There is a reason why Ikkaku is the 3rd seat and Yachiru is the lieutenant. Everything points at her being stronger than him, and that alone makes me very interested in seeing her in battle.

And I'm with N-e-ls - Kubo probably made Liltotto only to give Yachiru an "equal" opponent and show off her skills, which will be interesting to see.
