"At what point did I say this would be a one-on-one fight? In a fair duel, not even a miracle would allow you to defeat me! Come at me together!" |
Gerard Valkyrie (ジェラルド・ヴァルキリー, Jerarudo Varukirī) is a Quincy, one of the Wandenreich's Sternritter with the designation M: The Miracle,[2] and part of Yhwach's elite guard: the Schutzstaffel.[3][4] He is also the Heart of the Soul King (霊王の心臓, Reiō no Shinzō).[5]
Appearance[]
Gerard is a tall and broad muscular man with light blonde, shoulder-length hair, and pupil-less eyes.[6][7] He wears a winged helmet and a white cloak fastened at the front with three buttons and a dark red Hagal rune on the left-hand side.[3] Underneath this cloak, he wears a red cape held by a pin on both shoulders, gauntlets on either arm, black pants with a white X-shaped belt and disc-shaped buckle, and white shin guards with discs on his kneecaps.[8][9] Underneath his mask, Gerard has black sideways M-shaped marks covering the sides of his face, and wears a thin black braid around his scalp.[10]
Personality[]
Gerard is a very aggressive man, rushing forward to attack Senjumaru Shutara almost immediately after being summoned to the Soul King Palace. He is also very confident in his power, proclaiming that Senjumaru could not hope to stop his blade with her delicate arms, and reacting with interest and amusement rather than apprehension when she summons a massive guard to fight him.[11] Even when confronted by several lieutenant- and captain-level Shinigami, Gerard demanded that they all attack him at once because none of them would stand a chance in a one-on-one fight with him.[12] However, he is unnerved by Kirio Hikifune's cage of trees, referring to it as an "eerie trick".[13] He boisterously commends his opponents if they impress him in battle,[14][15] and believes he is the greatest and mightiest of the Quincy.[16]
He holds Yhwach in very high regard, as he loudly berated Lille Barro for killing and leaving Senjumaru's "corpse" in Yhwach's path and even ordered him to clear it up immediately.[17]
In contrast to most Sternritter, he is benevolent toward most of his teammates, having caught and carried Pernida Parnkgjas after it fell off the Soul King Palace,[18] and openly expressed his approval for Uryū Ishida after the latter explained his method of protecting Yhwach.[19] However, this attitude is not expressed towards all of his allies, as he promised to kill Askin Nakk Le Vaar if he fell behind in battle.[20]
He also showed his disapproval of sadism, as he promised to draw Hoffnung against Zaraki after catching a glimpse of his passion for wanting to cut him off.[21]
History[]
Gerard and Pernida Parnkgjas did not have any special powers bestowed upon them by Yhwach, as they were the only Sternritter who possessed their special abilities from the beginning. Because of this, rumors of them being the Left Hand and Heart of the Soul King, respectively, were spread among their comrades. Eventually, Yhwach bestowed a Schrift upon each of them in recognition of their status.[22]
Plot[]
The Thousand-Year Blood War arc[]
Following the Wandenreich's first invasion of Soul Society, Gerard, Pernida Parnkgjas, Lille Barro, and Jugram Haschwalth stand behind Yhwach as he announces Uryū Ishida will be his successor to the rest of the Sternritter.[23]
Gerard attacks Senjumaru.
When Yhwach summons his elite force, the Schutzstaffel, Gerard is among those who emerge from his shadow. Taking off his white cloak, Gerard promises to cut down Askin Nakk Le Vaar if the latter gets in his way before attacking Senjumaru Shutara, who blocks with her needle. However, Gerard easily destroys her needle with a single slash of his sword, Hoffnung, and demands to know if Senjumaru thinks she can block Hoffnung with her thin arm before attacking once more. When Senjumaru summons a much larger version of her guard, a grinning Gerard notes how big it is.[24]
Nimaiya defeats Gerard with a single attack.
After Lille Barro seemingly kills Senjumaru, Gerard berates him for leaving the body in Yhwach's path before expressing disbelief at someone so weak being in the Royal Guard.[25] When Kirio Hikifune surrounds the group with a cage of trees, an unnerved Gerard comments on how eerie it is before taunting Lille for being seemingly unable to pierce it with his Heilig Pfeil. After listening to Hikifune explain the nature of the cage, Gerard and the other Sternritter watch as Ōetsu Nimaiya lands before them and proclaims that the real fight begins here.[26] Gerard immediately attacks Nimaiya, who dodges before cutting him down.[27]
Yhwach revives Gerard and the other Schutzstaffel with Auswählen.
