There's something not right here; as we now know, there are 9 members of the Vandenreich: Ivan, 7 masked men and their buck bearded leader. As the 7 masked men was talking to Yamamoto, a gigantic lance pierces through Sasakibe but who fired the lance at him?? Just to clear things up, it can't be Ivan as he is in the human world fighting Ichigo and their leader was waiting for them in the Ice Palace.
