If they escape unscratched from him then I can say that the last ark will be a peace of sh&t and if ichigo gets his ass kick I will probably drop this manga.
Yes because the strongest people being the strongest is so illogical.
Shinigami is a teaching and it is the teaching to cleanse souls. Soul society is about one thousand year old, shinigami didn't exist long before that, all there was were souls.
I'll say straight what I think from now on.
Before SS creation the most powerfull fraction were the souls that hold the most spiritual awareness, basically the people we knows as the royal guard.
Because of their power, normal souls tried to immitate them but they were soon divised into three teaching: The teacher to cleanse a soul, the teaching to kill a soul and the teaching to control a soul.
Shinigami(The teaching to cleanse) and Quincy(The teaching to kill) were probably in an opposition to the Fullbring (The teaching to use a soul) which leaded to the eradication of the fullbringers.
It is easy to see how people that both seek soul not to make trouble would go against those that could use these soul for bad purpose.
With time the Shinigami teaching became the biggest out of the two remaining, the SS was formed and they started to disagree with the Quincy teaching which leaded to the eradication of this teaching.
My point is that we should expect the Royal guard to be able to master these three teaching and even more since all power we know so far is probably an immitation and a variation of them.
Royal guard have been there before SS was created, they were there before Shinigami, Quincy and fullbring teaching were created.
Nobody should be able to stand a chance against them, not even Ichigo now and I'm pretty much sure the reason he will be able to will be because of the secret of his birth.
