I think the reason so much of Bleach goes over people's heads, even fans, is that it is too subtle for most people. Because it's worldbuilding isn't in your face, like say One Piece, Bleach ends up getting a lot of underserved flak. I'm so happy that the TYBW anime is changing so many opinions. My money for headache medicine certainly thanks Pierrot and Kubo for reducing the amount of arguments I've had.
That’s all cool but One Piece isn’t in readers face with world building as you put it, Oda does visual storytelling to show the readers what they need to see to get good understanding, then what then everything else Oda shows by dialogue of characters, through the unique cultures of each island Strawhats visit, and the reader we only know as much as the Strawhats would. Unlike Bleach the story of One Piece is an adventure story so good and well detailed world building is MASSIVE part that plays into One Piece’s plot. Oda is subtle with parts with his world building or lore building, giving enough to keep the reader interested and later revealing what he building up in later Arcs which sometimes happens hundreds of chapters later on in One Piece.
I think Adnyeus waiting millennia for someone like Ichigo to kill him to end his suffering actually makes a lot of sense because he has foreseen that future due to becoming bound by obligation to be the lynchpin of the soul society, and due to being able to see that far ahead into the future, he willingly lets himself be cut down because his prolonged suffering has made his existence a living hell trapped inside of that crystal seal. I think his face captures that perfectly despite being unable to emote or do much of anything, but you can feel the sadness emanating from him as he dies
Nice interpretation, I'll add that I think you have already seen his suffering in the episode Ichigo is doing that training. I think that Ichigo understood it in that moment.
That may be true, but before that I think it was clear that somewhere along the way he communicated all of this through the sternritter, aka Gremmy, because through him he was able to perceive just how wrong everything was through his imagination via his brain, and that way we were kind of able to interpret it as this overwhelming resentment for having been forced to become the balance of the 3 worlds
This episode blew the door off the hinges!!! Honestly, *Bleach* has always been a series where deep lore and power structures operate on a razor-thin edge of morality, but Episode 28? It transcends expectations. Yhwach's revelation about Adanas, his literal father and the Soul King, flips our entire understanding of the world upside down. This isn't just "good vs. evil" anymore-this is a battle for cosmic justice against a deeply flawed system. The Soul Reapers might be keeping order, but it's clear that order comes at an unspeakable cost. Ichigo's struggle is no longer about protecting a broken world-it's about deciding which world deserves to survive. It's poetic, tragic, and thrilling all at once.
Yessss!! That’s what I am thinking about the whole day bleach blew my mind I realized that Yhwach is not even evil nor is the zero squad at least is Aizen evil but like you said it’s nigh impossible to tell which side is better to protect. It’s very very tragic and deep most people and myself can’t even comprehend. Ichigo was not manipulated he just got the Quincy blood in him there’s is so much more you can think about it the whole day and still not come to a conclusion the world is really messed up in bleach and the question is why did the soul king bring death to the world and seperates the world ? Ichigo and the others are in a very bad position like trapped in a broken world. But when the soul king saw everything maybe there is a good reason bleach Is the craziest written anime out there. I wish more people were smart like you to comprehend just a little bit how Tragic Bleach rlly is.
What I liked most about the episode, besides the excellent extended battle between Ichigo and Yhwach, is the depth of Yhwach's development and how he is made into a better villain than in the manga. Instead of wanting to return everything to the primordial world to remove the fear of death, here he seeks to create a world for the Quincys to be accepted, something that is not the case in the current world and to rub salt in the wound, Adnyeus knew that this would happen and still chose to act as expected, which understandably increases Yhwach's hatred for his father to he act the way we are now seeing.
I mean the only reason the Quincy aren’t able to truly thrive in this world is because of the Soul Reapers and the oppression have enforced on the Quincy. All Yhwach really has to is get rid off the Soul Society as it is and recreate it. The destruction of all 3 realms is just too much.
Maybe that’s why Ichigo represents the ideal solution to the systematic problems that come with each villain’s vision of the system or “fate” itself. Because Ichigo is literally a hybrid of all the races in the Bleach universe, he’s in this unique position where he isn’t bound by a single vision on how fate should be constructed because he wants to protect everyone, that includes all the worlds and races. And most importantly Ichigo’s the kind of person to want to find harmony amongst the different opposing worlds rather than placing one over the other.
It was a very good decision to tease the silver arrow earlier on. As well as Isshin, Ryuken and Ukitake‘s (hopefully) larger role in this season. While 2 will finally take action one is going to leave us Everything between Ichigo and Yhwach made this a 10/10 👍already.
Now I definitely think ichibei had something to do with the pitch black infant version of yhwach. Maybe thats ichibei way reincarnating yhwach and erasing his memory. and the craziest part is maybe yhwach was reincarnated by ichibei on multiple occasions. Its why ichibei in the 1000 year flashback goes to meet yhwach in person he trying to make sure yhwach doesn't remember his true past. Also it would probably explain why yhwach after the war chose to hide inside the soul society, cuz know one would think of something that crazy.
I always had a theory that yhwach did exist in the primordial world, he or the soul king turned him back into a baby, maybe the reason yhwach did not age was because the soul king used mimihagi power of stagnation to stop his growth, and the only way for him to age and get back to his adult form was to take the souls and life force of the people who touched him, as in the manga, I think jugram said the baby knew he would survive, so even as a baby he still had his intelligence, so for almost a million years, yhwach suffered alone, that is kind off tragic, that is just my theory
A interesting thing about ichigo vs yhwach in the start is its the complete opposite of their 1st fight in cour 1. But also an interesting detail ive heard people bring up, is that yhwach shut off almighty and chose to fight in base, to trigger ichigo quincy reiatsu again, so that way he can control him better to do his bidding against the soul king. Similar to when ichigo encountered quilge opie reiatsu.
Yup totally agreed on Uruhara's part. Remember when Hiyori's comment on him, that she hates the part "for the greater good of SS" side from him and sending Ichigo and his team albeit knowing they couldn't do nothing except maybe delaying a little bit
I have a theory. What if Ichibei intended to replace the Reio with Yhwach 1,000 years ago? What if Yhwach knows about the Irazusando because he faced the same trial? What if thats how he acquired the Almighty and that also is why Ichigo's eyes changed because Adneyus gifted Ichigo the Almighty, the same as he didnfo Yhwach 1,000 years ago? Instead of siding with the Shinigami, Yhwach waged war.
14:06 We simply don't know the Soul King's motivations. Its possible he had some plan for the Quincies, and some place in the world, but that got lost once he was sealed away.
The Light Novels need to be read here, the Soul King didn't willfully allow this "imprisonment", but rather he was cut up and sealed there by the five original Noble Clans, I do believe, my memory isn't so great on the facts but I think this is how it happened. But I guess you could say he allowed it as his powers allowed him to like Ywacha he could see the future and not just moments into the future but thousand years into. If you consider all the powers that his body parts have individually, he possessed all of them and more when he was whole.
The Manga ending we got was rushed. Tite Kubo is giving us all the real ending he wanted in the Anime! I have watched Cour 1 at least 10xs already, watched Cour 2 about 5xs. We are just 2 episodes into Cour 3 and it has been AMAZING. Cant wait to see Aizen get released.
9.5/10 very good very noice! Animation cooked, fractionally less than what I was expecting but still amazing. Also the additions, our boy finally has a name!
One thing I completely forgot (and I think a lot of us may have as well), is that Yhwach isn’t Yhwach’s original name. He mereley gave himself that name. In the manga when we learn about the baby who was blind and couldn’t move (Yhwach’s origin in the human world), we’re told that the child was worshipped as a God and that he took on the name of the God that the people prayed to. Since we now know that he is in fact from the primordial world and was reborn into the human world after reality was split by the Soul King, it begs the question what his original name was. It also begs the question why he wouldn’t use his original name, given the fact that he knows his father’s real name. Maybe he doesn’t want to use it as an act of defiance since he hates his father? Or his name was taken from him due to being reborn in the human world? It wouldn’t surprise me if Ichibei somehow erased his original name. Thoughts?
That's a very good point! Perhaps he's protecting his real name so no one can use it to gain power over him. I would expect that Ichibe would know Yhwach's real original name, unless the Soul King himself prevented it.
@@megalictis9002 I could definitely see that happening. Given the importance of names it wouldn’t surprise me if his original name was sealed for whatever reason. I dare say that the Soul King’s name was sealed (or possibly erased) too, given what happened to him. Regardless, Ichibei likely has something to do with it in both Yhwach’s and Soul King’s case.
@@roywempor8395 That's what most of us kind of leaned into however with the latest episode it seems that both of them not only co-existed during the primordial era, but also that Adnyeus was put into his "eternal coma" after yhwach was reborn in the human world once the triplet world was performed. He can't be Adnyeus' reincarnation. At the very least not in the true sense of the word.
I like this. If this is true, then that’s what ywhach is gonna see when he’s defeated by ichigo at the end I believe. He’s gonna see the vision that adnyeus had of ichigo really being the one to change the soul society for the better, and that will complete his understanding
I dunno why everyone seems to miss this, but Yhwach says that Adnyeus saw a darkness that was threatening the primordial world. I think it's hell, as we know it exists and seemingly is outside of the cycle created by the primordial sin. I believe, the creation of the 3 worlds, was all but a mere effort to try and hold back hell
At the time of he separation of the worlds (according to CFYOW) Hell existed, but was just an empty pit, and the primordial ancestor of the unnamed fifth Noble House wanted to put a cover on it. It exists outside of the three worlds created by the separation of the primordial world into three, but since that event also separated the states of life and death Hell did not yet have a function. Since the separation of the primordial world created the need for a balance of souls, Hell had no impact on that balance before it existed.
@@megalictis9002Don't know about that, if it's just an empty pit with nothing substantial, why do one of the Noble Family wants to cover it? Just randomly wake up one day after a conspiracy meeting and decided 'Fuck that one hole in particular'?
@@jordanjames3194 🤣"Yes, just THAT one! Don't pretend you don't know which one! The BAD one!" The story doesn't specify the reason. Possibly the hole was impressively deep and s/he considered it a falling hazard? A general fear of heights? Concern about the insurance liability?
Dude, if this episode was insane? Just wait, the big battle is going to be UNREAL!! TYBW has just been phenomenal all the way around, simply perfection.
been browsing some theories and I found the zaniest one. Ichibe was complicit to Ywach Ichigo killing the Soul King since Ichibei wants to free his best friend Adyneus. Since as they explained Cfow alluded that Ichibe is like best buddies with Adyneus. its like the wierdest theory that paints Ichibe in a better light but it would be funny if this is somehow true. In any case he will still end up using Ichigo as the keystone replacement so Ichibei is still sus at the end of the day.
