Haschwalth’s BROKEN GOD-LIKE POWER: The OVERPOWERED Balance Explained | BLEACH Breakdown

[@madambutterfly1997]

Haschwalth's whole characterization is interesting. The man is all about loyalty and yet he betrayed his friend in the name of serving Yhwach. Only to have his loyalty to Yhwach rewarded with death.

[@NStrats-gf8hq]

In the last moments with Uryu, Haschwalth tells him "don't think I feel bad being betrayed by his majesty". He had already accepted his destiny from the beginning. Since he was the other half of Ywacht. His dilemma was whether he had chosen the right path seeing that Uryu didn't mind sacrificing himself for his friends, even knowing the power of the antagonist. Haschwalth accepted his destiny from the moment that He meet Ywacht. He was a very built character. Beyond Good and Evil

[@jrgenvellesen7800]

I like how Jugram gave up a genuine bond with Bazz, to obtain a seemingly more beneficial bond with Yhwach. Only for him to realize that he had abandoned his only true friend, to serve a man who cared nothing about him. I think he saw his own death with the Almighty, but felt that he deserve such a fate. His story is quite sad, but he might have found some peace in helping Uryu in his final moments.

[@momoheichou]

well said! excited to see those scenes animated :)

[@matthasch847]

Actually its not only Hash's fault but also Buzz B. When Yhwach chose Hash instead of Buzz, Buzz was filled with envy and jealousy. Hash saw the face that couldn't accept hash being stronger and more useful to Yhwach. So Buzz is at fault also for abandoning Hash due to his envy and looking down on his friends. So both are at fault for the friendship ending

[@jrgenvellesen7800]

@@matthasch847 True, true. I really like that Kubo showed that both Jugo and Bazz were at fault for how things ended up. In fact, their falling out is quite an interesting parallel to Rukia and Renji’s backstory, which is a nice touch. The fact that both Bazz and Jugram also seemed to have realized their mistake right before they died, adds to the tragic nature of their story.

[@thecount1510]

The way I can understand "The Balance" is like an equation. If his opponent gains 1 fortune (damages him, evades attack, grows stronger, etc.) the Balance removes it, and turns it into a misfortune. So if they both start at 0, once the opponent gets a fortunate event, the balance is activated, and it goes from 0 to 1 to -1. And possibly, if Haschwalth is injured, he would also move that misfortune onto his opponent too, making them rest at -2.

[@Synkronist]

He says that "All fortune is met with an equivalent amount of misfortune". In other words, if you have 1 fortune point, it would be met with -1 fortune points and reduced to 0. The shield would then reflect his own losses on to you, causing you to have -1 in total. Cang Du is a great example... He was able to block haschwalth's strike, so The Balance took his durability (fortune) and met it with an equivalent amount of "negative durability" (misfortune). This resulted in his total durability being 0. Thus, Jugram sliced right through his iron skin and split him in half.

[@apotheosis1660]

And Jugram can take that fortune for himself thus he will finish at 1, and his opponent at -2z

[@manuelacosta9463]

Haschwald having an epiphany and ensuring the salvation of the surviving Quincies with his lady companion was his ultimate contribution. She is now essentially the leader of Quincy holdovers in the human world, just goes to show that Haschwald had some hidden depths despite his utter loyalty to Yhwach.

[@codebreak1884]

Probably Haswalth saw the defeat of Quincys with Almighty and his death, so he wanted to make sure that the surviving Quincys would escape safely. This is only my theory 😅

[@matthasch847]

The balance was actually first shown against ichigo when ichigo got lucky by accidentally activating blut vene and survived yhwach's attack. So Jugram rained misfortune on Ichigo by effortlessly breaking tensa zangetsu. Then he also almost used it against Nanao and Shunsui who got lucky twice with a barrier to block his attacks but was called back by Yhwach to punish Cang Du and Bg9. He also used it against Buzz who survived Aushwallen and his fortune was balanced by misfortune from Jugram to overpower and kill him.

