No wonder Aizen was so terrified of Yamamoto and his power, and decided to completely seal him off. Dude is a monster. Bleach has to be greatest comeback in anime history
Yeah as a soul reaper
Muken Aizen is stronger than yamma

Needless to say, this episode was quite literally FIRE🔥
After watching this episode, it's safe to say, just like the sternritters declared war on soul society, Bleach literally came back and declared war on all ANIME
Thats True 🤭 bleach is amazing i'm so glad i got the chance to see it after all this years
Well Said
FACTS!!
if shows like naruto , one piece, yuyuhakasho, zatchbell, KH Reborn, got re-animated in this generation they would be the greatest thing of all time. Bleach is currently proving it. one piece is going but start from the beginning with better pacing,
@@snowball5360You forget fairy tail🤣🤣🤣.
That doesnt matter. The potentiel of an anime depends on its respective manga. If the story and art of the manga arent good at the base, its impossible to expect miracles with the anime. Bleach has always been strong on these points.
The problem was that development was very slow and the anime frequently caught up with the manga. If you read the Bleach manga you will realize that this anime adaptation is much more faithful than the original. I even dare to say that the current season is so good because of its fidelity to Kubo's work. It has nothing to do with today's animation. Which is obvious is that the more technology advances: the animation is going to be "more impressive".
This episode was literally done so well! What a rush of emotions this was, tons of new anime scenes and my favorite one is Yama putting kenpachi aside like a chad!
The Quincies came with a plan. Their power is certainly impressive and but they came equipped with the tools to dismantle the soul reapers. From the bankai stealing to formulating a double that is strong enough to deceive Yamamoto and wear him down you can see how prepared they were for this fight.
big brain comment
1,000 years of preparation
dumb monkey. yhwach has no play to deceive yama at the first place. yhwach himself said that dont do anything stupid until he return. which means dont fight yamamoto he will handle himself. yamamoto dick sucker are something else smh. cope harder than that ur dog is dead
what I dont understand is how the double was strong enough to fight old man yama?! He shouldn't have stood a chance against yama
@@zerenityzerene4410 it's revealed later on and honestly....eehhhhhhh
I'm glad to see, other than mappa, bones or ufotable, another animation studio, by the name of studio pierrot gave us a god tier battle
Bro Studio Pierrott walked so the others could run
Studio Pierrot has always produced top quality animation.
@@tyler-hp7oq
When they have time and an actual good staff
david productions gonna give us one soon
@@marcioamaral7511 Literally every animation studio will produce good animation if they had those
Imma keep track of how many times Steph says: YOOOO THE ANIMATION
Many paid attention to the animation in this episode, but the best part for me was the character breakdown of Yama and how well Ywach uses mental tactics to win instead of sheer power. Ywach had Yama's squad and lieutenant killed first, this ultimately turned Yama into a rage monster fighting for revenge
- Here Yama is being completely spiteful, so instead of treating Ywach like a true threat and just erasing him, he tries to belittle, demean and torture him. In doing so, Yama isn't fighting like an experienced Commander which leads to him making the mistake of overusing his energy, which is why it was weak enough for Ywach to steal.

Lol, incredible excuse
@@gangstagummybear3432 it's not an excuse my guy, people irl act irrationally when they're angry why wouldn't the same thing happen in fiction, especially when it's in character?
@@666FallenShadow their hate makes them think irrationally too it seems 🤭
@@666FallenShadow For Bleach especially this is true. There's tons of characters that fight for emotional or otherwise illogical reasons. Nearly half the cast fight like this. Kenpachi's one of the biggest examples of a blood knight, and characters like Byakuya (usually) fight for honor above reason.
Heck that was Aizen's entire downfall. After he survived Gin's assassination attempt he thought he was unbeatable, and him getting cocky directly lead to his loss against Ichigo.
I also feel bad for Yama, he was so strong that both Aizen and Yhwach had to either seal his flames with Arrancar or steal his bankai to be albo to win
Nah, you'll see. The Bankai stealing is basically just a flex.
Yama dead ?
I like that because it just shows how op he was but he went out too quick
@@kevinbell5674 ywach ain't winning that fight without it
@@zdog72.0prince8it was a flex the whole time could easily clap them with it
This episode was insane!
