[@KiyoneKotetsu]

Optimistic for cour 4. But first, get me up after that shot plz, I have been laying on the ground for weeks

[@MrGksarathy]

@@MrTommo2304 I'm holding out hope that the Bambis come back, either because Orihime heals them or even Ryuuken heals them. I mean, Giselle definitely isn't dead, since we know she's survived worse. Also, love your take on Ywach, no notes really. The only addition I would make is that like every fascist, Ywach can point out a problem, but his solution is insane and punishes everyone else for existing. Like, he's right that the world was created under unjust circumstances and that death is an imposition by the authoritarian Shinigami, but he seemingly never bothered actually trying to convince his "children" that it is in their best interests to fight Soul Society or to free Adnyeus from his humiliation and instead forced them to heel and acted as an abusive Allfather. He's basically Gnostic Jesus gone horribly wrong because he prioritized his Divine mission to free the Quincy from the prison of flesh/death and destroy the Archons and the Demiurge, aka Soul Society and Ichibei respectively, to such an extent that he lost sight of the value of the individual souls he was supposed to save.

[@christheanimeguy6114]

@MrTommo2304 i have a theory of how uryu survived the aushwailen. I think that uryu is himself somewhat of a hybrid, not quite like ichigo, but a quincy fullbring hybrid.

1:00:00 I have a feeling the Ukitake plotline's purpose will be to give Ywach a tangible reason to return to Soul Society in order to bring down the last vestiges of resistance keeping him from merging the worlds since in the manga there was really no specific reason for him to go there other than to initiate the Aizen fight.

To me what the Katagiri scene alluded to was that she was a Quincy like Ywhach and Haschwalth, no power of her own but could redistribute it. Likely would mean she would be unaffected but gave her life to save Uryu.

Great call, Quincy like that are born every couple hundred years or so, so it stands to reason that there would've been one in the modern day. This is my headcanon until proven otherwise in cour 4 lol

Wow, I didn't even notice Katakiri's wings. That's so cool.

[@gabe8914]

Ya evens Yuhas desire to “free” his father is more based on revenge then a desire to help him. The anime shows this when Yuha talks about his father with contempt saying how his father had seen the future of the Quincy and still did nothing.

[@MrGksarathy]

@@gabe8914 Indeed. He's so wrapped up in what the ancestors did to HIS father and to HIM that he doesn't bat an eye at doing similar shit to Quincy who probably didn't consent to giving their lives up for his use. I imagine Ywach was at one point capable of empathy, but the voices of the damned long drove him mad and isolated him from humanity.

[@gabe8914]

​@@MrGksarathy I don't think he ever really cared about anyone. Remember in the manga we learn that since he was a baby he has used the souls of others to keep himself alive and well. His whole life all he's ever know has been disposing others for his own growth and gain. To him, he sees it as necessary and since he never knew any different I feel like he has never felt remorse or empathy for his "children". I think the voices of the dammed only enforced his own in-ate fear of death, but I doubt he felt anything for those he killed seeing them as serving their only purpose. I also get the idea that he blames his father just as much as the ancestors considering his talk about how his father saw what happened to the quinces and how he did nothing. I think he was just as much resentful to his father because he knew that his father could have stoped the nobel's, yet he didn't.

[@gabe8914]

​@@MrGksarathy I doubt Yuha has ever felt anything for his victims, remember he has been using the souls of others to sustain himself since he was a baby and has never known any difference. To him taking the souls of others is the same as eating and dinking and he doesn't bat an eye killing his "children" when he deems it necessary. To him the only purpose others have is to sustain his existence outside of that they are nothing to him. Even the voices of the dammed probably only reinforced his fear of death, but he most likely cared little for the actual people the voices came from seeing them as fulfiling their purpose. Even his own father I feel he had nothing but contempt for. His father knew what was going to happen and in Yuhas eyes still chose to let the soul reapers seal him and create the realms. He hated his father probably just as much as the soul rapers if not more so.

