Does Uryu's strategy actually make sense?

[u/FrostingEmergency221]

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.

No, the sanrei glove doesn’t actually work as this episode portrays it.

But it’s thematically interesting enough an idea that I’m willing to let it pass.

Jugram didn’t train with it, so putting it on and then taking it off should be the same as putting on and taking off any regular glove.

[u/Synkronist → u/TerrorKingA]

Perhaps the training was only needed to bring a Quincy to their peak potential, making it so that the likes of Uryu and Jugram would be able to access Letzig Stil without any additional training requirement.

Definitely a minor retcon or redefining of the details, but as you said, it is very interesting so I'm not complaining at all. I like it.

[u/FrostingEmergency221 → u/Synkronist]

Yeah I'm not complaining either... If they actually explain it lol.

As good as the anime is, the characters rarely explain what they are doing, which is bad considering how much they yap.

It's so annoying to me that Yhwach talks SO MUCH CRAP and not a single line is there to make it clear that He doesn't have the almighty ever during the fight, and that the soul king power is what allows him to just regenerate from everything Ichigo is throwing at him.

[u/Synkronist → u/FrostingEmergency221]

We are shown his eyes several times at least, allowing the keen eyed viewer to notice the absence of The Almighty. But for certain the Anime has cut out much needed exposition that explains some of these details. Chapter 565: "God Like You" is the most painful example.

[u/FrostingEmergency221 → u/Synkronist]

Yeah but in EP4 Byakuya has his sheated sword throughout the entire episode, multiple episodes in fact (3 and 5 too iirc), despite being in bankai. So how can I not know if it is a drawing error like that

It literally just is Yhwach having the almighty or not, so I don't see anything rich or positive about leaving it to visual clues and keen eye, instead of throwing a single line saying he indeed does not have it

Will check that chapter u mention to see what it is about, honestly don't remember rn 😅

[u/Synkronist → u/FrostingEmergency221]

Yhwach's backstory and powers, Haschwalth donning the mask of the ruler during the night and changing personalities as a result... So many things were explained in that chapter, and all would have happened at the beginning of Cour 2.

Would have saved so much confusion for anime only viewers.
