Kaiser Gesang/ The Emperor's song Der versiegelte König von Quincy Erhält seinen Puls nach 900 Jahren zurück Seinen Verstand nach 90 Jahren Seine Kraft nach 9 Jahren Und die Welt in 9 Tagen

Traditional art. Inspired by Yhwach's song and illuminated manuscripts. A4 mixed media, most of the golden parts shine like gold so it looks a bit odd scanned.

I learned a lot of things since I started this so I plan on redoing it with the official German version of the lyrics and other corrections. I refuse to call this a finished version, more like a trial ver. of an illuminated manuscript.

In a series with this. Sketch undercut.

Yhwach further proves his hardcore bonafides by choosing "arrow to the chest" as his preferred method of locomotion. But he's not scary, not the way Ichibe is. I haven't had a Bleach character give me chills like this since the End of Hypnosis.

Yeah, Ichigo accepting OMZangetsu isn't 'I'm accepting a part of myself I've rejected'. No, its 'I'm accepting a foreign entity into my soul and purposely forging a weakness into my own powers that'll allow my greatest enemy to devour them without difficulty or recourse'.

There's no other way I can say it; Ichigo flat out fucked up. Because not only did he forge a the Yhwach soul fragment into his Shinigami powers, he gave Yhwach the perfect means to steal those powers without consequence because the Shinigami part can comfortably contain the Hollow.

I expected Yhwach himself to call Ichigo out as an idiot. To the spirit of: 'Anyone who discovered that shard in their soul were smart enough to expel the parasite as soon as they could. Now I can turn you into my infinitely rechargeable power battery. Thanks for being a dumb shit.'

Yep, yep, yep, and YEP.

I believe Ichigo got so emotionally damaged (like me during that time), that he couldn't really think further into the future. Of what it would actually mean for him (and Zangetsu), to allow OMZ to become a part of his being.

Like whenever I re-read the chapter when he 'accepts him' he literally says:

'I don't care who you are'.

And I'm like .-.

"Sweetheart, you should care. Is a matter of your soul! Of what composes your own frickin soul!!! How can you even say that!??! Do you know what can happen to you with something like that!??! Are you deciding to ignore everything he did to you (and Zangetsu)!?!?!?"

Of course, young me wouldn't have the faintest idea of the dangers that decision encompassed, but as we were proven right, on the later chapters, he gets his powers stolen by Yhwach, thanks to that Quincy part inside of him, and his soul left in a critical state.

Like, Ichigo entered a state of straight up denial after the revelation, he forgot everything, he threw it out the window, along with all his braincells, he didn't think of the consequences, but wait, no no, I don't care about the fate of the world.

I'm mainly talking about his soul, himself, about Zangetsu.

What about him!? What- does he even get a say in the matter..? No. Of course not. It made me so mad back then but the emotional damage from OMZ's betrayal made me misdirect my anger towards Ichigo instead of the one who was actually at fault: OMZ.

He was the reason Ichigo didn't give two fucks about his own soul and started worshipping the soul shard of a decrepit, old, disgusting, Quincy 'king' that only wanted to kill him.

Gods, it makes me so mad cuz I got angry at Ichigo when he was just being deceived and brainwashed by OMZ's words and his crocodile tears.

Zangetsu was perfectly balanced as the shinigami and hollow powers. Idc.

I just can't with this anymore. Is too much.

Zangetsu deserved better and Ichigo deserved to be woken up and give the proper love and attention to Zangetsu.

And Old Man Zangetsu doesn't even deserve to carry the name 'Zangetsu'.

Thanks for the ask btw.

Another thing that amazes me about Bleach; about Shounen in general, but Bleach specifically: Despite being a teenager, Ichigo somehow found it in his heart to forgive his guardians and caretakers for lying to him his entire life.

Think about this for a minute;

Imagine you're Ichigo. You grew up believing you were human - albeit an extraordinarily gifted one. Then when you're 15-16, in the face of the worst enemy you've fought to date, you discover the hard way that you're not completely human. You're a human-shinigami hybrid with a dash of hollow spliced in. A fact proven when your Shinigami father - apparently a former Captain - swoops into the fray to save you from... talking?

