The Gotei 13 vs. The Sternritter

 is a fight which takes place during the Quincy Blood War. It focuses on the conflict between Ichigo Kurosaki and eight Sternritter.

Prelude
Seeing Ichigo Kurosaki's oncoming Getsuga Jūjishō, Candice Catnipp attempts to counter it with a physical attack, prompting Ichigo to yell at her to get out of the way. She is successful, but loses her left arm in the process. Cursing loudly, Candice orders Giselle Gewelle to restore her arm, prompting Giselle to sarcastically ask her if she can do so. When an angered Candice tells her she should be able to heal it without blood, Giselle admits this is true and notes she cannot turn a living Quincy into a zombie before using the corpse of a nearby Shinigami to regenerate Candice's arm. Liltotto Lamperd tells Candice to calm down, for she will not win otherwise, but Candice tells her to shut up and attempts to attack Ichigo once more, only to be pierced by Burner Finger 1.

Bazz-B stands nearby with his Quincy: Vollständig active and pierces Meninas McAllon, Giselle, and Liltotto with Burner Finger 1 as well before apologizing and asking them to die for a while. When Candice curses him, Bazz-B tells her she has no right to complain before claiming it is normal to steal another's prey and that those who arrive late are the ones who get to do so. As Bazz-B asks Ichigo if he thinks the same thing, Pepe, NaNaNa Najahkoop, and the Unnamed Male Sternritter arrive behind him, with NaNaNa noting he should have arrived a bit later and the male Sternritter proposing they split Ichigo evenly. Liltotto, Giselle, Candice, and Meninas stand back up, with Liltotto noting this will be 8-on-1 before proclaiming whomever kills Ichigo will get all the glory. As he prepares to fight the Sternritter, Ichigo is startled by a beam of light piercing the heavens behind him.
