Plot Armour will be extra thick in this case.

In reality, there's bound to be a lot more people making appearances. You've got 2 captains heavily implied to be turning up, the smartest man in existance, some fullbringers, grimmjow. And I imagine the rest of the surving Gotei 13/angry sternritter will turn up from down below to help. And probably Aizen.

It's a lot of added firepower beyond just the kids. Especially since some of these elements seem to be planning around the Royal Guard's defeat.

I'd also point out that Oriheme still has the most bullshitty power in Bleach, she just never uses it offensively.

The Royal Guard tbh were more of an organization that would get beaten to make the Quincies seem stronger. It's pretty cliche tbh.