You don't have time to process this event because there's more pressing concerns to handle, but the revelation has thrown you off your game. A tiny part of you has sunken into an existential spiral of doubt, wondering what else in your life you've been lied to about.

Then, in the face of that same enemy, your recently-revealed Shinigami father forces you to learn a technique that sacrifices all of your powers and a portion of your soul - the very things that give your life meaning. You do it because you've been convinced there's no other option and you're too emotionally distraught (and emotionally blackmailed) to even entertain the idea of saying no.

Then a couple years later, you discover, no, you're not human at all and never were. You're a Shinigami-Hollow-Quincy hybrid. A fact you only discover through the enemy's head honcho, who reveals himself to be your great times X grand sire.

Only after you've been thoroughly humiliated in trials organised by the High Lords of the Shinigami, trials they knew you'd fail, after you fought so valiantly to defend them against their new enemy, your father decides to come clean, all the while goading you with your own ignorance.

That intense conversation reveals the true species and fate of your mother, validating that tiny legitimate fear you've had since learning your father's true nature; your entire life is built on a lie.

In addition to that, the horrible tragedy that haunted your days since you were nine years old wasn't your fault in the slightest. Your father knew that with absolute certainty but did nothing to alleviate your guilt, which could've led to you healing that scar sooner. Instead he chose to allow you to continue believing your self-destructive lie, knowing full well what it was doing to you psychologically.

The entire conversation serves as proof the adults in your life, whom were entrusted with raising, caring and protecting you, knew the truth about what you were even before your conception, but did absolutely nothing to prepare you for what such a life would entail.

Even back when you were first thrust into your powers, those same "guardians" did the absolute bare minimum to prepare you before tossing you into the jaws of death over and over again as a convenient superpowered cudgel to solve messes they created.

And what's the cherry on top of this bullshit sundae? The being you're supposed to trust above all else, your own zanpakutou partner... isn't your zanpakutou. Its a parasite that's manipulated you against the one person - the only person - who has never lied to you, for its own selfish ends. And somehow it expects to be allowed to remain in your soul, thanks to shedding some crocodile tears.

That is Ichigo's life.

He has been lied to. He's been manipulated. His entire perception of self and reality has been shattered over and over again. And he's been fundamentally betrayed by everyone whose supposed to care and protect him. In the face of all that, a teenager like Ichigo would not be accepting. He should be angry. He should be furious. He should want nothing to do with these people anymore.

In the face of all this; I would've preferred if Ichigo went through the TYBW arc with the angry attitude of "this is the last thing I do for any of you. Once this war's over, I'm disappearing off the face of the planet because I refuse to associate with any of you again." because any teenager who had their trust so thoroughly betrayed on so many levels would.

Random new year thought that I might make into a fanfic at some point:

Ichigo is meant to be this perfect culmination-slash-combination of everything but imagine an AU where Ichigo's contradicting origins (Shinigami/Hollow/Human/Quincy gag) actively handicapped him. Not the lazy 'Yhawch parasite holding him back' explanation. Simply by his very nature, its impossible for any of his powers to manifest to advanced levels without threatening to implode.

Try to advance his Hollow powers? His Quincy powers deteriorate.

Try to advance his Quincy powers? His Hollow powers deteriorate.

Try to advance his Shinigami powers? His Hollow powers love every second but his Quincy side weakens dramatically.

Try to advance Shinigami and Quincy together? Hollow wants a slice of the pie.

Try to advance Hollow and Quincy? Gets no where slowly because they're anathema - very nearly killing himself in the process.

No amount of 'achieving inner balance' would help him with it because by the nature of his existence, he lacks capacity to do these things. The only reason Ichigo managed to gain a high tier shinigami technique like Bankai in the first place? Yoruichi used a doll to force out a twisted malformed parody out of him.

Which would place a whole new spin on the asauchi trial when he fails: O'etsu reveals Ichigo's bankai shattered so easily because he was never supposed to have one in the first place.

Ichigo can never obtain a true Bankai or Vollstandig or Resurrección because the other aspects of his powers violently reject that from happening. At best he can mix-max his base stats to levels far beyond anything others could achieve but he would never obtain the advanced techniques of a pure Shinigami, Hollow or Quincy.

