Talk:Yhwach

Strategist
Should we say that Yhwach is a master strategist since he had techniques and tactics developed to counter everything the Shinigami threw at his forces? 'Cause at this point, it's getting at Aizen level of "I have a plan for freaking everything down to the number of steps you'll walk."


 * Frankly, Yhwach hasn't done much in the way of any actual planning. Even in this chapter, he is remarking that his Sternritter are the ones getting all hot and bothered about their opponents getting Bankai back. I mean, the Wandenreich's strategy these past two invasions has amounted to "Teehee! We're already inside your house!" Mohrpheus   (Talk)  13:13, October 23, 2013 (UTC)


 * I would say no as well, his strategy is little more then basic common sense, doesnt seem like there was much thought put into any of the "surprise" moments. Its obvious that if u would lose one way to fight you would find another. Mohrp is right the only real strategy they really had was the hide in the shadows one.--

Quincy Spell Master
Because Royd was using Yhwach's memories and personality, wouldn't that make Yhwach a Spell Master too? SilverRain (talk) 00:04, January 7, 2014 (UTC)


 * I'm not sure how that makes sense. Royd was copying Yhwach's personality, memories, and appearance, but not his skillset or powers. As likely as it is that Yhwach is a master of Quincy spells, Royd being one while copying pretty much everything that isn't his powers doesn't make him one.--Xilinoc (talk) 00:54, January 7, 2014 (UTC)


 * I get what you are saying. My reasoning is that Royd copied Yhwach's memories, so he would've copied the memories of how to use those techniques. But again, I get what you're saying SilverRain (talk) 00:59, January 7, 2014 (UTC)


 * Royd copies memories and personality, it was Loyd, his brother, who copied powers, and he was the one who disguised as Zaraki.

Personality Update Error
Would have fixed it if the page werent protected, but there is a weird bit in the personality section that was added today. End of the third sentence of second paragraph, it says something about zangetsu form and a cite to this weeks chapter, but it is really out of place. --SternRitterÄs (talk) 13:31, January 22, 2014 (UTC) Thank you Salubri for fixing the weirdness. --SternRitterÄs (talk) 13:46, January 22, 2014 (UTC)


 * no problem--

Correct english pronunciation
This may not be totally relevant to the article, but I digress. After this week's chapter, I finally figured out how to correctly pronounce Yhwach's name in english. Yhwach is named after the Hebrew god often mispronounced or interpreted as Yahweh. The one of the names of of the Hebrew god is YHWH, which is pronounced as YO-VA. The reason I believe this is that the Romanji pronunciation is almost identical to the Hebrew pronunciation. Take a listen for yourselves if you care to. Again I don't know how relevant this is to the article, but at least we can tell people now. -- 16:43, January 22, 2014 (UTC)

Swordsman level
Expert or Master Swordsman He was able to cut ichigo and hold his own.
 * Yeah, he was able to cut Ichigo, but that alone isn't really enough to prove his level. I mean, he's over 1,000 years old, but until we actually see him fight more, his level's staying as is.

Ichigo an "Impure" Quincy...?
I might stand corrected, but isn't Ichigo also an impure Quincy along with Uryū? It's mentioned in the Wiki page that only Uryū was the only mixed-blood Quincy who survived the "impure Quncy extermination", but Ichigo is also partly Quincy as well. I may be wrong if there was an occurrence that Misaki lost her powers before she and Isshin conceived Ichigo, but if this isn't the case, then shouldn't Kurosaki-kun be mentioned with Uryū in that portion of the page? Just an inquiry, but I thought I'd bring it up anyway.

 * While Ichigo is, by definition, a Gemischt Quincy like Uryū, Yhwach failed to mention him in his speech to Uryū about his power-stealing bonanza. I'm not sure why; at the moment, it seems like a plot hole, since Yhwach knows that Masaki is Ichigo's mother and would likely know that his father isn't a Quincy, but since there isn't any confirmation on why Ichigo didn't also lose his powers or if Yhwach even targeted him, it sort of goes against the rules here to mention him in that section since, once again, Yhwach didn't mention him. Hope that helps. --Xilinoc (talk) 19:55, April 4, 2014 (UTC)

That makes sense. Thanks for the clarification!

 * No problem at all. This seems to have been resolved, so I'll close this discussion.--Xilinoc (talk) 22:04, April 7, 2014 (UTC)

Talk with Aizen
I'm not sure if this was brought up, although I didn't see it on any of the archived talk pages. When Yhwach talked with Aizen, he mentioned losing track of time. A lot of the manga readers I used to use don't work now (for me at least) although the one I did look up said that Aizen disrupted his sense of time while he was down there. I think that it should be mentioned at the very least that Aizen delayed Yhwach, although the reasons why are purely speculation (Aizen grew a heart, he's trying to help, he wanted Yhwach to stay down there forever and grow old together, etc...) Any thoughts? Or was this already settled? Savalric (talk) 21:52, May 26, 2014 (UTC)
 * Okay, I laughed a bit at the "he wanted Yhwach to stay down there forever and grow old together"..... Anyway, using cnet's 514 translation, we know Aizen did something to mess with Yhwach's sense of time, we just don't know what he did. We do have that listed, however (see the paragraph starting "Emerging mostly unharmed...")
 * Alright, never mind then, for some reason, I didn't think through where the content should be placed so didn't see that mentioned. (I only read up until Ywhach first left, and forgot he didn't bring it up until later. Savalric (talk) 18:21, May 31, 2014 (UTC)
