As I brought up in this CRT, I believe that the Soul King's tab for "With Fullbringer powers" should be revised.
This is one of the main points for the Soul King:
At one time it was interpreted to mean "he has countless abilities such as the Fullbringers" and so every Fullbringer's unique ability sets was added to the Soul King.
Supporting evidence was given for this as each Fullbringer's abilities originate from having a tiny fragment of the Soul King bound to them (which apparently is why Hollows attack them and seemingly awaken their abilities). But each Fullbringer forms their ability by having an affinity with a specific object, except Aura who just has the standard Fullbringer abilities turned up to eleven. The Soul King doesn't have the same kind of affinity as each of the Fullbringers do. We don't even know if the abilities they each awakened to is something that the Soul King originally posssessed.
I think that the Soul King, just as he would possess the standard Quincy ability set and standard Shinigami ability set, should also have the standard Fullbringer ability set but he should not have the unique individual abilities possessed by each Fullbringer.
There is nothing in the manga or the novels that I can find that says he can use Book of the End, or Shun Shun Rikka, or Invaders Must Die, etc.
So in summary; we remove the specific abilities used by other Fullbringers, and update Soul King to use standard Fullbringer abilities.
This is one of the main points for the Soul King:
“He was a Quincy and also at the same time a Soul Reaper, and also just a normal person bearing countless abilities like a Fullbringer. He was the symbol of hope who ruled over all in the chaotic world.”