Soon afterward, Gerard is resurrected through the power of Yhwach's Auswählen[28] and engages Senjumaru in battle. Gerard quickly thrusts Hoffnung through her chest, but is surprised to discover that he attacked a decoy dummy with Senjumaru's features just before Senjumaru comes down on him from above with her Shikai, Shigarami. When Gerard blocks her stab with his shield and slashes Hoffnung at her Senjumaru rapidly weaves threads around his wrists, ankles, and midsection to pin them to the ground. Seeing Shigarami, Gerard mocks Senjumaru for being so attached to her "knife" and proclaims that it will not hurt him, only for an insulted Senjumaru to stab it at his chest. Senjumaru is bewildered to find Shigarami barely piercing Gerard's heart, which starts to glow red as a laughing Gerard declares that it cannot be killed with such a small blade and rips through the thread binding him to punch Senjumaru away. Gerard then walks over to a prone Senjumaru and stomps on her head. Gerard later looks on in shock as Nimaiya, Kirinji, and Hikifune slit their own throats to release the Blood Oath's Seal binding them. As Senjumaru orders the Schutzstaffel to prepare themselves before activating her Bankai, Shatatsu Karagara Shigarami no Tsuji, Gerard finds himself frozen alive and sealed away in a tapestry alongside his comrades.[29]
After Uryū kills Senjumaru, her Bankai vanishes, freeing Gerard and the other Schutzstaffel. They then bow before Yhwach as the Quincy King steps towards the Greater Palace and the Soul King.[30] After Yhwach kills the Soul King and is confronted by Ichigo Kurosaki and his friends, Gerard and the other Schutztaffel arrive to confront them, with Gerard noting that he expected more of an army to oppose them.[31] When Uryū Ishida manages to accurately predict what Lille is about to tell him about properly protecting Yhwach, a laughing Gerard proclaims that Uryū has their acknowledgment.[32]
Gerard and the other Schutzstaffel sit in the palace.
Later, Gerard and the other Schutzstaffel sit on couches in the palace. Noticing Uryū looks worried, Gerard assures him that Yhwach is going to completely absorb the Soul King without being harmed.[33] After Yhwach completely absorbs the Soul King, Jugram Haschwalth informs Gerard and the others of this, to their surprise, before bringing them to the Soul King's chambers, where they find Yhwach oozing darkness. When Yhwach turns around to reveal that he has gained several more eyes, Gerard and the others are shocked. Due to Yhwach's immense power, the top of the palace shatters, forcing the Sternritter to move to pieces of rubble for safety.[34]
Afterwards, Gerard is present alongside Haschwalth and the other Sternritter when Yhwach explains the name of his new palace, Wahrwelt, and how it will be the cornerstone of their new world.[35] Later, a messenger informs Haschwalth that the Schutzstaffel have each gone to a different part of the city.[36]
Gerard attempts to prevent the Shinigami from bypassing him.
Gerard runs through the city, looking for opponents, but runs into a dead end. He then curses his fellow three Schutzstaffel.[37] Eventually, Gerard confronts the Shinigami who have not been taken down by Lille and commends them for making it so far before proclaiming that they will have to get past him. When Renji Abarai attempts to confront him alone while the others move on, Gerard blocks their path with his cape before demanding that they all attack him at once.[38]
Gerard is knocked back into some rubble by Byakuya and Renji.
Renji and Byakuya Kuchiki manage to wound Gerard. They send him flying back, saying the Quincy should not underestimate a captain and lieutenant and that he could never hope to beat them. However, Gerard laughs and says he would need a miracle to do that.[39] Gerard explains that miracles should only occur under certain circumstances so that people recognize them for what they are. As Gerard proclaims that he will show the Shinigami a true miracle, Byakuya engulfs his head with Senbonzakura before flicking the blades sideways, which causes Gerard's bloody helmet to fly off, and blasting Gerard a second time.[40]
Gerard overwhelms the Shinigami.
