Haschwalth’s BROKEN GOD-LIKE POWER: The OVERPOWERED Balance Explained | BLEACH Breakdown 

Haschwalth's whole characterization is interesting. The man is all about loyalty and yet he betrayed his friend in the name of serving Yhwach. Only to have his loyalty to Yhwach rewarded with death.

I like how Jugram gave up a genuine bond with Bazz, to obtain a seemingly more beneficial bond with Yhwach. Only for him to realize that he had abandoned his only true friend, to serve a man who cared nothing about him. I think he saw his own death with the Almighty, but felt that he deserve such a fate. His story is quite sad, but he might have found some peace in helping Uryu in his final moments.

In CFYOW, it is stated that he gains ALL of Yhwach's powers when he is asleep. Which would include all the Schrifts that the other Quincy who died have had since then. Liltotto even said "can that Haschwalth bastard see the future "too"?" The "too" proving that it is in conjunction with something.

The balance was actually first shown against ichigo when ichigo got lucky by accidentally activating blut vene and survived yhwach's attack. So Jugram rained misfortune on Ichigo by effortlessly breaking tensa zangetsu. Then he also almost used it against Nanao and Shunsui who got lucky twice with a barrier to block his attacks but was called back by Yhwach to punish Cang Du and Bg9. He also used it against Buzz who survived Aushwallen and his fortune was balanced by misfortune from Jugram to overpower and kill him.

I do believe that there was another instance of The Balance being used. I believe that Jugram used The Balance to break Ichigo's Tensa Zangetsu, and did not break it only by sheer strength or by having a better weapon. Up until that point, Ichigo had been very fortunate, like by escaping Quilge's The Jail by awakening his quincy powers, and surviving a direct blow to the neck by Yhwach via unknowingly activating Blut Vene, and afterwards managing to injure Yhwach himself. Perhaps even the fact that Yhwach was out of time outside the Schatten Bereich could be counted as fortune for Ichigo. When Ichigo went in to attack Yhwach and Jugram as they were going away, I believe then Jugram used The Balance to convert Ichigo's fortune into misfortune, which resulted in his bankai being broken. I think it's a very satisfying theory, personally.

Out of all the stern rittter I think i would want either Uryu ability or Gremmy. It's scary when you think about the fact that all of the quincy op powers are just pieces of Ywach power. Ywach might be the most op antagonist in anime

Not sure how Haschwalth's Balance would fair against One Hit Characters like Zaraki and Gerard. Fortune and misfortune would only apply to people who are alive. If Haschwalth were to be killed in one hit then surely his ability would cease to function? Unlike Gerard who is virtually immortal and becomes stronger everytime is dealt damage. Haschwalth's Balance only comes into effect once the misfortune is realized by Haschwalth.

The Balance is basically D4C: Love Train, but actually controllable, which makes it truly OP. Also, with Cang Du, I always thought the Balance simply allowed Haschwalth the good fortune of finding a weak point in Cang Du's defenses in order to bisect the latter.

Haschwalth ability is HIGHLY!... underrated. A lot of people don't understand how scary and broken this ability is.

Can you do Gerard's Miracle next?

Awesome video! I'm glad that I'm not only one who speculated that the true power of the Balance is to manipulate cause and effect. The one disagreement I have is that Haschwalth never said that his schrift is limited to redirecting misfortunes that happened only to himself. As he explained to Uryu, his power is to allocate misfortunes that occur in his domain to the fortunate. In other words, even misfortunes that occurred to allies can be redirected to the fortunate. Right when he was conversing with Kyoraku, he had analyzed the battles in the Seirietiei and concluded they were balanced. It is implied that his Balance has a huge area of effect and can redirect misfortune from anywhere. I imagine for this to be effective, Haschwalth's spiritual sensing has to be off the charts, and he may have a bit of clairvoyance on his own even without the Almighty. And yeah, I'm hoping the anime will expand on this amazing schrift. I'm guessing the reason why there are only two instances of him using his schrift is because he's immensely powerful in terms of raw power too. He broke Tensa Zangetsu and decimated Bazz-b with his skill as a swordsman. Even with Cang Du, it's likely he could have dealt with him without using his schrift, but Kubo used that moment to give a hint at what his schrift is all about.

