Hello guys it's me Simo Urahara
and in this video we're gonna talk about a special character
but before that let me ask you these questions
Who is the real counter for Yhwach? Who is the person who knew how
much Yhwach is dangerous? Which person was planning
to find a solution to defeat Yhwach?! Perhaps after asking these questions,
You would think about people such as: Yamamoto! because probably was the one who
defeated Yhwach 1000 years ago. Or maybe Ichibei,
who forced Yhwach to activate the Almighty! But the truth is that none of these characters
knew Yhwach to defeat him! indeed
There is another character who was the main reason for the defeat of Yhwach!
A very important figure in the story of Quincy as a race! Unfortunately,
it was strangely neglected by Kubo! I'm talking here about Souken Ishida !!
The Sternritter who stood against all the plans of Yhwach! The Sternritter that was
expelled from the castle of Wanderich! For those who watch my videos regularly!
8 months ago I published this video! and it was the second part of the video
And I told you at the end of this video that there is a third part where I'm gonna talk about how the
Ishida family were also planning to stop Yhwach, and through my theory of that video
I said that Yhwach has a plan of 1000 years. So that he was planning to restore
the world after 1000 years of waiting And I said that one of the reasons why Yhwach
waited all that time is because he waited for the birth of Ichigo to cut off Reio,
and thus become the actual ruler of the world and so during that long period he was planning
several things, including the conquest of the Quincy's lands in the real world..
His meeting with Haschwalt and making him his right hand..and making a new army called the
sternritters and his battle against Yamamoto and then the building of the hidden castle
and re-equip a new generation of sternritters with more powerful powers!
Of course, all these things were for Yhwach to reach his greatest goal
of restoring the ancient world he wanted! However, at the same time, another person,
who is Souken Ishida, was planning to stop him from doing acheiving that goal!
Sokin seems to have been aware of the seriousness of what Yhwach was planning!
And that Yhwach is the greatest danger to the entire worlds! Therefore, he was looking for a
solution to stop him, through a long-term plan a plan that I can name it '' The Ishida plan ''
a plan where 3 three generations will invovld in it
the grandfather, the son and the grandson! ! So I will try to explain
how Souken Ishida was trying to do it! As a start, I can say again that Sokin's
depth in the story of the Quincy is so great that you can't imagine,
especially his history and his relationship with wandenreich and Yhwach himself!
And I am sure that whoever ends watching the video will be surprised by the depth
of the Quincy subject and the number of topics we could have seen!
So like I said, we have very little about Souken in the manga
We have scenes of him with Uryuu at the beginning of the story, and after that we did not see any
other scenes in which he appears except for some scenes in which some characters talked
about him..such as the scene of Quilge Opie..and the scene of Ryuken in the flashback of isshin,
as well as the scene of chapter 674! and From what was said about him,
we can conclude that souken was a sternritter within the wandenreich !
Because in chapter 674, Ryuken used his father's necklace that called the Key of
the Sun to move to the castle of wandenreich! As Uryuu said to Ichigo in one of the chapters,
that this necklace is given to the sternritters so that they can move to different places of the
castle through gates called the Gates of the Sun! And Ishin was surprised how this necklace still
works after all these decades..and here Isshin added very important words about Souken when he
said, “he's grateful to Ryuken’s father for how he used his wits to use this necklace
so that he was able to escape after he was kicked out of the wandenreich ''
This is a very important statement! Because it matches what Quilge Opie said in this chapter
When he told Ichigo that The ancient Holy release!
became a thing of the past and expired 200 years ago! And that the only person who kept using it
was Souken Ishida, who opposed their research! Through these words, we can understand that Souken
Ishida was a figure in opposition to the policy of the wandenreich!
and this is what I like the most about this character!
Souken Ishida, when he was some sternritter in the wandenreich, saw several things he didn't like!
Perhaps the most prominent of their research, in which they wanted to remove the identity of the
Quincy by developing their abilities in order to obtain powers that would make them mere monsters,
and we saw this, both with Quilge Opie and even some sternritters who
obtained powers that made some of them mutants! and that's just a part of the story, for sure
souken had a view beyond all this! And it is that this research and what the wandenreich is doing
is for something bigger planned by Yhwach! That is why the biggest question remains, At
any period Souken Ishida was with the wandenreich? Was Souken Ishida among the survivors of the first
war against the Shinigami and stayed with Haschwalth and the rest inside the Hidden castle!