I do believe that there was another instance of The Balance being used. I believe that Jugram used The Balance to break Ichigo's Tensa Zangetsu, and did not break it only by sheer strength or by having a better weapon. Up until that point, Ichigo had been very fortunate, like by escaping Quilge's The Jail by awakening his quincy powers, and surviving a direct blow to the neck by Yhwach via unknowingly activating Blut Vene, and afterwards managing to injure Yhwach himself. Perhaps even the fact that Yhwach was out of time outside the Schatten Bereich could be counted as fortune for Ichigo. When Ichigo went in to attack Yhwach and Jugram as they were going away, I believe then Jugram used The Balance to convert Ichigo's fortune into misfortune, which resulted in his bankai being broken. I think it's a very satisfying theory, personally.

Not sure how Haschwalth's Balance would fair against One Hit Characters like Zaraki and Gerard. Fortune and misfortune would only apply to people who are alive. If Haschwalth were to be killed in one hit then surely his ability would cease to function? Unlike Gerard who is virtually immortal and becomes stronger everytime is dealt damage. Haschwalth's Balance only comes into effect once the misfortune is realized by Haschwalth.

[@lexogun1311]

That's a really good take.

Gerard never killed anyone in one hot though. Infact he was getting one shotted throughout the fight by Kenpachi, Toshiro and Byakuya but always came back. He never oneshotted Kenpachi, whose body is already torn apart by his own bankai. Gerard relies on the concept of Miracle aka good fortune. It is a miracle that he can come back, it is also a miracle that he survived the encounter against alot of captains. Since Miracle is pretty much employing "good fortune" as its main source of power, Balance should be the perfect counter to it

[@MJ-sg5nn]

Awesome video! I'm glad that I'm not only one who speculated that the true power of the Balance is to manipulate cause and effect. The one disagreement I have is that Haschwalth never said that his schrift is limited to redirecting misfortunes that happened only to himself. As he explained to Uryu, his power is to allocate misfortunes that occur in his domain to the fortunate. In other words, even misfortunes that occurred to allies can be redirected to the fortunate. Right when he was conversing with Kyoraku, he had analyzed the battles in the Seirietiei and concluded they were balanced. It is implied that his Balance has a huge area of effect and can redirect misfortune from anywhere. I imagine for this to be effective, Haschwalth's spiritual sensing has to be off the charts, and he may have a bit of clairvoyance on his own even without the Almighty. And yeah, I'm hoping the anime will expand on this amazing schrift. I'm guessing the reason why there are only two instances of him using his schrift is because he's immensely powerful in terms of raw power too. He broke Tensa Zangetsu and decimated Bazz-b with his skill as a swordsman. Even with Cang Du, it's likely he could have dealt with him without using his schrift, but Kubo used that moment to give a hint at what his schrift is all about.

[@MrGksarathy]

The Balance is basically D4C: Love Train, but actually controllable, which makes it truly OP. Also, with Cang Du, I always thought the Balance simply allowed Haschwalth the good fortune of finding a weak point in Cang Du's defenses in order to bisect the latter.

[@df0rdeath58]

I would say it is less absolute compared to D4C but in effect it serves the same purpouse.

[@henryviiifake8244]

I generally agree. And Kubo missed some opportunities to make some stuff make sense. E.g. There is one panel in the Gerald fight where Kenpachi cleaves Gerald in two, but Gerald'd body and blood are drawn back together around a quincy cross inside him. If Kubo had better health, he could have explored the significance of thst cross in placing a limit on Gerald (or the cross simply being Gerald's only weakpoint which has to be destroyed, or something like that). As written, I actually got bored towards the end of the fight because it was going nowhere. As for Haschwald and Balance, it felt to me that something was deemed good fortune just because Haschwald said so (e.g. cutting through the dude using Iron Skin).

