Talk:Nigh Omniscience/@comment-24026354-20141218232833/@comment-24053170-20141220221718

One thing we do know for certain about Yhwach is he is actually responisble for the entire plot of Bleach, everything that happened in the entire series he is responisble for in some way or another, in fact if he didn't exist then Bleach would never actually happen. Everything can be traced back to him, even the existence of the Gotei 13 is his doing. If he didn't have nigh omniscience then he would have been permanently defeated a long time ago.

He knows everything that will happen, past, present and future. And the reason its Nigh omniscience and not true is because if he awakened his power before he was ready he would have lost them and the sternritter would have all lost there powers as well.

HIs level of omniscience is similar to the Watchers who also possess this power. I am not comparing him to the Living Tribunal because he was created by the OAA with that limitation already in place. I hope that explains my point.

And we already know what the Soul KIng is capable of both from the anime and one of the movies, while its true that his full power has yet to be shown, we have seen and heard glimpses of what he is capable of, add to the fact he is basically the equivlent to God in the series(though to me the description of him makes him seem more like Eru Illuvatar from the Tolkien verse.)

Hopefully that clarifies things for you.
