Sajin Komamura vs. Bambietta Basterbine

 is a fight which takes place during the Quincy Blood War. It focuses on the conflict between 7th Division Captain Sajin Komamura and Sternritter "E" Bambietta Basterbine.

Prelude
After seeing Kokujō Tengen Myō'ō leave her Medallion, Bambietta blows up the upper story of a building behind her and wonders why the Sternritter are getting so worked up about losing something which did not belong to them in the first place. Stating the Sternritter are sissies, Bambietta notes Komamura is not in the Seireitei and says she did not notice this until Kokujō Tengen Myō'ō left her.

Stating Komamura should have let her know he was leaving, Bambietta asks Candice Catnipp, Meninas McAllon, Giselle Gewelle, and Liltotto Lamperd if they are listening to her and turns around, only to see no one is standing behind her. Wondering why no one is here, Bambietta proclaims she now looks like someone who talks to themselves and says Liltotto is the one who said the five of them should stick together for this mission. Expressing anger, Bambietta tells the girls to come out as energy surges around her in an expanding dome and destroys the area around Bambietta.

Stating she will be happy to remind them if they have forgotten what she does to subordinates who make her mad, Bambietta proclaims she will flatten the entire area and find them herself. Telling her to stop, Komamura lands in front of her while wearing new armor. Saying she did not expect Komamura to get here so quickly, Bambietta asks him why he is wearing new armor, prompting Komamura to state it was given to him. Saying she understands, Bambietta states heroes are supposed to show up late and says it would have been much more exciting if Komamura had showed up after she had leveled more of the Seireitei. Asking Bambietta if this is so, 5th Division Captain Shinji Hirako appears on a destroyed wall behind her and states they are not cut out for being heroes in this case.

As Shinji says he is not the type to patiently wait around until the Seireitei is in ruins, Bambietta begins to ask him who he is before expressing shock. As his image begins to swirl around, Shinji asks Bambietta if she is feeling all right as Bambietta wonders what is going on. Stating the name of his Zanpakutō is Sakanade, Shinji explains how it reverses the direction of everything his opponent sees and says it is not something which can easily be adjusted to before revealing he has been practicing to make his opponents hear his words backwards as well. As Bambietta begins to state this will not stop her from defeating him, Shinji appears behind her and says it is no use before stating Bambietta will have to forgive him for cutting her down because he does not like attacking girls. As Shinji expresses confusion, Bambietta activates Quincy: Vollständig and reveals the Sternritter could not use this ability while they possessed a Shinigami's Bankai before proclaiming the Shinigami will regret ever seeking to get their Bankai back. As the pillar of light around Bambietta shatters, Shinji wonders what this is before being hit by an explosion as Komamura expresses surprise.

Battle
Flying back, Shinji lands and is engulfed by another explosion. Saying it does not matter if everything is reversed, Bambietta proclaims she will simply blow up everything around her with The Explode if she cannot understand where anything is. As Bambietta fires several Reishi spheres from her wings, the area below her is engulfed by several explosions. When the smoke clears to reveal Komamura protecting Shinji, Bambietta smiles. Calling out to Shinji, 5th Division Lieutenant Momo Hinamori leaps into the air behind Bambietta. As Bambietta asks her whose lieutenant she is, Momo attempts to attack her as a crazed grin appears on Bambietta's face.

Leaping into the air, Komamura grabs Momo as two Reishi spheres travel past Momo's head and explode above them. Telling Momo she is too impulsive, Komamura states Momo cannot offset Bambietta's explosions with those of Tobiume before saying Momo cannot defend herself without a shield or some sort of armor. When Bambietta asks him if he is implying his armor is enough to protect him, Komamura slashes at her as Bambietta moves away. When Bambietta fires two more Reishi spheres at him, Komamura notes he must avoid being hit by them before realizing there is a very small delay between the moment of impact and the actual explosion. Noting his armor should be able to withstand the explosion, Komamura realizes his brute strength should allow him to repel the explosion and raises his arm.

As Komamura realizes something, the Reishi spheres hit his gauntlet and create a large explosion. As the smoke clears to reveal Komamura's gauntlet has been destroyed, Bambietta admits she did not predict this and notes Komamura moved his head out of the way at the last second because he realized something was wrong when the Reishi spheres hit him. Stating she is impressed by his animal instincts, Bambietta says Komamura must have realized her explosions cannot be stopped before revealing she creates bombs by infusing objects with her Reishi instead of simply firing bombs. As Momo expresses disbelief, Bambietta flies higher up and fires more Reishi spheres. Moving in front of Momo, Komamura tells her to stay behind him as a massive explosion occurs. Stating this probably was not enough to kill Komamura, Bambietta says it is time to see what is under Komamura's mask before expressing confusion when the smoke clears to reveal Komamura has become a human. As Bambietta states this is not the dog whom she remembers, Komamura recalls how his great-grandfather taught him the Human Transformation Technique and activates Kokujō Tengen Myō'ō Dangai Jōe.
