User blog comment:Xilinoc/Ch. 565 (Mangapanda is run by lazy barnacles)/@comment-26420452-20140122160104

First thing that I've got to say is : Xilinoc, it's cannon that Yhwach can now use Star Rocket Headbutt! I can know picture it without feeling ashamed.

This chapter answered one of my many questions : we now know that Yhwach is just a potential God (or a God-wannabe if you ask me). Also the apparent fact that he had control on the Quincies' powers is confirmed. Now the most important question that will be itching me for the weeks to come is how the Quincy-Hollow dichotomy came to be.

I reckon that Yamamoto failed to killed Yhwach because he somehow reverted to his senseless self and so the former pitied him. And I believe the Gotei 13 accelerated Yhwach's recovery through the Quincy genocide that they did two centuries ago.

Now I see what Shutara meant when comparing the Wandenreich and Aizen: Aizen had some sort of ideal about his world (which he mixed with his god-complex) while the Wandenreich is slaughtering everyone only so that a single individual doesn't turn back into a vegetable.

Something else to add: the Quincies disrupt doubly the soul balance. Not only do they annihilate Hollows with their Heilig Pfeils, they also impede the cycle because Quincy souls return to Yhwach.