[@MrGksarathy]

@@gabe8914 Do remember during the flashback at the end of Cour 2 that Ywach noticeably sounded more angry on behalf of the souls of the damned he was forced to hear, even while he was a ruthless warlord, an empathy that basically vanished in the present day. I also think the presence of the mini-Ywach inside of Ichigo and his character development is proof that under different circumstances, Ywach could have become an actual caring protector of the Quincy, even if he would probably have remained controlling and deceptive. The old man inside Ichigo was based off the Ywach from 1000 years ago, but tellingly, most of his actions were done with Ichigo's welfare in mind, and not even for the sake of Ywach's goals. Also, Ywach hates his father for abandoning him, but he also still loves him and resents how the Shinigami dishonored him. Both feelings can coexist, and I think he hates both nearly equally, even if he hates the Shinigami more.

47:16 Not just them; Hallibel's fracción also has a stake in this war, so they should be involved in the final battle to rescue their queen. Additionally, the Privaron Espada that Mayuri resurrected are essentially his slaves, so he should have compelled them to fight. This is my main issue with Kubo introducing an inconsequential character like Yoruichi's brother so late in the story when Soifon could have easily taken on that role. There are so many already pre-existing characters that he simply overlooked.

[@AdriánTóth-b4f]

This

[@Dexx1s]

Yea, Soifon really got shafted in the manga, and then she got it even harder in the anime. Having her show off her Shunko, a technique she actually likes, as opposed to her Bankai, something she admits that she hates, just to get backhanded in dumbest way, is disappointing.

[@doginababyseat5127]

@@Dexx1sExactly. She already isn’t allowed to use her shikai in fights because Kubo realized it’s too OP. Now she can’t even use her Shunko and is forced to only rely on her bankai. It’s ridiculous. Why even give her all these powers and skills if you aren’t going to let her use them? Her bankai is the most boring part of her arsenal.

[@MrGksarathy]

@@Youngblood-Pirates Mostly agree except about Soifon. I much prefer Yuushiro, though I want Soi Fon present just to get humiliated in front of Yoruichi because she's just a bum.

Now that you mention Halibel's Fraccion, it kinda makes me want to see them summon Ayon to fight Gerard - a clash of the titans if you will.

[@tekkamanspade8709]

I believe Cour 4 is going to give us the full story of Adnyeus, YH, Osho, and the division of the worlds, along with the creation of the OG Gotei and some peeks at the Hell Arc. Mathematically, a little over 50% of the cour must be new content. Thats more then enough time for all of the above.

[@IamtheGL]

true

[@adoniscreed4031]

Is that right? We have 4 fights left and the gerard and ywach fights are pretty prolongued. I guess they can cover 2 episodes each plus 1 episode for askin and 1 for jugram. I feel like it will be about 8 episodes to finish main plot and like 4 or 5 of added content if we're lucky

[@drewzamudio4408]

I always felt that Uryu's grandfather left him the glove specifically as a means to deal against Ywach. That's why Kubo mentions the little pieces of paper that were of a similar nature to the glove. Soken thought Uryu would need the glove/release to be able to stand against Ywach. Like that was Kubo's way of dropping that tiny thread in the mad dash that was the ending. I wonder if in the next core we'll learn that Soken stole something else that helped mitigate the effects of Aschwalen when Uryu was hit by it

[@amrew9203]

@@Nexus-ub9jm I don't want that because I'd rather the Bambis be healed and then fight shades of their dead comrades alongside Chad and Ganju plus maybe some others. I personally want a Liltotto vs Robert fight to make up for removing his death scene.

@@MrGksarathy That's fair enough. Personally, I'm hoping for an overhauled final battle as well. Maybe have all the sternriter as shades going up against all of the soul reapers and such. One clash of good and evil. Though, I doubt that would happen

[@MrGksarathy]

@@Nexus-ub9jm I think it should be Sternritter shades versus Ichigo's gang, the Bambis, and the Fullbringers minus Ginjo and Tsukishima with minimal Shinigami involvement because I feel those other groups need more to do, and Liltotto vs her former comrades is more interesting than a "good vs evil" clash. As you can see, I'm not super interested in the Gotei as far as this arc goes because they've gotten enough and can easily get more.