I would love a further explanation of the schrift feedback loop

I still don't get why he didn't have a Volstandig. I mean it would be even more broken but I feel like that and Uryu not having one was a lame aspect of their respective characters.

His power could also be seen as karma

You forget that physical prowess are what needs to be taken into account as well. If Gerard or Kenpachi blast or cut Haschwalth in half, there is no balance to be done there. The reason Jugram is so powerful is his shield, he needed to use it, in order to counter Antithesis and not take that much damage himself, which proves he isn't all that physically tough. A brute strength and otherworldly move from Gerard or Zaraki would end him. Actually, the combo of Haschwalth and Yhwach is what can't be beaten IMO.

The balance is underrated as heck. A friend of mine argues that it is capable of withstanding the Almighty (pre soul king absorbed) but i don't quite agree with him. However it can be extremely useful against opponent's such as Aizen and Ichibe with their abilities too.

With the visionary I can see grimly thinking “I imagine your shrift won’t have any effect on me at all” then it’s over

Could Jugram percieve yhwach's great power as misfortune thus tipping the scale so he could be stronger?

A full on WHAT IF series would be nice ❤ featuring The Balance

I would have love to see Shunsei and Hasachwalth fight instead of what we saw in the Manga

I think The Miracle might eventually beat out The Balance, as Gerard is a piece of the Soul King. It's something that might, forgive the pun, tip the scales.

The B for haschwalth should have been the "BROKEN"

I know this video is about Shrift B (Balance), but I want to know something about Antithesis. Is it possible to use Antithesis to take/steal abilities from your enemy and give them to your friend? If I break a wooden board I can use Antithesis to swap the damage between the board and the enemy? Is it possible to use Antithesis to take away years of your enemy’s life in order to extend your own?Thank you for your attention. I will be glad if you answer my questions. Because in the anime it was shown that with the help of Antithesis you can swap the location of two objects. Shrift A and B should have been the strongest, but as shown, Balance is stronger than Antithesis.I'm not saying that Antithesis should be the strongest, but at least equal to Balance. Thanks again for your attention. I will be very glad if you answer my questions.

Love the idea of facing the Quincy’s against each other

Balance VS Miracle please

So it's not balanced.

OOne thing I'm curious about: does the transfer of damage to the shield happen independent of Haschwalth's will, and if so; what would happen if an enemy was able to take the shield from him? I'm thinking someone like Ichigo in Bankai or Soifon going all out in speed to get in and out of his area of effect with it. Or is this a situation like with Uryu's bow where he can just form another one? This is all assuming that there's a minor delay in The Balance taking effect and suddenly nerfing that same speed. Only ways I can think of to beat this guy would be incredibly complicated and have numerous flaws for The Balance to exploit.

I still don't understand why Antithesis lost so easily to the Balance. Couldn't Uryu keep reversing the result forever?

All Gremmy has to do is imagine that the balance doesn’t exist

From what I’m hearing, his abilities seems similar to the Almighty. Plus when he was able to cut and kill Cang Du, it reminds me of Kenpachi slicing Germany after he was saying “I just imagined my body being made of steel”.

Cang: did you forget my ability? Hash: my brother in Yhwach did you forget MY ABILITY

it's wild how much I have to explain how busted his schrift is and people overlook it for abilities like gremmy's, which is busted as well but because of the nuance behind Haschwalth's ability, it seems to be misunderstood and overlooked.

Hashwald's balance destroys the opponent's ability when luck happens twice can tu blocked Hitsugaya's great technique + Hasheswald's sword, so he was hit by good luck twice, so he destroyed can tu abillty. it due to bad luck the third time. In fact, they say, "It's a second lucky"

Truth is Haswalth wins against any other Quincy not named Yhwach . He's the Grand master for a reason.

How does the x axis vs the balance play out? One makes you straight intangible to all damage while the other makes sure to balance out any misfortune and fortune. Edit: we would have to assume the balance itself is capable of touching the intangibility by turning him tangible. I don’t think it goes that far to the point of turning off the power

Yhwach absorbs Quincy's powers when he dies. Since Gremmy has already been absorbed, Hushwald can use His Majesty's power at night, so he can also use Gremmy's ability. Hashwald just can't change the future.

