As we know Yamamoto Genryusai is the founder of Gotei 13 and is also one of the Shinigami with great power. Long before Ichigo’s era, Yamamoto led the Shinigami to war with Quncy. In that battle, Shinigami won, but the founder of Gotei 13 did not kill Yhwach at the end of the battle. Therefore, this time we will discuss the reasons why Yamamoto didn’t kill Yhwach.
For those of you who don’t know, Shinigami and Quincy are both hunting Hollows, but the difference is that the Hollow that Quincy killed did not go to Soul Society and did not reincarnate. For this reason, Shinigami was forced to attack Quincy in order to keep the three worlds in balance.

Here’s Why Yamamoto Didn’t Kill Yhwach Back Then
When the Shinigami and Quincy war 1000 years ago occurred, of course Yamamoto as the leader of Gotei 13 faced Yhwach who was the King of Quincy. But in that war Yamamoto did not finish Yhwach, even though at that time Yhwach could not do anything.
1. Yamamoto Feels Yhwach is no Longer a Threat
The first reason was because Yamamoto felt that Yhwach was no longer a big threat. So in the war 1000 years ago, many Shinigami and Quincy fell. But the biggest loser was Quincy’s side.
In addition to many Quincys falling, Yhwach also used The Almighty when it was not fully awakened. For this reason, Yhwach lost control and entered a long period of sleep. Seeing that Yhwach was no longer able to do anything and Quincy was destroyed, Yamamoto must have felt that Yhwach was no longer a threat.
2. Yamamoto Knows Yhwach’s Relationship with Soul King
The next reason is because Yamamoto knows Yhwach’s relationship with Soul King. As a founder of Gotei 13 and having lived for a long time, it is only natural that Yamamoto is right about the world.
It is likely that before the war, Yamamoto got information from Ichibei about Yhwach. The first information is that King Quincy Yhwach is the son of the Soul King and the second information is that Ichibei will make Yhwach the next Soul King replacement.
3. Yhwach’s Role in Balancing the World
The next reason is that Yamamoto knows Yhwach’s role as a world balancer. As we mentioned in the previous point, Ichibei plans to make Yhwach the next Soul King, aka making Yhwach a sacrifice for the balance of the world.
Seeing Yhwach’s role in the future, Yamamoto is surely aware that Yhwach is needed to close the gates of hell. If Yhwach is killed the gates of hell will open and cause an imbalance.
4. Not Wanting to Burden Hell with a Strong Soul
The last reason is because Yamamoto does not want to burden hell with a strong soul. As we know Yhwach is one of the characters in Bleach who has enormous power.
According to Kyoraku, the Konso Reisai ritual is the final way to send a strong soul to hell, as strong souls cannot be reincarnated. Earth cannot accept spirits with high spiritual power to reincarnate.
It turns out that Hell has its own limits, what with many characters dying during the Shinigami war with Quincy. Seeing these conditions, of course Yamamoto prefers to force Yhwach to sleep rather than kill him.
This is the reason why Yamamoto didn’t kill Yhwach. After reading this article, what do you think about your theory, about Yamamoto not killing Yhwach? Then don’t forget to always visit Dafunda.
