@ AnimeBear: It's well possible. Yhwach could have defeated Kenpachi, and then, knowing Yamamoto would go there as he would sense Yhwach, switch with Royd, and at that point start the tricking.

@ SilverRain: Good point, I didn't notice that detail. Or he could have been a real Quincy, but had a power boost from Yhwach, somehow. Like how Aizen made the Arrancars stronger with the Hogyôku.

@ Skitzo1: Good ideas there. Concerning the staff guy, I actually though of that last night, that he could be Stern Ritter C, "The Control". It fits as the letter C still isn't revealed.

@ AldenHeathcliffe: I'm certain that I saw Kyôraku getting 4 shots after Yamamoto's death.
