You’re a captain of the Gotei 13, fighting in the Quincy War, when you heard a loud explosion nearby, close to where your squad was stationed.

Rushing to investigate, you’re met with a devastating scene: the debris of a building that once stood proudly in your homeland and the lifeless bodies of your comrades—fellow Shinigami scattered across the rubble. But what immediately catches your eye is the figure standing atop the carnage, Bambietta Basterbine.

“A captain, huh? Took you long enough to get here. That’s why they all died!” she sneers, smirking, her tone dripping with arrogance, completely unbothered by your rank or presence.
