Reposting this for anime-onlys and people in the back row
Bleach fandom is known for its ridiculous ships. Iâve been thinking how dumb and forced Bazz-B x Haschwalth ship looks for a long time. And how it contradicts charactersâ personalities. Some delusional fangirls try to justify this forced ship only because of a crappy flashback. When in fact that flashback breaks it into shambles. It shows what kind of shitty selfish person Bazz-B was, and that he never treated Haschwalth like his true friend. He always cared only about himself. Bazz-B was staying with Haschwalth only because of pity and a sense of superiority which he got near the powerless (as he thought) boy.
This flashback confirmed that Haschwalth would never have any close relationship with a person who reminds him of his childish hardships. We saw how Bazz-B aggressively tossed the bottle of wine and pushed away Quincy waitress in the chapter about Uryuâs arrival to Silbern. It looks like Bazz-B is a heavy drinker and an abuser. And Haschwalthâs uncle in the past was also shown as an alcoholic with a bottle. No one would want a relationship that triggers bad memories and ptsd. Haschwalth would rather distance himself from Bazz-B as much as possible and would never date him. Itâs totally understandable.
Bazz-Bâs behavior when he discovered that Haschwalth was actually much more talented and powerful than him showed everything you need to know about his so-called âfriendshipâ. From the beginning he proclaimed Haschwalth to be his âfollowerâ, not a friend. Itâs possible that Bazz-B never had friends before exactly because of such attitude. We saw him wandering alone in the woods. If he wanted âfollowersâ which he could push around, of course kids wouldnât like it. It shows that he was always spoiled and unpleasant since childhood. And he saw Haschwalth as a servant who must praise great Bazz-B and admire him. He was only interested in getting more power, not love.
Bazz-B never considered Haschwalth his equal ally, moreover he openly thought about him as a nuisance. He even thought that one of them might not accomplish his revenge plan against Yhwach. And of course it was Haschwalth who would fail in his view. Bazz-B didnât need a friend or lover, he needed someone weaker to feel more cool and powerful in comparison. That totally explains why he lost his shit when Yhwach said that Bazz-B became powerful only thanks to Haschwalth.
Bazz-B became angry at his âfriendâ while Haschwalth didnât even do anything bad to him. On the contrary he unconsciously made Bazz-B stronger, so little jerk should have been thankful to him. But Bazz-B never thanked him, neither he was happy for Haschwalth who always wanted to be stronger and diligently trained for it. Instead Bazz-B became envy at the very moment when he knew that Haschwalth was better than him. What an asshole. Where is the âloveâ that fangirls see in such relationship? Itâs laughable. Iâm sure no normal person would want to have such âfriendâ as Bazz B in real life.
I think that was the moment when Haschwalth understood what a disgusting person Bazz-B was and felt betrayed. He still asked Yhwach to choose Bazz-B instead, because of kindness. But Bazz-B was pissed at Haschwalth even for it. What an ungrateful, envious and spiteful person. He only needs âfriendsâ who are weaker than him, thatâs as shitty character as you can get.
Itâs also possible that little Haschwalth was jealous of Bazz-Bâs rich and comfortable lifestyle and secretly wanted for Bazz-B to experience misfortunes too. Thatâs completely natural for a poor kid and doesnât make him bad. Besides Bazz-B was always a show off. That would explain why Haschwalth got a Schrift that takes away luck from others. It seems that Haschwalth is not a good friend for Bazz-B, because he wanted him to lose all luck and suffer. He secretly wished him the worst, but he had no choice but to keep him company to survive in the woods. There are zero warm feelings in such relationship.
Also that revenge plan for Yhwach was created only by Bazz-B in the first place. He never noticed that Haschwalth didnât care about it. For Haschwalth that fire was a deliverance from his horrible life with an abuser. You can clearly see that he wasnât upset about it. Haschwalth never showed any eagerness to fulfill this crazy idea, he obviously was thankful to Yhwach who indirectly freed him. He tagged along with Bazz-B simply because he had no other place to go. And Bazz-B never asked his opinion, being the egoistical jerk as always. He was too self-absorbed to really care about his âfriendâsâ feelings. So Haschwalth never had any reason for revenge. If Bazz-B actually understood him at least a little he wouldnât demand that revenge from Haschwalth. But he always cared only for himself.
