Has anyone considered that maybe Kubo just forgot that he'd created this character? Introducing 26 new characters in one big dump could have that consequence.

He had such a short appearance I find it easier to believe that Kubo, who mostly writes on the fly, forgot about him, rather than any of the other complicated theories. This is the same guy that has retconned himself like three times on the origin of Orihime and Chad's powers. Kubo has surprised us before with bringing forth old forgotten plot points and connecting things everyone else had forgotten to form a bigger story, but tbh, I share Hawkeye's feeling that he's mostly rushing through it. With the exception of As Nodt, the kid with the Imagination and the Zombie dude, none of the Ritters, their powers or battles have made any lasting impression on me