Or is it later, after the first war against the Shinigami ended,
Souken joined the wandenreich! and I go with this possibility
Because I already said in a previous video about Quincy!
The Quincy themselves divided on each other! There is a part that went with Yhwach and participated
in the war against the Shinigami a thousand years ago, and they were believers of Yhwach's ideas,
and they were the ones who later founded the hidden castle in Seireitei with Haschwal!
There is a part that was against Yhwach and his policy from the
beginning! Because we must not forget that Yhwach before he attacked the Soul Society,
he was waging a civil war! where he was attacking the cities of Quincy, and among the victims of
that war were Bazz b and Haschwalth..And based on those attacks, Bazz wanted to revenge!!
Therefore, there is no doubt that some noble families were against
what Yhwach wanted to do so they fought him before Yhwach finally took control of
the entire lands of the Quincy in the real world Because we must not forget again if the Shinigami
have high-ranking families, that called noble families, such as the Kuchiki, the Shihoin, etc.
we can find the same time on the Quincy side, there were families that we can say
were the noble families of the Quincy, such as the Ishida family and the Kurosaki family!
In my personal opinion, these two families were against Yhwach, and against what he wanted to do,
so it is possible that the Ishida family resisted Yhwach at the beginning and was defeated and
submitted to the rule of Yhwach in the end when he was invading the lands of the Quincy
! so I'm sure Souken Ishida followed the same policy as Bazz b and Haschwalth,
I mean joining the wandenreich to kill Yhwach ! but we don't know when he did that!
In the sense that, as a first possibility, Maybe he was present for his noble family's
war against Yhwach and his army when they wanted to invade the lands of the Quincy!
and therefore he saw the killing of his family members and on the basis
of that he also wanted to join And revenge on Yhwach by being
a sternritter inside the wandenreich and then staying with survivors and starting
to think about how to kill Yhwach Or there is the second possibility,
which I tend to..is that Souken was born a few centuries after the first Quincy War!
Because we must not forget that after the first war, the Quincy, as I said,
was divided into two parts, one that escaped and hid in the shadows of the Seireitei...
and second one that did not participate mainly in the war and remained in the real world and
they are the noble families because they were against Yhwach in the first place!
and Among them is the Ishida family..so when Souken Ishida was born, he knew through his
family members the story of Yhwach and the crimes he had committed against his own kind..
so he wanted to know by himself why basically Yhwach wants to do these things!
and as I said in the video in which I talked about the Quincy, there is
no doubt that after defeating the Quincy Hachwalth, who was the successor of the
sealed Yhwach.. He wanted to build a new army of sternritter.. And this process
extended for 1,000 years, and perhaps it was over multiple periods of time..
so that every time a special squad came out to recruit some youth Quincy in order to include them
in the wandenreich. That is why we saw this diversity among the Quincy members!
On this basis, it is very likely that Souken Ishida received an official invitation
to join wandenreich And this request may
be based on the distinction of Souken! If you notice ..Ryuken is a doctor! ! As
well as Uryuu became a doctor and succeeded his father, Ryuken!
This is why it is very likely that Souken was also a doctor or precisely a genius surgeon !
This is an important point that I will mention shortly!
The important thing is, as I said, because of his distinction
and the fact that he is a doctor, he was invited to join the wandenreich, in order, perhaps,
to see the condition of Yhwach . Because as we know Yhwach
was sealed for 900 years! So undoubtedly, he should have monitored
the development of his situation! So it is possible that Souken was at one point in charge of
the development of Yhwach's condition! Or he was a participant in some scientific research!
what matters is that when Souken entered the wandenreich, it seems that he initially
wanted to change it from the inside So he tried to convince them that their
policy will not lead to anything good and that this approach will bring destruction to Quincy!
And that the main danger is not the Shinigami, but that sealed person! Yhwach!
The Quincy fought a war with the Shinigami and lost it! So why would we waste all this
time and effort developing only to revenge ...when Quincy can live in the real world
and come to an agreement with the Shinigami! and so these were Souken ideas and philosophy,
and this is confirmed by his scenes with Uryuu at the beginning of the story!
through his words with his grandson, we can see that he was never a hater of Shinigami, on the
contrary, he didn't hold them all responsible for what happened to Quincy 200 years ago! These
are ideas that Uryuu inherited so that we saw how Uryuu never had a will to revenge against
the Shinigami Unlike Yhwa and his followers So, back to the days of souken's presence in the
wandenreich, it seems that after several attempts to convince the vandenreich to abandon their
ideas... Souken learned that the talk was no longer useful, especially after he began
to feel that someone inside the wandenreich was demanding his expulsion or perhaps killing him!
