This has been a theory that I have been pondering for awhile, but this week's chapter made more of a possibility. So what exactly is the relationship between Ywatch and Yamamoto? Here's what we know:


 * Around 1,000 years ago, Ywatch and Yamamoto fought and the result was Yamamoto failed to kill Ywatch.


 * According to Quincy lore, Ywatch was sealed 999 years ago.


 * Ywatch killed Yamamoto.

So what does this all mean? Why did Yamamoto, why for all intensive purposes, was the most powerful Shinigami to ever live fail to kill a human being? My theory isn't so much Yamamoto couldn't kill Ywatch, but rather he didn't want to kill Ywatch, and I believe this is because Ywatch and Yamamoto were brothers. Another one of my theories has been that Shinigami and Quincy were creations of the Soul King, in order to be foils to each other, but at the same time maintain balance. At some point Ywatch and Yamamoto had a falling out and the end result was chaos around the serieti and Yamamoto sealing Bach. Further more, I believe the real reason behind the Quincy slaughter was to prevent Bach from returning to power. According to the latest chapter, Ywatch regained his mind about 90 years ago, so in other words they failed.

Tell me what you guys think.
