Spoiler Alert !!!Spoilers ahead for Bleach: Thousand-Year Blood War Arc!

Bleach: Thousand-Year Blood War has become the highlight of the newer generation of anime as well as the older. It’s bringing in new Bleach as each episode goes by with a new improved version of its last arc. Tite Kubo oversees the production of the new adaptation with Studio Pierrot in order to eliminate any plotholes and to give fans a better experience which, so far, has been solid on their promise.

In the manga, the climax battle against Yhwach has fans puzzled as to how they got the upper hand against The Almighty. This leads people to believe Kubo must’ve gotten lazy with it but that might not be the case.

Uryu Ishida, the expert marksman he is, pierced the villain with a silver arrowhead that his father gave him after the efforts of Ichigo and Aizen were falling short of The Almighty he unleashed. Fans don’t believe how Yhwach couldn’t have predicted this, having the ability to see into the future, but there’s one theory that could explain it all.

The Almighty Cannot Predict What He Can’t See

It is initially a huge shock that Uryu Ishida, who wants to kill Yhwach, ends up joining his side and the Quincy Army in Bleach. The final arc had already set the stage for major events to happen so imagine our shock when the Gemischt Quincy whose intelligence surpasses most Bleach characters is actually on their side now and his successor.

Of course, fans trusted there was a motive behind it and they were right. In order to defeat Yhwach, he had to confront him and gain his trust before betraying him eventually.

His part in the downfall of Yhwach flipped the entire battle. He was given a silver arrowhead by his father and set off on his mission. The climax of the Thousand-Year Blood War Arc ends with a fight between Yhwach and Ichigo with his reluctant ally, Aizen. It’s here when Uryu shoots the antagonist and temporarily stops his power, allowing an opening for Ichigo. However, if The Almighty allows him to see the future, how did he not see this coming?

This theory suggests that Yhwach has to be able to physically see the person before they act. Since he hadn’t seen Uryu, who was already fighting Jugram Haschwalth, in a while, he hadn’t predicted him as an opponent, much less thought he could sneak in a shot.

Can This Explain Yhwach’s Demise?

The theory that The Almighty is limited by those Yhwach can physically see is a possible and logical explanation for it. After all, Tite Kubo has imposed limitations on seemingly broken abilities in Bleach before, like Sosuke Aizen’s Zanpakuto, Kyoka Suigetsu. It cannot apply Complete Hypnosis on anyone who hasn’t seen Kyoka Suigetsu’s Shikai.

Kubo has made it a point to not make anybody invincible, even Ichigo Kurosaki. He doesn’t exhibit impressive powers with every unique ability he’s inherited because he’s a man of growth. Yhwach would not be immune to this, despite being the Soul King’s son.
