**Yhwach** (in Japanese: ユーハバッハ, Yūhabahha), often referred to simply as **"Your Majesty"** (in Japanese: 陛下, heika) by his underlings, is the overarching antagonist in the anime/manga series *Bleach*.

He is the monarch of the Wandenreich and Father of the Quincy. He also possesses the designation "**A**" - "**The Almighty**", and is the son of the Soul King. He seeks to destroy the three worlds' barriers and recreate it in his own image. Being the creator of the Quincy, he is indirectly responsible for various events that have occurred throughout the series, most notably the birth of Ichigo and his access to his Quincy powers, Zangetsu.

He is voiced by Takayuki Sugo in Japanese and by Richard Epcar in English.

## His Qualities

### What Makes Him Entertaining?

* Both Takayuki Sugō in the Japanese version of the anime and Richard Epcar in the English version do a very good job voicing this character.
* Yhwach has an extremely majestic and eye-catching design, including his distinctive mustache, which takes up more and more of his face as the story progresses.
* He is one of the most powerful characters in the entire universe, able to easily fight in normal combat with characters such as Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto and Ichibē Hyōsube.
* He is an extremely effective leader who managed to successfully conduct the Quincy invasion of the Seireitei, resulting in the death of Yamamoto and his right-hand man, Chojiro, and the theft of several captains' bankai.
* He is a skillful manipulator who managed to trick Yamamoto into thinking he was actually fighting him and not Royd Loyd in the guise of his master. Additionally, his speech to his army while introducing Uryū Ishida as his successor was an effective method of indoctrinating his soldiers into being more devoted to his cause.
* Although his motives and methods were completely inhumane, there was a minimum of altruism in them, a desire to unite all three worlds back to their original state as one great plane of existence; thus eliminating death and enabling endless existence.

### What Makes Him Detestable?

* From the moment he was born, he was completely ruthless and heartless, slogging through the dead to his goals, both his enemies and his allies, showing no trace of remorse when he killed them when he deemed them expendable.
* He had no care for his subordinates, treating them only as mere tools with which he could do whatever he wanted with impunity, including making them lose, because even when his men died, their power returned to him, making him stronger.
* When he managed to successfully infiltrate the Royal Palace and kill the Soul King by absorbing his power, he became completely lost in his power, believing himself to be an absolute god and wanting to destroy everything.

## Trivia

* He and Sōsuke Aizen are the only Bleach characters to be Entertainingly Detestable.
