dead now so she can't be a war potential and seeing as how Bach skipped Uryu's father and went right for Uryu he A) doesn't care about him or B) When he abandoned Quincy life he fell off Bach's radar.

Uryu could be one of them seeing as how Bach tried to get him on his side and I think you are right about Orihime, Aizen saw something in her and wanted her for her power it stands to reason Bach would as well. I couldn't see him being close to turning Urahara so he probably won't consider him knowing it would be a waste of time.

I think it was stated when Ichigo was healing in the hot springs with Kirinji (I think that's his name) he mentioned that Urahara was able to create the exact same healing hot spring by analyzing Kirinji's.

Not to mention the talk both Urahara and Aizen had before he was sealed lead me to believe both Aizen and Urahara might have already seen him, I can't be sure but there's a lot of foreshadowing.

Also no one knows anything about Urahara other than he is Yourichi's friend and was a previous captain...I mean I maybe over thinking things a little but to me that shows Kubo done this for a reason.

Actually it was shown...Aizen used Orihime to bait Ichigo into coming into Hueco Mundo...

Also she hasn't brought anyone from the dead, near death yes...but she hasn't revived anyone from the dead. Also I believe a potential is someone who could pose a threat to the Quincies.

Then again perhaps I'm not seeing what you're seeing in Orihime, as to me she's as important as Chad is to the story line.

I have that feeling about Grimmjow also, he's been missing for a whole arc.. he could be training..."Figuring out his second release" and don't forget he's a hollow... so he could be stealing/eating souls to power himself up... Since it is a power up arc. I just hope we see Urahara's Bankai.

It was to my understanding that the 5 War Potentials that Juha first spoke of excluded Aizen.

The War Potentials are 5 people who will play a crucial role in the Quincy/Shinigami war. Aizen was asked to join them but he refused. Had he accepted he would have been the 6th. That's what I thought anyways because, personally, it doesn't make much sense to name Aizen one of the 5 originals if he's incarcerated. He can't do anything from where he's at, thus, he's currently not a threat.

Ulquoirra killed ichigo and she revived him so he could fight again. episode 164[video=youtube;mmoO5Ez-Dks]https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=mmoO5Ez-Dks#t=1246s[/video] around 20 minutes in

Juhabach actually mentioned Orihime's name during his talk with Ichigo so that has to mean something.
