Definitely. Given that a lot of the Stern Ritter showed off their powers in battle I think Mayuri has adequate substance to launch some tricky, and troublesome attacks against the Quincy.

I just realized that's probably the reason those Quincy bodies were destroyed, like Royd's and Yamamoto's. Both residual Quincy energy or power in them that Mayuri could study, so the corpses were destroyed before anything could be used against them.

Or maybe that's what Mayuri was working on; using the bodies of Lloyd, Benerice, and Jerome to create something.
