Shiro Sagisu Fate's music should be Yhwach's theme in the Bleach anime.
The Issue
We would like to kindly request Studio Pierrot to consider adding Shiro Sagisu's song 'Fate' to the Bleach Thousand Year Blood War series as Yhwach's theme. The music would be a great fit for Yhwach's character.
The reasons were outlined by a Reddit user, but I agree with them so much that I would like to use this and show it to you."
Here are the reasons why:
"The lyrics fit well with Yhwach and the instruments and sounds do well to represent him and TYBW as a whole. I will discuss the lyrics first, and then the orchestra.
The lyrics deliver a chill down your spine, especially once you understand the words, like most of Shiro sagius works. At first you may think it is a separate language but it is Infact English. They add onto to the atmosphere of the theme and represent Yhwach surprisingly well. When viewed as if all the lyrics were an inner monologue of Yhwach, it actually fits very well.
Lyrics
What will the future hold How will I be rewarded Have I the right to riches In a world where there are no prizes
Who makes the clock tick by When will my fate be ready Do I get prior warning Am I told? Are there no surprises
I have to count my blessings I have to learn my lessons My fate is in the balance I must go on believing
The first line says, What will the future hold, which is perfect for yhwachs ability the almighty. What will the future hold is probably what he'd think to himself many times throughout the war.
The next lines are
How will I be rewarded? Have I the right to riches In a world where there are no prizes
These 3 lines don't have direct similarities like the others. If looked at from yhwachs perspective you can say this is him contemplating the end result of his war. After defeating the soul Reaper and finally killing his father, did he really win? When there is nothing to really win in this world? Will the world really change for the better? He wants to set his father free but he will also lose the current world as its cost. Perhaps his father would have wanted it like this and maybe the world truly is better off like this. Regardless he will go through despite never finding all that out.
Who makes the clock tick by
The soul king is the one and Yhwach knows that. Once he absorbed his powers it was then Yhwach who made the clock tick by as the supreme ruler. Maybe this is a reminder of yhwachs objective, of relieving the soul king and becoming the ruler in his place.
When will my fate be ready Do I get prior warning Am I told? Are there no surprises
These 3 lines aren't a direct fit either but they can work. What is Yhwach final fate. Death. defeat. Victory. Perhaps something worse (CFYOW�) Would he get any clear warnings? Any surprises? You can refer this to yhwach scoping the future with the almighty again, to figure out and change his fate. He is looking at whether things will go according to plan or if there will be surprises, like ichigo and uryu.
Finally, the next part fits surprisingly well to yhwach.
I have to count my blessings I have to learn my lessons My fate is in the balance I must go on believing
I have to count my blessings, which could symbolize yhwachs shrifts which he bestowed to the his fellow Quincy. Blessings would be the actual shrifts or even the sternritter members.
I have to learn my lessons, would stand for yhwach using the allmighty to learn as much as he can to survive and win this war.
My fate is in the balance. His fate rests upon the balance. This could represent the fate of world now resting upon yhwachs hands or, the shrift of his most trusted man jugram haschwalt, the balance. Jugram takes over yhwachs power when yhwach sleeps making him just as important as yhwach. That is why the balance is of utmost importance to his fate.
I must go on believing. Yhwach must believe in his cause, his self no matter what. No matter what others think, he knows the truth and knows what the righteous path is. He knows of the dark past of the soul society and the betrayal of the soul king. Despair is only a tool to bring upon to others, a weapon to cripple his enemies as it has no space in his mind.
All of this is what yhwach will do in an attempt to win this war for his kind. If looked at it like that, it seems like something that yhwach would repeat to himself, reminding himself of what needs to be done.
Imagine how badass that would be, with yhwach chanting this verse in his mind whenever he is in hardship.
With the lyrics now covered I will go through the background music.
The theme has snare drums beating throughout it. The snare drum has always been used to march in the military, giving it the kind meaning that the quincys are on the verge of war. This fits very well with the TYBW. That said the snare isn't the only drum there also is another one in the background hidden in the shadows. The bass or tom drum that's not as audible but nevertheless there orchestrating in the background, just like the quincy hiding in a shadow where you least expect. Along with the drums, the cymbol rings loudly, representing the brutal clashes of the TYBW. Accompanying the drums are the strings giving a regal and majestic feel to it, well fitting of yhwachs godly lineage. Finally the trumphant trumpets blow showing the sheer importance of this war. Trumpets have always been used when an important figure like a leader enters. It starts with a low pitch and slowly becomes louder, similar to the dire and dangerous circumstances we see in the tybw. You can also say it is like yhwach and his overwhelming power getting stronger just like the trumpets.
The glory and peaks of war the epic highs and adrenaline of battle all fit well with the climax of the theme that is amplified by the instruments and the lyrics.
All of this combined gives sort of an imperial sort of sound, as if a proud nation was marching into war. This theme doesn't make yhwach seem like the bad guy, which despite what majority of people think is absolutely right. I had alot of people say in a previous post that he needs to have a more menacing and I disagree. If you read CFYOW, you would know that his goals were not that evil, especially compared to Tokinada who really deserves menacing theme. Yhwachs goal was understandable when you take in that he wanted to save his father from an eternity of "suffering". I feel once he absorbs the soul king, a darker theme would be cooler, but I feel this is the best for him for every other situation. I have seen a few people remake nothing can be explained into a more darker version and I think that would fit in very well for that situation.
Yhwach has his vision on the world and it is questionable but he isn't inherently evil and I feel Fate portrays that well. It really gives off the vibe as if he's the final weapon, the last and greatest hope for the Quincy race. The triumphant last march in this holy war that lasted a millennium."