I think the creation of the Quincy began when he was put into the cycle of rebirth and everyone who touched him and took his power/healing became the very first Quincy which is why he says he's the father of the Quincy
can't believe Yhwach was turned into Aizen with him saying that Ichigo's existence was all part of his plan 🤣 Next thing you know we will have the king of hell being like your existence was all part of plan Ichigo Aswell🤣
@@rohanmanuel1815 that's just semantics Yhwach knew a hybrid being similar to Adnyeus would be born into the world, that being Ichigo, and used Ichigo as a part of plan to kill Adnyeus . I wouldn't be surprised if Yhwach used the Almighty to craft the current time where Ichigo exists in the world.
I am wondering if the Hell Arc of Bleach is trying to imply something more about the Quincies and their role in the cosmology of Bleach. Shinigami are balancers, they enable pluses to move on and also purify hollows so that their Reishi can go on to join the natural cycle of death and rebirth. Quincies disrupt this cycle causing an imbalance of souls and Reishi in the worlds. So what if the true purpose of Quincies was to keep the souls of hell in balance with the seiretei, hueco mundo and the realm of the living by destroying any and all powerful souls from entering hell thereby denying hell from spilling out into the other realms. We know that Quincies abilities disrupt the Reishi of shinigami from rejoining the cycle of death and rebirth, but does that ability only apply to hollows, or is it universal to souls in the world of bleach? Now that Quincies are endangered species again, Hell no longer has any natural predators. In my head i see it this way: - Shinigami maintain an equilibrium of Reishi in all worlds and uphold the status quo. - human souls and hollows are the sum total of all Reishi that the system of death and rebirth can maintain, when there is an imbalance of one. (They're the natural predators of Hollows). - Quincies are meant to be a failsafe for when that system fails, if Hollows become too powerful, they can remove that Reishi and allow the cycle to reach a steady point of equilibrium again. - Hollows ensure that the balance of Reishi is always kept in check because restless souls will always become Hollows, if there are no hollows or too many, the system becomes inbalanced. - Finally, if what I said about Quincy abilities erasing Reishi from the cycle then i must be right about the Hell Arc! Quincies are the true balancers of the Bleach cosmology. We know that the purification ritual doesn't work on extremely powerful Shinigami like Yamamoto and that only the most evil souls get sent to hell. So the only way for Hell to remain in balance is if the Quincy are meant to erase their Reishi. Hollows are the natural predators of the Quincy. Shinigami are the natural predators of Hollows. Fullbrings are a spiritually transmitted virus, and can be used to indicate if the balance of Reishi is stable or not. Or maybe theyre an indicator of the Soul Kings will and influence in the world [honestly idk how they fit in with my theory]. Quincies are (or atleast should be) the natural weakness of extremely powerful entities. Powerful enough to erase Reishi, but not so much that they themselves couldn't be stopped.
Regarding the Soul King’s motivation, I think he was benevolent and a good guy so to speak. As per CFYOW, the Soul King was the one who protected humans from hollows in the primordial world. Though inadvertently, him doing so is also what led to the shinigami’s paranoia and the separation of the worlds. Yhwach also mentioned in episode 28 that the Soul King had the power to keep a certain darkness at bay. What could it be? Surely it wasn’t the hollows. I think the “darkness” has something to do with whatever is in the hell world. Putting everything we know together, my theory is this: Soul King was protecting humans by destroying hollows. However, this created too much chaos and the shinigami ancestors came up with splitting the world in three as a solution. Plus the original sin so they could keep power. However because of the Almighty the Soul King knew he would be betrayed but more importantly, he knew that the only way to keep the humans safe from hollows was separating the worlds. He also knew that in the far future a man would be born with the essence of every race. That man would unite or at the very least usher in a change into the systems that would bring tranquility for all. That man would also have the power to defeat or keep “the darkness” (hell boss) at bay in the Soul King’s stead. In short, I believe the Soul King had looked into the far future and entrusted Ichigo to protect the world he created and everyone in it.
I always took Pernida's line to Mayuri 'Pernida has always been a Quincy' as refering the Soul King, Adonaeus as we now know him, to be a Quincy to begin with. The so called King of Souls, the King of the Shinigami, being a Quincy is a fantastic thing. Now that implicatiion of what a Quincy is and what WE know and/or witnessed in the story Quincies are, I believe is heavily implied to be different things. I'll explain my views, them being a mix of speculation, theorizing and my understanding of the Bleach universe as a whole however big or small that is, I'll let that to you or others to judge. And I apologize in advance for this bible I'm about to write. To start, another line that has always stuck in me was Yhwach refering to the Almighty as "The eyes of a True Quincy". So that's the difference being written in manga panels by Tite Kubo that Quincies as the characters we know and Quincy as a form of existance are two different things, and I believe this is what Yhwach and Adonaius are: True Quincies, and that's how Pernida's line makes sense to me. I imagine, in the primordial world, there existed humans first, then hollows, as we were told in the CFYOW, and those humans, those who gained powers, are the True Quincies. I imagine them being able to tap into the power of the world, and that's also how Yhwach's statement to Ichibee "Everything in the World is mine for the taking" makes sense, when he negates Ichibee's debuffing abilities. Maybe even some had two eyed pupils, maybe some had 3, which I don't believe to be the case, but I do believe some had the power to at least see the future, the 2 pupil version of what we know as the Almighty- for I believe the humans and hollows interchanged places in the food chain for millenia and they kept evolving and growing in power in response to one another as the World wished them to. Then the hollows reaching their peak, that Original ultimate Menos, and the food chain stagnated. And then it came Adonaeus. A True Quincy (a human being from the eternal world, which is what I understand as a True Quincy) with four pupil eyes, and his capability to tap into the powers of the world were as we were described, nigh omnipotent. I don't know if Yhwach was his true born son or not, I believe what we saw was a metaphor, maybe he is a reincarnation of his son, and it was implied in the new scene with Ichibee when he visits the human world and seals the Almighty with the left arm, that the monk showed what it happened. Now, I believe Adonaeus 'reign' over the Eternalworld was everlasting, let's put it in millenia, but I don't think the chaos among human and hollow stopped. I believe it kept going but this time the humans were always on top. And I believe is during this time that the beings who were to become the Shinigami started to be born. Beings with incredible power, more so than any other "True Quincy" except Adonaeus, but this time they didn't have the capability to tap into the power of the world, but they held absolute power over one single aspect of the world. This is what I believe explaines the 'origins' of the Zanpakuto abilities and the innate ability Ichibee has over the concept of names, given we know he's a being born before the split of the world, and his power over names seems to be absolute, so absolute that he could take Adonaeus name off and rename him Reio, to serve the purpose of the founders (Which we also know it's canon). So these beings with absolute powers over a single power, became the new ruling class over the many humans, very powerful humans, who had access to the power of the world in a more wide sense and unspecific way, and this is what I believe explains why the Quincies lack special abilities but root their power in the gathering of Reishi -I'm not ignoring the schrifts but that's a whole other can of worms, as well as the how the "special Quincies who can't gather reishi but empower others work", so I'll leave it at that since deviates from the point I'm arguing on this post. That's it's my take into the difference between Quincy as we know it, and Quincy, refering to Yhwach and Adonaeus and how the soul king is indeed, a Quincy. And Yhwach as the only true Quincy, being either Adonaeus actual biological son (as in Adonaeus having actuallly conceiving him with a woman) or his heir in a more conceptual sense, like a reincarnation of that boy, or a left over of Adonaeus power that after the ritual took form and/or took host on a soul and were born into the human world a million years later, for me, is just details Ill let the author to enlighten us about and confirm which is true (or if non) if he fancies, but I don't think we actually need every single detail, it's not Kubo's style. With all of this, my conclusion is, Yhwach is a true Quincy, a being born into the split world that actually belongs to the Eternal World, and as such, he's both the son (whatever it means) of Adonaeus, as well as the Father of the Quincy. Because as he set his crusade, and learned how his powers works, he used them to bring back the Humans with spiritual superpowers that were never meant to be taken off the table, and he created the Quincies as the resurgement of those ancient powered humans who could tap into the powers of the world.
This is very interesting. I think you’re definitely on to something. To add on, the only ones who we see with “unusual” eyes are Yhwach, Pernida, Mimihagi and Soul King himself. All essentially primordial beings. At the very least, Yhwach’s statement of “these eyes are the proof of a true quincy” would imply that the Almighty eyes aren’t unique to just him and the Soul King. Rather, it seems to imply that they could be awakened by others. For example look at Ichigo. While he doesn’t necessarily have multiple pupils (outside of that one moment when he was in Irazusando), he is seeing visions of the past and future. I believe the opening of episode 28 is a vision that Ichigo is seeing and by the end he is seeing his defeat by Ywhach which also happens during the episode. As for the Soul King, I think he contained the essence of True Quincy, shinigami, human and fullbring. He was basically everything except hollow. However I think he was unique in that he could resist hollows unlike modern day quincies. We saw with Yhwach after he absorbed Soul King he took Ichigo’s hollow power yet didn’t die from it. Anyways, he’s enigmatic figure and hopefully we’ll learn more about him as we go.