I need to know how the new Uryu and Kanae information goes with how according to Q&A #575 by Tite Kubo on his fansite "Klub Outside", Uryū being "special" for a Quincy is not just demonstrated by his ability to survive Auswählen, but also the fact that he can resist erosion by Hollow Reiatsu; citing his battles with Szayelaporro Granz and Ulquiorra Cifer as proof.

I assume, that Big Red Ball is THE Gate of the Sun, since Uryu was about to give an amulet that strongly resembles the gate itself. Also, considering Jugram stayed in that room and after walked out claiming he’d already destroyed the gate in my eyes makes much sense. I think it works more like a power core that enables teleportation for quinces, as long as the “core” is active.

Remember schrifts are just ywach drawing out innate powers of the individual similar to how zanpakuto draw out the powers of a shinigami and not ywach granting people special powers out of nothing

[@Atticus-Catnipp]

@@mathanon217 True. Whether a person had the potential for a big or small change is entirely their deal.

[@LightKeyDarkBlade]

No, that's completely wrong. It's literally part of Yhwach's power of distributing part of his soul. He gives letters which are the new abilities.

[@mathanon217]

@LightKeyDarkBlade he chooses the letter but the powers come from the individual with for example askin not having the potential to be given the explosion schrift even if ywach gave him E which would result in him getting something similar to but slightly different then his canon death dealing

[@LightKeyDarkBlade]

@@mathanon217 No, it's already explained how Schrift work in the manga as well as in the anime through the keyword eyecatch. Schrift refer to the special abilities given by Yhwach. The letters correspond with the first letters of the names that represent the abilities themselves. The Sternritter literally get Yhwach's soul. Nowhere is it stated that the powers come from the Sternritter themselves. Pernida and Gerard are the only exception where they just get the Schrift as letters nominally without additional power.

[@mathanon217]

@LightKeyDarkBlade as explained on klub outside by kubo the way the sternwritter are granted their schrifts is via ywach seeing potential in their soul and drawing out that potential via using a piece of his soul and engraving them with a letter but the power they are granted originates from them and not ywach which is part of why bazz and the bambis still have them despite losing vollstandig which is a result of ywachs soul

[@VenomPureEvil]

I think we can comfortably say that kubo refused to give them bits of information like what you suggested for the askin post credits.

[@xxcagedriotxx]

I think the anime actually showing the massacre of Castle Black really hammers home the fact that Ywach is just a self serving evil tyrant and far from a savior. (Although I do think it's pretty clear from the manga) You see that Quincy seemingly are just living their lives just like anyone else prior to his conquest of their race. It seems like he did significantly more damage to the Quincy than SS ever did. Then he lead the remaining Quincy that he didnt kill himself on a pointless invasion of SS that lead to their near extinction as a species. The few that did survive were then again used and killed in the TYBW for his attempt at another invasion of SS that he paints as this great revenge for the Quincy race when in reality he slaughtered the majority of his own people to solidity his rule then forced the rest to engage in a fight only he wanted.

[@MrGksarathy]

@@xxcagedriotxx The really sad part is that if he even tried, he could have convinced a significant number of Quincy to voluntarily join his cause because he has some reasonably compelling arguments on his side about why the Quincy genuinely have a raw deal in this world.

[@xxcagedriotxx]

@MrGksarathy Except that he doesn't. What is so bad about being a Quincy? Especially at this point in time. We see they have their own entire nation which is solely inhabited by Quincy. There are Quincy living as royalty which we see through castle black and common folk where Haschwalth presumably comes from. But these are established lands that at the time do not seem to have any quarrel with the SS. To the point Ywachs' highest soldiers even questioned why his conquest of all the Quincy was not enough. He was a tyrant who purged any who wouldn't submit or were too weak to oppose him then forced the remaining, Quincy to be a means of bolstering his own power.

