The Gotei 13 & The Visored vs. Gerard Valkyrie

The Gotei 13 & The Visored vs. Gerard Valkyrie is a conflict which takes place during the Quincy Blood War. It involves several high-ranking Shinigami and multiple Visored facing off against Sternritter "M" Gerard Valkyrie.

Prelude
After entering the newly formed Wahrwelt in the Royal Realm, the Gotei 13 and Visored forces begin making their way toward the center to confront Yhwach; en route, Lille Barro begins picking off stragglers from the main group, only stopping once Captain-Commander Shunsui Kyōraku confronts him alone, leaving behind orders for the group to continue without him. Eventually, the remaining Shinigami reach the central structure of Wahrwelt; however, Gerard, having initially been sent to a branch of Wahrwelt with no Shinigami for him to fight, leaps over a tremendous distance and crashes into the ground in front of them before congratulating the Shinigami for making it this far.

As Gerard proclaims that they will have to defeat him before proceeding any further, Renji Abarai binds Gerard's arm with Zabimaru and agrees to do so as the other prepare to advance. However, Gerard spreads out his cape to prevent their passage and claims that none of them could defeat him in a one-on-one fight before daring them to attack together.

Battle
Soon afterward, Gerard is overpowered by Byakuya Kuchiki and Renji, who berates him for thinking he stood a chance against so many captains and lieutenants at once. However, Gerard merely grins while noting that prevailing over all of the Shinigami at once would definitely be a miracle before explaining how a miracle is never considered as such if it occurs at an ordinary moment. As Renji questions what he means, Gerard commends him and Byakuya for injuring him so gravely before proclaiming that a miracle is miraculous because it occurs when all seems lost.

However, Gerard is interrupted by Byakuya, who slams Senbonzakura into Gerard's head before ripping through his skull with a flick of his wrist. As Gerard's battered helmet falls onto the ground before her, a startled Momo Hinamori wonders if going so far was really necessary, prompting Shinji Hirako to point out that Gerard clearly had a trick of some kind that he believed could reverse the entire battle in one go before stating that they had no idea what would happen if they did not go so far. After slamming Senbonzakura into Gerard's body one more time for good measure, Byakuya tells the others to proceed, but as they do so, an enormous foot appears behind them before slamming into the ground where they are standing.

As Renji realizes that he is looking at an enormous foot, he and the other Shinigami look up to see Gerard towering above them, now gigantic in stature, while introducing himself as Gerard "The Miracle" with the power to convert physical damage to an increase in the size of his body. Once again commending the Shinigami for injuring him so gravely, Gerard notes that this has allowed him to grow to a greater size than ever before as he breaks the roof off of a tower and throws it at them. The broken tower section smashes into the ground and scatters the Shinigami, forcing Shinji to grab a falling Momo by the hand.

Gerard slams his hand into Shinji and Momo, prompting Rukia Kuchiki and Renji to call out to them as Byakuya attempts to attack Gerard with Senbonzakura once more, only for Gerard to effortlessly block the blade petals with his open hand before slamming his fist into the building Byakuya is standing on top of. As Renji and Rukia call out to Byakuya, Gerard blows them into the rubble below and laughs before proclaiming that no miracle will be saving the Shinigami regardless of how much they cry out in anguish. As Gerard smashes through more buildings, Hiyori Sarugaki and Hachigen Ushōda hide in a nearby room, with Hiyori expressing her disbelief at how quickly Gerard is taking out the other combatants. Resting his arm on a building, Gerard proclaims that this is too easy.

Complaining about how even the captain-level Shinigami seem to be powerless before his might, Gerard notes that he must search for survivors as he would sift through sand for ants before slamming his hand into the building where Hiyori and Hachigen are hiding. As Gerard claims that finding the survivors is a miraculous feat, Hiyori appears behind him with her Hollow mask donned before firing a triple Cero at Gerard, who swipes through it while asking Hiyori if she really thought that would hurt him. However, Hiyori denies this as Hachigen, Love Aikawa, and Lisa Yadōmaru appear behind Gerard before attacking him with Chocolate Bar Slider, Hifuki no Koduchi, and Nijū Ichijō Tonbokudari.