@@jakesully007 Yes I always took that line about the eyes as having a heavy implication that aren't unique to him and the Soul King. I have at least tried to put myself in order my takes on how I believe the 'evolution' and how the 'races' came to be. I Don't believe everything comes from Adoneius, but I believe, with the Triplet World ritual he did set the rules or laws binded them. While Ichibee does say he was part 'everything', the way it's phrased is too specific, too concise and graphic of an explanation, that's not Kubo style. That's Narita trying to explain the concepts Kubo gave him for the novel and, in my opinion, failing- finding the Kubo Tite into Ryogo Narita's lines was a big hobby of mine during the long years of Bleach draught we had. Let me see if I can put this straight on how I see things and what you think about it. First humans came to be. Just like us in our real world, no big mistery there, just adding the soul and spirit aspects into the juice. We were told the cycle of souls was indeed a thing in this eternal world, so, while a 'someone' didn't die, their 'individualities' (egos) did still end to rise a new (ego). I'm keeping it vague because trying to grasp an idea of what the fuck Tite has in his mind about the Eternalworld's cycle of souls is a thick armoured glass ceiling I still don't know how to find the first crack. But it is a thing. I will refer to ending of an ego to become a new persona as life and death to not give you and myself, or anyone reading, a brain stroke. But what I believe it's just that. A transformation of sorts that kept the cycle of souls of this world moving and flowing without life and death. The closest I have to a theory about how this cycle worked is: Given how much Buddism influence tite puts into the manga, my mind rests on the simple thought of an Inmortal human from back then to just go back to the world, become a tree, an anival, a hive of bees, whatever, and then become human again as a new human, or even back to nature, after all, everything has a soul, and souls, as we know, are just part of the fabric of the universe instead of something godgiven, they can mute, they can fuse, they reside in thousands into a single being like in the case of Menos and Arrancars, etc. Humans evolved, the flow made the world move, keeping it from stagnation, until the point reached were it stagnated, and hollows came to be. How did hollows came to be? Probably the same way we see them come to be in the present. Humans should have been at their current peak at this world, so their 'lives' (the timelapse they experienced as a singular human being) extended tenfold, possibly even more. I do not envision this humans having 'superpowers', other than a deep conection to the world that helped their lives thrive into this chaotic young world. The rubicon reached were they lived so long without returning to the world that the harmony they lived with transformed into order, and order is THE CRIME against the nature of this world. One human outlived his round as being a human so long that his soul erupted from within and became the first hollow. He was hungry, and started devouring spreading his kind. Probably more developed naturally just like him or her, but I don't think there's much more mystery than that. Now this is what starts what I mentioned above about the period of the food chain swapping among the two races. The world found its way of ensuring the chaos never ended and stray way from order and stagnation. With this I believe the two evolutive lines emerge: The line of Humans and the line of Hollows. As we're told in the manga, the hollow hole is the result of the soul sleep manifesting outside the body and becomes the mask. This is how hollows gain their power. So hollows, were the first to manifest special abilities, and the only ones who can do it by virtue only of existing, everyone else needs a 'catalyst' -a schrift, a zanpakuto, a dear object -and with this powers they became the predators of the humans. The humans, who were attuned to the power of the world by this point, found a way to weaponize it, undoubtedly by virtue of the world lending them more power so the balance shifted again. I believe the 'True Quincies' are the evoluition of humans and their end game was Adoneus after millions of years of balance shifting, progressing and regressing between and hollows. Between the first hollow and Adenaous, however, there should have existed a hundred shades of grays and checkpoints during that evolution. Quincies who were in nature like Haschwalth, unable to tap into the power of the world but wielders of great power that influenced and empowered those arround them fit into another step in the evolution. Eventually, those Quincies were the ones who opened the second eye, because we know Yhwach calls Haschwalth as "someone like me who can't use reishi" But we do see Yhwach using it at ease, so that awakening can unlock the tapping into the powers of the world for them. The hollow counterpart to these are the menos. When Adonaeus faced the Omega Menos (to give it a name) and destroyed it, we are pointed out, that unlike previous instances where the world stagnated, this time it stagnated completely. The hollows lost the evolution race. We're told by Urahara than the counterpart of a Human is a Hollow, and the counterpart of a Quincy is a Shinigami. So what I believe it happened, as the world slowed down and the balance was tipped too much into the humans favour, the world rejected the hollows, and humans with the capability hollows have, that of having an special ability, came to be born from either the womb of a human (or maybe even from the womb of a hollow, given Kubo confirmed they can reproduce sexually just as Humans and Shinigami are able to), or perhaps also while some hollows (probably very powerful Menos just not as much as the Omega one) regaining their hearts and and humanize themselves back again into an indistinguishable but slightly different being than those Humans/True Quincies. This is supported by Aizen statement that Hollow and Shinigami are opposite (emphasis in the word opposite instead of the word counterpart) sides of the same coin and the only possible path for evolution beyond a thereshold is the breaking of that boundary. How does fullbring and Adoneous 'having all 5 power sources' into all of this? This is the item where I have absolute certainty I'm spot on and not just a bunch of ideas that came into my mind just because I love inquiring into the creative minds behind the fictional stories I love the most. I'm convinced this is the case and I hope you can agree with me: We tend to focus too much into the Almighty and the mistery those eyes held on them, and with fair reason, they're a fascinating piece of fictional power source, but we often overlook Yhwach's basic ability which is the power to split his soul and share it with others. And we have solid proof in the Bleach manga, that this is Adoneous basic innate ability as well, and not the Almighty, which is probably the power he developed as he reached into the Godlike being he came to be, and this was probably thanks to his soul sharing ability. I believe The Almighty is the ultimate form of 'The eyes of a True Quincy' who could be unlocked and developed into becoming basically God, thanks to the Soul Split/Sharing abiliy. That's how Adoneous has into his soul the powers of all races. As for the fullbring, it's not like 'Fullbring' is a race, a Fullbring is just a human having gained spiritual powers. But they do have an uniqueness, they have special abilities but can also tap into the power of the world, and in a way no other race can: by influencing the souls of things. This is also a thing I feel I'm spot on: A fullbring is born when a fragment of the soul king (a sliver of his soul) residing in a gestating human being's soul is influenced by hollow reiatsu: if we go with my thesis of the two evoltive lines having a specific characteristic The power of the evolutive line of humans and that of the evolutive line of Hollows MIX and gives birth to this weird hybrid that fullbring powers in nature are. They're not big game players into the bleach cosmolgy at simple glance, but why would Yhwach mention it to Ichigo as part of the grand scheme of things as something he needed? For me the answer is the most simple among all this post. To 'Kill the King' (pun intended) you need all the powers Adoneous holds into his soul (Human, Hollow, Quincy, Shinigami) AS WELL as a piece of his soul (Fullbring). Yhwach by virtue of all the deaths during the invasion on the Sereitei probably holds a big chunk of Shinigami souls into his by now, I won't argue if he has some hollow as well because we don't know if he's actually inmune or not to hollows like regular 'splitworld' born Quincies he created. But all that is irrelevant, Yhwach lacks the most important aspect: A piece of Adonaeus on his soul. I apologize if there was any grotesque/rough sentences or spelling errors I missed to spot. English is not my native language.
@@SilenceRed This was a fascinating break down! I think your “evolution theory” (if I may phrase it like that) is very plausible given everything we know and definitely paints a richer picture of Bleach’s creation history. A few things to consider though: 1. The manga does in fact explicitly describe Hollows as the opposite of humans and Shinigami as the opposite of Quincies. Urahara explains it when he breaks down how the vaccine would help save Masaki. 2. Kubo said that Shinigami and humans normally can’t reproduce and that only Urahara knows of a method to accomplish this. 3. I think you’re right that Adnyeus has the same ability as Yhwach to share his soul and over time he gained the essence of others, at the same time I’m not sure that’s how he became the divine being he was. Rather, with current information as per CFYOW, he was described as randomly having emerged at some point (as though he himself was willed into existence) with all of his power and abilities from the get go. The story never so much as hints at that he grew into power if you will. Some food for thought: Using your evolution theory and the facts laid out in the manga it brings up another interesting point: Humans, specifically modern day humans, have the potential to evolve into shinigami or hollow. For example if a human dies he either becomes a hollow or goes to soul society in the rukongai. But the story established that those in the rukongai aren’t necessarily shinigami. Which by the way brings up another point: how do shinigami actually come to be (aside from being born from a woman)? The manga never explains how normal souls can become shinigami. What exactly happens in that process? Anyways back to humans and their evolution tree. As far as we know, there hasn’t been a single case of a normal human who evolved into a Quincy. It seems as far as Quincies go, a human cannot just evolve into one like hollow or shinigami. Rather, a human has to be born as a Quincy from the get go. Which makes them even more unique. That said, it seems Yhwach (and I would imagine Adnyeus as well) could in fact turn anyone into a Quincy if he wanted, or at least allow them to use the powers of a Quincy. One bit of evidence for this is Ebern, the Arrancar that fought Ichigo at the start of the arc. He had Quincy powers. Another bit of evidence is that Kubo said in Klub Outside that Yhwach could bestow shrifts on Shinigami if he wanted to. Though in their case they might be more of a hybrid like Ebern. Especially also taken into consideration that Shinigami didn’t have zanpakutou before Ouetsu created them yet still could manifest powers.
@@jakesully007 Ill try to be shorter this time! 1- I used the words counterpart and opposite not to quote a the exact words on the manga, but the meaning is the sense, even if official translations use 'opposite' (I'd have to double check this) in both instances. Japanese has so many synonims for the same word where the actual meaning is held on the Kanji so sadly, the loosing of many nuances it's helplessly lose to translation to us even if the translator is amazing. In any case, by context of both scenes we can tell even if the same word were to be used, the implications are different. Why? Because in Aizen's speach he describes how that 'opposite' existance are sides of a coin they can melt breaking a boundary, and in the second Instance Urahara speaks about 'opposites' with the meaning of 'cancelling each other out'. 2. Yes but they can reproduce sexually with another member of their race just fine. I mentioned to point out even if it's counterintuitive to us, hollows can reproduce sexually. We don't see them with sexual organs in the manga but hey, it's a Shonen Jump manga. Just like some romcoms show the girls naked but with Barbie Doll Anatomies. And they can't reproduce in the modern splitworld, remember what I theorized about is the 'origins' of them in the Eteneral world. Shinigami were not even a thing, we can call them just Balancers, which I believe it's how this race were called in the Eternal world and the "they were called Balancers in the old days of Soul Society" can easily been just Ichibee keeping half the truths from the Shinigami society as we know he does. 3. The information we got from him in CFYOW is not the narrator but Ichibee words to some random young Royal Palace Citizens. As long as we don't actually contradict him directly (that being theorizing something which only way of making peace with that info is saying "The monk is lying") we can speculate. Narita said when promoting the novel 'I told Kubo-sensei the history of the Soul King was fascinating and he had to draw it some day'. I think he describing it so simple might have been him trying to tell as little as possible. But please do not take me saying 'He developed the 4 eyed almighty' as in he had a long progressing story where he started off as a normal human. For sure the guy was already the most powerful human as he was born. I do not see it any other way. But I'm convinced the soul sharing ability empowered him to become literally a god. As for the rest of your post well. Modern Humans are just empty shells, not the humans as they're meant to be. We only stay with the powerful elite and pure quincies in the story but think of all the fodder and weak ones there exist. The soldats' might just be regular humans getting a piece of Yhwach he started to create after he woken up during the first Auswhalen who killed Masaki. We could chat more about this, and how humans can become shinigami, but I think we have the information laid there and all this I think it's just goes into the "asking tite to explain details he doesn't want to" territory.
Nah, it's more likely an alteration of the name : Adonai. Another name of God in the Judeo Christian religions. Adnyeus, in some subs: Adonaeus.

Using Qualkreis is also a callback to the first fight between Ichigo and Yhwach because Qualkreis was the final move Yhwach had used to incapacitate Ichigo before calling him his son.
So here's my thought. The darkness that the soul king needed to keep at bay was whatever is currently sealed in hell. The soul king made the 3 realms to keep hell at bay. Which I think is why sining souls go to hell and people at a certain level of strength go there as well. A system that is built to over time weed out the bad souls and people who are trying to attain power.
I want to see a actual demonstration of the effects of sankt zwinger because every time it’s been used it’s been avoided and or destroyed are they really that scared to step into the technique?