However, as Byakuya and the others attempt to leave, an enormous Gerard appears before them, having used The Miracle to increase his size, and admits that he has never been damaged to this extent before. Gerard breaks off and throws a tower at the Shinigami, forcing them to scatter, before smashing his hand into the area where Shinji and Momo are. When Byakuya attacks him with Senbonzakura, Gerard blocks the petals with his hand before destroying the building where Byakuya is standing. After blowing away Rukia and Renji with his breath, Gerard proclaims that there are no miracles coming to save the Shinigami.[41]
Gerard repels the Visored.
Soon afterward, Gerard laments how he has already defeated the captain-class Shinigami and noting that he will simply have to search for survivors before smashing the building where Hiyori Sarugaki and Hachigen Ushōda are hiding. As Gerard proclaims that making the impossible possible is the definition of a miracle, Hiyori dons her Hollow mask and fires a Cero at him, but Gerard merely brushes it off and claims that it will take more than this to defeat him, only to be surprised when Hachigen, Love Aikawa, and Lisa Yadōmaru attack him all at once. However, Gerard withstands their attacks and repels the Visored before deciding to flatten the area, only for Tōshirō Hitsugaya to appear and freeze his arm in place.[42]
Gerard is engulfed in ice.
After Hitsugaya introduces himself as the captain of the 10th Division, Gerard introduces himself as a member of the "benevolent" Schutzstaffel and shatters the ice covering his arm before proclaiming that they should be friends as he smashes the area where Hitsugaya is standing. However, Hitsugaya merely dodges and states he is not interested in making friends before activating his Bankai, Daiguren Hyōrinmaru, and engulfing the upper half of Gerard's body in ice.[43] Gerard shrugs off Hitsugaya's attacks, but as he tries to crush both Hitsugaya and Byakuya, Kenpachi Zaraki arrives and chops off his forearm.[44]
Gerard clashes with Zaraki.
After regenerating his arm and announcing its enhanced power, Gerard stomps on Zaraki and Hitsugaya, only to be thrown into the tower at the center of Wahrwelt by Zaraki. When Zaraki attacks him once more, Gerard repels his attack by batting him away with his shield, sending Zaraki flying through multiple buildings, before unsheathing Hoffnung while noting that it is worth letting his sword rust a little against a being of darkness like Zaraki. After Zaraki releases his Zanpakutō, Nozarashi, Gerard clashes with him, but is ultimately pushed back once more, though he notes that Zaraki managed to nick the blade of Hoffnung as Zaraki sustains a large cut to his chest.[45]
Gerard overwhelms Zaraki.
As blood spurts from his wound, Zaraki wonders what just happened, prompting Gerard to claim that The Miracle gives form to the desires and emotions of the masses, which is what increases his size and gives Hoffnung its power to reflect damage. Zaraki ridicules Gerard for acting like a cliched villain, only for Gerard to ridicule him in turn for not yet having realized the gap between them as they begin clashing, with the two of them complimenting each other's speed and reflexes. Slowly but surely, Gerard begins to overwhelm Zaraki and points out the waning power behind his strikes before smashing him into the ground. Intercepting Senbonzakura in the air behind him and smashing his sword into Hitsugaya, Gerard proclaims that he is the strongest and greatest warrior who has been bestowed with everything.[46]
Zaraki cuts Gerard in half.
When Zaraki's Bankai is activated, Gerard looks on in surprise before expressing disappointment at Zaraki's resulting appearance. Claiming that Zaraki is not worthy of being cut down with Hoffnung, Gerard attempts to punch him, only to be shocked when a roaring Zaraki rips his arm off. Gerard reminds Zaraki that cutting off his arms will accomplish nothing, but Zaraki merely leaps into the air before slashing at Gerard, who has his left forearm cut off along with half of his shield when he attempts to block the strike. Zaraki punches Gerard in the chin, sending him flying back off the edge of Wahrwelt as he wonders what this power is. Gaining a pair of wings and flying back toward the city, Gerard proclaims that a Shinigami cornering him like this could not occur even in his worst nightmare, but Zaraki swiftly cuts him in half vertically.[47]
Gerard survives being bifurcated and activates his Quincy: Vollständig.