You forget that physical prowess are what needs to be taken into account as well. If Gerard or Kenpachi blast or cut Haschwalth in half, there is no balance to be done there. The reason Jugram is so powerful is his shield, he needed to use it, in order to counter Antithesis and not take that much damage himself, which proves he isn't all that physically tough. A brute strength and otherworldly move from Gerard or Zaraki would end him. Actually, the combo of Haschwalth and Yhwach is what can't be beaten IMO.

Or is this a situation like with Uryu's bow where he can just form another one? This is all assuming that there's a minor delay in The Balance taking effect and suddenly nerfing that same speed.

Shrift A and B should have been the strongest, but as shown, Balance is stronger than Antithesis.I'm not saying that Antithesis should be the strongest, but at least equal to Balance. Thanks again for your attention. I will be very glad if you answer my questions.

[@TimCarter1]

Hwy i will try to give my hest guess First i think it cant swap abilities becusse the restriction is a event had to take place then its instantaneous So whatever the effect or cause of that ability is what he can choose to reverse. -Second the balance imo isnt stronger than antethesis, just a 1000 year old explioted a new comers and had a secondary abilty they understood to late - Finally more about both abilities will be explained in the final cours -

[@サイバーちゃん]

Yhwach absorbs Quincy's powers when he dies. Since Gremmy has already been absorbed, Hushwald can use His Majesty's power at night, so he can also use Gremmy's ability. Hashwald just can't change the future.

[@milimdestroyer9058]

He cant use the ability

[@sanddry738]

I don’t know much about the in-between of the later half of TYBW. All I heard was how busted this ability is and honestly it’s amazing how “The Balance” is deliberately unbalanced as hell.

[@ZzigZaG00NIN]

Some Sternritter abilities are so crazy That's a cool shield

His ability is basically plot armor

[@michaelrafaelmakapugay-dk3uj]

Awesome explanation!

[@Julian.noah2]

So will shunsui's bankai be counted as misfortune?

[@ithfransuave]

I think the Balance could easily be countered in probably one of 2 ways that we'll call the direct route and indirect route. The direct route has to do with Hash's shield itself. That's the weakness. While it is able to reflect damage/misfortune, it also only reflects damage that HASH PERSONALLY SUFFFERS directly ie bodily harm or being unable to do something himself directly. However if a character, ie Kenpachi shikai, cuts/destroys just the shield directly WHILE he purposefully keeps taking damage (like he did in his Tousen bankai battle), he both can negate the fortune part of Balance (because he's not blocking incoming damage from Hash), while also attacking the shield (not Hash himself). Once the shield is negated, the Balance has nothing to reflect with, like a broken mirror. The indirect route is simply capitalizing on the other weakness that Hash himself has which is he can only misdirect fortune/misfortune "in his purview/area/vicinity". If a character "infects" Hash with an illusion, like Aizen's shikai, or a delayed "poison" such as Gin's Bankai or Mayuri's poison/paralysis (but they never physically injured Hash, just apply the status effect) and then that same character gets out of "range" of Hash's area/line of sight and is able to have the damage trigger after the fact to Hash, then there is noone/nothing nearby to reflect the Balance onto, thus Hash will have to take that damage himself. His weakness essentially is to be able to "fatally damage" when him when you're not around/after disengagement. It can't be in real time, or in a current battle with him.

[@Elmo914]

He can just create another one lol... its a reishi weapon. He can just create another shield, and Kenpachi doing so would be good fortune... I'm sorry Kenpachi doesn't win this.

[@IsaacClodfelter]

Antithesis could indeed be stronger than Balance if used properly.

[@Blad3sofWaR]

But thanks to his shield, Jurgram can take MUCH more of a beating then the individual he’s facing

[@IsaacClodfelter]

@@Blad3sofWaR for sure, I suppose should have added that my first comment was presuming the two schrifts would be in completely equal Quincy. Kinda vital info I just forgot to add to my original comment Lmao. But that just makes it power V power Like I think, in a schrift on schrift fight, all else equal, Antithesis would overpower Balance.

