to be the soul king, is it necessary to be mutilated?

for example, if ichigo had become the soul king, would it be necessary for him to be completely mutilated? As far as I know, the original soul king was only sealed and maimed, because they feared its power, and as far as I know no one feared the power of ichigo.

We dont exactly know, but I imagine as long as the person is sealed on the cristal it does not matter if they are whole or not
 
No, they mutilated the Soul King because they were afraid of his power and him resisting, even though he didn't resist.

Though it's possible that the "ritual" includes mutilating the "Soul King" even if it isn't actually necessary, just because the five ancestors did it originally.
 
Copy paste of my awnser on reddit :

"No , it is absolutly not required . Yhwach became the SK for a short while and could move around no problem.

But as whoever become the Soul King hold the entire verse in his hands ( he could modify and destroy it very easily), the shinigami want complete control over him. This came to mutilating the SK and sealing what remain.

As the novels say " They wanted a King convient for themselves." "
