https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hj0VqBa60Sg I guess Yhwach has a theme song now.

At any rate, I totally called The Almighty (with about a dozen or so other people). Makes sense, considering that the words "Saint" and "Holy" are in just about every damned ability name the Wandenreich has. Hell, I'm surprised that it wasn't called the Sanktreich at this point.

After a few straight chapters of getting kicked around, it's no surprise that Yhwach had a trick up his sleeve. Well, maybe not up his sleeve. I don't think it'd fit there.

The one thing that kind of proves to be Ichibe's downfall is the sheer absoluteness of his Zanpakuto. One slash from Ichimonji, and you're screwed. One slash from Shirafude Ichimonji, and you're even more screwed. But what happens when you aren't screwed? At that point, the weapon is no longer a threat. It either does its job or it doesn't, and if it fails, then Ichibe is out of luck, because that was his ace.
