Bleach 565: God like You


Zach Goodier

This week, we're taking a break from all the action, and we're turning back towards the most mysterious (and dangerous) figure in the arc, Yhwach/Juha Bach.  This delves more into his origin as a blind, deaf, immobile child that couldn't function at all.  However, he had the unique ability to gift pieces of his own soul to others to cure them of their afflictions and ailments. However, they would almost always die soon after, returning the pieces of his soul back, but with their experiences and strength being gifted back to him, eventually allowing him to function.  Unfortunately for him, he must keep taking souls in order to sustain himself.

This ultimately leads up to the present time in the arc, where we understand that one of the reasons the Quincy are conducting this war is to provide souls to Juha Bach, and to strengthen him even more.  However, There is still a great deal that hasn't been delved into regarding his character, but this is starting to paint a picture.  Regardless, there is still a lot of battles to be finished, and Ichigo still hasn't arrived.  However, there is more going on this chapter, specifically between Hashwald and Uryuu.  After finding out the nature of Juha Bach's power, Uryuu starts to see the position he has gotten himself into, and how he will proceed should be interesting in the coming chapters.