[@MrGksarathy]

@@xxcagedriotxx It is true that the Quincy were left in the lurch with regards to the order of the world, especially since Hollows are uniquely poisonous to them. That, and while the Soul Society can tolerate them if they don't step out of line, the moment they maybe expand too much or get a little overzealous about killing Hollows, then SS has no problem killing them to preserve their order. I will admit that Soul Society probably wouldn't immediately resort to violence, nor would the Quincy of that time likely be as violently opposed to SS, but their peace is a sort of fragile one that always pushes against the boundaries. I mean, even Sōken conceded to Ywach's argument that the current world was unsightly and had forsaken the Quincy as a race. Not to mention, considering that Death itself is an imposition upon souls by the founders that can in fact be rectified, there is a reasonable argument for getting rid of death as a system.

[@MrGksarathy]

@@xxcagedriotxx The Quincy of that era might have been tolerated by Soul Society and even been allowed to prosper, but that peace is inherently somewhat fragile, since if they got too numerous and killed too many Hollows, they might have been slightly culled by SS, though both sides probably would have been more open to negotiation, if Soul Society deigned yo negotiate with "mere humans". That is definitely the grounds of a reasonable argument for Ywach to use. Same goes for the very imposition of death by the founders. That is a pretty self-evident argument on its own.

[@xxcagedriotxx]

@@MrGksarathy Up until that point as far as we know there has been peace between the SS and whatever the Quincy nation was known wss at that point in time. This thousand year blood war is a result of Ywach choosing to invade and wipe out SS despite what we clearly see is a prospering society. And if we compare that to that we know of the SS at the time it honestly makes it even worse. The rukongai were treated even worse and the 13 court guard were known as murders and criminals. A society where the strongest and most ruthless were given seats of power and the vast majority were left to less than rags. We only see a brief look into their society at the time but it seems like the ppl were pretty much left to their own devices without any ruling hand or set power structure. And I'm sure they could have come to some agreement with ss as far as elimination of hollows if they were an issue in their lands.

[@cubedone199]

I wish the Vizard while wearing there mask would even just try smothering Gerard with there hollow reiatsu alone that’s be insane. I really wish they could’ve flexed that hollow reiatsu being poison to Quincy. They should’ve gotten to do a lot.

[@Dothomir777]

I immediately thought of Tommo when the Daten segment started, the Bambi impersonations were hilarious

[@strider_hiryu850]

20:50 i think yes. i think he unconsciously activated an innate form of the Antithesis to protect her. which is why she grabs hold of him and cries out to him. if she had the Antithesis, she obviously would've used it to protect him. and she would've fallen. but instead, the son protected the mother. though obviously, it didn't last. given that she did eventually die 3 months later. it also makes more sense to me that Uryu has it. not only did Soken survive this Auswählen, but Ryuken did as well. i think the Antithesis might be a trait unique to the Ishida family. they are the Antithesis: the Opposites of God. the Adversaries to Yuhabaha. perhaps The Adversary is the true form of The "Antithesis"? or maybe each Ishida has a different version of this power. maybe Ryuken has The Adversary, Uryu has The Antithesis, and Soken had something else? The Aberration, perhaps? (or Ryuken has The Aberration, and Soken had The Adversary) in fact, wouldn't it be funny if Uryu used his Innate Schrift after drinking Yuhabahas blood? but before he inscribed the Letter on his Soul? to but his blood in his own stomach. and his new plan in the anime, the thing only he can do: involves him somehow activating this unholy blood? although it would be hard to pull this off without him noticing. so, probably not

[@MrGksarathy]

Another thing, I really wish Yoruichi’s fight with askin would’ve forced her to reveal & use her zanpaktou, making her use shi & bankai. Aside from say Aizen…Yoruichi’s zanpaktou abilities are the ones I most wish would be shown.

[@nulref575]

I paused this at 26:53. I think Ishida sniped Ichigo through a place in Ichigo's chest that would not kill him. Ishida has seen Ichigo survive from way worse. Ishida has surgeon precision so he could easily pull off that shot.