[@IlIlIlllIlIlIllli]

Something about his broad sword fits him so well

[@CelestQB]

So he basically has Daemons reflect ability from Boruto?

[@kodoqbesar4301]

Daemon is more of a damaged reversal while The Balance is more of a causality manipulation

In light of the Cour 2 Finale, a new weakness of The Balance...before the scales weigh your position... Hit Him...Really Hard.

[@AAVVVAAADDAAAKAAADAVRAAA]

He has a power that has no limit really it could go on forever

[@smudger0535]

So how it works is it just puts the misfortune from jugram to the enemy then double it. It’s still a balance because the balance was already out of place because of the enemy therefore correcting it and transferring it back so it is still a balance. At 7:13 he stated there’s a common denominator and that the balance doesn’t really balance when it actually does the balance goes out of place due to the enemy therefore the balance needs to rectify the problem so it takes away there fortune and let’s jugrsm have some it’s a bit like karma ( reap what you sow ).Yhwach would have a little problem with that considering haschwalth doesn’t have to attack to transfer to Yhwach so if he get hurt by Yhwach, there is no timeline in where Yhwach can avoid it because it just passively goes to him and the almighty only can alter Physical attacks from different timelines. The statement of when jugram said antithesis can rival the almighty that’s because it’s a passive ability and so is the balance although Yhwach can just use alschwallen on him.

[@JBPVFL]

I feel like between the balance vs the miracle, it would definitely be a draw, but only in the sense that Gerard can't be killed seemingly. I think if it were a boxing match and you were scoring points though, after 12 rounds the balance would take the win.

[@shawnboahene5231]

I think it was the balance that killed haschwalt. When Uyru used the antithesis on him directly there nothing shielding him from the misfortune. So when Ywach used the ashwalen the balance tipped it to target him instead of uryu.

[@sasailicc]

Jugram is immune to his own power in every case, so idk about that mate.

[@nathangarfitt9661]

Could you imagine if kenpachi zaraki had Gremmys ability with the strong mind he has and the belief he can defeat anybody he would be limitless and unstoppable

[@ismailabdulq1492]

It make me remember Love Train Stand from JoJo part 7, but Balance schrift is more.... Balanced(?)

[@daijoubu712]

So, you simply need to make him think that his death is fortunate- at the hands of your blade? as to end his suffering? He's quite weak then

[@life-sf1oz]

Not at all

[@DamonAngelo09]

If Haschwalth ever stole a bonkai whose would it be? Urahara, Shunsui, Ukitake or Byakuya?

[@christianrodriguez4225]

Heck yeah can you please do a VS video with the miracle VS the balance

[@alielsalkh3130]

Great 🤩💝 But does the balance can consider immortality as a luck for the foe and bring it to jugram to or just remove it from the owner?!

[@Kreadus005]

If Haschwalth's fortune of victory in a single battle yielded him a greater misfortune overall, his opponent may be able to overcome The Balance. One has to wonder what circumstance could be defined in this way. Say, if Hashwalth's family were to be killed should he win the battle. Or if he should betray his God, should he win. (Why the Balance couldn't counteract Auchwalen)

[@zaiminnosi2905]

Jugram is immune to his ability thanks to Freund Shield which will absorb the misfortune and redirect it to his opponents and strike them harder.

[@jbabylucus1641]

How does the x axis vs the balance play out? One makes you straight intangible to all damage while the other makes sure to balance out any misfortune and fortune. Edit: we would have to assume the balance itself is capable of touching the intangibility by turning him tangible. I don’t think it goes that far to the point of turning off the power

[@sarthakarora3212]

The iron was a power that it turned off

[@iamcoachmark8327]

Anything you throw to jugram count as misfortune, including ichibei ink. With that, the balance throw it back to whoever did that misfortune to jugram.