Keep in mind that yhwach only used 20% of his power let that sink in……
but that wasn't even him in the fight vs yamato lol do you mean when he showed up at the end?
@@StruckByBelz dont listen to this guys its not stated how much power anybody used
@@StruckByBelz when he killed him at the end yes
Just want to remind you. There are 2 Sternritter Y. This one, and the one that Kenpachi fought last time and killed. I don't know whether they will expand on the difference between the two so I will stop here.
This man had levels to his bankai bro, everything about that fight was insanely good
this is the Best ep in all Bleach So far
cant wait to see your reaction
15:10 Here's a quick summary of what their power is, Sternritter Y "The Yourself" is shared between the twins Loyd Lloyd & Royd Lloyd (dumb names I know). While both copy the appearance of their target only Loyd copies their power (FYI Loyd is the one that fought Kenpachi by turning into him); Royd on the other hand copies a persons memories & personality (hence why Yama was fooled so easily, plus blind rage didn't help).
When you think about it Royd almost avenged his brother's death before Yamamoto showed up & the fact he was strong enough to hold back an enraged Yamamoto using the full power of his Ban-Kai when 4 others were 1 shoted is a testament to his strength.
This isn't really a spoiler & since both have come & gone (and I doubt the anime will go back to explain because time), but if anyone thinks this is a spoiler I'm sorry.
Awesome explanation, thanks!
I don't think it's a spoiler, even if they come back to it I bet it'll be a one liner without enough details
Their names are also a bit of a joke because Japanese doesn't have L in their language, instead it sounds like R. That's why they share a letter power, because with the Japanese pronunciation they have the same name.
That's some much needed context in my opinion. I was thinking, didn't Kenpachi actually defeat this guy the episode before, though? Now it makes more sense.
What if.. SPOILERS

Royd didn't actually do much to Kenny, but rather was Jugram that did the heavy hitting 👀 especially with how it all happened off screen + Kubo wanting to keep Jugram's power reveal for later
Yhwach probably allocated enough power to Royd to fool Yhwach. We know he can distribute power between his soldiers.
I like how Aizen lowkey telling Ywach who’s still the boss
What I love about the end of the fight is that Yuha didn’t even choose to use Yamamoto’s bankai he just took it and ended it with his own sword
I love the details Royd Loyd's arrow was down right pitiful compared to Yhwach real arrows, which as you said are swords.
This is not really a spoiler, but there are 2 sternritter Y's, they are twins. The one yamamoto fought had the ability to copy anyone's appearance and memories and the other one can copy someone's appearance, and strength. That was the one who transformed into Kenpachi and was one of the 3 who he killed
The fact that Royd could only copy the memories and appearance, and not the strength or power is still rather impressive given that he completely bodied Kenpachi, who had removed his eyepatch. Scary
Literally a spoiler
@@justhere6507 No? We literally saw them both already and both had the letter Y. It takes only a few brain cells to figure it out they're twins lmao
Tbh I did not read your comment fully because I did not want to get spoiled and the moment you said there are 2 I stopped reading we definitely didn’t see 2
@@justhere6507Not a spoiler dude. The anime completely skipped the explanation as to what their powers were so the comment gave the explanation
as soon as I saw the ep all I could think of was YOOOOOO THE ANIMATION
Royd was actually underrated asf for beating Kenpachi and basically taking all of Yama's bankai by himself. He may be fodder but Yhwach can be proud of him. Especially since he wasn't the twin with the better part of the ability
I don’t think you can classify anybody that takes out Kenpachi and survives a decent amount of time against Yama’s bankai fodder lol. If anything it shows how crazy the Sternritter are since he’s not even close to being the strongest
@@johkerx9107 Exactly. He wouldn't have been chosen to impersonate Yhwach if he was not strong.
Yhwach probably allocated enough power to Royd to fool Yhwach. We know he can distribute power between his soldiers.
@@odgarig8601 That's a spoiler. We don't know that at this point in the manga yet.
Only four people at this point of the show could defeat the fake ywach
A very cool detail in the anime is that we could see Yamamoto’s lieutenant fighting with him against Yhwach, even as a brief moment as a flashback at 7:30.
My mouth dropped twice this episode. Once because of Yamamoto's Bankai and the other for Yamamoto getting clapped. I have never had a physical and literal speechless mouth drop moment in an anime before. Big 3 Bleach is back baby!!!
