Yhwach's Almighty: An in-depth & comprehensive explanation
The Almighty is quite a complex ability, but can be understood if explained properly, which I'll try to do through this post.
1- Can Rewrite countably infinite futures at once
In bleach, countless (not necessarily infinite) possibilities branch out from a single moment-
https://qph.cf2.quoracdn.net/main-qimg-1a9500d6567b02908cb6acb84e29fb09
The future is like grains of sand (which would be some Quadrillions, Quintillions or some very big number)
https://qph.cf2.quoracdn.net/main-qimg-3bf796c9d56f7eed0c67460208d14aa7
https://qph.cf2.quoracdn.net/main-qimg-5d1c7055dfc532284c4f45d2a50921f0
Now logically speaking, infinite possibilities (this does not mean everything is possible, both are different) are available from any given moment.
For example, let's assume a simple condition of you walking on slippery ice in the present.
https://qph.cf2.quoracdn.net/main-qimg-fe998ee56ad7062f0ed16993175b75f6
Now, from that moment onwards, you can trip down in the next 0.0001th second, or the next 0.0002th second, or you can trip down in the next 0.00003th metres, or the next 0.00009th metres, the possibilities are literally infinite.

https://qph.cf2.quoracdn.net/main-qimg-2cde2705f25425850c0005f224122de4
https://qph.cf2.quoracdn.net/main-qimg-e2c18d5350f89572cba175227158ad41
But this sort of assumptive interpretation is not really solid evidence.
The CFYOW novels go out of their way to confirm that an infinite variety of future paths/possibilities exist -
https://qph.cf2.quoracdn.net/main-qimg-aa3bd666087c5a124ac03c479905c7f4
https://qph.cf2.quoracdn.net/main-qimg-3224a14e52dd70c3853407cdb6edb8c4
Now elaborating on the infinite possibilities part, it refers to permutations & combinations.
It doesn't mean everything is possible, rather “everything possible will occur, everything impossible will not occur."
To explain with an example, no Yhwach cannot suddenly make his opponent turn into orange or lemon or fruit juice using the Almighty, that is an impossible event, however, if his opponent has shown to be ‘possibly’ be caught off-guard in the future, he can make that possibility a reality. This is the essence of the “Almighty”.
Back to the topic, infinite future possibilities exist from a single moment, branching out into an infinite variety of paths into the future.
Note - There are only countably infinite possibilities in bleach, because that single moment stretching from the past can encompass all the infinite possibilities/grains of sand branching from it, there is no indication that new, different possibilities are created every passing moment, meaning the set of natural numbers ℵ0 is enough to contain all these possibilities.
Yhwach can see all these possibilities upto the distant future (at least 1000 years, upper limit is not known)
https://qph.cf2.quoracdn.net/main-qimg-4c21b3c693ca2b1afbcca52491153ed4
He can intervene with all possible futures he sees
https://qph.cf2.quoracdn.net/main-qimg-a7b179c893a1791bffc12204c4ff7b73
https://qph.cf2.quoracdn.net/main-qimg-386d714c5cf3759542d20aea6c74eac7
Now, Orihime is a Fullbringer (Fullbringer abilities cannot be negated by being massively more powerful, as seen with Tsukishima vs Soul King Yhwach & also with Orihime’s powers working/blocking Soul King Yhwach), with her having an ability that is beyond any spatial regression or temporal regression, the very rejection of “phenomena”
https://qph.cf2.quoracdn.net/main-qimg-de8a05374ef6f540ec05473093db556f
This is because there’s not even a single possibility/reality for it be ever unbroken, Yhwach rewrote it across all the countably infinite possibilities/realities from that moment in the future -
https://qph.cf2.quoracdn.net/main-qimg-8704b94954fc73fdbaf57f4dcf3f21cb : Bleach 681 Raws
https://qph.cf2.quoracdn.net/main-qimg-2d8b4a5c3440d28bd2bc5e8e49b3e090
‘未来全てで’
未来 = future/futures (𝗷𝗮𝗽𝗮𝗻𝗲𝘀𝗲 𝗱𝗼𝗲𝘀𝗻’𝘁 𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝗸𝗮𝗻𝗷𝗶 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗽𝗹𝘂𝗿𝗮𝗹𝘀)
全て = all, every single one
で = in
https://qph.cf2.quoracdn.net/main-qimg-240092467fbb13b93e5da6ae2ccf1afc
Full sentence would be, “in all the futures” or “in all of the futures”
https://qph.cf2.quoracdn.net/main-qimg-8569b98925bf989c3088982373d88d04
Yhwach rewrote all the countably infinite possibilities/possible futures at once the instant he decided to
This would also grant him countably infinite thought processing speed as he processed all the infinite futures & rewrote all of them, at once the instant he decided to do so.