[@iamcoachmark8327]

Just like what jugram did to cangdu he nullified his schrift "I" the iron. And jugram did that even thou cangdu didn't attack jugram. Now, if you argue that jugram use his superior reatsu to cut cangdu that is already debunked cuz in the manga jugram clearly stated that "I see... How wonderful... Its your second good fortune... Can you see it the tilted scales?" - a clear evidence that jugram use his schrift "B" the balance to cut through cangdu body. If jugram B didn't remove the ability of cangdu schrift, then he shouldn't be cut by jugram sword. Therefore, same fate to what happened to Lille's intangibility.

[@GwyndOwO]

He gives me Barragan vibes in the sense that he controla some all powerful ability but thinks it doesn't apply to him.

[@felipechaves6100]

I think the visionary could cause a stalemate with the balance as well 🤔

Definitely not

The visionary power is not only manifestation anything he imagines comes to REALITY that is what his power does not manifestation If he imagine a pool of water to drown is opponent then it will happen, if he imagines jugram ability to not work when jugram is fighting him Jugram ability will not work against him he will then imagine that jugram his drowned in water and was unable to escape then jugram dies. That just it HE IS STRONGER THAN ALL OF THEM AND HE STATED IT He was locked up by ywatch himself every other sternwritter is even afraid of him

[@user-sqr2jp6304]

Jugram and Uryu's shrift is just basically "No U"

[@crem44]

the anime scene of the execution was so cool wtf

[@WinWin4Eva]

Nah, the Balance schrift would beat the Miracle schrift, by simply "balancing out miracles". Think of it like the Scarlet Witch's probability manipulation. That's to say that miracles are rare, so the balance would eventually stop them from occurring. There's a reason why the B schrift was given to Yhwach's second in command, & it's to be able to counter any schrift below it.

[@youtubestudiosucks978]

Or it would increase the amounts of miracles to occur to balance it

[@WinWin4Eva]

@@youtubestudiosucks978 No, not at all. It'd balance out because he already had miracles performed. It'd be like balancing out coin flips. If 2 already landed on heads, then the 3rd & 4th flips would be balanced out by both landing on tails.

Scarlet Witch: You've done well my son.

[@seungcho4290]

What happens if a character severely wounds H because of pure skill and not “luck”? Would his Schrift not work?

[@MJ-sg5nn]

Cang Du blocking his sword could be interpret as pure skill since Cang was capable of reacting and he was using his schrift that inherently blocks sword attacks anyway. The Balance still canceled it. Like Dbzimran, I believe Haschwalth manipulates cause and effect, and it ultimately falls onto him to determine what is luck and misfortune, which is the scary aspect of his schrift and how it can trump the Miracle, which is probability manipulation and Gerard power stems from not just from himself but the people he fights.

@@DBZimran awesome! Thanks a million. It's truly a terrifying ability because not only can he defile events that have already taken place in reverse them but he can also direct any damage or anything taken between two designated targets it doesn't even have to be designated between him and the target it can be between him and another target or two other targets comparatively if you watch the Naruto the Akatsuki member heating and his ritual where he would stab himself The antithesis could do that and directed to the opponent It would be an unbeatable ability if the user was a villain opponent. The almighty altars future events the antithesis is the antithesis of the Almighty which alters past events.

Another chance anyone who has the balance will always have the upper hand and the upper advantage in battle while the enemy will always have the disadvantage, and it works in a similar way to Shunsui Shikai ability..

[@lorentzdriver4048]

its more of a counter than a balance because he puts his own damage into an invincible shield

[@Mikethetwilight1234]

I wouldn’t say god like. It shares the damage between the two. It becomes god like due to the shield which absorbs the misfortune. However, the shield does have a limit or can be knocked out. When fighting Ishida his shield was cracking. Also when Jugram fought Squad Zero Tenjiro was able to knock the shield off and take it away.
