2024-10-12 20:24:25 +0000 UTCIn ep 24 Yhwach said: I can hear the cries of the souls that fear death (because when a quincy dies Yhwach absorbs his soul back, like we saw in ep 18)

2024-10-12 20:21:05 +0000 UTCTidbits if you’re interested: The most important thing in this cour is that it's pulling many things that were implied or outright stated in Can't Fear You Own World (CFYOW BLEACH’s Canon Light Novels) The Soul King Andyeus was a being like what you see with the Hogyoku transformation. He was the first being in the primorial world to be like a case with Ichigo. He had all the powers and aspects of souls from the 3 realms, and like you saw in the last cour with Ichigos training in the Irazu Sando with Ichibei allows Ichigo to see the eternal memories of the "original world" The original world will continue to be a big point of conflict. As the story of Bleach is a conflict of religions. The Shinigami are representations of Shinto-Buddhsit-Daoist elements of philosophy/religion. The Quincies represent the Western view of the world. I.e Gnosticism/Abrahamic religion. It's why the Quincies also have a Nazi theme to them as well if you didn't already notice. The whole point of this arc is that Yhwach wants the world to be like what you saw in the flashbacks in this episode. That primorial world that cosmic ontological ocean of existence and soul. No boundaries (different worlds and laws) and thus no life or death. Which means no pain or suffering. Ywach wants the world created by the ancestors to the 5 grand royal families to be severed and destroyed since it's the source of what he views as evil, pain, suffering and sin. This makes sense when you look at the world in Bleach. You have 3 realms all living in fear of death. To understand fully, you have to do literary analysis and look at Eastern Philosophy In the East, specifically in terms of Buddhism, the primary struggle facing people is the cultivation of self and freeing themselves from the cycle of samsara. Those who selfishly pursue things will be forced to endlessly reincarnate and thus, continue to experience "dukka"(suffering) and "anatta" (impermance) until they let go of the five aggregates of Buddhism. In Confucianism, You have a humanist centered philosophy, that espouses, the flourishing of society as being the best good. Anything deviating from this or the virtues of a enlightened individual in society leads to the imbalance and gives the impression of "Evil". that is Specifically to "way of the gentlemen" are benevolence (ren 1), righteousness (yi f&), ritual propriety (li i), wisdom (zhi E), and trustworthiness (xin 15). However, in Shintoism, there is a struggle and balancing of kegare ("pollution" or "impurity"), while ensuring harae ("purity"). Which contradicts some Buddhist ideas of the non-self(atman) In Daoism, you have the Cosmic Yin and Yang. Which is Dialectical monism, also known as dualistic monism. This is not to be confused with just monism(the idea that reality is built on things of a material substance, like atomism). This is a special case of ontology (study of being) where the forces represent themselves, as perceptions in the realm of the minds, not substantive nature. It's also merely an illusion like Buddhism. In Daoism, they practice "wu wei" and forms of partaking in Dao(or Tao) there is human dao, natural dao and great dao. But tying back to Bleach in simple terms. Ywach (Juha Bach) is trying to create the original world which is like the Western interpretation of Heaven or an eternal persistent world. This should make thematic sense, since Juha Bach is basically a allusion to the Abrahamic god. He has the Messiah theme and since he's the son of the "Soul King" this is similar to the Holy Trinity. The Soul reapers are trying to maintain the cycle of Samara from Buddhism which is responsible for the wheel of life, death and reincarnation. It’s a battle for the best possible worlds
