I hope As Nodt isn't dead already, it would be infuriating how such a fearsome badass lost a fight in just two chapters when that moron Mask stole the spotlight for five of them. Well, if Rukia is dumb enough not to shatter him in pieces or cut off his head (which she most certainly is, since Yhwach seems to be the only one who makes sure his enemies stay dead), I can see how As can survive. He is a Quincy, so his control over reishi should be superior to Rukia's. Just carefully speed up his own reishi until he's no longer stuck in absolute zero and unfreeze himself.
