U-Ha-Bar is the final villain of the Bleach series, and that's of course if you're not counting the hell out, where Zylop Pro returned, but to keep this on topic, U-Ha-Bar single handedly made his mark within the 1000 year Blue War arc and set himself in stone as an absolute merciless monster. On ironically, much like how the old soul society used to be a thousand years ago, but why are we talking about the Quinty King today? Well, the question I posed to you today is, is U-Ha-Bar dead? The short answer is, no, he is not. While this may turn a few heads, today's video, I'll elaborate on this interesting theory I have about U-Ha and his potential to come back within the Bleach series. So, make sure to hit that like, subscribe, hit a comment, and of course, tickle that bell notification to keep up with all the latest news, discussions and theory videos. So, let's get into it. Besides the obvious comments that I'm going to get, of course I'm aware of the light novels. After the 1000 year Blue War arc, going into camp for your own world, U-Ha had replaced the soul king. Well, more specifically, his spiritual energy has. Because, as confusing as this was, it is the same as with the original Reo. Though his body is supposedly assumed dead, his body, as in fact, is a vessel. But, his spiritual energy lasted, thus being able to hold the worlds together. Even one hand of Mimihagi was able to keep the balance of the worlds. Or maybe just the arm was just reconnecting that said vessel. But the point is, even though Reo, as a vessel, was pronounced dead, his spiritual energy wasn't. Or at the very least, put in a frozen type stasis. I think you may understand where I'm going with this. But first of all, let me explain why I think U-Ha might still be around, which can be down to a random thought that I had about U-U, and whether he still has his bestowed script. And potentially, what that would mean for U-Ha himself. So, as I said, I had this random thought about U-U asheela, and if he still held the antifuses ability. This somehow sporealled, and I came to the conclusion that he does, because U-U obtained this ability through U-Ha through drinking his blood. Now, thankfully, this isn't my only lead to this conclusion, as I understand this example can be easily debunked. U-Ha does in fact say that U-U has a hidden ability. That, with his help, can be awakened. Now, this can be indicated that his blood is a trigger for this ability to be accessible. But I think there might be something more to this. While U-Ha didn't have the almighty ability awoken at this point, I assume U-Ha was theorizing, or avoidin' puttin' all of his ex-in-one basket, as I found it interesting he bestowed to you the same letter that he himself heard being the letter A. Was this maybe a setup just in case U-Ha himself died? Well, we'll get into this. But first, let's talk about the other alternatives. As we know, from one of the biggest foreshadowing or biggest revelations in Bleach, Ijago Kurosaki, one of our main characters has connections to Zongetsu, known as, of course, U-Ha-Bah. Or, at least a very small part of him that grew to have his own sentient personality, or consciousness. We learn throughout the series, Old Man Zongetsu, as we will call him, had helped Ijago throughout his training, guide him and even restrict him of his abilities. But, over time, Zongetsu learned to create a bond and was swayed by Ijago. Why this is relevant is because whether Ijago likes it or not, Zongetsu and U-Ha are connected. U-Ha was able to watch Ijago, and know much more about him than maybe even Ijzen. This could also be a little bit of a double-edged sword, no pun intended, because this could explain why Ijago was so fearful about Ijago's true bonkai. While this connection exists, Ijago will always coexist. In this case, in a good way, Zongetsu is seen as the good version of Ijago. Much like, let's just say, Fatboo is too margin-boo if you take that as an example. But then we have Kazui, our little bundle of wholesomeness that could, may or may not destroy the worlds, with a single summoning portal. That being said, and without fearizing on Kazui's abilities as I would like to leave that for another time, so make sure to subscribe. I feel Kazui, much like margin-boo, as an example may have parts of U-Ha within him. I mean, he is a Quincy in the same way that Ijago is by virtue of being Masaki's descendant, and, moreover, he even shares the same tenses on Get-To-Hilt Ijago did within his fake bonkai mode. As we know from some Soul Reapers, some powers are in fact hereditary, more so it would seem within the royal families. Again, a topic for another day. There is no bought this up, considering Kazui's immaturity and innocence, it should be easy to manipulate a kid like him. We don't truly know what happened to U-Ha's Rashi in the last chapter. Did Kazui destroy it because he had the same Rashi as you are? Did he simply absorb it? Who knows? But I find it interesting that when you look at the Quincy portal and the Shinigami portal, Kazui opens up a Hell Portal. Could these two Rashi's together untrained create a casual portal to Hell? That is the question. Who knows? But I find it interesting that U-Ha's powers are kind of scattered everywhere within the different worlds. It's clear to us the audience are not only does he hold the worlds together, as the Soul King's replacement, he also potentially resides within U-U, resides within Ijago to some sort, and highly possible