Analysis mode ENGAGE!

I only just came down from the laugh high from last week.

Okay, so Ichigo is getting rekt by Yhwach, who has gone full on megalomaniac. In the snippets we see of the fight this chapter he goes from actually trying to being held by his face while Yhwach drinks his Quincyness.

The main bit of the chapter is Uryū v. Jugo, which is odd as nothing much happens. We find out that Jugo's Schrift is B - the Bet you didn't see this coming Balance, which allows him to convert good fortune to an equal level of bad fortune and vice versa. He also uses The Balance to redirect all of his own bad juju to his Freund Schild, effectively nullifying his Schrift's negative implications on himself. Uryū counters with his Schrift, A - the Antithesis: this ability is essentially the opposite of The Almighty in that it involves past alteration. Uryū can now take anything that has occurred and basically invert it. He takes his wounds and unwounds them while turning Jugo's uninjured state and turning it into a bloodsplosion. Unfortunately, Jugo reverses this reversal with The Balance essentially creating an infinite loop of both Quincy warriors facing and nullifying grievous wounds. Jugo states that Uryū's Schrift might just be the perfect counter to The Almighty before exclaiming that against him, it's basically useless. Jugo truly doesn't afraid of anything.

This chapter is interesting in that nothing happens during the bulk of it. Sure, we learn and/or confirm a couple Schrifts, but everything stays status quo. We move away from the main Ichogo v. Yhwach event, but as Xil said it'd probably be boring watching Ichigo get bodied like a noob playing Olimar in Sm4sh all chapter. Someone or something needs to intervene in these fights before they stagnate. MAybe time for #BestDadCombo? Also, where are Lille and Gerard?

That's a tentative wrap!
