The secret connection between four elite Quincy.
The top Quincy in Bleach are known as the Schutzstaffel, Yhwach's personal guard, and they have felt like overpowered villains, requiring several Captain-level Soul Reapers to beat them, and sometimes not even that was enough. However, there is one secret behind Tite Kubo's inspiration for these characters that explains their incredible power.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT The Schutzstaffel consist of Pernida Parnkgjas, Gerard Valkyrie, Lille Barro, and Askin Nakk Le Varr, four prominent Quincy Sternritters with very different powers. They're definitely all dangerous opponents, and the majority of Bleach's final battle is devoted to the Shinigami's fight against these opponents, who could not be brought down even by the Captains' powerful Bankai.
The Quincy Schutzstaffel Reflect the History of War The four Schutzstaffel each represent four different eras of warfare: ancient, medieval, modern, and current. Pernidas, whose appearance is that of a giant hand, is said to be representative of ancient warfare, when people fought hand-to-hand before the advent of weapons. Gerard Valkyrie, a Thor-esque figure wearing an armor helmet, represents the medieval era, and fights using a sword and shield.
Given that Yhwach has been around for well over 1,000 years, it makes some sense that he would have collected warriors that have highly varied fighting styles. Interestingly, despite being the representation of the modern era, Lille Barro is said to have been the first Quincy granted a Schrift by Yhwach, making him over 1,000 years old as well, possibly making his rifle the first gun in the Bleach universe.
The Strongest Sternritters Represent The Essence Of War It's certainly interesting to see how this theme shaped the four characters, despite the major differences between their appearances and abilities. Drawing from different eras was a clever decision by Kubo, as it ensured that each character would have very different abilities.
