There exist a finite souls in the universe.
33.33% in the living world.
33.33% in soul society
33.33% in hueco mundo
The Soul King although sometimes mentioned as God it has actually never been refered as God. Nor does it seem the Soul King is omnipotent or omnipresent. It does have precognition though.
The Soul King is probably just a 'container' into wich souls get absorbed when they 'die' and are then redirected to the correct world, heaven(soul society), or hades(hueco mundo)
to restore the balance between souls.
Another theory is that the Soul King gives only a part of his soul to each Shinigami who then receive powers from him. When the Shinigami dies their soul return to the soul King to be redistributed.
Ywach (from Hebrew bible YHWH) is the son of the Soul King. Ywach is the ruler of the human world. He also has the ability to share his soul and they return again when the soul dies.
Barraggan is the King of Hueco Mundo. He has the weak version of the power to manipulate time. The origins of Barragan are uknown, but as he seems relitively weak compared to Ywach and the Soul King he could have been just a normal soul that gained immense power through absorbing souls. Unlike the Soul King and Ywach he does not have to power to 'give life' (share his soul). This seems fitting for a Lord of Death.
Hueco Mundo in contrast to the human world and Soul Society seems anarchistic in the sense that it is not governed by divine beings (Quincy or Shinimgami)
When the quincy's (children of Ywach) kill a hollow (soul from Hueco Mundo) that hallow(not sure if this effect applies to all types of souls) goes back or stays into the human world (either reborn as human again or born as a quicny). It seems that the quincies have the power to override the balancing powers of the Soul King.
While when the Shinigami (children of Soul King)* kill a being the soul is redistributed to the correct world(human, heaven, hades) based on the current balance.
>>148478368
*In the end every being is a child of the Soul King since either directly or indirectly everyone comes from the Soul King and returns to the Soul King.
for uknown reasons each soul gets only a limited number of spiritual power (reiatsu) based on what type of being is created(animal, human, hollow, shinigami), but through training it is possible to increase spiritual power.
Because Ywach including all quincies have the power to override the balancing power they can in effect by killing enough hollows make the world unbalanced.
But even if theoretically all hollows where transported to the human world, as long as the Soul King exists at least the 3 worlds won't be completely destroyed cause the Soul King still has authority over the Shinigami.
To rebalance the world the Shinigami need to kill enough Quicy's to redistribute the souls back.
So if Ywach wanted to destroy all 3 worlds permanently he had to first kill the Soul King and then all the Shinigamis. (wich he did ofcourse.)
It is not known if Ywach had the power to manipulate future before he absorbed to soul king or not, it is known he had the power to see in the future.
So I think it is as follows:
Soul King has power to both manipulate the future(wich Ywach absorbed later) and see into the future.
Ywach has the power to see into the future
Barragan has the power to manipulate the physical decay of objects/beings
Aizen has the power to manipulate the perception of time.
The book dude has the power to manipulate the past.
Orihime has the power to manipulate the physical restoration of objects/beings (opposite of Barragan)
>>148478399
It is not known if the Soul King has to power to create things out of nothingness.
It seems the Soul King did not create the world, nor is it all-powerful Thus avoiding the problem of evil and why the Soul King can not be refered to as an Supreme Ultimate God. Since time, past, future, did not exist before existence, the power of manipulating the future becomes nullified.
It is possible that The Soul King foresaw the destruction Ywach was creating and therefore manipulated time to ripen the perfect conditions for Ichigo & co and Aizen to appear and helped give Ichigo power boosts to defeat Ywach.
Ywach in the end did kill the Soul King and gained his power to manipulate the future, but the power of Aizen manipulated the perception of time of Ywach therefor reducing the power of Ywach wich ultimately led to his defeat.
Wich Ywach death his soul returns back to the Soul King to whom it originally belonged. Altough the Soul King was already killed by Ywach... It is unsure if the Soul King just manifested back into life. No info is given about who or where is the current Soul King. It could also be Ichigo's son.
>>148478436
Ywach seems to be the personification the problem of evil. Why create a world in where there is death and suffering? And thus he superficially seems the 'good' guy by destroying all worlds and removing all suffering and death.
Aizen gives the answer to the problem of evil. There exists suffering and death so that people can grow into better beings through courage.
Aizen himself wanted to become the new Soul King. Concluding frim his final statement he did not want to alter/change the world. He just wanted to be at the top. Aizen could be seen as Lucifer who was prideful and wanted to take the place of God, but then Lucifer fell down and was locked away in Hell.
Similarly Aizen fell by becoming a hallow, altough because he was a Shinigami he still retains his Shinigami powers. Then was locked into Central Great Underground Prison(Muken) forever.
That's it.
@Yonkou, leak the final volume cover.
>>148478582
Monday.
>>148478766
>Monday.
Are Ichigo and Rukia on the cover? Did Kubo really take another shot at the I/R fanbase?
>>148478368
Is this pasta? Or did you write this yourself?
>>148478368
Hollows literally just absorb souls to stay alive though.
>>148478368
you didn't read Bleach did you?
Bleach and Kubo are Japanese sex symbols.
Shueisha suddenly ended bleach because they don't want bad publicity for their kiddy magazine, Kubo should go to a seinen magazine and embrace the porn.

I want Chizuru/Tatsuki stickers to confirm their canon love.

So far away.
I want it all and I want it now.
>>148480428
It'll probably just be Ichigo and Rukia-maybe with Kazui and Ichika. The old and new death and strawberry. It's a nice fitting for the final cover that'll make majority of the fanbase glad and it'll outraged the Ichiruki fans at the same time. It's a win-win situation......unless Kubo stuck to his one character rule.
>>148480626
i would love to see more IR rage, but just for artistic reasons i want a single character in the cover
Chad should be on the cover.
>>148480730
>i want a single character in the cover
Ichigo or Kazui then.
What are the chances that the final volume has a different ending?
>>148480902
very few, to say the least
>>148480902
And what are the chances that there will be announcement about the new anime in the end?
>>148480902
None.
>>148481228
It depends on how well the last volume sells. It'd probably be in OVA form.
>>148481228
I want to believe.I hope they add filler too.
>>148481358
>filler
>wanting the anime to die before it finishes
>>148481416
The can at least draw all the battles that Kubo skipped. Like Ukitake's battle during the first invasion and so on.
>>148478436
One problem. Ichigo killed Ywach using Zangetsu exclusively. There was no power boost. Ichigo, even at his absolute weakest, was still much stronger than Ywach without his Almighty. A Ywach, I dare say, who cut down both the monk and old man genocide without going all out.
Which drove the point home that Ichigo never needed a power boost. When he had access to all of his powers, he was just so utterly broken, that the only way for the villain to even remotely stand a chance, he had to resort to an absolute cheat powerup to be able to do anything against him.
>>148481228
0.1%, I just want Kubo to say what the hell happened.
>>148481228
We'll be lucky to get a databook.
>>148478474
You have put far more thought into this than Kubo ever did.
It's time anon. It's time to accept that it was always just a slipshod piece of shit that Kubo wrote on the fly without any overarching theme or mythos. Let it go.
>>148481927
Oh look, it's this meme again.

Nice meme.

If by different ending you mean an ending with added content, then the chances are definite. Not knowing about what happened to most of the characters is definitely the most glaring flaw in Bleach's ending, to the point it's the biggest issue both casual and hardcore fans complained about.
>>148482558
Personally my biggest issue is how Kubo couldn't even be bothered to explain how the world was still around without the King. Followed up by how the hell Ichigo even killed Ywach. Like what was going on with his sword there?