In a vs we often throw mentality out of the picture. However, fights are won and lost in your mind in the world of bleach. Determination can best skill. The best skills are a labor of determination. As poetic as: To be or not to be. That is the question. Whether tis nobler in the mind to take arms against a sea of troubles and by opposing end them. On your vs can you throw in the added match within the match? You should describe why they are fighting, motivation to win can help. Destroying an opponent before they can power up, for instance. Or making the fatal mistake of feeding the opponents energy at the expense of your energy. Based on numbers alone. Balance may destroy every fiber of someone’s being interrupting the process of gaining more strength. Balance gives back the energy, plus some. What needs to be determined: How much can each person withstand, before the process is broken?

So will shunsui's bankai be counted as misfortune?

Actually I have to disagree with you and say Gerard is by far the easiest for Jugram to counter and defeat. Miracles are nothing but good fortune making him the most vulnerable to Jugram who just robs him of all his good fortune. We know the miracle has limits as it couldn't stop the Aushwalan. The Anti thesis also hardcore shuts down the miracle as it reverses all the fortune.

I don’t know much about the in-between of the later half of TYBW. All I heard was how busted this ability is and honestly it’s amazing how “The Balance” is deliberately unbalanced as hell.

Love your content keep it up!

So, you simply need to make him think that his death is fortunate- at the hands of your blade? as to end his suffering? He's quite weak then

Some Sternritter abilities are so crazy That's a cool shield

so simply he can reverse misfortune that DIRECTLY effects him. His offense is dealing misfortune ontop of the misfortune already in place for the opponent when they put him in an unfortunate predicament

His Power is like the Power from the Hydro Achron Focalors from Genshin.

Yes, imma that battle analysis lol

So how it works is it just puts the misfortune from jugram to the enemy then double it. It’s still a balance because the balance was already out of place because of the enemy therefore correcting it and transferring it back so it is still a balance. At 7:13 he stated there’s a common denominator and that the balance doesn’t really balance when it actually does the balance goes out of place due to the enemy therefore the balance needs to rectify the problem so it takes away there fortune and let’s jugrsm have some it’s a bit like karma ( reap what you sow ).Yhwach would have a little problem with that considering haschwalth doesn’t have to attack to transfer to Yhwach so if he get hurt by Yhwach, there is no timeline in where Yhwach can avoid it because it just passively goes to him and the almighty only can alter Physical attacks from different timelines. The statement of when jugram said antithesis can rival the almighty that’s because it’s a passive ability and so is the balance although Yhwach can just use alschwallen on him.

Scarlet Witch: You've done well my son.

If Haschwalth ever stole a bonkai whose would it be? Urahara, Shunsui, Ukitake or Byakuya?

I think the visionary could cause a stalemate with the balance as well 🤔

He gives me Barragan vibes in the sense that he controla some all powerful ability but thinks it doesn't apply to him.

Something about his broad sword fits him so well

What happens if a character severely wounds H because of pure skill and not “luck”? Would his Schrift not work?

Informative asf

No lie, I like your chibi character art.

Didn't Bazz B get stronger because of the balance when they were kids so couldn't it be something of a buff for your allys

Heck yeah can you please do a VS video with the miracle VS the balance

Honestly I always felt his power has a major problem in that it doesn't really stop someone from just stabbing him in the face so for all his overpoweredness the counter to his ability is literally just aim for the head

Haschwalth showing off the true power of a libra ♎️ xD

Another chance anyone who has the balance will always have the upper hand and the upper advantage in battle while the enemy will always have the disadvantage, and it works in a similar way to Shunsui Shikai ability..

Gremmy could just imagine that he didn't have "The Balance" LOL

In other terms, Jugram has the same pattern of Damnatio in Black Clover.

bro really pulled up and said [my shrift is B, the BROKEN!]

The balance shrift is so ironic

Jugram and Uryu's shrift is just basically "No U"

I'll send this video to my friend who said that Jugram has "No chance" against Kenpachi even after I explained how the balance powers work lol

I love seeing quincy videos, please keep them coming!!!

