11th Division Barracks
"Wait…"
Recovering from shock, Ikkaku Madarame's eyes blazed at "Sternritter," breathing fast:
"You all heard that, right? He revealed his identity!"
Finally!
This monstrous enemy gave a clue!
Ikkaku exhaled, wiping sweat from his brow.
Gremmy's unknown origins scared him more than the apocalyptic scenes.
The video's disjointed nature offered hints but raised more questions.
Gremmy's appearance—no reiatsu, no Zanpakutō, no Arrancar traits, just a human-like youth—yet wielding godlike power!
His identity tormented Ikkaku more than his feats!
"Sternritter… what's that? Never heard of it!" Yumichika Ayasegawa rubbed his temples, shaking his head.
In the Soul Society, only the Gotei 13, Kidō Corps, Stealth Force, and Technical Development Bureau existed.
In the living world, Gremmy's freakish power couldn't belong—disasters would've destroyed it!
So, what was the Sternritter?
"Quit yapping! What's there to guess?" Kenpachi Zaraki snapped, impatient. "Ikkaku, Yumichika, get lost! Don't ruin my monster fight!"
To the battle-obsessed Kenpachi, Gremmy's identity meant nothing.
Sternritter? Who cares!
He only wanted to flip the tables in a desperate fight!

12th Division, Technical Development Bureau
Red alarms flashed, bathing the building in a crimson glow.
In the first-floor control room, Mayuri Kurotsuchi, arms crossed, froze as Gremmy said "Sternritter."
His eyes, under the blue-white mask, widened.
"Captain, what's wrong?" Nemu Kurotsuchi noticed first, asking cautiously.
"Heh… hehehehe!"
After a brief silence, Mayuri's crazed laughter erupted.
Eyes bloodshot, he pointed a sharp nail, ecstatic: "Nemu, weren't you curious where this monster came from?"
His hollow voice chilled like a ghost in the dark.
"Y-Yes, what's up?" Nemu swallowed, sweating.
What secret drove her captain mad?
"No wonder I found no data! They vanished a millennium ago!" Mayuri laughed, trembling with excitement.
This discovery thrilled him more than any experiment!
"What… vanished a thousand years ago?" Nemu shivered.
Without answering, Mayuri smirked cryptically:
"For this question, the Captain-Commander would know better."

1st Division Barracks
"Impossible! These blood-stained failures, reappearing after a millennium?!"
Bang!
The ornate desk shattered under Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto's fury!
Wood shards flew, revealing his darkened face.
As Mayuri predicted, "Sternritter" hit Yamamoto harder, nearly destroying the office!
Deep in his mind, a millennium-old memory replayed like a film.
A thousand years ago, leading the Gotei 13, he battled the pure-blood Quincy, vying for control of the Shinigami world.
In that earth-shaking war, Yamamoto's Ryūjin Jakka Bankai defeated Yhwach, stopping his heart and mind.
Since then, the Quincy race declined, nearly extinct.
Over time, Yamamoto forgot the "failed race."
But watching Gremmy harm captains and stand arrogantly with the sun, his anger brewed.
"Sternritter" was the final straw, igniting his fury!
"…"
Surveying the wrecked office, Chōjirō Sasakibe stayed silent, avoiding Yamamoto's wrath.
He knew the Blood War's scar lingered in Yamamoto's heart.
Despite the Soul Society's peace, Chōjirō was certain—Yamamoto would never want the pure-blood Quincy back!
"Chōjirō…"
No longer hunched, Yamamoto's arm, gripping his cane, bulged with veins from rage.
His low, solemn voice dripped with murderous intent:
"Go! To the Technical Development Bureau! Tell Mayuri—by any means, find these hiding rats!"
