As a devoted fan with over a decade of Bleach under my belt, I can confidently say that the recent unveiling of Yhwach’s true power has sent shockwaves through the fandom. The Almighty, a godlike ability with future sight and manipulation capabilities, is unlike anything we’ve ever seen in the series. It’s as if Kubo-sensei decided to take our collective breath away and then some!


The long-awaited clash between Captain Ichibe Hyosube of Squad 0 and the Quincy King Yhwach, known as “Bleach: Thousand-Year Blood War,” has unveiled its climactic showdown. In what seemed like an ancient Shinigami’s victory over the king, he suddenly opens his eyes, displaying the Almighty’s power in full force and turning the tables against Ichibe, moving him closer to his ultimate goal. Now it falls upon Ichigo and the Gotei 13 to confront the Quincy elite and the king, but with the king’s power reawakened, the fate of all three realms appears grim.

As a gaming enthusiast immersed in the world of Bleach, let me tell you, Yhwach’s true power is unlike anything I’ve ever encountered before. It’s a force that transcends understanding and leaves no room for defense or counterattack. Here’s what you should know about his Almighty power.

The Power of a God, The Almighty

After 9 Years, He Regains his Strength

A millennium ago, following a brutal conflict with the Shinigami, the Quincy realm of Licht Reich was left in ruins. The Quincy King fell into a deep sleep as a means of healing. Due to the relentless persecution by the Shinigami, many Quincy were annihilated, leaving only a handful of families like Kurosaki and Ishida still standing. The faithful followers of the king concealed themselves in the darkness, establishing a new kingdom called Wandenreich. In this hidden realm, they quietly bided their time, waiting for an opportunity to resurface. They composed a prophecy, a hymn foretelling the return of their father and ruler: The Kaiser Gesang.

“The confined Quincy King…

Regains his pulse after 900 years.

His mind after 90 years.

His strength after 9 years.

And the world… in 9 days.”

Approximately nine years ago, the Quincy King, Quincy’s monarch, awoke from a long slumber. To reclaim his power, he conducted the Auswählen – a powerful ritual that compels him to extract energy forcefully from Quincies he deems unfit or tainted. In this instance, he ended the lives of Masaki Kurosaki, who was infused with Hollow spiritual pressure, and Kanae Katagiri, a hybrid Quincy and Uryuu Ishida’s mother. This act initiated his recovery process, culminating in him opening his eyes once more after nine years, thus unlocking his ultimate ability: The Almighty.

Yhwach possesses the ability to foresee everything that lies ahead in time. It’s as if he perceives countless possibilities all at once, much like observing countless grains of sand. This omniscience about the future grants him unparalleled adaptability, enabling him to set traps where his adversaries will be, and to prepare counter-countermeasures, along with utilizing all his abilities effectively. Any ability he foresees being used against him in the future is rendered ineffective. He can even alter the future to his advantage, wielding the true might of The Almighty.

“I could not have imagined…That I could see so much with my eyes closed”

As a gamer, I find myself in a world where the rules of time are twisted by the Quincy King’s Future Acausality. If a future holds my demise, he can rewrite it to save me. If there’s a power that may overthrow him, he can dismantle it before it even manifests. The Almighty empowers Yhwach with godlike abilities, making him nearly invincible since there’s no defense, understanding, or countermeasure against his omnipotence. Standing tall as the Quincy King, The Almighty, he rules supreme.

As a gamer, I’d rephrase it like this: For nine long years, I had to bide my time, gathering strength and controlling my power, for if I hadn’t, it would have spiraled out of control, stripping my Sternritter comrades of their might. But now, the grandeur within me has been awakened, making me the most powerful entity in the realm of Bleach. With absolute omnipotence, I can peer into and reshape the future to always guarantee my triumph over the Shinigami and Soul Society. After defeating Squad 0, only Ichigo and the Gotei 13 stand between me and the conquest of this world after nine days.