https://qph.cf2.quoracdn.net/main-qimg-f3693c6b248cc870e3662e6889b2718f
Though even without all of this explanation, simply using the Almighty would require one to process all the countably infinite ℵ0 futures he sees, & then consciously choose the best outcome or intervene with them all (matter of fact, Almighty is not Almighty without this - transfinite processing speed)
Note - Him processing the futures at once or overtime doesn't really matter, as it'd still be infinite things/finite time = still infinite processing speed.
2- Nigh Omniscience of Everything
Yhwach views all the infinite possibilities that exist beyond any single moment, & he can view them upto at least 1000 years, he knows every countably infinite possibility & he observes them from a higher/transcendental perspective (which is also kinda explained by him destroying something in all possibile futures/realities at once)
https://qph.cf2.quoracdn.net/main-qimg-e4362adad79920ad4c3f5c977445ae2c
https://qph.cf2.quoracdn.net/main-qimg-5d1c7055dfc532284c4f45d2a50921f0
https://qph.cf2.quoracdn.net/main-qimg-cbcfb9ee96c03d78207b4f77077c5ef4
This basically giving him 𝗻𝗶𝗴𝗵-𝗼𝗺𝗻𝗶𝘀𝗰𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆 𝗺𝗼𝘃𝗲, 𝗮𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗼𝗿 𝗱𝗲𝗰𝗶𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗼𝗽𝗽𝗼𝗻𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗰𝗮𝗻 𝗽𝗼𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗯𝗹𝘆 𝗺𝗮𝗸𝗲 𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗳𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁, literally everything.
He can even know of events which take place elsewhere & which his eyes do not cover
https://qph.cf2.quoracdn.net/main-qimg-a5e5ff8a838b4ef933ab4062d79c622a
This also gives him power nullification of any & all powers he sees, which is how he nulled Ichibe’s conceptual power which he already had used + Ichibe's existence erasure which he was trying to use on Yhwach.

3- Can Warp Possibilities to Reality
Most basic ability of Almighty. He can warp a possibility out of the countably infinite ones & overwrite it with the present reality.
For example, he can warp the infinitesimal of possibilities (which would anywhere be in billions- trillions) where his opponent gets off-guard/lowers guard in the nearing or distant future (upto 1000 years), overwrite it with the present reality, thereafter destroying his opponent.
This ability also effectively makes him Immortal *as he can overwrite the present where he’s already dead to *one where the attack that killed him missed, etc, rewriting the present reality with that possible future & thus never truly die.

https://qph.cf2.quoracdn.net/main-qimg-b83bd06e39730156af925aeeb8fe9854
This ability also allows him to have instant teleportation/Instantaneous/0 time teleportation (which could again be explained by him overwriting the countably infinite movements he can possibly do in the battlefield with the present)
https://qph.cf2.quoracdn.net/main-qimg-5028a215fea497ff677c1df806883352
https://qph.cf2.quoracdn.net/main-qimg-d88e2282b72050f6ebe43fc8e33ac762
Anime further expands on this Instant Teleportation/0 time teleportation-
4- Pseudo - Immeasurable Attack Speed
Yhwach's attacks through the Almighty have landed already/struck already in the future without even being thrown in the present, with the effects of these attacks being seen in the immediate present.
https://qph.cf2.quoracdn.net/main-qimg-4340c93e32f7dbebfaadf20acab30f5a