As Gerard's two halves fall onto the city, they suddenly rise and form a Quincy Zeichen with their blood before fusing together once more, resulting in Gerard activating his Quincy: Vollständig, Aschtonig. Gerard destroys a large portion of the city with a blast from Hoffnung before proclaiming that as the most noble knight of God, he will raise his blade even in the face of his own mortality. After Zaraki fails to attack him due to his arm breaking from the sheer power of his own Bankai, Gerard slashes him into the ground before destroying the building that Hitsugaya is standing on.[48]
Gerard breaks out of the ice encasing him.
When Hitsugaya transforms into an adult, Gerard wonders what purpose this serves before proclaiming that this is how their fight should be. Slamming his sword down, Gerard claims that Hitsugaya is better suited to fight him as an adult before throwing his shield, which Hitsugaya freezes in place in midair before reprimanding Gerard for throwing around large objects that could fall on Seireitei like that. Gerard slashes at Hitsugaya, who cuts through the blade of Hoffnung before stating that its power has ceased to work because it is frozen, prompting Gerard to summon his Heilig Bogen while proclaiming that he will simply crush Hitsugaya with a torrent of power instead. However, Hitsugaya notes that he summoned his bow a second too late as Gerard is frozen solid by Shikai Hyōketsu. Suddenly, Gerard breaks free of the ice and grabs Hitsugaya while proclaiming that he cannot be bound by the elements of this world, only to suddenly be toppled by Zaraki grabbing and pushing his feet. As Gerard's arm is frozen due to touching Hitsugaya, Byakuya summons the Senkei form of his Bankai before using its secret technique, Ikka Senjinka, to send the blades flying into Gerard's head.[49]
Gerard's entire body reforms.
Gerard's head is destroyed by the attack, and his torso is then frozen and shattered by Daiguren Hyōrinmaru. However, Gerard regenerates from his legs up, gaining a helmet-shaped face with a spike on each shoulder.[50] He swipes at Rukia and Renji, who are pulled out of the way by Byakuya. He then strikes at the Shinigami, but is blocked by Byakuya's Bankai.[51]
Gerard is killed by Yhwach's Auswählen.
As Gerard continues battling Byakuya and Hitsugaya, he is suddenly struck by Yhwach's Auswählen, stripping him down to the bone and killing him.[52]
Equipment[]
Shield: Gerard carries a large, circular, bronze-and-silver buckler shield on his left forearm, which he uses as a sheath for Hoffnung when he is not using it.[9] It is highly durable, having withstood a direct slash from Kenpachi Zaraki without being damaged,[53] but has a limit to how much force it can sustain, as it was easily cut in half by Zaraki's Bankai.[54]
Cape: Gerard wears a cape that can be stretched to act as a wall, preventing his opponents from passing him.[55]
Powers & Abilities[]
Reishi Manipulation: As a Quincy, Gerard primarily absorbs spiritual particles from his surroundings to coat with his own spiritual energy and form weapons.[56] He has an easier time collecting Reishi in environments with higher concentrations of it, such as in Soul Society or Hueco Mundo.[57]
Immense Spiritual Power: As part of the Schutzstaffel and the Heart of the Soul King,[5] Gerard's spiritual power is immense, surpassing most captain-level Shinigami. Gerard himself expressed the utmost confidence that he could take on numerous Shinigami captains and lieutenants by himself, several of whom are exceptionally powerful even among their peers.[58] Gerard's powers were bolstered further when Yhwach used Auswählen to redistribute power from the abandoned Sternritter to revive and strengthen the Schutzstaffel.[59]
Precognitive Immunity: Being a body part of the Soul King, Gerard is allegedly immune to the precognitive abilities of The Almighty, which keeps him from appearing in any of Yhwach's visions, even when they are in the same room in the future.[60]
Gerard's heart proves too durable for Shigarami to pierce.