When Yhwach said that he needed Haschwalth, the young Quincy became so happy, you can see it in his eyes. It was the first time in his life he heard such kind words. Bazz-B obviously never said anything like this to him. If they had a kind of relationship fangirls fantasize about, Bazz-B would have expressed his feelings with similar words. But Bazz-B only saw him as a nuisance and later as a rival. Even when they got an opportunity to fulfill a revenge plan due to Haschwalth being recruited, Bazz-B wasnât happy for him.
To sum it up, Bazz-B always looked down on Haschwalth, never needed him, became disgustingly jealous and angry when his âfriendâ turned out to be better at something. This isnât friendship and of course itâs nothing close to love. Bazz-B betrayed Haschwalth because of his jealousy. Meanwhile Haschwalth found the first person in his life who needed him - Yhwach. He gave Haschwalth purpose in life, love and care. You can see that he treated Haschwalth good from the moment they met when he patted his head caringly. And then Haschwalth instantly decided to join Yhwach and his army, and to forget envious asshole Bazz-B. It shows how much he needed even this little care and wanted to be helpful to someone.
One of the most retarded ideas the fangirls got is that Haschwalth was somehow bewitched or brainwashed by Yhwach. But it was clearly shown that Haschwalth chose to serve him out of his own free will for the reasons stated above. Yhwach never imposed any beliefs onto him, Haschwalth was always acting voluntarily and made his own choices. Actually the flashback confirmed that Haschwalth would never be faithful and serve under some tyrant or abusive person. Since he already had bad experience with abuse in the past, he would only trust a man who was kind and caring to him.
Considering all of this Haschwalth naturally had no reason to regret about Bazz-B later. Besides it was Bazz-B who attacked his âfriendâ with a killing intent, while Haschwalth told him to stop several times and fought back in self-defense. Bazz-B couldnât get over his butthurt for a millennia, think about it lmao. Yhwach was always much more important to Haschwalth, itâs not even comparable. The Grandmaster killed Bazz-B without any regrets, itâs even stated in the text. In the end he was saying:
âTo make oneâs own choice and proceed along that path of oneâs own choosing, that is what matters. I have no regrets. Not even one. â
Official English version can be inaccurate, but thatâs a literal translation from Japanese. So Haschwalth didnât have a single regret for killing Bazz-B and was happy to serve Yhwach till the end. While Bazz-B was thinking that he is still weaker than Haschwalth even during his final moments. Really pathetic. His grudge lasted for centuries and all that mattered to him was victory over his old âfriendâ. He only cared about his stupid pride, which was wounded by Haschwalth who turned out to be stronger. Wow, Bazz-B takes egocentrism on the next level. He never thought about Haschwalthâs feelings, neither he could be happy for his âfriendâ.Â
Itâs hilarious how hypocritical Bazz-Bâs fangirls are. Before they started to ship him with Haschwalth, they tried to push Bazz-B into other random pairings with Meninas, Cang Du or Renji. But all those ships were instantly forgotten. It shows that they were desperately trying to ship him at least with somebody, they didnât really care about the relationship and compatibility of the characters. Bazz-B was also hated for killing Kira, and at that time no one was defending him, meaning they didnât give a shit for their supposed darling until he betrayed Quincies and turned into another Goteiâs pawn.
Haschwalth was basically ignored by those dumb fangirls in the first half of the TYBW arc. They noticed him only after the flashback when they saw a potential for a new retarded ship. But if you pay actual attention while reading the manga, youâll see there werenât hints for ship in that flashback. Rather it confirmed that their relationship was bitter and hostile - thanks to Bazz-B himself. Besides childish friendship doesnât mean characters are in love automatically, itâs retarded to look at two children as lovers. Those fangirls are really perverted to think like that.
Itâs sad that Haschwalth gets an unpleasant attention from rabid fangirls with their creepy fantasies. This always happens with beautiful characters in shitty fandoms, and Haschwalth is very handsome. Actually they noticed him only because of his looks, they clearly never cared about his motives or personality.
