Yeah, I think Kubo gave a poor answer here. Yamamoto didn't just create a combat unit, he completely reformed soul societies military and training process, giving them them a thousand years of peace. Yamamoto didn't join Zero because he didn't want to. Because he was more useful leading the gotei, and likely got more fulfilment out if that job.

I would love to actually see the panels

I wonder why these 2 were able to regain consciousness while Bambietta don’t even though all 3 of them were equally zombified?

Jugram and Yhwach have Fullbring type Qunicy powers, the ability to send your soul out without the ability to consume external reishi is pretty spot onto we were given during the Last Agent arc for how Fullbringer powers work. Also the LNs confirmed that fullbringer powers are only triggered by the hollow attacks, it is the possession of a Fragment of the Soul King that actually gives such a power. Yhwach most definitely has the "blood of the Soul King" which would make him a Fullbringer, would it not? Giving out some of his blood is the method he eventually came up with to maximize his gifting power to later reclaim back within himself... just like Ginjo's plan for Ichigo, Kubo loves to introduce concepts in one arc before going full blast with them in the next one. I like to think that all the Shrifts are specific Fullbring type powers that Yhwach has scouted people for/stolen over the ages

I'm so down bad for Candice's mother(?) holy crap sniper Quincy girl needs a name 😩🙏

Not Reyo, he had a other name once, not a title.

funny enough that yuha have 3 pupils in this scene but have 2 pupils when he meet ichibe, bc this happen before meeting with ichibe.

ok can someone pls explain how did yhwach break the seal of his power? i thought ichibe claimed his power will remain sealed untill yhwach dies?

We need a back story on Yuha's horse

I wonder why was Bazz allowed into the Sterneitter after attempting to kill Yhwach during their first encounter.

The scene of yhwach and jugo when say I have need of reminds me of zabuza and haku

One thing I wondered after this episode is maybe Yuha had Haschwalth stay behind in the invasion 1000 years ago so he could keep the quincies alive, possibly Yuha even gave some of his power to Jugram before battle in case they were defeated. During the flashback, Bazz seemed shocked that Yuha was actually 200 years old, so it seems like quincies in the human world probably had normal human lifespan. It seems like only the Sternritter that Yuha shares power with live longer, so my guess is Jugram was able to keep the quincies alive over the past 1000 years. This could explain why he (nor Bazz) have aged at all if quincies normally age like humans do. The other explanation is that simply being in Soul Society makes them age slower, so that might also be the case...

I think people overlook how Jugram's quincy power is similar to ichigo, it gives us a reference on how Ichigo influenced orihime and chad..

still confusing. what happened to his four horsemen? they should be dead during the first invasion in soul society where unohana is still the first kenpachi

Did hashwalt create the sternritter?

Quincy was so advanced they were ahead of its medieval time. They had modern architecture and clothing. Also, shouldn't reishi bows only harm spiritual beings? How they can ignite castles and people??

I wish these quincies will appeared in 1000 years ago arc if Kubo really want to create it. 10:24 If she was a mother or sister of Jugram's servant

if sternritter were created ywach can share powers to attack soul society, why didn't he use them or the medallions in 1st attack

ywach meeting hashwalth has 3 eyes. YWACH meeting ichibei has 3 eyes. in some time between ywach lost one eye

maybe thats not bazz b mother. he doesn't cry or shout. just some caretaker

*PS* i just noticed the Bounts absor reishi like Quincy but feed on Souls like Hollows, are they An Experiment with Quincy who were wounded by hollows? Note, YHWACHS was the Quincy King in the Flashback the Bounts attacked

I believe the young woman traveling with Yhwach's entourage is the same woman killed by her own automatic rifle in response to firing at Ichibe during his meeting with Yhwach.

can someone explain how quincy can live 1000 years? is they live in earth or quincy world?

3:15 bruh

The novels are fan fiction and as useful as anime filler. We will know what is actually canon in them depending on what Kubo adds in the Hell arc. Even the Anime filler is very dubious canonically.

The episode was great. Though there was no familiar face. It seems Lillie who was the strongest Quincy who ever lived after Yhwach came later. Like all the other sternritters.

