YMMV / Bleach Bount Arc

• Magnificent Bastard: Jin Kariya, born Eugene Currier, is the charismatic leader of the Bounts. Driven to bitterness and nihilism by the suffering he endured from the Soul Reapers, the Quincies, the Hollows and even his fellow Bounts since his childhood, Kariya concocted an elaborate plan to destroy Soul Society. Having his former wife Yoshino Sōma and the Quincy Uryū Ishida abducted, Kariya defeats Ichigo Kurosaki when the latter tries to rescue them but decides to retreat when reinforcements arrive, confident his captives will return. When they do, Kariya kills Yoshino, using her maternal Bount abilities to create the Bitto to absorb human souls at a faster rate to empower himself and his underlings, before tricking Mayuri Kurotsuchi and Uryū into completing the Bount portal to Soul Society by manipulating the former into temporarily restoring the latter's lost Quincy powers and thus motivate him into completing the Bount portal in the hopes of fighting the Bounts with an actually nonexistent field advantage. Reaching the Jōkaishō, Kariya uses it to near-successfully destroy the entire Soul Society, only stopped by Ran'Tao's efforts and himself ultimately choosing to let Ichigo kill him.
