User blog comment:Mrlmm0605/Let's Talk Bleach! - Part 4: Yhwach/@comment-44061-20150622142140

It is no secret I rarely come onto blogs but this one was brought to my attention and at first i thought, "oh another long rant about nothing". Given a chance i read on a found a well thought-out commentary on bleach and its connection real life points.

We have covered similar points in the podcasts and its a good point to make. Not delving too much into the religious aspects I tend to point out the fact that bach is largely given god status very recently. Prior to that he was a powerful being given god like status by his followers. In that vein from what we have seen and know of him bach doesnt fit the description of a typical god but more like that of a parasite feeding on a host. His power comes from sharing his soul with others and then taking it back to gain more power at the expense of the recipient. In this instance its the Quincy he "created" and apparently now everyone before his "Ascension". Though even after the absorption of the Soul King I cant shake the feeling he is biting off more then he can chew. So far we have seen little drawback for the level of power he commands and now with even more power It seems an additional weight is placed up on his proverbial shoulders. There is obviously context we are missing but what is certain is that "Gods" by their nature are conceptual beings often having power given to them by the belief of those they worship or having naturally existed as the personification of some concept or idea given form. Bach is neither, as stated previously he is for all purposes akin to a parasite and in this instance a parasite playing god. Regardless of the power he gains he isnt one. He is more typical of your tyrant-dictator who typically have many weaknesses hanging out in the open, ripe for exploitation. We need to remember he wasnt born to such power, he took it, The Almighty may allow him to understand and counter anothers power. But thats on the lower level people can one ever truly understand a god. Plus real gods cant be killed in any meaningful way, so if we are to assume the Soul King was such a being, isnt it quite odd that nothing was done to stop bach before any of this or even when he came into its presence? Just something to think about within the story.
