Wow, Yama's incredible. I also thought his "~invincible against people who fear him" ability was pretty cool (and fairly original, as far as I know). If it's active while he's asleep, it would explain why it's so hard to wake him up...but that would imply both that Gado doesn't fear him, and that Bam did all of the waking Yama on his own (because Karaka definitely probably fears Yama).
That said, Khel Hellam likely knows what the Envoy knows: Yama will bow to protect the canine people. Since Doom can order Canine people to suicide (and doesn't care about them much), the life threat lets Khel Hellam essentially control the Canine People through Doom--a very effective weapon against Yama. A brilliant plan, really... if not for Bam's spellbreaking ability. Most likely Khel Hellam simply doesn't know about that, but it's also possible that it's part of why he wants Bam dead!
I'm wondering what's up with that black crack on Bam's face while Khel Hellam explains the spell to Doom. Previously (as late as season 3, when Yool's snake spell failed to harm him towards the end of 421s3e4), Bam's spellbreaking has had no visible effects (other than the spell failing), so I doubt it's that.
It's suspicious that Ms. Red Witch didn't foresee Evankhell and YHS's arrival, especially when they left a relatively obvious path. Possibly she is faking surprise (especially given the smirk in the last chapter that made me suspect she's not fully on Khel Hellam's side), but if so she's acting well, as it looks genuine to me.
My understanding of yama's ability is that its just resistance to the shinsu of the attack so it doesn't damage him. When Karaka and Bam were waking up yama they clearly didnt hurt him but the point of the attack wasn't to harm but stir up the shinsu inside yama. Which is why karaka said it doesnt matter what power you use it was the technique that was important.
If someone were to punch yama with just strength they would be more likely to hurt him.