The balance would win against the miracles simply because a miracle is the manifestation of fortune just like Haswalt was able to bypass the iron ability he would do the same thing to the miracle meaning he would not be able to continuously achieve miracles

12:03 but if he can imagine anything and it comes true Can he just imagine that his abilities won't work on him?

I wouldn’t say god like. It shares the damage between the two. It becomes god like due to the shield which absorbs the misfortune. However, the shield does have a limit or can be knocked out. When fighting Ishida his shield was cracking. Also when Jugram fought Squad Zero Tenjiro was able to knock the shield off and take it away.

Gremmy with Visionary can actually kill Jugram, but let's be honest he is to stupid to do that... Against Gerard fight would last until Hashwalth become exhausted and not able to fight and use any abilities anymore.

So interesting how his schrift takes power away from people and his raw ability is to make them more powerful. Almost like the balance is trying to balance out his natural state.

but why hashwalth did not use Volstanding???

I’m a bit confused So don’t Uryu and Hashwalt basically have the same ability Just different steps to it

Almost eerything in the villain's side is OP thats why kubo has to either use yuha, their own powers, shitty deux ex machina (ehem spirit sword nanao), unexplainable metaphorical bs to bring them down.

Can haschwald balance out instand death attacks?

Haschwalth vs D4C Love Train when

Uryu solo if he had the same experience as him

So his power is essentially "no u"

its more of a counter than a balance because he puts his own damage into an invincible shield

so you're basing your broken scale because of it's complexity ??? the balance is op but it's a far cry from the visionary the miracle and the x-axis

So if aizen hits him with kyoka then that "misfortune" would apply back to aizen

do u play type soul?

The power of uno reverse

the balance isn't infinite in it's ability and would probably have reached it's limits pretty quickly if there were more than one opponent and they would only have to damage the shield directly since it's probably the source of it's power.

Brekke Ferry

What if Uyru hurt haschwalth first without using uses power and Haschwalth uses his balance to reflect that damage before Uyru uses his powers

So his power is like D4C Love Train.

His power is useless against Zaraki or yamato because they will not hurt him they will kill him instantly, if your attack is not sufficient to kill him then he can transfer the attack back to you but if your attack is sufficient to kill him then he his a gonna case closed he can't transfer shit if he his dead This is the simple analysis if your attack hurts him he then transfers the pain to the shield and transfer the pain back to you, if you block his attack which is you are fortunate then his schrift converts that fortune to misfortune and then and then bypass your defense that's only applicable if you are using your power I.e your schrift in case of Cang du If you are faster than him that's not a misfortune, The misfortune comes to place when you hurt him or he was able to hurt you and you block as in the case of Cang du, and in ishida's case ishida hurt him If you are faster than him he canot slow you down and become faster his schrift only works if there is contact between you and him he canot defeat cang du easiky if cang du wasn't tied down. If your attack can kill him instantly he can't use his scrift against you Zaraki can easily defeat him with his bankai just a strike is enough and his shield and him will die instantly yamaji's bankai will burn him away New ichigo's bankai will kill him Urahara bankai will kill him The most op ability in bleach is the Miracle What he needs is just to imagine Now let assume instead of cang du being tied down let us assume it's was Grammy the visionary If Grammy assumes his power to be that of jugram and jugram should be powerless what do you think will Happen?

His power isn't balance, it's redirection. He can redirect any misfortune to anyone he wants. That has nothing to do with 'Balance' and it's most likely only called that because Kubo fucked up and needed a 'B' word to explain it.

Full Counter!!!

Can’t the visionary just imagine himself not being defeated.

Honestly I don't think that the Balance can compete with the visionary and the miracle because those schrifts are disgustingly broken

So Jugram is basically a hypocrtie and his ability the balance makes him hypocrite extra.

so, it's basically d4c lt?

We can call it "transferring fortune" but its really nothing more than just saying no you. Kinda boring

First of course

I felt the same that the balance and miracle would stalemate each other. Glad you felt the same

So basically Uryuu and Haschwalth can go back and forth until one of them dies..

The Visionary has too many ways to defeat The Balance.
