I agree with the first part of your video. If Ouetsu is aware of all the zanpaktou that arise from his Asauchi, then why he wouldn't have informed SS. Kubo clearly didn't plan this far ahead so there's not much sense in dwelling on this question too much
How Ichigo got his zanpaktou hasn't been answered.
The part where Masaki saves Isshin is after what happened in the previous chapter.
As far as Ichigo's Hollow, I always preferred the explanation that he became a Hollow and a Shinigami simultaneously. His soul chain was eaten away right when he gained his Shinigami powers back in Urahara's training grounds.
I'm one of the people who absolutely hates the idea of Aizen returning as the final villain. In my opinion, he doesn't make for a very interesting baddie. He's too OP to the point where you can't even see or touch him (literally). I don't want another dozen wasted pages of him cutting through the Captains like a hot knife through butter. It's boring.
In my eyes the Quincys should be the final enemies. It brings closure to an ancient conflict between the two races. If that wasn't enough there's also Ishida and Ryuken returning to the story, Masaki and Isshin's history, and Ichigo's roots. It's really the best way for Bleach to end.

I think Aizen's previous loss to Ichigo brings him more down to earth and less OP'd. Plus he'd most likely be fighting top Quincys &/or Zero division who haven't seen his Shikai yet so he couldn't own them left and right. Granted if he's FV he'll get a power boost, but I'm sure any FV will be super strong.
With that said you make some good points in favor of the Quincys, so i'd be fine with them as well. I just feel like Aizen has been the main villain so long that it seems more fitting for him to be the final villain here.

Does ouetsu kno the ability of every zanpacto? An does he really care about what happen to SS? What happens in SS is not there problem as that one guy from zero squad said.

The problem I have with that is that the Quincy are so pathetically weak. They need to steal Bankai to even be able to keep up with the captains. I don't enjoy watching fights like that. The arrogance of the Quincies pisses me off too. They're weak as shit, yet they talk bigger trash than Aizen did.

Quincys weak? I completely completely disagree. They don't have to steal Bankais. They're just doing it because they can. The Vandenreich, being Quincys, despise the Shinigami. They would do anything they could to ridicule, humiliate, and destroy their pride, will, spirits, what have you. This war is personal to the Quincy. Even if they didn't need to steal their Bankais, they would still do it out of pure spite.
Just because the Sternritters have been stealing Bankais doesn't mean they aren't capable of fighting without them. Take the guy Kyoraku was fighting, for example. He didn't steal any Bankai but he was still fast and strong enough to take out one of Kyoraku's eyes. Haschwald too. He destroyed Ichigo's new Bankai with one strike.
When the Quincys first came to Soul Society, Byakuya himself said that they weren't enemies they could fight without busting out their Bankais:

Just like Renji said. If the Quincy can steal Bankais, then they should have just not used them, right? But Byakuya risked using it anyways because they needed to.
Byakuya is an arrogant guy. He likes to talk down to his opponents and gloat. But if he of all people admitted this, then it means that they're pretty formidable opponents
On the flipside of my argument, what does it matter if they can steal Bankais? That's still a tool they have. We may not like it, but it's a part of their arsenal which makes it fair game.
To be honest, we've known since the very beginning that Quincys can absorb reishi from their surroundings and turn it into their own reiatsu - Ishida vs Mayuri. Stealing Bankais is, in a way, an extension of that ability. They're incorporating something external into their own power and using that to their advantage. I don't get what the big deal is. Nobody called Ishida weak when he was cannibalizing the buildings around him. Why? Because it was a part of his ability. It's the same thing with the Bankai stealing.
