Is Ashido's mention of Vasto Lordes being within Las Noches counted or not? To my understanding, he was meant to be in the manga but was cut due to time contraints...did Kubo create the story for him that was used in the anime or would that be a filler storyline all together? I'm saying if what he said could be considered proof, he believed there to be Vasto Lordes within Las Noches (but didn't say they were apart of the Espada, in all reality I don't even think he knew what an Espada was...he's fought Hollows this whole time, not Arrancar).