Ichigo could be like Luke Skywalker from Star Wars. Compared to the powerhouses of Kyle Katarn or Starkiller aka. Galen Marek, Luke is actually quite weak. But he brought balance to the force, he brought down an empire and his very name has the ability to shakes worlds (before Disney ruined him).

In my mind, that is the ultimate power Ichigo should've had. Not copious amounts of actual power piled upon him by being a cosmic paradox and freak of nature. His power comes from his symbolism, his feats of will, his ability to inspire change and unshakeable loyalty through sheer force of personality.

Especially since one themes of Bleach is how power shackles and isolates a person. The complete opposite of that theme would be not necessarily the most powerful character, but one with the greatest ability to forge bonds despite that?

It'd be interesting to see how Bleach's narrative would change from that perspective.

Anyone ever thought about how Bleach's greatest tragedy is Ichigo's desire was to fight fate but has never had a shred of agency his entire life?

Even when Ichigo sincerely believes he's acting of his own accord; he's merely the puppet dancing to another's strings?

Aizen manipulated his parents into meeting, manipulated Rukia into meeting him.

Kisuke manipulated Ichigo from behind the scenes while Ichigo tried to save Rukia, forcing him to learn skills waaaay above his paygrade before he was remotely ready to further Kisuke's own plans. It could be argued that Ichigo's entire existence was planned according to Kisuke's designs.

Isshin manipulated/forced him to learn Deux Ex Saigo no Getsuga Tenshou without telling him the cost, because apparently it was the 'only way' - despite having Kisuke "I plan for ten thousand scenarios" Urahara on his side. And did little in the way of helping his powerless literally soul-torn son cope with the monumental sacrifice after the fact.

Ginjo Kugo and his followers manipulated Ichigo by stringing along the prospect of gaining Fullbring, so they could steal it to have their revenge on Soul Society. Made easier due to the aforementioned apparent lack of support from Isshin.

Sword!Yhwach has manipulated Ichigo the entire time by turning him against his own soul, sabotaging his growth and ability to harness his powers.

Ichibei manipulated him into undergoing that trial to turn him into a Soul King vessel with the intention of chopping him up as the replacement.

Yhwach manipulated Ichigo into killing the Soul King.

"Give me a blade to shatter fate." is a sad joke and poor Ichigo is the walking punchline.

No wonder why no one told him anything about himself until the last minute. An ignorant tool is an easily manipulated tool.

Sweet Dreams

Yhwach couldn’t help himself while seeing you sleep on his bed, you were just that endearing.

I was horny and I wanted to do something with somnophilia with Yhwach, also WARNING: CNC (consensual non-consent) somnophilia, because you literally do not know, but you guys are wifey and hubby. 