Everything is going to come full circle Aizen wasn't doing everything that he did only to fell it's a extremely larger picture here even though the Manga distorts any ending of bleach the battle between Isshin and the white hollow and Masaki Kurosaki coming in to save the day has a deeper story line then it appears also Aizen and the crew where there in the shadows watching things unfold 🤷🏾♂️ that episode has always kept me on my toes what was Aizens motives for everything, what did he see and know then, he wasn't defeated by death they sealed his powers and imprisoned him, oh so they thought because he freed himself to join the fight 🤷🏾♂️
My only real question is where Hell plays into all this, cause from what I've heard so far (I don't know everything) strong reapers like Yamamoto go to hell after their death/release, which feels like a break from that system in a way, since there is no recycling there. Right now it only speaks of 3 worlds, but how does hell play a role in it, is it separate? Idk if it'll be explained here, but if we get the hell arc I guess that'll go over it more.
its interesting people like Kisuke and Ichibei are like Mimihagi who want to keep the world stagnant while people like Yhwach and Aizen want to change the world like Pernida
Bleach simply reflects how people really are. Some people just completely reject the idea of changing anything, whereas others want change of everything. It's simplest the theory of Yin and Yang
Ichibay says in his incantation to yhwach you will never be are sacrificing again so I believe ichibay has killed yhwach on many occasions but he always comes back thanks to the almighty. Which would explain how he is the father of all Quincy yet he is only 200 years old when he met jugo and that’s why ichibay gave up pernida to seal the almighty because he had gotten tired of yh coming back to life. But yh went to attack the soul society anyway but without jugo or the sternriter around at the time, now the reason I think that is because this was part of yhwach’s plan to die and come back with the almighty that’s why he smiled when he was defeated by yama. But how did he resurrect without the almighty, jugo was at the lit Riki waiting for yhwach to die causing the balance to shift massively along with his army’s death mean jugo could uses the balence to resurrect yh over 999 years and also put the lit Riki in the shadow of the serita.
Yessss!! That’s what I am thinking about the whole day bleach blew my mind I realized that Yhwach is not even evil nor is the zero squad at least is Aizen evil but like you said it’s nigh impossible to tell which side is better to protect. It’s very very tragic and deep most people and myself can’t even comprehend. Ichigo was not manipulated he just got the Quincy blood in him there’s is so much more you can think about it the whole day and still not come to a conclusion the world is really messed up in bleach and the question is why did the soul king bring death to the world and seperates the world ? Ichigo and the others are in a very bad position like trapped in a broken world. But when the soul king saw everything maybe there is a good reason bleach Is the craziest written anime out there. I wish more people were smart like you to comprehend just a little bit how Tragic Bleach rlly is.
I would say it’s better to protect the 3 Worlds as they are now. From the way it is described it seems the Primordial Era was the broken world. We already know all the reasons why the Soul King separated the Primordial World if you have read the manga and light novels.
I'm just confused about 1 thing. Yhwach claims the SK saw 1000 years into the future and foresaw the tragedy of the Quincies (referring to the war with the OG gotei) and he still chose to abandon them. This implies that the split of the worlds happened around 2000 years ago, meaning 1000 years before the first war, but this doesn't make sense. We know thanks to the databooks and the novel that the SS is around 1 million years old so the correct statement should have been "He saw hundreds of thousands of years into the future and foresaw the tragedy of the quincies". I wonder if I'm just misinterpreting the statement or if there was a translation error.
You’re interpretation is the correct one. Or rather, should be unless the timeline now suddenly shifted. Maybe the translation should have been “thousands of years”?
@@kitano8025 Even with Mimihagi’s lore which was explained in the manga itself, it was said to be a divine entity that fell from the heavens eons ago. So you’re definitely right, probably a translation error.
I consider it a mistake to let GetsugaJujisho keep shining behind Ichigo for longer time when Ichigo was looking down on Yuhabaha. It should have been shown like it is going far away so it is starting to look smaller. But it was looking like it is still at one place.
15:13 at the same time Ichigo is from the house who genuinely wanted the best for the souls in the universe in general which in a way could’ve saved adenyus from his life of eternal stagnation
Will Yuhabaha's Auswahlen work on Ryuken Ishida and Soken Ishida? I guess it may work when Yuhabaha uses Auswahlen while his almighty is active. But normally it may not work. Otherwise Ryuken would have also lost quincy powers when Yuhabaha decided to do Auswahlen when he was fighting Ichibei Hyosube.
We saw Yhwach as a baby-Is it possible that Ichibei turned him into a blank slate to send him into the new world? Stripping him of everything he had, senses, name, age, identity where he forged it all over again?
Think about this guys, old man Zangetsu didn’t eat Ichigo to die. He didn’t want ichigo to suffer. Yhwach doesn’t want to die either. He wants to get rid of the cycle of death. If old man Zangetsu is Yhwach right? But as a Part of Ichigo. Like other Quincy’s. So what if Old man Zangetsu all along was still the driving force of the Quincy King. The will of the Quincy to reject the Soul King and Reject death.
Is the garganta the primordial sea or is the primordial sea somewhere else and the current realms that we know about such as the WOL, Hecco, SS, Hell, valley of screams, dangai and garganta all were created from the primordial sea? Are the realms that we know about a results of the creation of the three main realms? Meaning, he created the 3 worlds from the primordial sea and therefore indirectly created dangai, valley of screams, hell, garganta 🤷♂️
I think yhwach was not physically present during the original sin, he could rather sense the events due being the offspring of the soul king, then after the splitting of worlds, his soul was put into the life and death cycle, where he would be born 1200+ years prior to main story
The anime original content was downright best.Tbh I would say the fight animation was better in ep 7 but overall animation this ep has is better than that of ep 7 and visuals of this ep was really too good. They really improved.
Why does he have to destroy all three realms or should I say the current system? Why not just carve out a realm only for Quincy where no hollow can enter? They don't need to disturb the way of the functioning of Soul Society. Just keep your ideals away. Make Quincy specific realm which should be accessible only to Quincy.
I think you made a mistake. Shiba clan did not betray soul king, the Shiba clan wanted to sacrifice themselves in place of the Soul King. Read Can't Fear your own world
Ichibei said at his visit....we give U this realm and let us shinigami handle the the cycle of souls. Yhwach is not this cruel and conquering man we all thought he is. He is the son of Adenyeus and wants to bring to fall a unfair system made by the soul reapers. It never felt more false to being team Itchigo😢
During the flash back his eyes looks more compassionate too, so perhaps he becomes this twisted after he lost his eyes and the war with gotei 13, absorbing the torment of quincies for the last 1.000 just break him with anger.
First of tell me why fullbringers are born with fragment of soul king? If mother was attacked by hollow, child will have fullbringer ability. Does that mean everybody whose mother was attacked by a hollow will be born with fullbringer ability? But then how it connects to soul king fragment? It can't seriously mean that every hollow is a fragment of Soul King or Every child who takes birth after his/her mother was attacked by hollow gets a fragment of Soul King.😒. Sorry ridiculously unbelievable. This way Soul King will run out of fragments😂 and there will be no fullbringer after a limit. Where this soul king fragment comes into play when origin of fullbringer ability is mother getting attacked by a hollow before pregnancy? I don't understand. Please explain.
If Hueco Mundo is as old as Soul Society and The world of the living, then I wonder why hollows failed to evolve stronger as some of the strongest quincies and Soul Reapers. There should be some hollows on par with Yamamoto and royal guard quincies. Instead hollows should be stronger. Because when a stronger hollow meets comparatively weaker one, then most probably battle happens and after stronger one's victory, stronger hollow consumes weaker one. I don't think Vasto Lorde hollows are free from this. Or are they? There is no law in Hueco Mundo. It is a lawless wild realm. So scope of evolution is very high in Hueco Mundo in compare to lawful societies of Soul Society and The world of the living. I wonder if Soul Reaper kept interferimg with hollows dangerous evolution and kept killing strong Vasto Lorde hollows before they become too strong to deal with.
It's really not complicated when you understand that this is just copied from the Bible, and Juha is just evil Jesus & the Soul King is Kubo's depiction of GOD.
you went from whining about stiff animation and now that you get beautiful action animation you're calling it "average" 😭 🙏 it was definitely inconcistent since it kept switching from character animation to action animation but I'm definitely lead to believe you're just trolling atp lol
I mean I kinda get it what you mean...with a title like bleach and the present day modern animation we definitely expect more..but it's actually way better than cour 2 so I'll just look at the positive side of it
The animation was definitely good, saying that it was average at best is just blatantly wrong. What you are basically saying with your comment is that anything even a little bit below this level of animation is automatically below average or outright bad, since you are even struggling to call this episode average In terms of animation, which is absolutely absurd statement. If any episode can even be called average in terms of animation it would be the first episode of this part and even then it was still significantly above average.
I think the reason so much of Bleach goes over people's heads, even fans, is that it is too subtle for most people. Because it's worldbuilding isn't in your face, like say One Piece, Bleach ends up getting a lot of underserved flak. I'm so happy that the TYBW anime is changing so many opinions. My money for headache medicine certainly thanks Pierrot and Kubo for reducing the amount of arguments I've had.
Absolutely agreed
That’s cool but What do you mean by One Piece’s world building is in your face. What does that even mean and then explain how is that even a negative.
That’s all cool but One Piece isn’t in readers face with world building as you put it, Oda does visual storytelling to show the readers what they need to see to get good understanding, then what then everything else Oda shows by dialogue of characters, through the unique cultures of each island Strawhats visit, and the reader we only know as much as the Strawhats would.
Unlike Bleach the story of One Piece is an adventure story so good and well detailed world building is MASSIVE part that plays into One Piece’s plot. Oda is subtle with parts with his world building or lore building, giving enough to keep the reader interested and later revealing what he building up in later Arcs which sometimes happens hundreds of chapters later on in One Piece.
@@JackWitt-g9p man facts
I think Adnyeus waiting millennia for someone like Ichigo to kill him to end his suffering actually makes a lot of sense because he has foreseen that future due to becoming bound by obligation to be the lynchpin of the soul society, and due to being able to see that far ahead into the future, he willingly lets himself be cut down because his prolonged suffering has made his existence a living hell trapped inside of that crystal seal. I think his face captures that perfectly despite being unable to emote or do much of anything, but you can feel the sadness emanating from him as he dies
Nice interpretation, I'll add that I think you have already seen his suffering in the episode Ichigo is doing that training. I think that Ichigo understood it in that moment.
