Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto vs. Royd Lloyd

Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto vs. Juhabach is the first fight between the leaders of the Gotei 13 and Vandenreich since their previous conflict 1,000 years prior.

Aftermath of the Previous Fight
Following the defeat of Driscoll Berci, Yamamoto tells a nearby Shūhei Hisagi that he will not let a single member of the Vandenreich survive this ongoing conflict. With this said, he leaves his current position on the battlefield and dashes throughout the Seireitei.

Old Rivals Reunite
He approaches Juhabach, who has recently defeated Eleventh Division Captain Zaraki, and the Unnamed Vandenreich Member. Yamamoto greets his old rival before stating that he shall kill him.

However, shortly after he says this Äs Nödt, NaNaNa Najahkoop and an unnamed Stern Ritter ambush him. NaNaNa mocks Yamamoto, calling him naive for taking on Juhabach alone. Additionally, Äs and the unnamed Stern Ritter say that it's the end for him and that he should die. In response, the Captain-Commander releases his Zanpakutō and burns them all down. Juhabach callously scolds his subordinates, saying that because of their irrational thinking and "meddling", they've been defeated. Following his opponent's harsh words, Yamamoto charges forth.

Battle
Yamamoto slashes Juhabach's arm with his Zanpakutō, cutting through the skin causing the Quincy's blood to spew. Yamamoto remarks how Juhabach retains his lack of care for his subordinates even after 1,000 years. In response, he is taunted for his temperament even after having grown so old. Yamamoto shouts for his opponent to silence. Juhabach is again struck by an attack; with little opportunity to evade, he counters by revealing his Spirit Weapon, which he also uses to deflect Yamamoto's technique. Juhabach says that Yamamoto appears to have waiting a long time just to see his weapon but is told otherwise. He then watches in surprise as the flames surrounding Yamamoto disappear within his Bankai, Zanka no Tachi.
