Seems a bit ridiculous that the Shinigami got their asses handed to them 1,000 years ago and then the same thing happens AGAIN in the modern era. You think they would have been a bit more prepared, but so far the only anti-Quincy mechanisms we've seen have been the Seireitei Sekkiseki barrier, which didn't work, the Royal Guard, which also didn't work, and Kisuke's bankai Hollowfication thing, which is one outta three. What I'm saying is that it might seem more realistic if the War one-thousand years ago was more favorable to the Shinigami: they would have grown even more conceited after the battle and thus discarded their caution when it came to preparing to foreign invasions. (Like what is happening in the manga now.) Quincy or not, the Shinigami were vastly underprepared when Yhwach came a'calling, so what I am thinking is that it might be more realistic for them to have dominated the field 1,000 years ago, judging by their current pattern of behaviour.

(The problem is the current manga events and the inexplicable stupidity of the Soul Society, I guess. I mean, Yhwach even sent them a warning before he attacked... HOW CAN YOU BE SO DENSE *arjaghjahjah*)

The only think with Yhwach creating the Quincy race, if that is truly the case as Kubo says, is that he would have had to been around maybe a thousand or couple thousand years before we thought, in order to account for the vast dispersion of the Quincy race across the human world. I mean, obviously people can migrate and such, but it really does depend on "how big was the Quincy population at the time of the war." If Yhwach was born into Israel, or at least the Mesopotamia area, it would have had to been around 1,000 BC, I'd say, at least, to account for the different clans all over the whole wide world. If we set Yhwach at the time of Christ it doesn't make much sense for the Persian or Chinese/Asian Quincy, is just what I am saying. Personally I am disinclined to believe the Quincy race truly originated from Yhwach, despite what the manga says. It just doesn't make a whole lot of sense to me, but until more is actually revealed about the nature of Yhwach I'll say my verdict is still out on that one.
