The "annoyance" fans felt was exactly what Kubo wanted. He built up the hype: the Sternritter storm in, bodies drop, Byakuya especially turned into blood pulp, then the Royal Guard show up with their training sessions and we think, “Okay, now the tide’s turning.” Ichibe comes in like a primordial god that defines the very title of the Manga "Bleach",, wipes Yhwach’s name, his power, his very existence… and then boom, The Almighty hits, and suddenly none of it mattered. That’s the point. Kubo made us believe the Quincy could lose. He gave us that hope and then ripped it away. The Almighty doesn’t just win fights; it rewrites reality like the fight never even happened. That’s not bad writing, that’s peak writing.
