I'm also curious as to how much of a fight Ikkaku, Yumichika, and Shuhei will be able to put up against these Sternritters. All three of them already got owned by Mask once and he was just one Sternritter. Now, they're facing against eight. Unless Shuhei has a Bankai now or something, he's just gonna be fodder like most of the other lieutenants are by this point.