On the other hand, during the whole arc Kubo showed Haschwalthâs affection and care towards Yhwach and their mutual trust in each other. Haschwalth was literally called his other half, and Yhwach trusted him with his life when Haschwalth took his powers at night.
But most of fangirls canât see their connection only because they consider Yhwach too old and because he is the enemy of the Gotei. And they are of course Shinigami fans in the first place. Very stupid, in other fandoms there is a lot of love for older characters and MCâs enemies. Actually Yhwach isnât much older than Kyoraku by appearance. Moreover Shunsui looks bara-level disgusting with his body hair, but it was never a problem for Gotei fangirls to ship him with different characters. So the main reason fangirls dislike Yhwach must be because he is Shinigamisâ enemy. Really pathetic for self-proclaimed Quincy fans.
Haschwalthâs relationship with Yhwach always showed the greatest level of trust between them. As was mentioned already, Yhwach even gives his power to Haschwalth. It was very dangerous for Yhwach to remain powerless when he had so many enemies around. Some of them even in Silbern such as traitor Uryu. Still, he did it. This must be because he was absolutely sure that Haschwalth would never betray him. He wasnât stupid, we saw that several Sternritters later betrayed him, but Yhwach wasnât surprised, meaning he considered such a possibility for some of them. But for Haschwalth he had only complete trust and relied on him with his greatest vulnerability. Also even when Yhwach got back his ability to see the future, he continued to exchange his power with Haschwalth. That can only mean there wasnât any betrayal from his Grandmaster literally in all possible futures that the Almighty can see.
So theories that say Haschwalth betrayed him are moronic. He clearly wanted to warn Yhwach and save him, thatâs why he was sending him the visions of the future that Yhwach mistook for dreams. Actually when Yhwach realized that, there was a close up on his eye while he was remembering Haschwalth. And his gaze softened a lot compared to those he had before. Kubo even specifically drew a shine in his eyes which we havenât seen before. Looks like there were tears in his eyes while he was thinking of someone very precious, which was Haschwalth of course.
As was stated above from the manga quote, in the end Haschwalth had not a single regret. Which further confirms that he helped Yhwach voluntarily and would have done the same again. He wanted to go with Yhwach, wanted to serve him and be with him, and had nothing to hate him for. When Haschwalth thought that, he reached out his hand towards Yhwach. That scene also showed that he wasnât interested in helping Uryu. He didnât care what would happen with Uryu or others, he wasnât even looking at him at the moment.
And of course that quote about no regrets reaffirms that Haschwalth thought he was right to kill Bazz-B. Funny how fangirls still make a big deal out of that button, which was merely a memento of old days. He was thinking that he had no regrets exactly at the moment when the button was showed. Which means exactly that - he never regretted that he left that envious jerk and chose another life next to Yhwach. Also the way Haschwalth reached out his hand for Yhwach resembled a romantic gesture. This gesture is commonly used to show how lovers are reaching out to each other. For a note, the same gesture has been interpreted as a sign of romantic affection by UlqiHime fangirls for a long time. Well, Haschwalth was also literally saying that he is happy because only him alone could be of use to Yhwach, so there isnât much room for interpretation. He was loyal till the end and didnât have regrets for his choice to be with man he loved.
When speaking about Bleach ending you should also keep in mind that manga was axed and Kubo changed many initial ideas and cut off many plotlines. There were numerous things left unanswered and unfinished. Either it was his health or pressure from the editors because of low ratings, but itâs evident that he ended manga very abruptly and had to wrap up everything very quickly without thinking of any consistency or charactersâ logical actions.
So a lot of OOC and charactersâ weird behavior in the end was a result of this mess. Certainly, Yhwach would never hurt Haschwalth and other Quincies if manga kept coherent plot. Considering all of these facts, final events in manga canât be taken as canon charactersâ actions, itâs a direct contradiction to their early images. Regardless of any final changes, Yhwach and Haschwalthâs special relationship, strong bond and mutual care still stays there as part of true canon plot.
