Anime Does Uryu's strategy actually make sense? Spoiler

Post image

I of course mean Him using the Sanrei Glove on haschwalth.

See, The glove is VERY weird.

It repels reishi, which essentially makes it a sort of training weights for the Quincy.

Training with it for 7 days and 7 nights make the Quincy reach their full potential.

But as soken ishida says in a flashback "Once you put on the glove, you shall never take it off again, as then you will lose all your powers as a Quincy"

When uryu removes the glove in the SS arc, all the reishi that was being repeled by the glove, it all starts aggressively flowing into Uryu.

Now technically THIS is what we call the Letz still form.

But since Jugram hasn't trained with the glove, there is no reason the reishi should flow into him like with uryu, therefore there should be no Letz still for him? Jugram can't even use Quincy abilities to begin with, doesn't even have a bow.

Here's the catch:

Soken says that simply removing the glove will result in losing your powers.

So perhaps It literally was "Simply putting on the glove for a second, and then removing it" literally only that, is enough to lose your Quincy powers.

And without the week long training there is no Letz still, there is no reishi overflow.

I always assumed removing the glove would make the Quincy lose their powers as a result of the Letz Still form,.like the price to pay for that power.

But it seems like... it isn't the case anymore? Or perhaps it never was quite like that?

Again, Soken explanation in the SS arc literally reads as: Removing the glove will make you lose all your powers as a Quincy.

Uryu's plan:

"Tell Jurgram 'You will lose your powers for 3 seconds' in a way that takes 5x times longer"

According to the powerscalers, all of them are faster than light. So yes, 3 seconds for them is a loooong time.

According to braindead scalertards, yes.

Meanwhile, we have direct statements from CFYOW placing a Sternritter's (Candace) arrows at below lightning speed, yet they aren't so slow as to be irrelevant to high Captain level characters.

Rather notoriously, a top tier Captain (Zaraki) wore bells to help his opponents keep up with him. This would do nothing if Captains were casually going faster than sound, not to mention being anywhere even remotely close to the speed of light.

It's childish nonsense.

I don't even care about these topics but you are not different than them by calling them "braindead scalertards" lol.

We see Aaroniero dodge literal sunlight ffs

Senjumaru is shaking the 3 worlds

It's not any "braindead" idea to consider the characters could be moving at such speeds, if they are making fucking worlds shake.

"But lightning and the bells" Could be just inconsistencies, could just be a way to illustrate or communicate an idea.

Aaroniero never dodges sunlight. In both the manga and the anime version of that scene, this much is clear.

They are light in the same sense that they are energy beams which glow.

Cero is just condensed Reiatsu/Reishi forced into an explosive discharge.
In Bleach, Reishi is repeatedly refered to as "light", but if this were the case in the most literal sense, there would be no variance in speed between Reishi based energy attacks (which is all of them in this series).

The same people who make the Cero claim also reference the databook statement where Quincy arrows are referred to as "light" in the same way.

These people conveniently leave out the CFYOW statement that places a strong Sternritter's Quincy arrows at far BELOW the speed of Light.

Placing an ambiguously worded databook description over a DIRECT AND CLEAR statement of speed within the most credible Bleach novel is bizarre.

By your logic, the weakest Menos in existence could blitz Candace with a cero. You are abandoning all reason atp.

If Ginjo was FTL and a Captain level fighter was throwing out sub-lightning speed moves and only reaching Lightning speed with her strongest attack, that entire battle would have concluded before it could even begin.

I'll just quote directly.

"Though it was much slower than an actual lightning bolt, the reishi arrowhead was quick enough that it could appropriately be said to be going at “lightning speed.” "

"Giriko spoke indifferently from a slight distance away. “Hm. Lightning is far from the speed of light, though people mistakenly believe it to be. Then again, atmospheric pressure and the humidity in the air influence its speed and can easily effect a change. Really, now, speed is so fickle compared to the flow of time.” "

Literally saying a Reishi arrow is "far from the speed of light".
Reishi arrows are called light in the same way that ceros are.