That may be true, but before that I think it was clear that somewhere along the way he communicated all of this through the sternritter, aka Gremmy, because through him he was able to perceive just how wrong everything was through his imagination via his brain, and that way we were kind of able to interpret it as this overwhelming resentment for having been forced to become the balance of the 3 worlds
*a million years, 1k years ago they had the war, 2k years ago yama was young
This episode blew the door off the hinges!!! Honestly, *Bleach* has always been a series where deep lore and power structures operate on a razor-thin edge of morality, but Episode 28? It transcends expectations. Yhwach's revelation about Adanas, his literal father and the Soul King, flips our entire understanding of the world upside down. This isn't just "good vs. evil" anymore-this is a battle for cosmic justice against a deeply flawed system. The Soul Reapers might be keeping order, but it's clear that order comes at an unspeakable cost. Ichigo's struggle is no longer about protecting a broken world-it's about deciding which world deserves to survive. It's poetic, tragic, and thrilling all at once.

What I liked most about the episode, besides the excellent extended battle between Ichigo and Yhwach, is the depth of Yhwach's development and how he is made into a better villain than in the manga. Instead of wanting to return everything to the primordial world to remove the fear of death, here he seeks to create a world for the Quincys to be accepted, something that is not the case in the current world and to rub salt in the wound, Adnyeus knew that this would happen and still chose to act as expected, which understandably increases Yhwach's hatred for his father to he act the way we are now seeing.
I mean the only reason the Quincy aren’t able to truly thrive in this world is because of the Soul Reapers and the oppression have enforced on the Quincy. All Yhwach really has to is get rid off the Soul Society as it is and recreate it. The destruction of all 3 realms is just too much.
Maybe that’s why Ichigo represents the ideal solution to the systematic problems that come with each villain’s vision of the system or “fate” itself. Because Ichigo is literally a hybrid of all the races in the Bleach universe, he’s in this unique position where he isn’t bound by a single vision on how fate should be constructed because he wants to protect everyone, that includes all the worlds and races. And most importantly Ichigo’s the kind of person to want to find harmony amongst the different opposing worlds rather than placing one over the other.
It was a very good decision to tease the silver arrow earlier on. As well as Isshin, Ryuken and Ukitake‘s (hopefully) larger role in this season. While 2 will finally take action one is going to leave us
Everything between Ichigo and Yhwach made this a 10/10 👍already.
Now I definitely think ichibei had something to do with the pitch black infant version of yhwach. Maybe thats ichibei way reincarnating yhwach and erasing his memory. and the craziest part is maybe yhwach was reincarnated by ichibei on multiple occasions. Its why ichibei in the 1000 year flashback goes to meet yhwach in person he trying to make sure yhwach doesn't remember his true past. Also it would probably explain why yhwach after the war chose to hide inside the soul society, cuz know one would think of something that crazy.
Thanks for the best reviews without any spoilers
I always had a theory that yhwach did exist in the primordial world, he or the soul king turned him back into a baby, maybe the reason yhwach did not age was because the soul king used mimihagi power of stagnation to stop his growth, and the only way for him to age and get back to his adult form was to take the souls and life force of the people who touched him, as in the manga, I think jugram said the baby knew he would survive, so even as a baby he still had his intelligence, so for almost a million years, yhwach suffered alone, that is kind off tragic, that is just my theory
A interesting thing about ichigo vs yhwach in the start is its the complete opposite of their 1st fight in cour 1. But also an interesting detail ive heard people bring up, is that yhwach shut off almighty and chose to fight in base, to trigger ichigo quincy reiatsu again, so that way he can control him better to do his bidding against the soul king. Similar to when ichigo encountered quilge opie reiatsu.
Yup totally agreed on Uruhara's part. Remember when Hiyori's comment on him, that she hates the part "for the greater good of SS" side from him and sending Ichigo and his team albeit knowing they couldn't do nothing except maybe delaying a little bit
I have a theory. What if Ichibei intended to replace the Reio with Yhwach 1,000 years ago? What if Yhwach knows about the Irazusando because he faced the same trial? What if thats how he acquired the Almighty and that also is why Ichigo's eyes changed because Adneyus gifted Ichigo the Almighty, the same as he didnfo Yhwach 1,000 years ago? Instead of siding with the Shinigami, Yhwach waged war.
14:06 We simply don't know the Soul King's motivations. Its possible he had some plan for the Quincies, and some place in the world, but that got lost once he was sealed away.
The Light Novels need to be read here, the Soul King didn't willfully allow this "imprisonment", but rather he was cut up and sealed there by the five original Noble Clans, I do believe, my memory isn't so great on the facts but I think this is how it happened. But I guess you could say he allowed it as his powers allowed him to like Ywacha he could see the future and not just moments into the future but thousand years into. If you consider all the powers that his body parts have individually, he possessed all of them and more when he was whole.
It was such a cool detail by the animators to make Yhwach use the almighty at 9 minutes and 9 seconds on the episode
The Manga ending we got was rushed. Tite Kubo is giving us all the real ending he wanted in the Anime! I have watched Cour 1 at least 10xs already, watched Cour 2 about 5xs. We are just 2 episodes into Cour 3 and it has been AMAZING. Cant wait to see Aizen get released.

What were you expecting?
@@duanegarrett4900well several ppl hyped the animation of ep to be closer to yama vs yhwach level. Which might have had ppl expectations too high.
@@vaidikchauhan4382 which do you think was animated better?
Is it me or when Orihime healed Ichigo, Yuha’s Almighty was surprised ? Was he not able to see that ? What's your opinion on this ?
One thing I completely forgot (and I think a lot of us may have as well), is that Yhwach isn’t Yhwach’s original name. He mereley gave himself that name.
In the manga when we learn about the baby who was blind and couldn’t move (Yhwach’s origin in the human world), we’re told that the child was worshipped as a God and that he took on the name of the God that the people prayed to. Since we now know that he is in fact from the primordial world and was reborn into the human world after reality was split by the Soul King, it begs the question what his original name was. It also begs the question why he wouldn’t use his original name, given the fact that he knows his father’s real name. Maybe he doesn’t want to use it as an act of defiance since he hates his father? Or his name was taken from him due to being reborn in the human world? It wouldn’t surprise me if Ichibei somehow erased his original name. Thoughts?
That's a very good point! Perhaps he's protecting his real name so no one can use it to gain power over him. I would expect that Ichibe would know Yhwach's real original name, unless the Soul King himself prevented it.
@@megalictis9002 I could definitely see that happening. Given the importance of names it wouldn’t surprise me if his original name was sealed for whatever reason. I dare say that the Soul King’s name was sealed (or possibly erased) too, given what happened to him. Regardless, Ichibei likely has something to do with it in both Yhwach’s and Soul King’s case.
perhaps he's a reincarnation or adenyus himself
@@roywempor8395 That's what most of us kind of leaned into however with the latest episode it seems that both of them not only co-existed during the primordial era, but also that Adnyeus was put into his "eternal coma" after yhwach was reborn in the human world once the triplet world was performed. He can't be Adnyeus' reincarnation. At the very least not in the true sense of the word.
Ichibe doesn't know Yuha real name, otherwise he would have used it
Bleach lore never ceases to amaze me. Even that of One Piece didn't make feel quite the same way.
How so exactly?
I like this. If this is true, then that’s what ywhach is gonna see when he’s defeated by ichigo at the end I believe. He’s gonna see the vision that adnyeus had of ichigo really being the one to change the soul society for the better, and that will complete his understanding
He did see it. He just thought it was a dream. Jugram hid something from Yhwach’s vision…
@@alexmartin3143🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
I dunno why everyone seems to miss this, but Yhwach says that Adnyeus saw a darkness that was threatening the primordial world. I think it's hell, as we know it exists and seemingly is outside of the cycle created by the primordial sin. I believe, the creation of the 3 worlds, was all but a mere effort to try and hold back hell
At the time of he separation of the worlds (according to CFYOW) Hell existed, but was just an empty pit, and the primordial ancestor of the unnamed fifth Noble House wanted to put a cover on it. It exists outside of the three worlds created by the separation of the primordial world into three, but since that event also separated the states of life and death Hell did not yet have a function. Since the separation of the primordial world created the need for a balance of souls, Hell had no impact on that balance before it existed.
@@megalictis9002Don't know about that, if it's just an empty pit with nothing substantial, why do one of the Noble Family wants to cover it? Just randomly wake up one day after a conspiracy meeting and decided 'Fuck that one hole in particular'?
@@jordanjames3194 🤣"Yes, just THAT one! Don't pretend you don't know which one! The BAD one!"
The story doesn't specify the reason. Possibly the hole was impressively deep and s/he considered it a falling hazard? A general fear of heights? Concern about the insurance liability?
@@megalictis9002 hell is never described as empty in cfyow
maybe it was all to lead to the birth of people string enough to combat the darkness
Dude, if this episode was insane? Just wait, the big battle is going to be UNREAL!! TYBW has just been phenomenal all the way around, simply perfection.
been browsing some theories and I found the zaniest one.
Ichibe was complicit to Ywach Ichigo killing the Soul King since Ichibei wants to free his best friend Adyneus.
Since as they explained Cfow alluded that Ichibe is like best buddies with Adyneus.
its like the wierdest theory that paints Ichibe in a better light but it would be funny if this is somehow true. In any case he will still end up using Ichigo as the keystone replacement so Ichibei is still sus at the end of the day.
I think the creation of the Quincy began when he was put into the cycle of rebirth and everyone who touched him and took his power/healing became the very first Quincy which is why he says he's the father of the Quincy
At first, I thought his eyes were the cross-shaped part, but it looks more like Yhwach's Almighty, but further evolved with 4 pupils in each eye.
can't believe Yhwach was turned into Aizen with him saying that Ichigo's existence was all part of his plan 🤣 Next thing you know we will have the king of hell being like your existence was all part of plan Ichigo Aswell🤣
It was not his plan though. That was just the future set in stone
@@rohanmanuel1815 that's just semantics Yhwach knew a hybrid being similar to Adnyeus would be born into the world, that being Ichigo, and used Ichigo as a part of plan to kill Adnyeus . I wouldn't be surprised if Yhwach used the Almighty to craft the current time where Ichigo exists in the world.
@@rohanmanuel1815 he just means it has the same energy
I am wondering if the Hell Arc of Bleach is trying to imply something more about the Quincies and their role in the cosmology of Bleach. Shinigami are balancers, they enable pluses to move on and also purify hollows so that their Reishi can go on to join the natural cycle of death and rebirth.
Quincies disrupt this cycle causing an imbalance of souls and Reishi in the worlds. So what if the true purpose of Quincies was to keep the souls of hell in balance with the seiretei, hueco mundo and the realm of the living by destroying any and all powerful souls from entering hell thereby denying hell from spilling out into the other realms. We know that Quincies abilities disrupt the Reishi of shinigami from rejoining the cycle of death and rebirth, but does that ability only apply to hollows, or is it universal to souls in the world of bleach?
Now that Quincies are endangered species again, Hell no longer has any natural predators.
In my head i see it this way:
- Shinigami maintain an equilibrium of Reishi in all worlds and uphold the status quo.
- human souls and hollows are the sum total of all Reishi that the system of death and rebirth can maintain, when there is an imbalance of one. (They're the natural predators of Hollows).
