Bleach TYBW part 3 shocked fans by revealing the identities of Yhwach's original Royal Guard, the Schutzstaffel. These four powerful Quincies, namely Johann Seydlitz, Huburt Alexander Kleich, Algora Lallau, and Nikita Deslock were key figures during the Lichtreich era, before the creation of the Sternritter.

Loyal to Yhwach, they played major roles in his rule over a thousand years ago. Their backgrounds, contributions, and tragic fates were exposed during the Quincy Daten, offering a deeper look at their dedication to Yhwach and their ultimate downfall against Soul Society’s might.

The Schutzstaffel’s origins date back to a time before the Sternritter order was even formed. During the reign of the Lichtreich over a thousand years ago, these four individuals served as Yhwach’s closest confidants and protectors.

Each of them played a crucial role in the Lichtreich’s governance and military conquests. Their existence predated the formation of the Sternritter, which was established in preparation for Yhwach’s invasion of Soul Society. Tragically, none of these original Schutzstaffel members survived the Lichtreich’s eventual downfall.

1) Johann Seydlitz

Seydlitz was an insightful strategist and a fierce warrior. His skepticism about forming a new army for Soul Society’s invasion highlighted his pragmatic nature. When Yhwach revealed his plans for the Sternritter, Seydlitz was shocked but remained steadfast in his loyalty.

He later accompanied Yhwach to negotiate with Ichibe Hyosube of the Royal Guard. However, Seydlitz’s life ended in a dramatic battle against Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto, who burned him alive using his Zanka no Tachi.

2) Huburt Alexander Kleich

Huburt was instrumental in recruiting for the Sternritter. His interactions with young recruits like Bazz-B and Jugram Haschwalth revealed his unwavering commitment to Yhwach’s vision, though his fiery temper often surfaced.

During a critical negotiation with Ichibe Hyosube, Huburt’s loyalty was evident as he prepared to draw his weapon when tensions rose. Like Seydlitz, Huburt met his demise at the hands of Yamamoto, who used Zanka no Tachi to incinerate him.

3) Algora Lallau

Algora was a steadfast protector of the Lichtreich, often accompanying Huburt on recruitment missions. He carried the sigil of the Sternritter and showed unwavering dedication to Yhwach’s cause.

Algora’s protective instincts were evident during negotiations with Ichibe, where he shielded his comrades from a counterattack. However, Algora’s life was cut short in a fiery end when Yamamoto wielded Zanka no Tachi against him during a battle.

4) Nikita Deslock

The only female member of the Schutzstaffel, Nikita was a marksman who displayed cold efficiency in her missions. She participated in the raid on Bazz-B’s mansion, showcasing her ruthless nature.

Nikita was also present during the negotiations with Ichibe, where her impulsive attack led to a counterstrike that Algora had to shield her from. Like her comrades, Nikita met a grim fate, falling victim to the overwhelming might of Soul Society’s defenders.

The Schutzstaffel members’ legacies were further cemented during the epic clash between Yamamoto and Royd Lloyd, who had assumed Yhwach’s form. In this confrontation, Yamamoto’s Zanka no Tachi summoned the skeletal corpses of his past victims, including Seydlitz, Huburt, and Algora. The sight of these once-mighty warriors visibly unnerved Royd, underscoring the devastating power and reach of Yamamoto’s flames.
