The power of a God, the Almighty
After 9 years he regains his strength
After the violent blood war with the Shinigami a thousand years ago, the Quincy Licht Reich was almost destroyed. And the Quincy King went into a deep sleep to recover. The Quincy family was persecuted by the Shinigami and exterminated en masse. Only a few families, such as the Kurosaki or Ishida, remained. The king's remaining loyal servants hid in the shadows, in a new realm called the Wandenreich. There they waited patiently for the time to rise again. They wrote a prophecy, a song to tell of the return of their father and king: Kaiser Gesang.
“The trapped Quincy King…
Gets the pulse back after 900 years.
His mind after 90 years.
His strength after 9 years.
And the world… in 9 days.”
Nine years ago, the Quincy King awoke and to regain his power he performed the Auswählen. A ritual where he forcefully absorbs the power of Quincy he deems unworthy or impure. With this, he took the life of Masaki Kurosaki, who had Hollow reiatsu in him. And Kanae Katagiri, a mixed race Quincy and mother of Uryuu Ishida. After this, the process of regaining his full strength began, and after nine years, he was finally able to open his eyes and activate his true ability: The Almighty.

Could Bleach be getting a remake?
There is a lot of speculation about a potential remake of the original Bleach anime. How likely is that though?
The Almighty allows Yhwach to see everything that will happen in the future. He can see every single possibility at the same time as a grain of sand. He becomes omniscient about the future. This allows him to adapt to the far future, set traps where his opponent will be, and correct countermeasures and all abilities. Also, any ability he sees in the future will not work against him. He can adapt and change the future in his favor. That is the true power of the Almighty.
“I couldn't imagine…That I could see so much with my eyes closed”
Future Acausality allows Quincy King to change the future in any way he wishes. If there is a future that results in his death, he can change it to prevent it. If there is an ability in the future that can defeat him, he can destroy such power before it is even activated. The Almighty effectively gives Yhwach omnipotence. With this ability, Yhwach becomes virtually invincible, as there is no defense, understanding, or countermeasure against his god-like power. He stands on top as Quincy King, The Almighty.

Bleach: Why Was Vizored So Disappointing?
The renegade Soul Reapers with hollow powers were built up to be very powerful and important, but they unfortunately fell by the wayside.
Yhwach had to wait a full nine years to regain his strength and activate his power. If he had done it before, it would go out of control, causing him to accidentally rob his Sternritter of their power. But now his majesty has awakened, and he becomes the single most powerful being in Whiten. With total omnipotence, he can see and alter the future to always ensure his victory over the Shinigami and Soul Society. Now that Yhwach has awakened, the Almighty ane has defeated Squad 0, only Ichigo and the Gotei 13 are about to take the world after nine days.
Based on Tite Kubo's Battle Shonen manga, Bleach revolves around Ichigo, a high school student who is drawn into the world of the Soul Reapers. The original anime ended in 2012, but it was revived in 2022.
