Actually, I could kind of see that happening, Will, only it wouldn't be quite that long. Yhwach's last thoughts are as good a time as any to reveal his backstory, and there's quite a bit to reveal. Of course, I'd prefer it if Kubo did so prior so it doesn't feel forced and we can perhaps feel some empathy/sorrow for him, but the deathbed revelation has been a trademark of storytelling for some time now.
