Background[]

The Sternritter (星十字騎士団 (シュテルンリッター), shuterunrittā; German for "Star Knights", Japanese for "Star Cross Knight Band/Order") is Mains Faction Antagonistics of Bleach Series.

They are a specific group of powerful Quincy in the Wandenreich's army, who played a pivotal role in the invasion of Soul Society, being tasked with purging the Soul Reapers. They were originally created to invade and conquer Soul Society 1000 years ago. The Sternritter were created when the members drank from Yhwach's blood. This enables Yhwach to carve a part of his soul into the Sternritter. This carving takes on the form of a letter, which is used as the designation of the Sternritter. The carving also grants the Sternritter their unique powers.

Upon the Sternritter's death, the part of Yhwach's soul they received is returned to Yhwach, who gains strength because of it. Lille Barro was the first Quincy to drink Yhwach's blood and be given a Schrift, and is considered to be the one closest to god. Pernida Parnkgjas and Gerard Valkyrie each possess their own inherent power, while later on, they were granted a Schrift by Yhwach, which led to rumors of them being the Left Hand and Heart of the Soul King, respectively; they were bestowed a letter designation that compliments their natural abilities simply as a recognition of their statuses.

Leadership[]

The Sternritters are led by Jugram Haschwalth, who is their Sternritter Grandmaster, and has led them since their installment 1000 years ago. They also follow the commands of their monarch Yhwach, who leads the whole of the Wandenreich.

Strength[]

The Sternritters, are the Wandenreich's strongest warriors, all around or above Captain-Level Soul Reapers. Initially when they made their first appearance, they were able to inflict a large amount of casualties upon the Gotei 13, killing over a 1000 low ranked Soul Reapers, and able to fight on par with the Captains and Lieutenants. As such, they have proven to be difficult enemies to the individuals of the other worlds, especially when they use their Quincy Vollstandig technique, which expands and increases their power. According to Kisuke Urahara, they are considered to be a much bigger threat than the Espada.

Four Sternritter are appointed as Yhwach's Schutzstaffel (親衛隊 (シュッツシュタッフェル), Shuttsushutafferu; German for "Protective Echelon", Japanese for "Elite/Imperial Guards"): Pernida Parnkgjas, Askin Nakk Le Vaar, Gerard Valkyrie, Lille Barro. They are a group of Yhwach's most powerful Sternritters, who are assigned as his elite guard, they were even able to defeat Squad 0, and pressure several of the Gotei 13's strongest members and allied individuals. Even their leader Lille Barro, was able to fight on par and pressure the Head Captain of the Gotei 13, Shunsui Kyoraku by himself.

The Organization mainly consists of SS or S-class Fighters with two SSS Class Fighters: Jugram Haschwalth and Gerard Valkyrie.

Relationship with the Coalition[]

As the Sternritters are the direct subordinates of one of the Act Of Chaos, their emperor Yhwach, they are a loyal faction towards the Coalition. As such, they are are all given high ranks within the organization, and have authority over low rank soldiers. However, like most of the individuals within the Coalition, while there is mutual respect between their colleagues, they do not express any sense of concern or camaraderie between each other, as Giselle Gewelle was willing to use her The Zombie ability, to gain control of her fallen comrades, such as when she was going use it to have Dellinger to have him fight for her against his will, despite Diamante's orders, to not use her powers on members of his crew.

According to Bazz-B, the Sternritters are held in high regard within the Coalition, stating that as a regular Sternritter himself, the only other individuals within his world that outrank him, beside Yhwach and Haschwalth, are Yhwach's elite guards, the Schutzstaffel and the top-ranked Espada.

Threat to the Alliance[]

As the direct subordinates to one of the Acts Of Chaos, they are a major threat to the Alliance, with all the Sternritters being around or above Soul Reaper captain-class, as before they were able to pressure and nearly overpower the Gotei 13 in the previous Blood War. As such they have proven to be dangerous enemies for the individuals of the other worlds, especially when they unleashed their Quincy Vollstandig where they use their full powers. The Alliance consider them an ever bigger threat than the Espada.

Most members who have been shown to engage in battle have proven themselves to be serious threats to the Alliance, able to fight on par with the strongest soldiers. As with their unique abilities they have dominated the battles they have partook in and for a brief amount of time, even forcing members of the Alliance to use more drastic measures to defeat them:

  • Giselle Gewelle, using her "The Zombie" was able to use her zombie control powers on the civilians the Coalition captured to pressure the 1st Division at the Battle of Worth Woodsea, causing psychological damage to their soldiers.
  • Meninas McAllon,
  • Gremmy Thoumeaux, with his "The Visionary" is the most versatile of the Sternritters, able to create whatever he imagines, even physical beings. He was able to defeat Jura Neekis, the commander of the Defense Division, and later fight on par with the Fifth Kazekage Gaara and nearly destroyed Crocus, the capital of Fiore, if it had not been for the intervention of Monkey D. Dragon.
  • Jerome Guizbatt, would have been able to annihilate the majority of the armies gathered at the Anemone Plains with his enhanced "The Roar", while he was in his Quincy Vollstandig form, if it had not been for the quick thinking of Sanji, and Killer B landing the final blow with a Tailed Beast Bomb.
  • Berenice Gabrielli,
  • Loyd Lloyd,
  • Bambietta Basterbine, as a member of the Coalition Bomb Squad, was able to surprise and destroy much of the 2nd Division with her "The Explode", and then defeat Rogue Cheney, a powerful Dragon Slayer and one of the Twin Dragons of the Sabertooth Guild.
  • Äs Nödt,
  • NaNaNa Najahkoop, with his "The Underbelly", was able to paralyze a large amount of Alliance soldiers at the Battle of Magnolia Town. Even fighting and overpowering the Thunder God Tribe, one of Fairy Tail's strongest teams by himself and ending up defeating them. When using his Quincy Vollstandig, he was capable of fighting on par with Laxus Dreyar, one of Fairy Tail's S-Class wizards and would have used his enhanced Schrift to paralyze a large portion of the battlefield, so in the end Laxus resorted to sacrificing his left arm to catch him off guard.
  • Bazz-B, has proven to be one of the top Sternritters in terms of strength, as shown in the Battle of Magnolia Town. He first faced and defeated both Darui of the Hidden Cloud who is a captain of the 2nd Division and Jenny Realight, who is one of Blue Pegasus' top mages. Then he went on to become a rival of one of the Acts Of Order, Monkey D Luffy, who has a bounty of 500 million Beri, then fought on even terms with his older brother, Portgas D Ace. In the end he was one of the few Coalition officers who were left undefeated at the battle of Magnolia Town.
  • Royd Lloyd,
  • Driscoll Berci,
  • Shaz Domino, with his "The Viability" was able to repair and heal himself, even capable of pressuring Gajeel Redfox, the Iron Dragon Slayer of Fairy Tail. In the end Gajeel had to take a risk to defeat Shaz, by evolving himself into a Blood Dragon Slayer, and after knocking Shaz away, he was left unconscious and taken out of the Battle of Tenrou Island.
  • Pernida Parnkgjas,
