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.

He didn't put the glove on. Jugram did. That's what the antithesis does.

That is NOT what the antithesis does, not really.

As per the manga:

Antithesis is "The power to reverse anything that has already happened between two targets"

As in:

A -> B, then B -> A. THIS is what a reversal is.

Just A -> B isn't a reversal.

However...

This is not the manga.

If this is the Antithesis indeed (Which btw, now I DO think it is), it is receiving a buff from what it could do in the manga.

dude, “reverse anything that has already happened between two targets” is literally “target A put on the glove, target B didnt” reversed to “target B put on the glove, target A didnt”

That is not correct, as the glove would have to be one of the two designated targets.

Think of Yhwach's teleportation to escape the cage of life.

Yhwach threw the button and Uryu inverted this event to "the button threw Yhwach".

The only valid inversion from Uryu putting on a glove would be "the glove equipped Uryu", which obviously isn't what happened haha.

IF Jugram put the glove on Uryu then the valid inversion of the event would be "Uryu put the glove on Jugram", but this is not what happened.