- Quincies are meant to be a failsafe for when that system fails, if Hollows become too powerful, they can remove that Reishi and allow the cycle to reach a steady point of equilibrium again.
- Hollows ensure that the balance of Reishi is always kept in check because restless souls will always become Hollows, if there are no hollows or too many, the system becomes inbalanced.
- Finally, if what I said about Quincy abilities erasing Reishi from the cycle then i must be right about the Hell Arc!
Quincies are the true balancers of the Bleach cosmology. We know that the purification ritual doesn't work on extremely powerful Shinigami like Yamamoto and that only the most evil souls get sent to hell. So the only way for Hell to remain in balance is if the Quincy are meant to erase their Reishi.
Hollows are the natural predators of the Quincy.
Shinigami are the natural predators of Hollows.
Fullbrings are a spiritually transmitted virus, and can be used to indicate if the balance of Reishi is stable or not. Or maybe theyre an indicator of the Soul Kings will and influence in the world [honestly idk how they fit in with my theory].
Quincies are (or atleast should be) the natural weakness of extremely powerful entities. Powerful enough to erase Reishi, but not so much that they themselves couldn't be stopped.

Good fight seen it to
Regarding the Soul King’s motivation, I think he was benevolent and a good guy so to speak. As per CFYOW, the Soul King was the one who protected humans from hollows in the primordial world. Though inadvertently, him doing so is also what led to the shinigami’s paranoia and the separation of the worlds.
Yhwach also mentioned in episode 28 that the Soul King had the power to keep a certain darkness at bay. What could it be? Surely it wasn’t the hollows. I think the “darkness” has something to do with whatever is in the hell world.
Putting everything we know together, my theory is this:
Soul King was protecting humans by destroying hollows. However, this created too much chaos and the shinigami ancestors came up with splitting the world in three as a solution. Plus the original sin so they could keep power. However because of the Almighty the Soul King knew he would be betrayed but more importantly, he knew that the only way to keep the humans safe from hollows was separating the worlds. He also knew that in the far future a man would be born with the essence of every race. That man would unite or at the very least usher in a change into the systems that would bring tranquility for all. That man would also have the power to defeat or keep “the darkness” (hell boss) at bay in the Soul King’s stead.
In short, I believe the Soul King had looked into the far future and entrusted Ichigo to protect the world he created and everyone in it.
amazing video
That name "Adnyeus" it sounds Grecian, could the Soul King's myth originate from the Aegean world?
Peak fiction loved it
In the eyes of the soul king in the first you can see future scenes from his point of view, like ichibei defeat.
I always took Pernida's line to Mayuri 'Pernida has always been a Quincy' as refering the Soul King, Adonaeus as we now know him, to be a Quincy to begin with. The so called King of Souls, the King of the Shinigami, being a Quincy is a fantastic thing.
Now that implicatiion of what a Quincy is and what WE know and/or witnessed in the story Quincies are, I believe is heavily implied to be different things. I'll explain my views, them being a mix of speculation, theorizing and my understanding of the Bleach universe as a whole however big or small that is, I'll let that to you or others to judge. And I apologize in advance for this bible I'm about to write.
To start, another line that has always stuck in me was Yhwach refering to the Almighty as "The eyes of a True Quincy". So that's the difference being written in manga panels by Tite Kubo that Quincies as the characters we know and Quincy as a form of existance are two different things, and I believe this is what Yhwach and Adonaius are: True Quincies, and that's how Pernida's line makes sense to me.
I imagine, in the primordial world, there existed humans first, then hollows, as we were told in the CFYOW, and those humans, those who gained powers, are the True Quincies. I imagine them being able to tap into the power of the world, and that's also how Yhwach's statement to Ichibee "Everything in the World is mine for the taking" makes sense, when he negates Ichibee's debuffing abilities. Maybe even some had two eyed pupils, maybe some had 3, which I don't believe to be the case, but I do believe some had the power to at least see the future, the 2 pupil version of what we know as the Almighty- for I believe the humans and hollows interchanged places in the food chain for millenia and they kept evolving and growing in power in response to one another as the World wished them to.
Then the hollows reaching their peak, that Original ultimate Menos, and the food chain stagnated. And then it came Adonaeus. A True Quincy (a human being from the eternal world, which is what I understand as a True Quincy) with four pupil eyes, and his capability to tap into the powers of the world were as we were described, nigh omnipotent. I don't know if Yhwach was his true born son or not, I believe what we saw was a metaphor, maybe he is a reincarnation of his son, and it was implied in the new scene with Ichibee when he visits the human world and seals the Almighty with the left arm, that the monk showed what it happened.
Now, I believe Adonaeus 'reign' over the Eternalworld was everlasting, let's put it in millenia, but I don't think the chaos among human and hollow stopped. I believe it kept going but this time the humans were always on top. And I believe is during this time that the beings who were to become the Shinigami started to be born. Beings with incredible power, more so than any other "True Quincy" except Adonaeus, but this time they didn't have the capability to tap into the power of the world, but they held absolute power over one single aspect of the world. This is what I believe explaines the 'origins' of the Zanpakuto abilities and the innate ability Ichibee has over the concept of names, given we know he's a being born before the split of the world, and his power over names seems to be absolute, so absolute that he could take Adonaeus name off and rename him Reio, to serve the purpose of the founders (Which we also know it's canon). So these beings with absolute powers over a single power, became the new ruling class over the many humans, very powerful humans, who had access to the power of the world in a more wide sense and unspecific way, and this is what I believe explains why the Quincies lack special abilities but root their power in the gathering of Reishi -I'm not ignoring the schrifts but that's a whole other can of worms, as well as the how the "special Quincies who can't gather reishi but empower others work", so I'll leave it at that since deviates from the point I'm arguing on this post.
That's it's my take into the difference between Quincy as we know it, and Quincy, refering to Yhwach and Adonaeus and how the soul king is indeed, a Quincy. And Yhwach as the only true Quincy, being either Adonaeus actual biological son (as in Adonaeus having actuallly conceiving him with a woman) or his heir in a more conceptual sense, like a reincarnation of that boy, or a left over of Adonaeus power that after the ritual took form and/or took host on a soul and were born into the human world a million years later, for me, is just details Ill let the author to enlighten us about and confirm which is true (or if non) if he fancies, but I don't think we actually need every single detail, it's not Kubo's style.
With all of this, my conclusion is, Yhwach is a true Quincy, a being born into the split world that actually belongs to the Eternal World, and as such, he's both the son (whatever it means) of Adonaeus, as well as the Father of the Quincy. Because as he set his crusade, and learned how his powers works, he used them to bring back the Humans with spiritual superpowers that were never meant to be taken off the table, and he created the Quincies as the resurgement of those ancient powered humans who could tap into the powers of the world.
This is very interesting. I think you’re definitely on to something. To add on, the only ones who we see with “unusual” eyes are Yhwach, Pernida, Mimihagi and Soul King himself. All essentially primordial beings.
At the very least, Yhwach’s statement of “these eyes are the proof of a true quincy” would imply that the Almighty eyes aren’t unique to just him and the Soul King. Rather, it seems to imply that they could be awakened by others. For example look at Ichigo. While he doesn’t necessarily have multiple pupils (outside of that one moment when he was in Irazusando), he is seeing visions of the past and future. I believe the opening of episode 28 is a vision that Ichigo is seeing and by the end he is seeing his defeat by Ywhach which also happens during the episode.
As for the Soul King, I think he contained the essence of True Quincy, shinigami, human and fullbring. He was basically everything except hollow. However I think he was unique in that he could resist hollows unlike modern day quincies. We saw with Yhwach after he absorbed Soul King he took Ichigo’s hollow power yet didn’t die from it. Anyways, he’s enigmatic figure and hopefully we’ll learn more about him as we go.
@@jakesully007 Yes I always took that line about the eyes as having a heavy implication that aren't unique to him and the Soul King.
I have at least tried to put myself in order my takes on how I believe the 'evolution' and how the 'races' came to be. I Don't believe everything comes from Adoneius, but I believe, with the Triplet World ritual he did set the rules or laws binded them. While Ichibee does say he was part 'everything', the way it's phrased is too specific, too concise and graphic of an explanation, that's not Kubo style. That's Narita trying to explain the concepts Kubo gave him for the novel and, in my opinion, failing- finding the Kubo Tite into Ryogo Narita's lines was a big hobby of mine during the long years of Bleach draught we had. Let me see if I can put this straight on how I see things and what you think about it.
First humans came to be. Just like us in our real world, no big mistery there, just adding the soul and spirit aspects into the juice. We were told the cycle of souls was indeed a thing in this eternal world, so, while a 'someone' didn't die, their 'individualities' (egos) did still end to rise a new (ego). I'm keeping it vague because trying to grasp an idea of what the fuck Tite has in his mind about the Eternalworld's cycle of souls is a thick armoured glass ceiling I still don't know how to find the first crack. But it is a thing. I will refer to ending of an ego to become a new persona as life and death to not give you and myself, or anyone reading, a brain stroke. But what I believe it's just that. A transformation of sorts that kept the cycle of souls of this world moving and flowing without life and death. The closest I have to a theory about how this cycle worked is: Given how much Buddism influence tite puts into the manga, my mind rests on the simple thought of an Inmortal human from back then to just go back to the world, become a tree, an anival, a hive of bees, whatever, and then become human again as a new human, or even back to nature, after all, everything has a soul, and souls, as we know, are just part of the fabric of the universe instead of something godgiven, they can mute, they can fuse, they reside in thousands into a single being like in the case of Menos and Arrancars, etc.
Humans evolved, the flow made the world move, keeping it from stagnation, until the point reached were it stagnated, and hollows came to be. How did hollows came to be? Probably the same way we see them come to be in the present. Humans should have been at their current peak at this world, so their 'lives' (the timelapse they experienced as a singular human being) extended tenfold, possibly even more. I do not envision this humans having 'superpowers', other than a deep conection to the world that helped their lives thrive into this chaotic young world. The rubicon reached were they lived so long without returning to the world that the harmony they lived with transformed into order, and order is THE CRIME against the nature of this world. One human outlived his round as being a human so long that his soul erupted from within and became the first hollow. He was hungry, and started devouring spreading his kind. Probably more developed naturally just like him or her, but I don't think there's much more mystery than that.
Now this is what starts what I mentioned above about the period of the food chain swapping among the two races. The world found its way of ensuring the chaos never ended and stray way from order and stagnation. With this I believe the two evolutive lines emerge: The line of Humans and the line of Hollows. As we're told in the manga, the hollow hole is the result of the soul sleep manifesting outside the body and becomes the mask. This is how hollows gain their power. So hollows, were the first to manifest special abilities, and the only ones who can do it by virtue only of existing, everyone else needs a 'catalyst' -a schrift, a zanpakuto, a dear object -and with this powers they became the predators of the humans. The humans, who were attuned to the power of the world by this point, found a way to weaponize it, undoubtedly by virtue of the world lending them more power so the balance shifted again. I believe the 'True Quincies' are the evoluition of humans and their end game was Adoneus after millions of years of balance shifting, progressing and regressing between and hollows.
