1) Agreed, just saw Genjutsu being called "not tp" n thought I'd try and clarify. Wasn't aware of the context or how it's relevant.
2) But how can Ichibei have dominion over anything if that dominion was taken from him? That's his power, right? And it was taken, right? But he still had it...right?
3) No, death is described to us as the normal consequence of being hit by the light. It is explained very clearly that it takes back his powers whether you are hit by the light or not. What power? The powers he bestowed to the Sternritter, when he gave them their letter...and yet the Sternritter still have the powers he bestowed after he took them back.
4) Gerard died when he was hit by the light, like he was supposed to because that's what we are told happens. There is nothing to say his power was not in effect, the guy's skeleton is still massive...in fact even if they plainly stated he lost his powers for real-for real, on panel, he would still be the outlier at this point considering every other quincy still had theirs. ...and Hasch was no different from any of the others, other than he lived a few seconds longer after being hit by the light. Otherwise, he's just using powers after Ywhach took them. Again. As has become the norm...
5. They say they specifically saw his defeat. Hash even says it, almost word for word, a few more times just to hammer it in. Ichigo was defeated while using his hollowgami powers. If they saw that, they saw that Ichigo has hollowgami powers (not that it should even suprise them) at that moment. Or "can" have hollowgami powers at that moment. Either way, that is his all seeing eye not seeing all, once again.
6. He had seen KS, knows all about KS (in fact Ywhach knows Aizen personally, despite having been in hiding for the 1000 years he did not have Almighty....so he even had Almighty when he met Aizen and first saw KS)...yet KS wasn't powerless against him, and he could not see its later use coming at any point prior despite his apparent ability to do just that. Either he failed to see it or he failed to stop it after having seen it, you can go either way it is still, on some level, a fail.
7. He had alot of time to just hang out and look at all the futures, yet he couldn't see Aizen's predictable use of KS with Ichigo when predicting a fight with Aizen and Ichigo. Almighty, yes, definately. Unless you're suggesting Aizen had planned ahead and planted "In like a day and a half see Ichigo and Renji attacking you and don't attack the spots I'm assuming the real ones, both of whom will definately be there, will stand," ahead of time...which is silly (and unevidented). He had to have done that later, during the actual fight...and if Aizen used KS at any point for anything after Almighty was activated, by Ywhach's own description he should have seen it coming. The obvious conclusion would be either his Almighty or his ability to use it have a concerning fail rate. Or both, given his statement that even dumb luck can trump Almighty (2nd Ichigo bankai break, that part was an illusion but his explaination was his own words). Regardless of all 3 options, the outcome is the same: Almighty has a concerning fail rate.
8. It's not really PIS when it keeps happening like this, this is the fourth and most blatent instance of this in a row that I've listed so far. Coincidentally, in reference to another thread, I rofld at this knowing the dimension snipe is Kaguya's opening move. Anyway, yea man...He just straight up got hit by something he knew all about. If you want to play the PIS card to discredit this feat, I mean...you should probably keep in mind that his entire power is PIS lol: He literally manipulates events i.e. the plot...and yet can't seem to stop dropping the ball, which is the stupidity part :p. What I'm saying is: PIS is not PIS when it is literally your character. Even worse, most PIS-powered characters, including Ywhach, come pre-packaged with their greatest weakness...CIS. Not to be confused with WIS, which is just Bleach altogether (ok, that was a low blow, ik. I'm sorry).
9. Kryptonite he didn't see coming, despite having the power to see things coming.
10. You're arguing that someone who could see and change all futures at will didn't have the opportunity to see and change his future at literally any point, even before confronting Aizen. Come on, man. Aizen can't see the future, he can't choose a future for Ywhach, he just makes really life-like blow-up dolls...I mean illusions. He can't use people's powers for them, and his only work NOW. If KS could effect Ywhach's choices involving his power, he never would have come back to life. The reasonable assessment here would be that Yhwach's powers, both to see and change all futures, are so vulnerable to misjudgment, random luck, their own unclear limitations, and actual character stupidity that not only can he make a judgement lapse (especially under illusions), but his powers might not even work properly even if he does everything right (Ichigo's blade's potential to resist breaking, new KS illusions cast post-activation, failure to predict or counter Ishida's driveby, ect).
IMO, Ywhach's strongest DEPENDABLE hax is that he can prep to steal (for real real) one specific type of power after like 1000 years. He can't use it, apparently, but the other guy doesn't have it either, so...there's that. Better than "Maybe I'll cut you in the future or maybe I wont, but probably...or not...or will I?"
