Jugram Haschwalth (ユーグラム・ハッシュヴァルト, Yūguramu Hasshuvaruto) is a Quincy and the Wandenreich's Sternritter Grandmaster (星十字騎士団最高位 (シュテルンリッター・グランドマスター), shuterunrittā gurandomasutā; Japanese for "highest-ranked of the band of star-cross knights") with the designation "B". He is also the advisor to Emperor Yhwach.

Appearance

Haschwalth is a tall young man with a thin build and long blonde hair, which descends past his shoulders. His usual attire is a variation of the Stern Ritter's typical white uniform, consisting of the order's signature hooded-cloak and a thigh-length trench coat, along with white trousers and shoes. When informing Yamamoto of the coming war, his cloak had been exchanged with a hooded-cape, which featured a black mask and a thin black sash diagonally encircling his body from the cape's left epaulette.

Personality

While speaking in a much more casual manner to Yhwach than some, Haschwalth still retains a highly respectful tone. He is very loyal to Yhwach, preventing another Stern Ritter from recklessly entering Yhwach's chambers in outrage of his chosen successor and calmly stating it is Yhwach's decision to name the successor, not his own. Haschwalth is quite confident in his abilities: when the Wandenreich invades Soul Society for a second time, Haschwalth confronts Captain-Commander Shunsui Kyōraku and declares they will instantly exterminate the enemy army.

Plot

The Thousand-Year Blood War arc

Haschwalth examines Asguiaro Ebern's medallion.

Witnessing Yhwach mercilessly slaughter Luders Friegen and Asguiaro Ebern, Haschwalth questions if such a thing was alright given how precious the Arrancar were, due to them not needing combat training. Yhwach dismisses this, stating that they could acquire as many Arrancar as needed, thanks to Hueco Mundo already being their territory, as he looks at the imprisoned Tier Harribel. While examining Asguiaro's discarded medallion, Haschwalth notices that while it had been used, it was unable to seal Ichigo Kurosaki's Bankai. After he states that actual proof was useful despite this being predicted, Yhwach then orders him to instruct the Jagdarmee of Hueco Mundo to collect "a few idiots" alive.

Haschwalth cuts down Hidetomo.

While Ichigo confronts Quilge Opie, Haschwalth and the other Stern Ritter gather at the Gate of the Sun at Yhwach's behest, before traveling to Seireitei to participate in the destruction of Soul Society. Once there, he and the others emerge from pillars of blue flame prior to engaging the Shinigami in battle, where Haschwalth tells the opposition to shiver in fear as the Stern Ritter have come to purge them. Ordered to halt by Hidetomo Kajōmaru, he retorts that he wouldn't mind if Hidetomo fled out of overwhelming fear, proven by his reluctance to accept this as a matter of life and death despite the war having already begun. When Hidetomo charges, Haschwalth effortlessly cuts him down. Seeing the enemy's resolve crumble from afar, Yhwach permits him to spare their lives if he thought it kinder to do so.

Haschwalth watches as Kenpachi's unconscious body is held aloft.

After later informing Yhwach of Captain Byakuya Kuchiki's death and how it took longer than predicted, they are approached by Kenpachi Zaraki carrying three dead Stern Ritter atop his shoulders. Identifying the captain, Haschwalth listens to how each was killed and states that what he had heard was indeed true, that Zaraki was a monster. His comment is ignored as Zaraki makes clear his intent to kill Yhwach. He then looks on as the captain is defeated and held aloft by his throat, just before the arrival of Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto. As the battle between the Captain-Commander and Yhwach ensues, Haschwalth continues to watch despite his concern. Witnessing Yamamoto's released Bankai, he questions if all there was to Zanka no Tachi was a scorched sword, but Yhwach warns him to not underestimate it, explaining the Bankai's past abilities. When Yamamoto later makes Zanka no Tachi, Nishi visible, he concludes that such extreme heat could not appear as flames, and so discerns that it was instead the Captain-Commander's overwhelming Reiatsu.

Yhwach stops Haschwalth.