Between the first hollow and Adenaous, however, there should have existed a hundred shades of grays and checkpoints during that evolution. Quincies who were in nature like Haschwalth, unable to tap into the power of the world but wielders of great power that influenced and empowered those arround them fit into another step in the evolution. Eventually, those Quincies were the ones who opened the second eye, because we know Yhwach calls Haschwalth as "someone like me who can't use reishi" But we do see Yhwach using it at ease, so that awakening can unlock the tapping into the powers of the world for them. The hollow counterpart to these are the menos.
When Adonaeus faced the Omega Menos (to give it a name) and destroyed it, we are pointed out, that unlike previous instances where the world stagnated, this time it stagnated completely. The hollows lost the evolution race. We're told by Urahara than the counterpart of a Human is a Hollow, and the counterpart of a Quincy is a Shinigami. So what I believe it happened, as the world slowed down and the balance was tipped too much into the humans favour, the world rejected the hollows, and humans with the capability hollows have, that of having an special ability, came to be born from either the womb of a human (or maybe even from the womb of a hollow, given Kubo confirmed they can reproduce sexually just as Humans and Shinigami are able to), or perhaps also while some hollows (probably very powerful Menos just not as much as the Omega one) regaining their hearts and and humanize themselves back again into an indistinguishable but slightly different being than those Humans/True Quincies. This is supported by Aizen statement that Hollow and Shinigami are opposite (emphasis in the word opposite instead of the word counterpart) sides of the same coin and the only possible path for evolution beyond a thereshold is the breaking of that boundary.
How does fullbring and Adoneous 'having all 5 power sources' into all of this? This is the item where I have absolute certainty I'm spot on and not just a bunch of ideas that came into my mind just because I love inquiring into the creative minds behind the fictional stories I love the most. I'm convinced this is the case and I hope you can agree with me: We tend to focus too much into the Almighty and the mistery those eyes held on them, and with fair reason, they're a fascinating piece of fictional power source, but we often overlook Yhwach's basic ability which is the power to split his soul and share it with others. And we have solid proof in the Bleach manga, that this is Adoneous basic innate ability as well, and not the Almighty, which is probably the power he developed as he reached into the Godlike being he came to be, and this was probably thanks to his soul sharing ability. I believe The Almighty is the ultimate form of 'The eyes of a True Quincy' who could be unlocked and developed into becoming basically God, thanks to the Soul Split/Sharing abiliy. That's how Adoneous has into his soul the powers of all races.
As for the fullbring, it's not like 'Fullbring' is a race, a Fullbring is just a human having gained spiritual powers. But they do have an uniqueness, they have special abilities but can also tap into the power of the world, and in a way no other race can: by influencing the souls of things. This is also a thing I feel I'm spot on: A fullbring is born when a fragment of the soul king (a sliver of his soul) residing in a gestating human being's soul is influenced by hollow reiatsu: if we go with my thesis of the two evoltive lines having a specific characteristic The power of the evolutive line of humans and that of the evolutive line of Hollows MIX and gives birth to this weird hybrid that fullbring powers in nature are. They're not big game players into the bleach cosmolgy at simple glance, but why would Yhwach mention it to Ichigo as part of the grand scheme of things as something he needed? For me the answer is the most simple among all this post. To 'Kill the King' (pun intended) you need all the powers Adoneous holds into his soul (Human, Hollow, Quincy, Shinigami) AS WELL as a piece of his soul (Fullbring). Yhwach by virtue of all the deaths during the invasion on the Sereitei probably holds a big chunk of Shinigami souls into his by now, I won't argue if he has some hollow as well because we don't know if he's actually inmune or not to hollows like regular 'splitworld' born Quincies he created. But all that is irrelevant, Yhwach lacks the most important aspect: A piece of Adonaeus on his soul.
I apologize if there was any grotesque/rough sentences or spelling errors I missed to spot. English is not my native language.
@@SilenceRed This was a fascinating break down! I think your “evolution theory” (if I may phrase it like that) is very plausible given everything we know and definitely paints a richer picture of Bleach’s creation history.
A few things to consider though:
1. The manga does in fact explicitly describe Hollows as the opposite of humans and Shinigami as the opposite of Quincies. Urahara explains it when he breaks down how the vaccine would help save Masaki.
2. Kubo said that Shinigami and humans normally can’t reproduce and that only Urahara knows of a method to accomplish this.
3. I think you’re right that Adnyeus has the same ability as Yhwach to share his soul and over time he gained the essence of others, at the same time I’m not sure that’s how he became the divine being he was. Rather, with current information as per CFYOW, he was described as randomly having emerged at some point (as though he himself was willed into existence) with all of his power and abilities from the get go. The story never so much as hints at that he grew into power if you will.
Some food for thought:
Using your evolution theory and the facts laid out in the manga it brings up another interesting point: Humans, specifically modern day humans, have the potential to evolve into shinigami or hollow. For example if a human dies he either becomes a hollow or goes to soul society in the rukongai. But the story established that those in the rukongai aren’t necessarily shinigami. Which by the way brings up another point: how do shinigami actually come to be (aside from being born from a woman)? The manga never explains how normal souls can become shinigami. What exactly happens in that process? Anyways back to humans and their evolution tree. As far as we know, there hasn’t been a single case of a normal human who evolved into a Quincy. It seems as far as Quincies go, a human cannot just evolve into one like hollow or shinigami. Rather, a human has to be born as a Quincy from the get go. Which makes them even more unique.
That said, it seems Yhwach (and I would imagine Adnyeus as well) could in fact turn anyone into a Quincy if he wanted, or at least allow them to use the powers of a Quincy. One bit of evidence for this is Ebern, the Arrancar that fought Ichigo at the start of the arc. He had Quincy powers. Another bit of evidence is that Kubo said in Klub Outside that Yhwach could bestow shrifts on Shinigami if he wanted to. Though in their case they might be more of a hybrid like Ebern. Especially also taken into consideration that Shinigami didn’t have zanpakutou before Ouetsu created them yet still could manifest powers.
@@jakesully007 Ill try to be shorter this time!
1- I used the words counterpart and opposite not to quote a the exact words on the manga, but the meaning is the sense, even if official translations use 'opposite' (I'd have to double check this) in both instances. Japanese has so many synonims for the same word where the actual meaning is held on the Kanji so sadly, the loosing of many nuances it's helplessly lose to translation to us even if the translator is amazing. In any case, by context of both scenes we can tell even if the same word were to be used, the implications are different. Why? Because in Aizen's speach he describes how that 'opposite' existance are sides of a coin they can melt breaking a boundary, and in the second Instance Urahara speaks about 'opposites' with the meaning of 'cancelling each other out'.
2. Yes but they can reproduce sexually with another member of their race just fine. I mentioned to point out even if it's counterintuitive to us, hollows can reproduce sexually. We don't see them with sexual organs in the manga but hey, it's a Shonen Jump manga. Just like some romcoms show the girls naked but with Barbie Doll Anatomies. And they can't reproduce in the modern splitworld, remember what I theorized about is the 'origins' of them in the Eteneral world. Shinigami were not even a thing, we can call them just Balancers, which I believe it's how this race were called in the Eternal world and the "they were called Balancers in the old days of Soul Society" can easily been just Ichibee keeping half the truths from the Shinigami society as we know he does.
3. The information we got from him in CFYOW is not the narrator but Ichibee words to some random young Royal Palace Citizens. As long as we don't actually contradict him directly (that being theorizing something which only way of making peace with that info is saying "The monk is lying") we can speculate. Narita said when promoting the novel 'I told Kubo-sensei the history of the Soul King was fascinating and he had to draw it some day'. I think he describing it so simple might have been him trying to tell as little as possible. But please do not take me saying 'He developed the 4 eyed almighty' as in he had a long progressing story where he started off as a normal human. For sure the guy was already the most powerful human as he was born. I do not see it any other way. But I'm convinced the soul sharing ability empowered him to become literally a god.
As for the rest of your post well. Modern Humans are just empty shells, not the humans as they're meant to be. We only stay with the powerful elite and pure quincies in the story but think of all the fodder and weak ones there exist. The soldats' might just be regular humans getting a piece of Yhwach he started to create after he woken up during the first Auswhalen who killed Masaki. We could chat more about this, and how humans can become shinigami, but I think we have the information laid there and all this I think it's just goes into the "asking tite to explain details he doesn't want to" territory.
but honestly speaking I'd be so hyped watching bleach if I didn't watch these recap videos for the manga smh I've learnt a hard lesson
In the eyes of the soul king in the first scene, you can see future scenes from his point of view, like ichibei defeat.
I thought they mentioned quincies before him though
5:18- Adnyeus- could be an alteration of the name Dyeus- the sky god of Proto-Indo-European myth, hinting of how old he truly is
Nah, it's more likely an alteration of the name : Adonai. Another name of God in the Judeo Christian religions. Adnyeus, in some subs: Adonaeus.
Using Qualkreis is also a callback to the first fight between Ichigo and Yhwach because Qualkreis was the final move Yhwach had used to incapacitate Ichigo before calling him his son.
This just means the rematch will be the same.
Ywach nerfing himself just like this fight.
This is a parallel of the Jesus story. He existed in heaven before he was born to Mary
So here's my thought. The darkness that the soul king needed to keep at bay was whatever is currently sealed in hell. The soul king made the 3 realms to keep hell at bay. Which I think is why sining souls go to hell and people at a certain level of strength go there as well. A system that is built to over time weed out the bad souls and people who are trying to attain power.
Yhwach / Zangetsu loves ichigo so much man
I want to see a actual demonstration of the effects of sankt zwinger because every time it’s been used it’s been avoided and or destroyed are they really that scared to step into the technique?
The shot with ichibei makes me kinda afraid of the future events that gonna happen. He was about to draw something on the ground but what is it ?
Insane episode
Everything is going to come full circle Aizen wasn't doing everything that he did only to fell it's a extremely larger picture here even though the Manga distorts any ending of bleach the battle between Isshin and the white hollow and Masaki Kurosaki coming in to save the day has a deeper story line then it appears also Aizen and the crew where there in the shadows watching things unfold 🤷🏾♂️ that episode has always kept me on my toes what was Aizens motives for everything, what did he see and know then, he wasn't defeated by death they sealed his powers and imprisoned him, oh so they thought because he freed himself to join the fight 🤷🏾♂️
Insane changes in this episode compared to the manga, completly rewrote those chapters
My only real question is where Hell plays into all this, cause from what I've heard so far (I don't know everything) strong reapers like Yamamoto go to hell after their death/release, which feels like a break from that system in a way, since there is no recycling there. Right now it only speaks of 3 worlds, but how does hell play a role in it, is it separate? Idk if it'll be explained here, but if we get the hell arc I guess that'll go over it more.
