The Tetragrammaton יהוה "YHWH" ends in the letter ה (he), the {w|voiceless glottal fricative} [h] of Hebrew.

The English forms Yahweh or Yehowah have the same final fricative.

Allowing for terminal vowel reduction, ユーハバッハ "Yuhabahha" approximates the form Yehowah, again with the same final fricative.

Note that the transliteration "Jehovah" is Latin, and therefore is pronounced "yay-hoe-wah," not "jeh-hoe-vah" as many English speakers incorrectly do.

As the Quincy are German, the "ch" in Yhwach is not the {w|voiceless velar stop} [k] of English, but the {w|voiceless palatal fricative} (very soft [ch]) or ach-Laut of German (as opposed to the {w|voiceless palatal fricative} [x] ich-Laut – "ch" is pronounced differently for different vowels in German). To an English speaker, it sounds almost identical to [h].

The same is seen in the German pronunciation of Bach: much closer to "Bah" than to "Bock."

So Kubo is using [ch] correctly – not a matter of Hebrew, but of German orthography.
