Bleach

So do the novels reveal whether the SK took the position of the crystallized dead corpse himself or was forced by the Shinigami? Also any more details on Yhwach's relationship with him? Is the almighty a generational technique? Seems like the SK had it as well.

The SK was forced into the position, but he never resisted even though he could have.
The SK had The Almight, it served as the core of his powers and it is necessary for every Lynchpin to have it. This in turn implies that Ichigo and Ginjo have it too.
Yhwach is unknown, but he was either the flesh and blood son, or a fragment with a will of his own like Pernida and Mimihagi, or Gerard.
But Yhwach was flawed and like his father he was more than just quincy, so it stands to reason that he was his son.

Why the fuck isn't this shit in the manga?

>it is necessary for every Lynchpin to have it
no

Because Kubo likes being coy and doesn't like to reveal his whole hand.
Hikone is incomplete, in the story he still is not a worthy soul king. Almighty forms the very basis of the Lynchpin, this is stated.

Kubo hado heartho issues, puresu andastutando.

>this is stated.
nah all you have to be is a hybrid

Kubo suffered came down with a bad case of afluenza so he couldn't finish it.

The 5 noble clans backstabbed him.
If Yhwach hadn't been able to replace the Soul King the shinigami would have picked Ichigo which is why Kyoraku told Ichigo's friends to say farewell to him at the beginning of the arc.
Shinigami are colossal assholes.

>Ichigo now has The Almighty too
Fucking bullshit. Kubo did the right thing by not expanding on the whole SK thing and going straight for a Hell arc.

The faggot couldn't even learn how to make a bow, you really think Kubo's gonna have him learn the single most advanced quincy power?

No all you need is a fragment of the soul king which all fullbringers have

Kubo can actually show Ichigo learning some Quincy techniques in the anime. The whole big reveal of Masaki being a Quincy and him unconsciously activating Blut vein did jack shit in the long run. Heck even traditional basic techniques would be enough. Imagine Ichigo being able to switch to his Quincy side like he did with the hollow for horn of Salvation.

What's Bleach EX?

Better question is what the fuck is Hogyoku, why is it so powerful and how did Urahara/Aizen made it?

I always considered lack of any info behind as a huge plothole

Because Kubo didn't think about this until later on when he worked on the novel. Everything interesting about the lore of soul society and Quincy and whatnot was explained in the novel when a lot of these stuff could have been tackled upon in the manga even before the final arc so yes all that stuff was after thought.

Art exhibition.

>what the fuck is Hogyoku
A mini soul king
>how did Urahara/Aizen made it
They found pieces of the SK inside random people and made a concentrated extract with them

Retarded and mostly wrong as already shown in the thread

Half the shit you said is wrong.