[@LUKA_911]

[@ZafoolTV]

Maybe Mashiro's armored legs are her shikai. Just like Kensei had fused with his during TBP, she did too. As a shinigami, it is just a shikai

[@AverageBananas12]

my theory as to what Uryu's new plan to defeat Yhwach is that he might do something the involves exploiting the antithesis to kill him. Or he might have something planned with his dad since he was the one who was still holding on to Soken's journal and allowed Uryu to read it.

[@RusselStJohnhill]

Thank you for another amazing season of reviews!

[@Cas-ed9ob]

I feel like it is very likely uryu or his mother had some form of antithesis. It could also explain ryukens cold demeanor towards uryu if uryu had been the one who had antithesis and accidently activated it. But considering uryus mothers wings were coming out, it probably was her doing. So stoked for cour 4.

[@rayvonvelez3129]

My theory on what the scene with uryu and his mom probably meant, is maybe uryu accidentally used antithesis that day and reversed the effects of aushwalen to his mom. Cuz yhwach says uryu was the only Quincy to survive aushwalen. This makes me think yhwach Targeted uryu that day with his aushwalen originally.. but somehow it went to uryu mom instead of uryu. Making it he was the only survivor

[@Atticus-Catnipp]

What about the other 3 sternritters that got through Auswählen? Are they an exception to this

[@soldierbreed]

Technically ichigo survived it, and maybe karin, she might be a baby by then. They would all be impure Quincy Edit: im stupid if thats the day thier mother died of course both the sisters are born by then.. i know I know im slow 🙄

[@rayvonvelez3129]

@@soldierbreed if I remember yhwach can actually target who is hit by aushwalen and who's not. Yhwach needed ichigo in the future to cut down the soul king since he is a perfect hybrid. So that's why I always thought he never went after ichigo with aushwalen and his sisters.

[@soldierbreed]

@@rayvonvelez3129 thats makes sense for ichigo not his sisters. But also wouldn't he not have gotten the Almighty back yet? How would he know?

[@rayvonvelez3129]

@@soldierbreed yhwach always had almighty. he just couldn't use it to its fullest potential without his power going out of control. That's why he needed to take more souls, that's why he has his sternritter fight. So when they fight or die, the ones the sternritter fight and the sternritter themselves all go back to yhwach when they die. Boosting his power to where he can use Almighty at 100% capacity to defeat ichibei and destroy the soul king.

[@jackblackrosedragon9325]

I just got a crazy theory. So what IF Uryu was born like Haschwalth and Yhwach with no innate ability to collect reishi, but he STOLE his powers from katagiri on accident? That would honestly make so many things make sense. Like how Uryu got his powers back after Letz Stile, and how Ryuken CLEARLY has some resentment for Uryu.

[@MrGksarathy]

@@jackblackrosedragon9325 This theory holds little water, tbh. The process by which he got his powers back seems to be a standard, albeit dangerous route for any Quincy, and it ties into how the Soul works in Bleach

[@mathanon217]

I have recently been contemplating the same thing though I think it's somewhat unlikely but it would explain all the stuff about uryu being untalented at the quincy arts and why he was able to survive but it still feels like it's a longshot

[@jackblackrosedragon9325]

@mathanon217 yeah there are some gaps for sure but it'd be interesting. I just can't wait to find out the truth

[@mathanon217]

@jackblackrosedragon9325 another idea I had recently is that there might be something with mimihagi going on based on that weird blut pattern on his hand that looked like mimihagi when uryu got his red eyes. This also came about in part because the kid uryu falling sick reminded me of the flashback with ukitake and how the anime changed it so mimihagi itself doesn't seem to be inside ukitake but just some of his power that ukitake is using his organs as fuel to make more of

[@Just_Red_]

I have a feeling that we may get an actual Ukitake fight. They've really gone out of their way to show that he's not dead yet. I'm wondering if with Mimihagi no longer being able to stabilize the world, Ukitake may manifest through it somehow in order to fight and stall Yhwach more directly.

