Killed by others: Pernida, Askin, As Nodt, Quilige, Driscoll, Berenice, Jerome, Mask, Gremmy, Nianzol, and Loyd (11)

Killed by allies: Haschwalth, Bambietta, Lilotto, Bazz-B, Cang Du, BG9 (Though he's not definite since we did not see him killed), Pepe, Gerard, Robert, NaNaNa, Royd, and Giselle (12)

So you see, over half of the Sterrnitters were killed by other Sternritters or Yhwach. Hell not even the Arrancar killed so many of their own Well, the Quincys are true masters of rationalisation ! :D But seriously: It would have been a pretty long arc if all Sternritter would have been killed in fights against the Shinigami. On the one hand it would have been cool because it would have helped many characters to get a better amount of serious screen time (like Hirako - what did he do lately ?), on the other hand it could have overextended the story and the current chapters would have been placed somewhere in the 900's, I would assume. True but what annoys me is that HALF of the Stenritters were killed by their own comrades. I mean Royd, Pepe, NaNaNa, Giselle, Lilloto, and Bazz-B I can get, as the first one was already dead, Pepe because he did tried to manipulate his own allies, NaNaNa because he was in the way of Bazz-B getting revenge, and the last three rebelled against Yhwach. But the rest made no sense, especially Haschwalth's since he barely got any scree time in terms of fighting and we waited for how many chapters to learn Robert's name, only to learn it on the same chapter he is killed.
