Really great history chapter. Yhwach's purpose really makes more sense now. Some of you have already asked this but it makes me wonder what he really is. By definition, Quincies are humans who can absorb reishi and he doesn't do that. His powers are instead very Fullbringer-esque.

I felt like an idiot when Jugram said he suspected that Uryu only joined them to avenge his mother. Why the hell didn't I think of that? I suspected that he was a double agent and he hadn't really joined the Wandereich but I never even thought of his mother.

The scary thing is that no matter what side wins or loses or how many they lose, Yhwach still wins. The only way he loses is if the remaining Sternritter and the Gotei 13 become allies instead of enemies. If they all stop killing each other he's gonna revert to his blind, deaf, and mute state again.