[@Dragonpuncher123]

Katagiri must have done something to save Uryu, while sacrificing herself. That would also explain why Ryuken is so cold towards his son, part of him still blames Uryu for his wife's death. I like the idea that she has some version af the antithesis.

I really want the vizard to have a part in taking down a stage of Gerard. It would tie really nicely into the hollows being toxic to quincy that went nowhere after the bankais are taken back. (Besides maybe being a part of why grimmjows strike is so lethal against asken, besides the obvious lack of heart haha.)

[@strider_hiryu850]

8:38 i forgot to put this in a comment in the last review. WHERE WAS THE BAD CHARACTER ART IN EPISODE 39???? no, seriously. where was it? you mentioned it got a little rough in some places in that review. but then, never showed an example? i was very confused by this "critique" when watching your review because when i watched the episode, i thought the character art was excellent. i mean maybe Yushiro was a little... meh?? i guess? but he has the unfortunate circumstance of being Yoruichis younger brother. and she looked really cool in that episode. so i really wasn't sure what you meant by that

[@strider_hiryu850]

[@blackrabbit6265]

Before this episode, the established law for Katagiri was that she was a half-blood Quincy and a maid, but powerful enough to be the personal bodyguard to Ryuken (the Quincy heir). Later she marries Ryuken and has Uryu, then we are told she was sick and weak; Katagiri was affected by auswahlen and died three months later. Finally, in this episode, we see she wasn't affected by auswahlen; Uryu and the maid holding the umbrella collapse while she is left standing. The whole pure-blood quincy vs half-blood or spoiled-blood Quincies strongly suggested that those killed first were the weaker Quincies (i.e not pure blood). If Uryu's mother wasn't affected then with a pure-blooded father, Uryu should be OK. The only thing that Uryu has is low blood pressure. Then there are hints about Mimihagi with a visual effect on Uryu hand in the Royal palace. Finally, MrTommo2304 (I missed this one) noticed the reflection in the water of something going on (blue light) which suggests either Katagiri, Uryu or a third party does something to allow Uryu to survive. So did Soken write down what happened in his journal and Uryu learned the 'truth'? Is Ryuken the only one who really knows what happened but chose to keep this secret from Uryu (for whatever reason)? Or nobody really knows, but Soken and Ryuken made educated guesses and came up with a story to tell Uryu. If there is a third party /parties involved : is it Aizen, the Royal guard, Urahara, an unknown Aizen-type character in the background or an unknown powerful Quincy? Lots of questions and not many answers.

[@Aurelius-bf3yx]

On the Auswählen flashback I wonder if maybe that wasn't a Vollständig but Letzt Stil and maybe Katagiri was spared because she was strong enough to not be targeted, we know it goes for the sick/injured, weak, and old first

[@teoguajardo4103]

Letz Stile is such an interesting theory. It ties into Soken not giving up his Letz Stile for a Voll Stern Dich, and him potentially teaching it to Katagiri to protect his family. Especially since him and Ryuken were not on good terms. It could even potentially be the basis for the antithesis being a contradictory power to Ywach to protect "impure" quincies.

[@teflonbird]

I don't think I've seen anyone mention it, but I think Uryu know's that Ichigo can read his opponent's feelings when he's fighting, and the entire flashback and internal monologue was everything he told Ichigo during their brief fight. Ichigo must've been trying to put on a show for Haschwalth and pulled Uryu away the first chance he got. That's why they didn't resume fighting once landing.

[@josuearbizu7406]

[@animanco6833]

We better get a full episode of the vizards fighting Gerard. They’ll still get beaten but at least they prove they are not easy to take down

[@axelvinicius3365]

One episode for them and one for Byakuya, Zaraki, Soi Fon and Toshiro seems ideal, unless they add flashbacks, which would give Gerard a three episode long fight. They can do Askin's fight in one and a half episode tbf so it could mean 5 episodes combined for both fights. 3 episodes for all the next fights with Yhwach, and then we would still have 5 episodes for new plots involving Hanataro, Chad, Ganju, Nel, the Fullbringers and those in Seireitei (Izuru and Tetsuzaemon).