With the real Yhwach's return after Royd Lloyd's defeat, and Yamamoto's subsequent death, Haschwalth is told to convey to the other Stern Ritter that they are to raze the Soul Society. As the Quincies turned to retreat and await the Royal Guard, an explosion occurs above the two. Identifying Ichigo Kurosaki's Reiatsu, Haschwalth questions if he should purge him, but Yhwach declines, only for Ichigo to appear before them as they attempt to leave. Stepping forward, Haschwalth is stopped by Yhwach, who ultimately decides that they're left with no option other than to crush Ichigo. With Ichigo quickly subdued, he acknowledges Yhwach's order to bring him back to their castle, where they could recruit him into their army.

Haschwalth protects Yhwach from Ichigo's attack.

When Ichigo suddenly awakens, Haschwalth observes the ensuing fight with Yhwach, eventually disclosing that his leader's time outside of the Schatten Bereich had reached its limit. When Yhwach asks why he had not mentioned this sooner, Haschwalth replies that even if he had, he would have been unable to stop him. As they move to leave, Ichigo tries to attack, only for Haschwalth to swiftly break the blade of Tensa Zangetsu before departing.

Haschwalth stops Bazz-B from objecting to the decision.

Later, he brings Uryū Ishida to the Wandenreich headquarters to meet Yhwach. Present when Yhwach tells the Stern Ritter Uryū shall be his successor, Haschwalth stops Bazz-B from stepping forward to object to Yhwach's decision. Afterwards, when Bazz-B tries to go to Yhwach's chambers to object, Haschwalth stops him once more. When Bazz-B states that Haschwalth should have been Yhwach's successor, Haschwalth, stating that it is Yhwach's decision, tells Bazz-B to calm down. They are interrupted by Askin Nakk Le Vaar, who states that they almost got into a fight, and this would have been bad for Haschwalth's position. Returning to his chambers afterwards, Haschwalth finds an attendant waiting for his return. Questioning how he must feel after Yhwach's decision on his successor, Haschwalth simply replies that he understands their leader's intent to use the discontent within the Wandenreich ranks in order to control Uryū's actions.

Haschwalth emerges alongside Yhwach and Uryū.

Shortly after the Seireitei vanishes, Haschwalth emerges on one of the new buildings beside Yhwach and Uryū. Listening as Yhwach tells Uryū about the additional verse to the Kaiser Gesang, Haschwalth prepares to follow his leader. Quickly moving to the captain's room, Haschwalth approaches the newly appointed Captain-Commander, Shunsui Kyōraku, and explains to him how the Wandenreich had managed to invade Soul Society so easily. Introducing himself and his position as Yhwach's advisor, Haschwalth goes on to inform Kyōraku of their intention to make the unfolding battle very short.

Powers & Abilities

Great Spiritual Power: Haschwalth's spiritual power is on a level comparable to or greater than that of a captain-level Shinigami.

Keen Intellect: Haschwalth is a very perceptive man. He deduced the flames covering Yamamoto's body when he was using Zanka no Tachi, Nishi: Zanjutsu Gokui were actually his Reiatsu. He figured out Yhwach intentionally created discord among the Wandenreich soldiers by naming Uryū his successor.

Reishi Absorption: As a Quincy, Haschwalth can absorb spiritual energy from the atmosphere, combining it with his own spiritual energy to form weapons and use techniques.

Spirit Weapon

Reishi Sword: As a Quincy, Haschwalth can gather both spirit energy and particles and form them into weapons. His favored weapon manifests in the form of a narrow cruciform sword, with which he effortlessly sliced apart the blade of Ichigo Kurosaki's Bankai, Tensa Zangetsu.

Trivia

• Bazz-B addresses him as Jugo (ユーゴー, Yūgō).

Quotes

• (To Hidetomo Kajōmaru) "Have you not noticed? Your fear is so great...that rather than see this for the matter of life and death it is, you have subconsciously chosen to refer to it as a matter of 'passage'. A foolish notion. This war has already begun."