He’ll was there in the original world that’s all we know other than its opening because of yhwach death and too many strong souls going in
If I remember correct, the Shiba clan did not betray the Soul King, they were therefore rejected as a noble house by the other noble houses😊
They went along with it eventually but yeah. They weren’t on board at the start
its interesting people like Kisuke and Ichibei are like Mimihagi who want to keep the world stagnant while people like Yhwach and Aizen want to change the world like Pernida
Bleach simply reflects how people really are. Some people just completely reject the idea of changing anything, whereas others want change of everything. It's simplest the theory of Yin and Yang
Ichibay says in his incantation to yhwach you will never be are sacrificing again so I believe ichibay has killed yhwach on many occasions but he always comes back thanks to the almighty. Which would explain how he is the father of all Quincy yet he is only 200 years old when he met jugo and that’s why ichibay gave up pernida to seal the almighty because he had gotten tired of yh coming back to life. But yh went to attack the soul society anyway but without jugo or the sternriter around at the time, now the reason I think that is because this was part of yhwach’s plan to die and come back with the almighty that’s why he smiled when he was defeated by yama.
But how did he resurrect without the almighty, jugo was at the lit Riki waiting for yhwach to die causing the balance to shift massively along with his army’s death mean jugo could uses the balence to resurrect yh over 999 years and also put the lit Riki in the shadow of the serita.
Pleaae rebirth read the comments you give hearts for, you literally hearted that loser you blocked on twitter
Yessss!! That’s what I am thinking about the whole day bleach blew my mind I realized that Yhwach is not even evil nor is the zero squad at least is Aizen evil but like you said it’s nigh impossible to tell which side is better to protect.
It’s very very tragic and deep most people and myself can’t even comprehend. Ichigo was not manipulated he just got the Quincy blood in him there’s is so much more you can think about it the whole day and still not come to a conclusion the world is really messed up in bleach and the question is why did the soul king bring death to the world and seperates the world ? Ichigo and the others are in a very bad position like trapped in a broken world. But when the soul king saw everything maybe there is a good reason bleach Is the craziest written anime out there. I wish more people were smart like you to comprehend just a little bit how Tragic Bleach rlly is.
I would say it’s better to protect the 3 Worlds as they are now. From the way it is described it seems the Primordial Era was the broken world. We already know all the reasons why the Soul King separated the Primordial World if you have read the manga and light novels.
I'm just confused about 1 thing. Yhwach claims the SK saw 1000 years into the future and foresaw the tragedy of the Quincies (referring to the war with the OG gotei) and he still chose to abandon them. This implies that the split of the worlds happened around 2000 years ago, meaning 1000 years before the first war, but this doesn't make sense. We know thanks to the databooks and the novel that the SS is around 1 million years old so the correct statement should have been "He saw hundreds of thousands of years into the future and foresaw the tragedy of the quincies". I wonder if I'm just misinterpreting the statement or if there was a translation error.
You’re interpretation is the correct one. Or rather, should be unless the timeline now suddenly shifted. Maybe the translation should have been “thousands of years”?
@@jakesully007 that could be as well
@@kitano8025 Even with Mimihagi’s lore which was explained in the manga itself, it was said to be a divine entity that fell from the heavens eons ago. So you’re definitely right, probably a translation error.
I consider it a mistake to let GetsugaJujisho keep shining behind Ichigo for longer time when Ichigo was looking down on Yuhabaha. It should have been shown like it is going far away so it is starting to look smaller. But it was looking like it is still at one place.
Youre right
15:13 at the same time Ichigo is from the house who genuinely wanted the best for the souls in the universe in general which in a way could’ve saved adenyus from his life of eternal stagnation
Will Yuhabaha's Auswahlen work on Ryuken Ishida and Soken Ishida? I guess it may work when Yuhabaha uses Auswahlen while his almighty is active. But normally it may not work. Otherwise Ryuken would have also lost quincy powers when Yuhabaha decided to do Auswahlen when he was fighting Ichibei Hyosube.
We saw Yhwach as a baby-Is it possible that Ichibei turned him into a blank slate to send him into the new world? Stripping him of everything he had, senses, name, age, identity where he forged it all over again?
Think about this guys, old man Zangetsu didn’t eat Ichigo to die. He didn’t want ichigo to suffer. Yhwach doesn’t want to die either. He wants to get rid of the cycle of death. If old man Zangetsu is Yhwach right? But as a Part of Ichigo. Like other Quincy’s. So what if Old man Zangetsu all along was still the driving force of the Quincy King. The will of the Quincy to reject the Soul King and Reject death.
Who!?

Wait did ichigo see that he was going to take an L? At the end that frame is similar to the one from 2:10-2:15
Is the garganta the primordial sea or is the primordial sea somewhere else and the current realms that we know about such as the WOL, Hecco, SS, Hell, valley of screams, dangai and garganta all were created from the primordial sea? Are the realms that we know about a results of the creation of the three main realms? Meaning, he created the 3 worlds from the primordial sea and therefore indirectly created dangai, valley of screams, hell, garganta 🤷♂️
Hell is separate and existed alongside the primordial world. I think the garganta etc are by products of the creation of the three worlds

I think yhwach was not physically present during the original sin, he could rather sense the events due being the offspring of the soul king, then after the splitting of worlds, his soul was put into the life and death cycle, where he would be born 1200+ years prior to main story
The anime original content was downright best.Tbh I would say the fight animation was better in ep 7 but overall animation this ep has is better than that of ep 7 and visuals of this ep was really too good. They really improved.
This was better fight animated than 7
@@lolsnez7542 nah the animation in fight of ep 7 was better while this ep was overall better animated and has high quality visuals+cgi.
@@vaidikchauhan4382 nah the animation fighy was better om this weeks episode
Why Soul King sent a grown man(I mean Yuhabaha) to become a baby? 😂. Why didn't he do same with noble clan heads😂?
Why does he have to destroy all three realms or should I say the current system? Why not just carve out a realm only for Quincy where no hollow can enter? They don't need to disturb the way of the functioning of Soul Society. Just keep your ideals away. Make Quincy specific realm which should be accessible only to Quincy.
But Jay White beat Hangman at the pay per view, what the fuck does Adneyus have to do with that?
Where are people watching it
Disney+ or HBO I think
I watched it on Hulu
I think you made a mistake. Shiba clan did not betray soul king, the Shiba clan wanted to sacrifice themselves in place of the Soul King.
Read Can't Fear your own world
Ichibei said at his visit....we give U this realm and let us shinigami handle the the cycle of souls. Yhwach is not this cruel and conquering man we all thought he is. He is the son of Adenyeus and wants to bring to fall a unfair system made by the soul reapers. It never felt more false to being team Itchigo😢
This… is partially true. I won’t delve into further to avoid spoilers in case you haven’t read the manga.
During the flash back his eyes looks more compassionate too, so perhaps he becomes this twisted after he lost his eyes and the war with gotei 13, absorbing the torment of quincies for the last 1.000 just break him with anger.
Can anyone tell me , uryu and the other members went ? If it's spoiler then plz don't say its 😭
Theyre chilling off screen, you’ll see them soon
First of tell me why fullbringers are born with fragment of soul king? If mother was attacked by hollow, child will have fullbringer ability. Does that mean everybody whose mother was attacked by a hollow will be born with fullbringer ability? But then how it connects to soul king fragment? It can't seriously mean that every hollow is a fragment of Soul King or Every child who takes birth after his/her mother was attacked by hollow gets a fragment of Soul King.😒. Sorry ridiculously unbelievable. This way Soul King will run out of fragments😂 and there will be no fullbringer after a limit. Where this soul king fragment comes into play when origin of fullbringer ability is mother getting attacked by a hollow before pregnancy?
I don't understand.
Please explain.
sankt zwinger once again being the most useless quincy technique 💀💀
don't forget that was used against 2 of strongest guys in bleach
@@PrashInfinity true but the move is being treated like jogo from jjk 💀
If Hueco Mundo is as old as Soul Society and The world of the living, then I wonder why hollows failed to evolve stronger as some of the strongest quincies and Soul Reapers. There should be some hollows on par with Yamamoto and royal guard quincies. Instead hollows should be stronger. Because when a stronger hollow meets comparatively weaker one, then most probably battle happens and after stronger one's victory, stronger hollow consumes weaker one. I don't think Vasto Lorde hollows are free from this. Or are they? There is no law in Hueco Mundo. It is a lawless wild realm. So scope of evolution is very high in Hueco Mundo in compare to lawful societies of Soul Society and The world of the living.
I wonder if Soul Reaper kept interferimg with hollows dangerous evolution and kept killing strong Vasto Lorde hollows before they become too strong to deal with.
stop hyping it bro its not that crazy it was ok
Yeah the animation was mid at best
@@reddiamond3842bleach mid???? u must be a new fan I'd suggest you to stop watching let the real fans comment here
People will finally see the light yhwach>aizen
Is Yhwach a reliable narrator
I’d say he is. Or at the very least the most credible. Plus, given that he can see and change the future, there’s no point in him lying about things.
@@jakesully007 cour 2 episode 14 Yhwach said the soul reapers attacked the quincy, that was a lie, Yhwach invaded the soul society
@@j.wick6666yeah but they did technically attack first they attacked his father
@@Forsakenruler is the soul king his actual father just like he called ichigo his son, I'd say no
@@j.wick6666 I mean how else does he have the almighty
It's really not complicated when you understand that this is just copied from the Bible, and Juha is just evil Jesus & the Soul King is Kubo's depiction of GOD.
I found it underwhelming average at best imo I wouldn’t call it groundbreaking or insane
Thata because you arent a bleach fan you are a loser with multiple alts
Because you arent a bleach fan
The animation was average at best
you went from whining about stiff animation and now that you get beautiful action animation you're calling it "average" 😭 🙏
it was definitely inconcistent since it kept switching from character animation to action animation but I'm definitely lead to believe you're just trolling atp lol
🤡🤡
I mean I kinda get it what you mean...with a title like bleach and the present day modern animation we definitely expect more..but it's actually way better than cour 2 so I'll just look at the positive side of it
Talk about ungreatful
The animation was definitely good, saying that it was average at best is just blatantly wrong. What you are basically saying with your comment is that anything even a little bit below this level of animation is automatically below average or outright bad, since you are even struggling to call this episode average In terms of animation, which is absolutely absurd statement. If any episode can even be called average in terms of animation it would be the first episode of this part and even then it was still significantly above average.