to reside in Kazui too. We have yet to mention that parts of U-Ha's Riasha are hidden within the shadows of the Soul Society, only to release 10 years later. But why 10 years? What was the purpose of that sudden outburst? What was U-Ha going to do at this point? Fight Sauripus as pure energy? As long as these three to four factors are in place, U-Ha isn't dead in nature, and realistically could come back at literally any time, maybe in another thousand years. I mean, he did survive Oroskai Miyamoto a thousand years ago, was this the same technique that he used back then too? But let's hand it over to DBZMrun and see what he thinks about this. If we take what we learn about the current state of U-Ha back from the Kantphere on-world light novels, and we apply some of the facts that we know about the original Soul King, then I think that it can really help us to understand whether if U-Ha is in fact alive or not. Now, as James had mentioned earlier on in the video, U-Ha has now replaced the Soul King. With his body being transformed by the Royal Guard into the new powerless linchpin of reality, when U-Ha had absorbed the Soul King during the thousand year blood war arc, he was effectively functioning as the new Soul King, but the difference was that he was sentient, powerful, and he was able to shape reality into his image. Ichibai's sinister plot to transform Ichigo into the next Soul King was also revealed early on in the Kantphere on-world light novels. Ichibai had come to this decision after realizing that there was no way to defeat the enemy, and he had allowed Ichigo to charge towards U-Ha back knowing full well that he didn't stand a chance against him. It is assumed that after Ichigo's defeat, Ichibai would have transformed him into the new Soul King. The leader of the Quincy was well aware of Ichibai's twisted plan, and he had wanted to actually end Ichigo's life before he would be forced to enjoy a fate worse than death. In some way, he had actually saved Ichigo's life by absorbing the Soul King, and thus making it easier for the Royal Guard to just use U-Ha back's body as a replacement, if Ichigo and the others were in fact able to defeat him. In an ironic way, U-Ha back's relationship to Ichigo mirrors his bond with Olman Zangatsu. Now while Olman Zangatsu had halted Ichigo's progression because of being overly protective, U-Ha back on the other hand had saved Ichigo's life by absorbing the Soul King, and thus making himself a viable candidate to fill the role of Soul King instead of Ichigo. He also had expressed enough consideration for Ichigo that he did not want him to fall victim to Ichibai's plan. The light novels also revealed that the original Soul King didn't fight back against the noble families when they had plotted to mutilate his body and to transform him into a powerless god. Some fans have speculated that he was aware of the future and yet accepted what was going to happen to him as a necessary evil that he needed to become a linchpin in order to bring a balance into the world. After U-Ha back was cut in half by Ichigo at the end of the manga, it had seemed like he was in fact dead, but the Royal Guard were able to take his body, which had contained the essence of the Soul King and transformed him into the new Soul King. Now I theorize that much like his father, the old Soul King, U-Ha back must be trapped in a state where he is between life and death. The other characters do refer to his body as a corpse, but it is an accurate description because he may as well be dead, because life as a powerless linchpin is in fact a fate worse than death. U-Ha is now an undead corpse destined to remain stagnant, much like the original primordial world of Bleach before the noble families had ambushed the Soul King. Now U-Ha back in my opinion is neither fully dead or fully alive, but that's just my opinion on the matter. Now I'll hand it back over to James so that he can give you his final thoughts on the state of U-Ha back. I don't want to put any absolute or say we've certainty that this is the case as unless Kubo himself tells us or we see more content in the future relating to this idea, we will never really truly know, but I think it's very interesting to know that the last ride of the Quinces is not quite over yet, and what that means for the greater Bleach Universe as a whole. If U-Ha did come back, what form could it possibly be in? Perhaps you could be similar to Kagi from Naruto in the sense that he forms a body from another individual, such as those we listed before, or even someone you, providing Kubo does want to make another story, or he could reawaken his memories in his incarnation. That potentially has been passed on to Kazeui to some degree, or will his remnant reaction play a part within that process? Are all of these pieces just parts of another plan that U-Ha put into motion? But what about you guys as the viewer? Do you have any thoughts regarding this idea? If there was a greater purpose to give U-U the same letter A, then easy being nurtured as the second vessel for U-Ha without U-U's knowledge? As far as we know, U-U doesn't have a method to extract Quincy blood from himself, and even if he did, what do you even do so consider in his pride with his Quincy heritage? But again, I'll leave those thoughts to you guys. So tell me what you guys think, with that being said, I'm going to catch you guys like you guys of course, have this fine day being answered and as always people, peace out.
