Yhwach’s Arrival in Bleach

Yhwach, who is one of the most important characters, appears in Bleach Chapter 484, titled The Buckbeard. Interestingly, he was called The Buckbeard before his real name was revealed in the Thousand-Year Blood War Arc. Yhwach lost the battle to Captain-Commander Genryusai Shigekuni Yamamoto almost a thousand years ago. After facing defeat, Yhwach was sealed. In the Quincy folklore, it is believed that Yhwach was essentially sealed for 900 years. However, after 900 years, he regains his pulse, after another 90 years, he gets his intellect back, and after nine more years, he takes the powers of all impure Quincy and fuses them with his body. After 1000 years, he returns and wastes no time in revealing that he wants to devastate the Soul Society. Yamamoto, indeed, regrets not killing Yhwach during their last battle.

Yhwach’s Mysterious Personality

Yhwach is the son of the Soul King, the father of the Quincy clan, and the king of the Wandenreich. He is also called The Almighty because, in Bleach, he is a crazy overpowered character. Yhwach possesses an enigmatic and towering personality. Whenever he appears in a manga panel, Bleach creator Tite Kubo would make ample space to stress how prominent Yhwach is. It will be interesting to see how the Bleach: Thousand-Year Blood War anime will showcase Yhwach in terms of screen space. Coming back to his personality, Yhwach has an overwhelming aura that always puts him at the center of attention. He says he loves peace but at the same time, he wants to start a massive war and destroy Soul Society. Yhwach, as a villain, is proactive from the beginning and is always ready to get his hands dirty by fighting his enemies on the battlefield. Now, let’s have a look at his powers and abilities.

Yhwach’s Powers and Abilities

The Almighty

Yhwach possesses the power of A, which is the Almighty or All-Knowing. He can see everything from the present into the far distant future. Yhwach can see multiple futures at the same time and can fight back all possibilities that might come up during a battle. This ability alone makes him formidable against his opponents. The Almighty ability allows Yhwach to consume other beings by merely touching them. He can absorb their energy and powers and contain their essence in his mighty body.

Massive Spiritual Pressure or Reiatsu

The king of Wandenreich possesses immense spiritual pressure. Yhwach is the only Quincy who could snatch Yamamoto’s Bankai because he could match Yamamoto’s spiritual pressure. After Yhwach absorbs the Soul King, his spiritual pressure rises tremendously. Using the increased spiritual pressure, he can destroy things and structures in an instant. The spiritual pressure gives him the power to build barriers that can take on attacks from captains. Yhwach’s fusion with the Soul King is powerful enough for him to combine the three worlds of Hueco Mundo, Soul Society, and the World of the Living, which is his ultimate goal in Bleach: Thousand-Year Blood War.

Soul Distribution Power

The final villain of Bleach: Thousand-Year Blood War was born with the unique ability to distribute a part of his soul to another by touching them. When Yhwach distributes his soul, he can heal the wounds of the receiver. However, the person who is healed by Yhwach using the soul distribution gets their lifespan reduced drastically. After the person dies, the soul fragments return to Yhwach. The Soul Distribution Power also allows Yhwach to share his spirit with others. There is a ritual where the person has to drink Yhwach’s blood to get a part of his spirit. If he can give his soul fragments, the mighty villain of Bleach: Thousand-Year Blood War can also forcibly take them back.

Auswählen

Yhwach can use the Auswählen technique to create large columns of light, and if a Quincy ends up near a column, their powers are stripped away. He can take the powers of a Quincy that he deems unnecessary and transfer them to someone he deems fit. The Quincy whose power is taken away merely perishes. This powerful ability ensures that Yhwach can command the position of the father of all Quincy. Yhwach’s relationship with the Quincy is strange because he treats them like his children but at the same time, he will not blink an eye if he has to sacrifice them.

Yhwach’s Soul King Powers

After he absorbs the Soul King and Mimihagi (the Soul King’s right hand), he becomes the owner of a wide array of new powers. He can manufacture a giant black barrier using his fingertip. Yhwach can open and enter a portal and cover a large amount of distance in an instant. He has better control over Reishi and can even manipulate it, allowing the Quincy clan to use the atmosphere to their advantage against their enemies. Post-fusion, he has gained control over physical matter and can mutate things. He can also build a fortress in a matter of seconds. Looking at how overpowered Yhwach is, Ichigo and the rest have a monumental challenge before them in the Bleach: Thousand-Year Blood War anime.