[@doginababyseat5127]

@@doginababyseat5127 I think she should be transported to the Askin fight just to tie up her character arc involving worshipping Yoruichi.

[@doginababyseat5127]

@ I never liked that idea. Askin is too busted with his immunity power and she wouldn’t even be able to show off her abilities after a couple of punches. She gets used tossed aside and used to anger Yoruichi more and be completely useless since she can’t change her riastu. I would rather her just get a good fight against Gerald where she shows off what she really is capable of since he basically is a giant punching bag that lets everyone show off their powers. Kubo abandoned that plot and it too late to care for it now.

[@MrGksarathy]

@@doginababyseat5127 She isn't doing much and against Gerard and feels even more shoehorned. At least there's a good character reason for her to be with Yoruichi, and she could try her own shunko or even Suzumebachi's sure kill ability on Askin.

Ryuken insisting on continuing to "hold the mantle of the last quincy" because Ishida is not ready yet, and despite Ryuken just wanting to be done with it all, makes a lot more sense now!

[@chairragtail807]

I haven’t read the manga, but what if (completely spitballing this) katagiri was somehow directly related to yhwach and therefore immune to auswahlen? If yhwach was for example Uryus grandfather on his mothers side then it would also be a cool storytelling contrast to soken ishida. Maybe only yhwachs first generation children are immune to auswahlen? I have no idea

[@permeus2nd]

44:00 one question I’ve always had that I don’t think have ever been covered is why is Shinji has a mask that looks Egyptian? When nothing else about his power set or theme fits with Egypt or the pharaohs? Shinji and Rose have my two favourite masks but while Rose kinda fits the theme with him been gothic and brooding Shinji dosnt also what’s Hatchi got as a link to the Aztecs or Mayans I could be Hawaiian and now that I’m thinking of it you could add New Zealand to the list as they all kinda have that look to the mysticism.

[@flameheadshero]

I’m always confused about the Antithesis theories because I believed that the ability can only affect two things that have already had something occur between them. But people seem to talk about it as if Uryu can just take anything that happens to him and stick it to someone else. If Uryu or his mother used the antithesis, wouldn’t the target be Yuha since he was the one using Auswhalen on them?

[@Auesis]

We don't really know the limits of Antithesis, it's just broken. He's already used it on a coin, so there's no reason to believe he can't just swap events with static objects. He could just make the air particles around him get targeted by Aueswhalen instead of himself or something equally busted.

[@borninthedark7915]

I love this video and I love the content, but here's my .02: Your favorite captain mentioned earlier that he doesn't believe that using evil methods to defeat evil doesn't make one evil - doesn't that apply to Yhwach as well? Hot Springs Homie even mentioned that his waters couldn't clean the blood / sins from Ichibei. When you're up against a perceived wrong and 'humiliating' circumstance that is counter to everything you've known, & fatal to your kind - the worst you can say here is that empirically, Yhwach adopted the tactics of the Soul Society 1000 years ago that exterminated them. Or the Soul Society of 200 years ago that murdered the Quincy peace force. Or the one from Uryu's youth that tortured and dissected Souken. Or the Soul Society of now that authorized Mayuri's experiments on the Quincy survivors. I think the biggest takeaway here is that if these are Uryu's powers *now* - in ten years, he'll be a true king of the Quincy - and that'd make him 'the Antithesis' to the Shinigami. There just aren't many powers that are capable enough to *move* a hollow hole outside their body. Uryu is a genius Doctor, loves stitching, & is the Quincy Emperor. If the blood from Yhwach running in Uryu's veins is still bent on eliminating this order of the world, we'll be revisiting this later whenever the new arc happens.

31:28 I think when Yhwach wrestled control over mimihagi and became the one that controlled everything was when he fell asleep. Them saying he is awake, just cause he defeated them, is Liltotto being a being a false narrator. The thing that defeated them is probably either the darkness from the SK or the balance reflecting misfortune on them.