😎

4:23- it’s a shame that the Quincy girl of the Elite Guard of 1000 years wasn’t the host body of Perinda as I initially suspected with my head cannon due to how masculine the voice turned out to be. Maybe she’s somehow connected to the Ishida and Kurosaki families

I find it so weird that we have Quincy using assualt rifles a thousand years ago, but not now. You'd think everyone back then would use bows and everyone now would look like more modern soldiers

Omg ... The Soul Kings Soul, its the Spirit of Hell. Thats why Soul Reapers go to hell for Purificatio and its capped. And in Bleach Movie 3, Tokinada sent the Assassin after Rukia when she was young

The name of the Elite Quincy girl is Nikita Deathloc

Simo always coming through for the fans! Happy holidays bud

I wanted to know how every quincy got in the Sternritter

Poor Buzz. Imagine hatching a revenge plan for a thousand years, only to have the one you took into your care as a child and considered a friend kill you.... It's a natural outcome. It's a shame the author doesn't apply the same ruthless logic to Uryu...

I never noticed how close jugram and bazz b birthdays were to ichigo and uryu before 😢

The guy with the Eye patch was in the Manga when Yamamoto resurrect ed YHwachs troops he killed

Ichibei did tell YHwach, the day he opens his eyes, was the same day he died. Ichibei manipulated him. How could Ichibei absorb and restrain Pernida as the arm f the Soul King

Now, if YHwach was stabbed thru the heart by Chojiro, and Yamamoto used hellfire to kill him, why didn't YHwach fall to hell like Szyappaerol and Aaroneiro who were killed by Bankai. I also think the whole purpose of the war was for YHwach to absorb the Soul King, and bevome the new Soul King and it was all a plot by Ichibei. Note, how much aligned in the favor of maintaining the status quo and why did Senjumaru remove the blood if not to make a silver arrowhead

*What I wonder,* if the Shinigami found Uryu's Grandfather and those other Quincy dead, was it from the Aushwalen, that killed Maasaki and Uryu's Mother? Did Mayuri resurrect them, to get Information? It seems that the whole Quincy in Japan was annihilated but by Aushwalen

Would not mind seeing more of Yhwach's rise to and hold on power with the internal clashes. Even if it will be bloody given what he was willing to do to his fellow Quincies, be it mass purges or popping heads for not bowing quickly enough.

simo Truly, this episode was cinematic creativity and story creativity, and we hope that Kubo and the studio make the Next episodes similar to the episode

I'd argue this was the best tybw episode ever😊

Man thank you for all the content. Casablanca baby, Casablanca. Baz and Jugo all the way

Hello @Simo Does Ichigo know about soul king's past story or get any info during his time with Ichibe Hyosube ?

Character like tokinada and ichibei justify what aizen did

whats your native language? i love your accent

Tokinada will always be fan fiction to me, ridiculous fan fiction turned desperate cash grab.

While Kubo has made most of the novels canon, I think the episode where Reio cast Triplet World specifically contradicts and overrules the origin of the Original Sin from Can't Fear Your Own World. It's clear to me that, while everyone thinks there is some secret evil behind Ichibei's actions, Kubo never intended it that way and is correcting how people view it. It's just going slowly. It's really weird to me how ANYONE can sympathize with Yhwach and the Quincies now, he's basically upset his dad split the world. Not even that his dad is dead, just that he split the world. My guess is that Reio knew the Quincies would go down the path of darkness regardless (proven when Yhwach later refused Ichibei's deal to leave Hollows to the Shinigami and rule over the humans, a sweetheart deal since Quincies are freaking allergic to Hollows) so he split the world and gave up on them. The Original Sin, therefore, would have been Ichibei agreeing to it and then allowing the Noble Houses to use the pieces of Reio and the mythology and their Ancestral Zanpakuto to gain influence and prestige and power. I even have a hypothesis that Ichibei, Senjumaru, and Aizen were working together all along, and that Aizen's rebellion was designed to prepare the Gotei 13 for Yhwach's return. After all, had the Aizen incident not happened, the Quincies would have just straight up rolled Soul Society without hardly a fight. The only part of Soul Society I consider "evil", other than certain Nobles of course, is Central 46, and wouldn't you know it, they're the only members of Seireitei Aizen killed during his rebellion despite Momo being run through twice and Hiyori being CUT IN HALF; I make the claim AIZEN WAS NOT TRYING TO KILL THEM, he was training them, hence why he explained their mistakes while kicking their butts!

Central 46 passes judgement on people for trivial or false reasons. You have to be in people’s favor

Should the curse came from the family treasures and specially from their unkown ritual? Like Shinken Hakkyoken when it didn't get in ritual for centuries, the curse faded away by time and we see Shunsui the only one man related to Ise clan(nanao's uncle) still alive up to at least the Hell Arc.