The attacks create a massive blast and pierce Gerard with barriers and stabbing attacks, but Gerard merely brushes them off before sending the four Visored flying into buildings with a single swing of his arm. Noting that this will never end at this rate, Gerard realizes that he can simply take out the entire area with all the Shinigami still in it and attempts to do so by punching the ground, only to have his right arm suddenly frozen in place as Tōshirō Hitsugaya states that he cannot allow this before telling Gerard to remain frozen in place for the rest of time. After he and Hitsugaya exchange introductions, Gerard smashes the ice encasing his arm and swipes at Hitsugaya, who activates his Bankai, Daiguren Hyōrinmaru, and encases Gerard's torso in ice as Momo watches from below with an injured Shinji.

Shortly afterward, Gerard shatters the ice while roaring, leading Hitsugaya to note that they need to think of something else while admitting that Gerard is very tough. As Gerard asks Hitsugaya if he believed ice attacks would be enough to stop him while trying to grab him, Byakuya intercepts Gerard's hand with Senbonzakura Kageyoshi while telling Hitsugaya that he cannot hope to defeat Gerard alone and will need his assistance. Landing beside Byakuya, Hitsugaya admits that the height difference between them and Gerard means fighting two-on-one would not be cowardly. However, as Gerard reaches for them and Hitsugaya and Byakuya prepare to attack, Gerard's right forearm is sliced off by Kenpachi Zaraki, who expresses his disgust at two captains working together like this.

As Gerard roars in pain, his forearm suddenly reforms in a flash of light with visibly black veins, leading him to proclaim that it has become even stronger. When Hitsugaya questions what just happened, Byakuya explains how The Miracle causes Gerard to grow and regenerate from damage while becoming even stronger, leading Hitsugaya to note that he must have been much smaller at the beginning of this battle. However, Hitsugaya is surprised when Kenpachi, having heard the explanation as well, decides to cut Gerard to pieces in order to see what happens and attacks, forcing Hitsugaya to intercept his strike.

When Kenpachi demands that he explain himself, Hitsugaya admits that he caught on quickly and tells him to think this through before pointing out how someone as big as Gerard is falling from such a great height would destroy Soul Society, only for Kenpachi to state that he would be too busy cutting him up on the way down to care. Suddenly, Gerard stomps on the two of them with tremendous force, only for Kenpachi to catch and push back his foot before throwing Gerard into the tower at the center of Wahrwelt. Leaping forward, Kenpachi claims that he did not come here to be lectured.

Kenpachi proclaims that he wants to see what the inside of Gerard's head looks like before slashing at him, only for Gerard to block with his shield before bashing Kenpachi with a swing of his shield arm, sending him crashing through multiple buildings. Unsheathing his sword, Hoffnung, Gerard praises Kenpachi's raw strength before noting that he is willing to let Hoffnung rust against a powerful being of darkness like Kenpachi. With his eyepatch removed, Kenpachi releases his Shikai, Nozarashi, before blocking Gerard's subsequent slash and pushing him back a considerable distance. However, as Kenpachi leaps into the air, Gerard reveals he has nicked the blade of Hoffnung as a large cut appears on Kenpachi's chest.

His attire consisted of a white military uniform fastened at the shoulders with Wandenreich emblems and buttoned up to his neck at the front, with the collar turned down.

==Personality== Zeidritz was a calm and rational man; though loyal to Yhwach, he would not hesitate to question orders whose purpose he did not understand, such as Yhwach's desire to form a new vanguard despite all the nearby land having already been conquered. However, he could still be visibly shocked by things he found extremely surprising, like Yhwach wishing to invade Soul Society.

==History== 1000 years ago, Zeidritz served under Yhwach, having been a fairly close subordinate of his. Five years after Yhwach began conquering nearby territories to form the, he informed Zeidritz that he wished to form a new vanguard. Not understanding why Yhwach desired this, Zeidritz pointed out how there were no territories in the Lichtreich left to conquer, but Yhwach revealed that their next target would be Soul Society, leaving Zeidritz stunned.

At some point, Zeidritz was killed by Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto.

==Plot== ===The Thousand-Year Blood War arc=== During his fight with Royd Lloyd (who was impersonating Yhwach and possessed his memories), Yamamoto uses Zanka no Tachi, Minami: Kaka Jūmanokushi Daisōjin to bring forth the skeletal corpses of those whom he has killed, among them being Zeidritz, whose visage visibly unnerves Royd.

Soon after, when Yhwach arrived and declared that Jugram Haschwalth would join him as an integral part of his Sternritter, a stunned Algora expressed disbelief at his decision.

At some point, Algora was killed by Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto.