Yamamoto didn't get claped he literally Got.... Well if you didnt read the manga i won't spoil it but Next episode We will have emotional damage 🥲

What do you think Ep 9 will cover? Those "5 guys" perhaps?
@@matheusbecker2351 Kenpachi Vs Kenpachi. Best sword fight in Bleach honestly between two beasts. I feel like Yoshihiro Kanno and Satoshi Sakai will work on ep 9 together... Shit would be dope ngl.

Respectfully hell yea lmao that fight is much better than Yama Vs Clone Yuha Baha. Yama's fight was more of a one sided flex rather than an actual fight but EPISODE 9 IS REAL FCKING COMBAT😭😭. Hopefully Kanno and Sakai pair up for that ep.
I like that you guys noted out that Unohana doesn’t seem affected by Zanka no Tachi. Well remember that and keep a lookout for her.
Yeah, and THAT training fight is coming up in a pretty short time.
@@theprogressivecynic2407 That's boutta be fire as well.
The quality of a good anime is to take something good in manga form and make it even better...Everything about Yamamoto's bankai in manga form was amazing, the anime made it legendary !! Well done studio, it was glorious animation !! At least we got to see it in action...
As anime only this adaptation has been fantastic, it gets better after every episode
How do you know the adaptation is fantastic when you do not know the source matterial(the manga)?....
I have waited so many years for this. I never thought it'd happen. It did not disappoint, that animation was literally fire.
That Bankai shot and smoke coming out ouf the blade was so cold
🥶🥶❄❄
Dope animation and really like that they capture the scenes nicely from the manga happily that everyone knowing that making this final arc really great
The strongest sternreitters haven't even appeared :). This gets insane.
They cut this, but in the manga Yamamoto thought they couldn't steal Ichigo's bankai because he had just recently acquired it so they didn't understand it yet. He thought that under that logic, his real bankai was safe.
The Balance has been in multiple scenes, and he's top 4.
@@theprogressivecynic2407 he means The Miracle i guess.. for me Strongest is The V and The M
@@MessZ V is actually objectively the strongest (even stronger then Yhwach before his awakening), but the user sucks ass, which balances him out heavily.

Love you guys reactions . You guys strap in because the fights to come are even more insane🔥🔥
I’ve been saying this plenty of times, Pierrot is rly up there with Mappa and Ufotable, when given a proper amount of time
Yamamoto is the goat man, you telling me we waited ten years and were only 6 episodes away from craziness like this? Wow.
Yamamoto is a whole other League
Great review guys Kubo came prepared and the turn of events in this episode was just amazing.
I was refreshing my feed over and over for you guy’s reaction! Finally!
A detail I love about this episode is when it starts raining after Yamamoto stops his bankai. Not only it's a logic thing to happen (all the water that evaporated is now coming back), but in case you didn't notice, rain always means despair in Bleach, as such, when it starts raining you just know things aren't gonna be alright.
Also, SPOILER in case them don't explain it in the next episode:
The Sternritter Y is actually 2 people, the twins Loyd and Royd. Them both have the ability to impersonate people but in a different way. Loyd (the one Kenpachi killed) copies the powers of the one he impersonate, while Royd (the on who fought Yamamoto) copies the memories and personality of the ones he impersonate.
Thanks for reacting to my favorite anime you guys are awesome I got to cry for a second time rip old man head captain Yama
Not sure about your schedule but I'm happy that I am seeing this reaction video before I go to sleep!
?
Ngl, this has to be the best animation studio pierrot has ever produced since the likes of naruto vs sasuke and naruto and sasuke vs momoshiki, the animation in this bleach episode was crazy, and its only episode 6.
I mean, they also did some fight in Black Clover after that, like the Yami and Asta vs Dante
The father of demon slayer has finally come, yamamoto was sick i'm speechless the animation was to crazy 🔥🔥🔥
Let em know....
You just saw how powerful Yama is.. the ONLY logical way to defeat him would be to outsmart him. Sure it’s lame that he faught a “fodder” enemy, but it makes sense for Yhwach to do what he did.
Royd is not fodder at all.Since I can only see 4 people beating him at this point
He wasn't a fodder at all.
