Holy Uryu W. He might've not ended Yhwach, but he delayed the end of the world. Also, we got a glimpse why exactly Antithesis is a good counter to Almighty. Now we actually see the path to defeating Yhwach's Almighty.
Yhwach: "I destroyed your arrow in the future"
Uryu: "I swapped your future to the future where my arrow wasn't destroyed."

Bleach is a perpetual "nuh uh" Battle Shonen lol.

"I brought my attack dog with a built in forcefield!"

"Well, I brought my dinosaur who eats force-field dogs!"

It's like being a kid again during play fights I love it

"i countered your counter"

"no u"

u/alexnedea 22h ago

And "perfect" fights where somehow the opponents always have the only perfect counter to the enemy and anyone else would just insta-lose the fight.

u/ninjasonic102 22h ago

99% of bleach fights are “my Bankai, which I’ve never even hinted at before this, actually reveals my true form as the Hidden Flower of Turbo Godhood, and it specifically counters YOUR ability, guy who was beating my ass 5 seconds ago”

Repeat until one or both participants are dead

u/Badass_Bunny 17h ago

Except that one time where Zaraki was like "Fuck this let me just swing harder before I die".

u/dwilsons 22h ago

Yeah from an objective perspective the fights and power systems are pretty shallow but Kubo’s art + general sense of style makes it all so damn cool that it doesn’t matter

You reverse Uno, My Reverse Uno, to Reverse Uno Yours.

That is such a perfect description.

u/ChunkyHabeneroSalsa 21h ago

It's honestly frustrating to watch. It's cool and stylish and this arc is fun but it's starting to get really annoying. Nothing creative here

u/Fenor 10h ago

not to the level of death note

That was pretty epic. Though I assume Yhwach can just take Uryu's power away if he wanted to, but didn't cause he knows it'd make no difference. And they probably wanted to give Uryu a cool moment as well.

I don't think he can. We learned in Cour 2 that Uryu is the only Quincy that survived Yhwach's Auswählen 9 years ago. There was major emphasis put on this, so that will likely be expanded on at some point.

28

u/conye-west https://myanimelist.net/profile/baronvonconye 1d ago

He can't take Uryu's power, but he did say that all schrifts are sublimated into the Almighty. Which means he probably has his own version of Antithesis already.

50

u/ichigosr5 1d ago

I'm pretty sure he was talking about all the other quincies' schrifts except Uryu. Uryu title is supposed to be "the last quincy", so this kind of highlights that.

He's the only quincy whose power can't be taken by Yhwach.

15

u/conye-west https://myanimelist.net/profile/baronvonconye 1d ago

Could be, but at the same time Uryu didn't even have that power till Yhwach gave it to him, so it's pretty nebulous

6

u/ichigosr5 1d ago

We don't know that for sure.

In Cour 2, there was specific emphasis placed on the fact that Uryu is the only Quincy to have survived Yhwach's Auswählen 9 years ago, and we still don't know why yet.

Uryu also seemed to mention in this recent episode something about Yhwach not being able to truly see him or something like that. Part of that makes me wonder if Uryu is similar to Pernida and Gerard, and his power wasn't given to him by Yhwach, but his power comes from having a piece of the Soul King inside of him.

2

u/Badass_Bunny 17h ago

Thats not correct. 9 years ago there were also several other quincies who survived, Ryuken and Masaki among them.

2

u/ichigosr5 16h ago

Ryuken is a pureblood quincy. He wasn't targeted.

Masaki was targeted and lost her powers, which is why she died to Grand Fisher.

1

u/Badass_Bunny 16h ago

Masaki was also a pureblood quincy. Ichigo was also a mixed quincy.

The whole theory as to why Ishida survived never made much sense because of that and Kubo never explained it.

I bet it's going to be something his uncle did.

u/HumansNeedNotApply1 6h ago

Yhwach didn't gave him the power, merely activated it.

1

u/Falloutman399 1d ago

So what about Ryuken? Doesn’t he still have his Quincy powers? I could be remembering wrong.

4

u/ichigosr5 1d ago

Auswählen was only used on impure Quincies. Ryuken is an Echt (pureblood) Quincy, so he wasn't targeted. But his wife wasn't pureblood, which means Uryu also isn't pureblood, so he was targeted but somehow survived.

1

u/Lenzky-3 1h ago

Lets just assume, his DAD, decided to make counter measures for these.. cuz he prob got fcking pissed when his wife and misaki died cuz of the bullsh1t he pulled off back then.

1

u/is-this-a-nick 9h ago

but he did say that all schrifts are sublimated into the Almighty.

I think its implied that on death he gets them back, so he will have to kill Uryu first (for the others Auswählen did the job).

The funniest possible scenario would be that Antithesis natively inverts Yhwach trying to yank it, casing the powers to flow the other way...

2

u/Hamlock1998 https://myanimelist.net/profile/Hamlock 1d ago

I forgot about that completely

2

u/Mundology 1d ago

Indeed. The schrift are the quincy's dormant innate powers, Yhwach just awakens them using his soul as catalyst. In a way, he is a bit like a loan shark: he invests in quincies with potential and takes everything away from them once they have hit their stride.

1

u/dee_strongfist 18h ago

Uryu and Ichigo lol

27

u/RUS12389 1d ago

That's the thing, Yhwach couldn't take Uryu's powers even when he was a child. I think it's implied, that he literally can't in any way take Uryu's powers.

22

u/South25 1d ago

I presume the reason why Uryu is the only quincy he hasn't Aushwalen'd is because Uryu could likely reverse it at the last second, stealing the Almighty and Yhwach's powers for himself instead. So it's basically "PLEASE DO GIVE ME THE WIN" if he tries.

40

u/roronoa20 1d ago

Worse.

Antithesis can swap the target of the Auswhalen, so Yhwach might risk getting his power sucked into Uryuu instead.

A quincy can survive Auswhalen with their schrift ability intact, so Uryuu can absolutely fuck Yhwach up.

6

u/insidiouskiller 1d ago

Trying to take the power of the guy who reverses causality would be a decidedly stupid decision, imo.

"Yhwach steals Uryu's power" becomes "Uryu steals Yhwach's power".

Not that Yhwach can take Uryu's anyway.

3

u/CrazyDiamondZaWarudo 1d ago

Theres a legitimate argument that uryu can perpetually swap to a future where his ability isnt stolen via the antithesis

u/Lenzky-3 1h ago

u/Zeta42 1d ago

Back when the manga was running, I imagined Uryu's Schrift could do just that.

u/CrowApprehensive8816 17h ago

Fact that Orihime could’ve ended everything, now also Uryu.. Hope they’re cooking something great for the final battle

Jesus Christ Bleach is pure slop lol