That is why he finally decided to escape and return to the real world..There he
returned to his family members and began to work individually on how to stop Yhwach!
It is possible, according to Quilge, that Souken was expelled from the Vandenreich 200 years ago!
and he may have spent a few decades alone before he married and had Ryuken.
By the way, his wife in one of the scenes, when Ryoken asked her where his father was..She
said that he headed to the fifth field and she doesn't know when he will return!
This may give us a perception that Souken was really busy doing either some research or
things related to how to stop Yhwach Because the basis for making the arrow that
paralyzed Yhwach's abilities started with Souken! Souken is the one who came up with that theory!
Ryuken said he had heard his father saying if the silver that forms in the hearts of the
hybrid quincies was mixed with the blood of the one who released the Auswählen,
it would paralyze his abilities! That's why I told you that
souken seems to have been a surgeon, because how would he come up with this theory if
he hadn't done some operations on Quincy's body? I don't know if Souke thought of this theory
after Yhwach woke up and did the Auswählen that led to the death of
his daughter-in-law, as well as Masaki! Or did he already have an idea about the
subject .. so that Yhwach may have already done this ritual a thousand years ago!
Therefore, after doing several types of research, he came to this conclusion!
And later when Yhwach woke up on June 17 and did the Osvigen ritual, which resulted in the
death of both Katagiri and Masaki! Souken told his son the theory,
and the latter set out to try to implement it by dissecting his dead wife!
It may be that both Souken and Ryuken know about Ryuu's hidden powers as well as Yhwach!
Because Uryuu is basically not a pure Quincy! However, Auswählen did not kill him!
Because the Auswählen ritual that Yhwach performed on the
17th was aimed at killing all the hybrid Quincy ! Thus, this explains why Ryuken told his son that
you are the only one who can shoot this arrow! This arrow was mainly made of silver that formed
on the hearts of hybrids Quincy who died as a result of the Auswählen, and therefore as long as
Uryu is a hybrid and did not die because of the Auswählen , this could be due to the power that
Yhwach talked about it and that's why Uryu was the only one who should shoot the arrow!
I find it similar to the idea of my theory in which I talked about the
fact that Ichigo was also the only one who was able to cut Yhwach with his real sword,
which is basically a copy of Yhwach's sword! Thus, you can see that the one who was seriously
thinking of finding a solution to defeat Yhwach was not Yamaji or ichibei, but souken!
Souken, who was a Sternritter in the wandenreich and knew the secrets of Yhwach
and based on that he tried to repel his danger from the Quincy first and the world as a whole
Because in the end, Yhwach gave up all the Quincy they were with, and this supports Souken's view
of Yhwach and how he never considered the Shinigami a threat to Quincy!
Also, the idea that souken was killed by five Hollows! Seems illogical to me,
or let's say it's not the full truth! Is it possible that a former sternritter
would simply be defeated against 5 hollows? And we're talking about a pure-blooded Quincy!
So I find it is exactly the same as what happened to Masaki against the Grandfisher!
Masaki, even with contaminated blood, as Isshin said, was able to kill that grandfisher easily!
But because of the Auswählen was defeated! I'm not saying that Souken has been exposed
to the Auswählen too. because apparently, the Ishida family is immune to this ritual.
In Yhwach's last use of that power when he stole power from both Hachwalt and Gerard..
Uryuu and Ryuken were not harmed even though they were on the same battlefield!
What I personally think is that Juha Bach met souken!
and Perhaps he as offered him a certain deal, and the souken refused it, which led Yhwach to
fight souken, and by that fight, souken became an easy target for Hollows, which led to his death!
it could be that or something else . .because it's unreasonable
that a character like Souken Would die at the hands of 5 Hollows in this way!
it might something we don't know was the main reason
for souken death ! in the end guys !
Kubo didn't deal well with Souken ishida because this character was key of this arc
if we had a flashback of him when he was a sternritter
and how he was expelled we would have learn a lot about the quincy !