Bazz-B, As Nodt, Nanana and sternritter O go one shooted by base/shikai Yamamoto, while he put up a "little" fight against Bankai Yamamoto (Even though he couldn't do anything, he still was stronger then other 4).
@@codebreak1884 People seem to think anyone who's beat is fodder...like you cant have a story if done that way. Dude could copy fight memory and 100s of years of experience...how is he fodder. He stood around in the flames...he's up there with those two that were willing to hold back yama back in soul society arc...he's powerful. Everyone looks weak around a demon.
@@nichescenes true
@@codebreak1884 I’m not calling him fodder. That’s literally what home boy in the video called him. “Cannon fodder” My comment was in response to his criticism at the end of the video.
And it's not finish , you gonna learn so many things and see so many amazing fights !! they did a really good job for the animation.
I don't know if you've noticed in the brief flashback when Yhwach was holding his arrow, you can see Chojiro standing in the back.
The despair in this season so far is very real
I have been waiting for y'all to get to this episode. I loved reading it in the manga.
Looking back at the end of the series, this battle will seem almost tame in comparison.
No this is definitely up there In most intense
Might be, but it will never be forgotten.
Yama’s bankai takes “just the tip” to a whole other level fr 👀😅😭😂🔥 lmao
First one here great reaction guys love you alls RUclips channel ❤R.i.P to Yamamoto god bless him he will be remembered great reaction ❤
The crazy part is Aizen not only knew Yhwach's name but he also knew of the Wandenreich too... bro was really 3 steps ahead of everyone before he got in his own way
Amazing ep!!! Next week is gonna be a GOOD one as well but for different reason. I can't wait to see the reaction and theories that you guys gonna have. 😁
Btw, 15 million Celsius is about 27 million Farenheit - the surface of our sun is around 10,000 Farenheit. The core of our sun is around 27 million Farenheit. :)
You both do such an amazing job
the imposter reacting surprised to what yama is doing, yet having the memories of seeing it, Kubo foreshadows different.
Finally we got to see yama’s bankai in action! It’s so surreal after all these years! 🔥
It's fucking weird, I promised myself I wouldn't die after I heard it might come back like 4 years ago.
You can go back to episode 5 and see that Kenpachi beat another stern Ritter Y, named Loyd LLoyd. The other one who disguised as Yhwach here was Royd LLoyd, hence the “R”.
Bro I read the manga and was still left speechless by this amazing episode! Yamamoto is that guy!
The REAL thousand years blood war starts now 🔥
Btw, the "R" Stands for 'Royd Lloyd' which is the Stern ritter. also if you dont remember, there is another one that can copy abilities which kenpachi faced and defeated.
When the title makes you hear stephans famous "THE ANIMATION!!" 😂
Waited for this all day 😂😂let’s go!!!
Its been over 10 years waiting for these manga chapters to come to life..although ik what the end is like but seeing old man Yami use his bankai was like wow I long for this..especially few other bankai to come 😅
There was cut content but it was explained in the Manga that the Loyd twins had the ability to copy other people. L of the Loyd twins "Loyd Loyd" can copy the power and appearance of others. He is the one that fought Kenpachi and died. R of the Loyd twins "Royd Loyd" can copy the personality and appearance of others. He turned into Yhwach with all his memories and fought Yamamoto.
*It feels so good to hear Aizen Sosuke voice, even not in the action yet. The lines i’ve been waiting from him is “Yokoso”*
If I recall correctly, Sternritter 'Y' is a set of identical twins. One of them, Loyd, had the ability to replicate the physical appearance and spiritual pressure of another person, he was one of the three Sternritter Kenpachi killed. The other, Royd, has the ability to replicate the physical appearance, memories, and personality of another person.
Yamamoto really out here going “just the tip sweetheart I promise”
*Aizen after the quincy king asks him to join him **12:52**: "What the hell.. ain't no way bro"*
This was cut off from the anime so i will explain. Loid Loid and Roid Loid are two different persons, they are twins who were born with similar abilities. Loid, the one zaraki kills, can copy someone's appearance and strenght, and Roid, the one yhwach kills, can copy someone's appearance and memories. So Roid was already a pretty strong dude to be able to beat zaraki no diff and fight toe to toe with yama
This episode was absolute perfection.
