Analysis Mode Engage:

Bazz and Jugo train in the woods. Apparently Jugo is some mystically broken Quincy, of a sort that only comes every decade and that is systematically murdered by Quincy establishment. Okay...

Ritter Recruiter Hubert the Prick shows up, doing what his name describes. Bazz tries to apply, is turned down, and tries to fight Hubert. Ah, good ol' Bazz.

Yhwach shows up suddenly, pinning everyone but Hubert to the ground (Hubert takes a knee). As Hubert kisses ass, Yhwach announces he's looking for his right hand man. As Bazz climbs to his feet, proving without a doubt that he's a pure, unadulterated badass, Yhwach announces hes found his target: Jugram Haschwalth, his other half.

Now, about this whole other half thing. Methinks that Jugo might not have any inherent Quincy power at all, even up to present day. He's only ever used his sword skills, and this chapter implies that the sword is a physical construct rather than a typical Heilig Bogen. Instead, he shifts around the powers of Yhwach, so someone awake always has them. This type of individual was eliminated to slow or prevent the full rise of Yhwach, because, and get this, the Quincy don't want him in power. Given how he destroys basically everything, there is no reason to see him rise, so the ancient Quincy kill the broken ones to prevent this rise. This also explains why Jugo was in an abusive household with no real intervention; the town wanted him dead before he could become a threat.

All in all, a good chapter. Bazz was on point, Hubert was a brick, and I got a new crazy theory. My only complaint is the lack of delicious mutton chops on Young Yhwach.

That's a wrap!
