That was probably the most cruel act I've seen in Bleach. Yhwach's massacre of impure Quincy was terrible and all, and Metastacia devouring Miyako was tragic, but this was just cruel.

I'm rather glad the Stern Ritter aren't pushovers like the Espada though. Weak captains like Sui Feng and TOshiro really don't stand a chance. It should be the likes of Shunsui, Ukitake, Mayuri and Kenpachi leading the counterattack.
