So Kubo actually did it and just admitted his stupid, overpowered, broke as fuck villain was god. This is was so dumb, but just in case anyone had a small amount of respect left for Bach then we also learn that deep down a part of his soul is the idiotic luchador.
I don't even know what's is dumber, this chapter or the last one. The last one managed to spit all over Bleach lore with Renji powering up because someone told him the name of his zanpakuto, rather than learning the name being a sign of respect between him and his zanpakuto, but this chapter was almost baffling in its desire to make Bach the most broken villain yet.
Well they're both horrible, but this chapter is a good example of the horrible things that happens when Kubo actually tries to provide answers to things.
no offense but this what an uneducated person makes of the current chapter.
let's take a look at the chapter in an educated way-
We can say that Yhwach has some blue and orange morality given that people will still follow him even if he kills them for no reason.
The concept Kubo is using here is a misture of Buddhism and Christianism twisted by 1984 Estasian facism.
He took from Buddhism the circle of death and reincarnation and personified it in someone who gives power (karma) to the living and who regains that power (karma) in an increased fashion when they die. Furthermore, in his basic state of complete disconnection from the world, Yhwach is essencially an enlighted being above the realms of the world.
In Christianity he borrowed the theme of the Quincies and the concept of a messianic figure of divine origin who can do miracles to those who follow him, that and the fact that by believing and following him you can attain some form of salvation and afterlife as part of a greater being.
The subversion of the above came by mixing both good ideologies with a dystopian theme of cult to death, essencially an extremist form of facist devotion when ones life only has any meaning as a tool for his leader and dying in any way that serves him would be considered an honor. Bear in mind that such ideology never came to exist outside of Orwellian literature as the closest real life thing we had were Imperial Japanese fanatics who would commit mass murder and mass suicide in the name of their country and emperor but their honor was devoted to protect their homeland and way of life instead of worshiping death as servitude.