Enhanced Durability: Being the heart of the Soul King, Gerard's own heart is uniquely more durable than the rest of his body; when Senjumaru Shutara stabbed it with her Shikai, Shigarami, it glowed red and stopped the needle from penetrating more than an inch into Gerard's skin, before pushing it out.[29]
Immense Strength: With a single swing of his sword, Gerard effortlessly blew a hole through the Vestibule Road in the Soul King Palace with ease,[61] and later damaged part of Kirio Hikifune's Tree of Life with only the force generated by his sword swing.[62] He later leaped from one branch of the reformed Soul King Palace to another, covering the tremendous distance in a single bound.[63]
Swordsman: Gerard possesses some proficiency in wielding Hoffnung, allowing him to deliver basic but precise blows with great power behind them to his opponents during combat.[64][65][66][67]
Schrift[]
The Miracle (
- Probability Manipulation: In Gerard's own words, conventional miracles are the result of impossible or near-impossible events happening when they are needed most.[70][71][72] Therefore, whenever Gerard is up against nigh-impossible odds, especially during battle, The Miracle allows him to succeed anyway regardless of his normal chances. When facing off against Byakuya Kuchiki, Shinji Hirako, and Renji Abarai, Gerard noted that it would be impossible for him to win under any normal circumstances, hence why The Miracle increased his power to allow for victory.[70] Likewise, when Gerard commented on how it seemed impossible for him to sense his hidden opponents due to their faint Reiatsu, he immediately located them, claiming that The Miracle allowed for it to happen.[72]
Gerard regenerates his severed arm and becomes gigantic with The Miracle.
- Damage Empowerment: The Miracle allows Gerard to "exchange" all wounds he suffers, fatal included, into increases of his size and strength;[73] by his own claim, his body growing gigantic is a miracle born of people's fear (民衆の恐怖, minshū no kyōfu).[69] If Gerard loses a limb, it will automatically regrow in a flash of light with bulging red veins, stronger than before.[74] Even if his entire body is cut in half vertically, Gerard will simply stitch himself back together with pure light.[75]
- Godly Size (
神 の尺度 , Kami no Saizu; Japanese for Godly Scale; Viz "God's Size"): If Gerard suffers massive harm he will grow gigantic, enough to tower over multi-storied buildings and dwarf anyone of Human size, with all his injuries quickly gone.[76] In this "Godly Size" form, Gerard is strong enough to pick off and throw part of a concrete tower, smash a building with a simple backhand, deflect Byakuya Kuchiki's Senbonzakura with a mere swipe of his hand, and exhale with enough force to create a gale;[77] he could also deflect a collaborative assault from four Visored with a casual blow of his shield.[78] Gerard's durability goes up enough to where he can withstand Hadō #91. Senju Kōten Taihō without a scratch, although being pained.[79] At the same time, Gerard's already vast Reiryoku swells up to the point where he deemed the Reiatsu of various captains and Visored too faint to sense,[80] and even Kenpachi Zaraki, who by this point had awakened to his true power and surpassed Yachiru Unohana, immediately took off his eyepatch and released Nozarashi at the start of their battle, instinctively knowing that he must go all out against Gerard in order to stand a chance.[81]
- Godly Size (
- Hope Infusion: Using The Miracle, Gerard can infuse the people's hope (民衆の希望, minshū no kibō) into his Spirit Weapon, Hoffnung. Thus embodying hope itself, the sword will reflect any damage done to it back onto the attacker, which Gerard likens to hope becoming despair.[69]
Spirit Weapon[]
Gerard's Spirit Weapon, Hoffnung.
Hoffnung (
- Damage Reflection: According to Gerard, thanks to his The Miracle, Hoffnung is the "hopes of people bundled together". Damaging "hope" causes "despair" and so, if Hoffnung is damaged in any way, the combatant who damaged it will suffer injuries in return.[69] For example, a small nick in the blade will result in a disproportionately large cut in the opponent's body.[86] However, Tōshirō Hitsugaya manages to disable this effect by freezing Hoffnung completely solid, ceasing its functions.[87]
Gerard's Heilig Bogen.
Heilig Bogen (
- Heilig Pfeil (
神聖滅矢 , Hairihhi Pufairu; German for "Holy Arrow", Japanese for "Sacred Destruction Arrows") Gerard can fire enormous Heilig Pfeil, which he refers to as a "pure torrent of power".[89]
Quincy: Vollständig[]
Gerard's Quincy: Vollständig, Aschtonig partially manifested.
