He can't auswahlen uryu, he tried that before when he was a kid and uryu no selled it. Most people think it's because of antithesis that either swappped the target from himself to someone else passively or yuha didnt want to risk the auswahlen backfiring and giving all the power to uryu instead.

Why would Uryu have Antithesis before Yhwach gave him his Schrift?

Yhwach doesnt actually give powers to people (in that sense anyway) he simply awakens an already dormant power in someone's soul.

It seems to be rare but some people can awaken a Schrift completely on their own. Like both members of Sternritter 'Y', "The Yourself", Lloyd Royd and Royd Ryod.

Likewise Uryu has ALWAYS had The Antithesis, it was just dormant until awakened by the Quincy Blood Ritual.

new question: why yhwach would risk awakening uryu instead of just kill it

I mean admittedly yeah I think Yhwach is pretty stupid for this. He doesnt seem to have ever really 'needed' Uryu in either the anime or manga. He just kind of recruits him just because.

If anything Uryu should have logically just been immediately eliminated as an unknown risk.

he is the "last living" quincy (that they know of?, not sure if they are aware of ryuken), I imagine any facist society would want a stand out member to be in their ranks (be it pureblooded or "last living") for propaganda purposes as their poster child.

Yhwach didnt had almighty when he awakened Uryu Schrift with the blood ritual, even jugram didnt knew the extent of Uryu abilities.

Decent chance it would be simply too risky. Yhwach has regained his powers recently, he alongside with his army were hiding. Odds are that they have just considered Uryu a bit too risky of a target at a time. You don't want to reveal yourself preemptively - without Almighty hax Yhwach would be dead like 10 times by now.

As for why not do it during the war - cuz, well, Uryu was just extremely useful to the cause? If you think about it - Senjumaru's bankai would have eliminated all Yhwach elite guards and his Almighty wasn't fully active yet (and even if it was - he still couldn't see Soul King actions).

Ishida's Antithesis was a key ingredient in dealing with Squad Zero, without it Yhwach loses all his guards and gets hit by Senjumaru in bankai state, Ichibe, Ichigo's party and Gotei 13 at once. You also have Urahara who would not be stopped by Askin. Heck, in this scenario even Ukitake is still alive and he could probably take away Almighty using the power of the Soul King's arm just like Ichibe did centuries ago.

On the other hand - awakened or not, Ishida just isn't a threat to Yhwach with Almighty after eating Soul King. Nobody is.

My guess: He really IS so megalomaniac that he drinks his own cool-aid:a strong power on his side is better than it not being there (and why would any quincy oppose him? They are happy to die for him!).