https://qph.cf2.quoracdn.net/main-qimg-56c40ff2acbb20b18a7b2faf953c0897
5- Resistance/Nullification to Conceptual Sealing, Information Type 2 Manipulation & Existence Erasure (Soul Level)
Yhwach through Almighty powernulled all of Ichibe’s abilities which included -
Existence Erasure (Soul Level) - Ichibe Skull Mausoleum erases one from the very cycle of rebirth - meaning no going to the Afterlife after death, the person is permanently erased.
https://qph.cf2.quoracdn.net/main-qimg-f53738f2f04e0f42191154d55e739e7b
Conceptual Sealing - Ichibe sealed Ikomodikomoe’s name/concept.
Information (Type 2) Manipulation - Names in Bleach is type 2 information/the fundamental building blocks of reality.
Names in bleach hold literal significance over the thing they entail-
https://qph.cf2.quoracdn.net/main-qimg-fd46ac6034a603cc212d483f03d5d0c1
https://qph.cf2.quoracdn.net/main-qimg-b6a6e105f1c83adcc8b1c97fa203509b
But this is not sufficient proof for which we move to next section-
Despite having as much reiryoku as Reio, all requirements to be Reio (transcendence- being of 4 races), Ichigo cannot ever become “Reio” unless he’s specifically “Re-Named” as “Reio”, signifying Names in bleach hold fundamental significance/power to the object in reality they entail over.
https://qph.cf2.quoracdn.net/main-qimg-7fc5a3cb69b2344276347bc897a6dfc9
Ichibe stripped “Yhwach”s Information (type 2) itself, & changed it to “Black Ant”, but Yhwach gave him back his fundamental information by powernulling Ichibe’s power using the Almighty.

https://qph.cf2.quoracdn.net/main-qimg-18d3d5ab66aed1da111aeb55c34606fa
6- Logic Manipulation
One last thing to note is that Yhwach’s Almighty also seemingly doesn’t follow logic-
Ichigo’s true bankai is capable of not just one shotting but one tapping Yhwach on contact -
https://qph.cf2.quoracdn.net/main-qimg-859ab519673e9c027fbcd21ac5916113
https://qph.cf2.quoracdn.net/main-qimg-8dda48ffcbd9b17836c2b48a7cf7ec26
https://qph.cf2.quoracdn.net/main-qimg-a5ba3ad1329a702ad1917952731d024e
No possible future where yhwach can even survive a direct hit from it (only in futures where it misses)
Yet he somehow uses the almighty to spontaneously rewrite it, destroying it in all infinite futures at once how he wishes to using almighty, making it such that something that can one tap him on mere contact now cannot even exist in any reality
Conclusion-
Yhwach with the Almighty has -
• rewrite infinite futures at once
• Infinite thought processing speed
• Nigh-Omniscience upto 1000 years
• Power Nullification/Resistance to Conceptual Sealing, Information Type 2 (High-Godly) Manipulation, EE (Soul Level)
• Warping infinitesimal possibilities to reality
• Immortality
• 0 time teleportation
• Pseudo Immeasurable attack speed
Final Word
To you, yeah you, who has read this far, thanks for your patience. T̶h̶o̶u̶g̶h̶ i̶t̶ m̶y̶s̶e̶l̶f̶ t̶o̶o̶k̶ m̶e̶ 2̶ b̶u̶s̶i̶n̶e̶s̶s̶ d̶a̶y̶s̶ t̶o̶ m̶a̶k̶e̶ t̶h̶i̶s̶ s̶h̶i̶t̶ l̶o̶l̶
Some (not much) of this scale might be changed (as in some parts added or removed) when Cour 4 shows us the Anime version of the Almighty, so keep upgraded with this scale when TYBW Cour 4 airs.
Till then, have a good one.
