Here’s Why Yamamoto Didn’t Enter the Potential War

You must be wondering, why Yhwach didn’t include Yamamoto in the potential war, even though Yamamoto was the one who managed to stop Yhwach 1000 years ago. Here’s the full discussion.

1. Yhwach Already Knows Yamamoto’s Strengths

The first reason is because Yhwach already knows Yamamoto’s strength. As we know 1000 years ago Yamamoto and Gotei 13 had a war with Yhwach and Quincy lost the war.

Given that fact, it’s only natural that Yhwach still remembers Yamamoto’s power. Although 1000 years have passed, and Yamamoto’s abilities have improved, surely Yhwach is aware of that.

2. Yamamoto is an emotionally volatile person

The next reason is because Yhwach knows Yamamoto is a person who gets emotional easily. For those of you who don’t know, Yamamoto is an angry person, from the past until now he is easily emotional.

Seeing Yamamoto’s disposition, of course Yhwach knew that he could trick the old man. The proof is that Yamamoto was indeed deceived, in the first invasion of Soul Society, when Yamamoto saw Yhwach he immediately exerted all his strength. Even though the Yhwach he fought was a trick.

3. Yhwach Has Prepared a Thorough Plan to Face Yamamoto

The next reason was that Yhwach had already prepared a plan to deceive Yamamoto. After knowing Yamamoto’s strengths and traits, Yhwach must have come up with a good plan to face and defeat Yamamoto.

The proof is that Yhwach asked his men to impersonate him, and the plan succeeded in luring Yamamoto. Meanwhile, the original Yhwach bided his time while chatting with Aizen.

4. Yhwach’s Strength Has Increased

The last reason is because Yhwach’s strength has increased. In the war 1000 years ago, Yhwach’s power was not yet fully awakened, in order to fight Yamamoto he forced to use his power and lost control.

Learning from experience, Yhwach made a plan to deceive Yamamoto and when Yamamoto was deceived, Yhwach killed Yamamoto at once. From the scene, we can tell that Yhwach’s power has increased and seems to be stronger than 1000 years ago.
