Yeah, at that temperature Äs should have been fluid-like, made up of shattered tini, tiny popsicle particles moving around as if he/she/it was a bunch of water droplets sliding around on a hot plate. Let's not even go into the fact that it happened in a time span of 4 sec. That, together with Rukia...nah, not one of his best chapters.

@ Gigawolf1: was wondering the same. Also thought that Äs Nödt Vollständig' appearance resembled Byakuya's opponent Zommari Rureaux back in the Hueco Mundo arc. And about the Sternritters, something that keeps bugging me is that they are far from being just human with Quincy powers. Why are they so beefed up? Would it be similar to that some Quincies can acquire Vollständig much like some Shinigami can acquire Bankai? Is it a concentrated Reishi/Reiryoku thing from Yhwach while creating the Quincy? Getting worried about Ishida...
