i dont know if this was brought up previously or not, but i'm re-reading "ichigo's origin" i.e. mother & father history...
his mother is the last of her family of pure-bloods, but after being tainted by the hollow, shes not pure anymore.
ichigo's father says she died during the quincy fallen king's resurrection prophecy starting.
she had her powers absorbed and died in battle fighting KingFisher hollow.
Uryuu's mother was a half-blood, and also had her power taken. her weak body could not survive the process and she died.
here's my problem:
if the culling of non-pure-blood quincys took ichigo's mother, and ishida's mother, why didnt it take ichigo?
the king directly says to ishida, "you are the sole living survivor; you possess something that can surpass my power"
but soon its explained that ichigo's hollow, is the same one that attacked & became parasite to his mother, and was birthed on to him like dna (??)
his mother is part quincy, party shimigami, part hollow, part human
ichigo is part quincy, part shimigami, part hollow, part human
she dies, he doesnt.
hello plot hole
