Summary
As Bazz-B chases Haschwalth through the hall with his blazing fingers, the fight gives way to memories of their youth over a millennium earlier. A young Bazz-B, already able to conjure a spirit bow when no other child his age could, mocks Haschwalth's clumsy hunting and appoints the friendless, bruised boy his underling, tossing him a rabbit and a button from his cape while promising to make them both the greatest Quincy alive.
Key Events
Back in the present, Bazz-B needles Haschwalth over renaming the castle Wahrwelt, then melts the floor with Burner Finger 3 when his old friend dodges the question. A further memory shows that six months into their friendship, Yhwach razes Bazz-B's ancestral castle, and the two boys resolve to grow strong enough to kill him, biding their time by living rough in the woods. Years later, Yhwach stuns Seydlitz by revealing that his new order, the Sternritter, exists to conquer Soul Society itself.
