This is kinda fucked up, if it really is ending soon. There's... a LOT that Kubo never covered. I was honestly expecting a whole turn back the pendulum-style flashback mini-arc to explain the original Quincy/Shinigami war, show Yhwach when he was young, give some actual fuckin backstory and motivation to what's happening here. And that's just the tip of the iceberg, we don't know ANYTHING about the Soul King. I've given the story the benefit of the doubt numerous times so far because I believed Kubo was just hinting at things that'd be explained later, but if the story is really in its final throes and doesn't address any of this shit, I'm gonna toss Kubo on the shitheap of history where he belongs.