Gerard's Quincy: Vollständig, Aschtonig, while in his Godly Size
Aschtonig (
Upon being granted power by Yhwach's Auswählen, Gerard's Quincy: Vollständig granted him a Heiligenschein in the shape of the Quincy Zeichen and a pair of red, feathery Reishi wings.[92]
- Wings: If he needs to fly, Gerard can sprout a large pair of wings, which also forms an aura of energy around Hoffnung.[93]
- Energy Blasts: Gerard can fire energy blasts from the tip of Hoffnung that are powerful enough to level entire city blocks.[94]
Gerard's second form.
- Second Form: After Gerard's body is destroyed by Byakuya Kuchiki's Ikka Senjinka, Gerard recreates his entire body, but unlike his initial form, he now has a face resembling a knight's helmet and two spikes on his shoulders. He seems to be devoid of clothing, and has golden energy patterns on his shoulders and waist.[95] Upon witnessing this transformation, Tōshirō Hitsugaya calls him a "monster".[96]
Trivia[]
- In the second best bout poll, Gerard's fight alongside the other Schutzstaffel against Ōetsu Nimaiya ranked 68th.[97]
- Gerard's shoes were originally boots until chapter 667, where they were changed to sandals. The anime adaptation has him in sandals from the start.[1]
Klub Outside Trivia[]
- According to Q&A #475 by Tite Kubo on his fansite "Klub Outside", when Gerard was bifuricated by Kenpachi Zaraki, the Quincy Zeichen that manifested to revive him was Gerard's "core", and had Zaraki "been capable" of destroying it, then Gerard would have been defeated for good.[98]
Appearances in Other Media[]
- In Ryōgo Narita's novel Bleach: Can't Fear Your Own World, it is implied that Gerard himself was not the actual heart of the Soul King, but rather was chosen to host it similar to how Jūshirō Ukitake hosted Mimihagi.
Quotes[]
- (To Senjumaru Shutara) "A woman’s slender arms cannot hope to halt a strike from my blade!"[99]
- (To several powerful Shinigami) "At what point did I say this would be a one-on-one fight? In a fair duel, not even a miracle would allow you to defeat me! Come at me together!"[100]
- (To several powerful Shinigami) "Do you know when the phenomenon known as a “miracle” occurs? If a miracle were to occur at an ordinary moment nobody would think of it as such. 'Oh, hey.' 'You were pretty lucky there.' 'Strange things do happen.' That’s all they’d think."[101]
- (To the defeated Shinigami) "So terrifying it must be to be powerless! But do not cry in anguish. For no matter how much you cry out, no miracle will save you!"[102]
- (To the hiding Visored) "Alas, it seems that even Captain-level Shinigami of the Gotei 13 are powerless before my miraculous power. Even their Reiatsu is so tiny that I can scarcely sense it. Must I pick them out from among this rubble and kill them one by one with this titanic form? How bothersome. It is attempting to crush ants in the sand. A near-impossible task... but that is precisely why I will not fail! Did you think I would not find you because it is impossible?! Achieving the impossible is what miracles are for!"[103]
- (To Kenpachi Zaraki) "So, you managed to knock me down. You are quite strong. I do not like doing this, as it seems cruel, but you leave me no choice. Powerful incarnations of darkness such as yourself deserve to be turned to rust on my blade, Hoffnung!"[104]
- (To Zaraki) "My power is that of miracles! Miracles are the incarnation of the hearts of the people! My great and impenetrable body was enlarged to incredible size by the people's 'fear'. And my blade, 'Hoffnung', is formed from the people's 'hope'. So if it cracks, that can only mean 'despair'!"[105]
- (To Zaraki) "How indomitable! I admire your spirit! However...mere spirit cannot compensate for the gap in our strength!"[106]
- (To Tōshirō Hitsugaya and Byakuya Kuchiki) "I am the biggest, strongest and fastest of all Quincy! A warrior granted every blessing! Did you really expect to outwit me in battle?!"[107]
- "I am 'Aschtonig'. Noble warrior of God. Even in death, I wield this blade for my divine master!"[108]