ALSO SORRY THIS WAS KIND OF LATE, MY POWER AT MY HOUSE WENT DOWN AND I WAS LIKE FUCCCCCCCCCK

~~~~~~

Yhwach usually slept well, but tonight was awfully difficult. He didn’t know if it was the cold winter air or the soft crackling of the dying fire in the fire pit that was distracting his sleep or the fact that you were next to him, sleeping peacefully. You, laying on your back while your head was turned to face him as you slept. Oh the way it made him smile, the way you make him feel alive, the way you make him uncontrollable, especially cold winter nights when you cling on to him. You constantly plagued his mind and invaded his thoughts, it was a blessing curse and he didn’t care if it disturbed his sleep. 

He looked at your sleeping figure and he couldn’t help, but stroked your cheek with his knuckles. “The way you plague me, princess.” he whispered. “I’m beginning to lose sleep, because I can’t hold myself back when you’re next to me.” Yhwach sat up from the bed and gently pulled down the sheets. You shivered at the cold air that breezed through your clothes and he chuckled again as his hand went to the hem of your nightgown. “I apologize in advance, my love, it’ll get a little colder, but it’ll only be temporary.” Yhwach muttered. He placed his lips on your soft one as he lifted up your nightgown up to your collarbone, exposing your bare breasts, stomach, thighs, and most of all, your cunt. “Beautiful. Absolutely heavenly.” he breathed through his soft kiss. He pulled away, checking if you’ve woken up, but to no avail as you were still softly snoring and your face neutral.

Cautious, he settles himself between your thighs, placing your legs over his shoulders and kissing your inner thigh. Despite the cold air, your body was burning and your cunt was beginning to soak as he teasingly and dangerously was close to your folds, kissing your inner thigh. “If you were awake by now, you’d be begging me to taste you.” Yhwach husked. “But tonight will be quite different.” 

Yhwach lapped his tongue against your folds, tasting your sweet nectar that was finally releasing. He lapped between your folds a couple of times before he wrapped his mouth around your clit and began to softly sucking. He heard you softly moan as he ate you out and he deeply chuckled as he sucked harder. Your hips twitched and quickly he held them down as he became rougher and faster, he listened to your groaning and your hips twitching and slightly jerking. He hummed in amusement before inserting two fingers. Your walls squeezed around his thick fingers and he slowly pumped in and out, hearing the wet slick lubricate on his fingers. 

“Mgnh…ah….!”

You came on his mouth and fingers, he hummed in excitement, he let you off this time since you were asleep. Usually when you were awake and came without permission, he would stop and punish you by edging you even further. The longest he’s edged you was nearly forty minutes and he practically made you cry when you finally came. 

He pulled out his fingers and sat up to see the mess he had created. He smirks as he wipes his lips and mustache before licking his fingers, tasting your sweet juice. “Delicious as always, princess.” he muttered. He saw your chest inhaling and exhaling trying to breathe normally and your stressed face going back to being relaxed and sleepy, he chuckled to himself as he knew what was coming next. He took off his pants, revealing his thick cock that was leaking of pre-cum, he spread his pre-cum around the tip of his penis, giving himself a couple of strokes before positioning himself. Your legs were by his waist and one of his hands held yours as he leaned down to you. “Here I come, my love.” he said. 

Yhwach slowly entered his member inside of you, slowly slipping inch by inch in your wet cavern. He quickly hummed himself as he watched your face twisted in pleasure while sleeping as his cock was finally snugged in your pussy. “By the gods…your cunt, still so tight even when you’re slumbering.” he whispered. “Uh…huh?” you moaned. You were beginning to wake up and your eyes widened when you saw your majesty on top of you and felt his cock inside. “Your Majesty…?” you yawned. “I see you awoken princess.” He whispered and kissed your cheek. “Was I being too loud?” 

“No…not particularly…” you muttered with a yawn. “Why didn’t you wake me up earlier?”

“I couldn’t help myself, little princess. I had to take you right there and then.”

“Hm…I was quite worried who was touching me, but it’s just you indulging a little too much sin.”

“A sin that you’ve bewitched upon me. Something that I don’t mind of course.” he chuckled. You giggled back despite being tired, but you didn’t mind. You kissed his cheek, ignoring the little hairs of his mustache that tickled you while he embraced you. In his embrace, he slowly pulled out his cock until only the tip was inside and pushed back inside of you, and you softly moaned as he repeated the process. “Y-your Majesty.” you shuddered. He shushed you by kissing you which you happily returned back as he continuously thrusted inside of you.

Your walls clenched and tightened as you felt your stomach ache and twisted as he penetrated your sweet spot more and more. “Yhwach…” you whispered. He hummed as you whispered his name and he shoved deeper inside of you. “Again. Say my name again.” he commanded. 

“Yhwach.”

“Again.”

“Yhwach.”

You repeated moaning his name as he moved inside of you. Despite the fact you two were exhausted and much needed sleep, you two felt like you were in heaven. Not caring about anything else, but each other. His grip became tighter as you felt his cock twitch inside of you, you knew he was at his limit and you kissed his temple gesturing him to cum. “Yhwach… cum…cum with me please.” you whispered as you were feeling your climax reaching. He kissed your neck as an affirmative answer. After a couple of more rough, but slow thrusts, you felt his cum flood through your cunt, mixing your fluids together. 

Yhwach laid on top of you and your hands ran through his long raven hair, relaxing him as he breathed on top. “You did wonderful, your majesty.” you smiled. “You as well princess.” he replied. He gives you a soft kiss on the cheek and just pulls the blankets over both of you and carefully flips you over, making you lay on top of his chest. 

“Your Majesty…” you yawned as you felt sleepiness take over your mind and body.

“Yes princess?”

“I love you.”

“I love you as well, my princess.” he whispered before kissing your head as you dozed off.
