The first episode of Bleach Thousand Year Blood War is out now titled “A”. The first half of the episode is only the precap of the final episode of Part 2. Yhwach finally regains his true powers in the episode and gets back his vision to see the forthcoming events.
The true power of Yhwach - The Almighty
Yhwach has superhuman strength with the ability of the Omni-precognition abilities of the Almighty whose ability it is to see all moves in advance thus putting him at an advantage. He has the power slightly more impressive than the ability to view all future timelines and outcomes as well as past timelines and outcomes, at the user’s command The Almighty manipulates the future to the user’s perception.
Yhwach insists that The Almighty is about changing the future as one wants it with a snap of his fingers He uses this power by putting his enemies wherever he wants and then surprises them by attacking them before they can respond. He can also charismatic attack any defense and countermeasure they use to guard themselves so that he can attack them. With this power, Yhwach defeats Ichibe by beheading his head and makes up his way to kill the Soul King.
“There is no room for comprehension or countermeasures against my power. All that I see and know is powerless against me.” – Yhwach
Ishida Defeats Senjumaru
Senjumaru Shutaru battles with Ishida Uryu and with the power of the awakened powers of Yhwach, Ishida making use of his Stern Ritter powers defeats Senjumaru by reversing her Bankai “Shatatsu Karagara Shigarami-no-Tsuji” to herself by making the curtains captured and stabbing her with his Quincy arrow.
“On my honor as a Quincy, I will kill you” – Uryu Ishida
However, it cannot be assumed that Senjumaru is dead as the Squad Zero members are said to be immortal and can be revived in some way Ichibe gets revived when someone calls up his name and by the power of the utterer, his body gets revived shortly. Senjumaru may also have some way to be revived.
Ichigo and the others get to know that Squad Zero has been defeated by Yhwach and his retainers. Ichibe gets revived after Ichigo calls up for his name and asks Ichigo to stop Yhwach until he regains his power and before Yhwach kills Soul King.
Who is the Soul King?
The Soul King, who is known as “Reio” is supposed to be the actual ruler of the Soul Society, who is protected by the Royal Guard – Squad Zero Soul reapers. Soul King is a divine being who has been confined by the Shinigami and his presence is linked to the equilibrium of Soul Society, the Human World, and even Hueco Mundo. It should also be noted that Yhwach is the Soul King’s son.
The duty of the Soul King is to ensure that no realm acquires any problem and this is very important when it comes to the function of the Soul Cycle. Of course, he is best known for his connection to the concept of the “flow of souls” which is required in order for the human world and the Soul Society to maintain balance.
First Appearance of Aizen in the Bleach Thousand Year Blood War Part 3
By analysing how bad the situation is going on Kyoraku Shunsui meets Aizen Sosuke who is currently imprisoned under the Soul Society. Ichigo, Yoruichi, Inonue, and others rush up to save Soul King from Yhwach. At the end of the episode, Yhwach reaches up to the Royal Palace where Soul Society is and stabs him with his sword.
If the Soul King is dead, then the balance between the three worlds would become inappropriate and may disappear and be destroyed as said by Ichibe. Gotei 13 Captains of the Soul Society gears up to fight the Quincy Soldiers to protect Seireitei.