This animation is movie tier!! We all know yama was gonna get smoked but his send off was epic
there were 2 stenritters with "Y", both were twins - one took shape and abilities of their foe - and that one was killed by Kenpachi, his twins brother, had ability to take shape and memories of person they are imitating - that one was wounded by Yamamoto and finished by Yhwach
"It's up to the main character"
I laughed 😂😂
Just be ready. The next episode will be even better
Hahaha...hahahahahahahahahahehehehe...
Oh man. Most manga readers were looking forward to this episode. Me? I'm waiting for Born in the Dark. And the anime onlys reactions to it. OH MY GOD I'm looking forward to the blown minds and wtf faces when they see *THAT LINE*.
You know the one I'm talking about.
That Sternritter had the power to got anyone apparence and memories. So that is why he was really easy to defeat. I cannot believe Yamamoto lose. But That fight was amazing 😭
Great reaction. This episode is 11/10. Bleach is amazing!
Yamamoto's bankai is definetely my favorite one
Next episode gonna be cold AF 🥶
When you realize Zaraki got packed by a clone, damn
😂
You can only get Yamamoto by sealing his powers.
Y’all’s Aizen Reaction was was priceless 😂
Bleach is a masterpiece, ANIME OF THE YEARRRR
16:02 Loyd is Royd (Stern Ritter Y) twin brother that Kenpachi killed.
Btw one of the 3 sterriters that jump on Yamamoto is sterriter f, the one who annihilated byakuya. See the difference between head captain and a captain lol 😆
About Stern Ritter Y, basically there are 2 of them. The first one fought against Kenpachi (the one mimics Kenpachi) and died. The second is this one mimics the Quincy King.
Old Man Yama = 🐐
And that poem for next episode👀
There were two Sternritter Y 'Yourself', they were originaly simblings. One was defeated by Kenpachi, other took impersonation of Ywach and part of his powers. But he didn't just took that, he also can take memories and the way of thinking/acting. So the way Y was acting in fight against Yamamoto is how the real Ywach would act if he was weaker and couldn't steal bankai.
And as far as I remember Ywach is absorbing the power and knowledge of his dead quincies.
"Aizen, come work for me."
"No."
Absolute Chad.
Zanka no Tachi is one of the best Bankai👌 So glad it was finally animated and it didn't disappoint! I'm just mad that he used it on a wrong opponent. He was prank😭
Yamamotos bankai is the most strongest zanpakuto of the soul society because of his special abilities. His bankai resembles a compass based on his the techniques of his bankai. His bankai is almost the same temperature as the sun itself but hotter.
It is said that yamamotos bankai is to be a powerful zanpakuto because of how he first used his bankai against yhwach 1000 years ago. That was my theory as a Manga fan.
This is too much HEAT! 🔥🔥🔥🥵
i can't believe this animation.. they go out here
This was amazing. More is coming.
Ufff Yamamoto's bankai is amazing. I love you Yamaji!
The Y “Yourself” are twins Royd Lloyd (fought Kenpachi and Yamamoto) and Loyd Lloyd (killed by Kenpachi) alongside Bernice “The Question” and Jerome “The Roar”.
The twin who could mimic the appearance and strength was the one that Kenpachi killed
The one Yamamoto was fighting could only replicate someone’s appearance and memories meaning that guy was just THAT strong to body Kenpachi with ease. Which should tell you exactly how much more powerful Yhwach is
No one has noticed that when Yama pulls out his bankai, the background sound effect was a gas oven 🤯🤯. It was freaking epic 🤩🤩!!! Btw “R” was the sternritter that kenpachi killed. “Y” was his brother.
The animation literally rivaled the the current trend animation studios like mappa, ufotable etc. Thank you studio periot for going all out!!! In fact bleach is doing cour breaks, meaning the future seasons going to be even more crazier!!!! Holy what a movie quality episode
*Sternritter Y:-The Yourself "Loyd Lloyd" Powers:-Appearance/Power Mimicry*
&
*Sternritter Y:-The Yourself "Royd Lloyd" Powers:-Appearance/Personality & Memory Mimicry*
The guy Yamamoto fought was Ryod his ability is called the Yourself he has a twin Lyod who Kenpachi killed last episode same ability
the worst part isn't that yhwach has yama's bankai, but that he can now USE it. think about that for a moment.
The way Yamamoto pronounces Yhwach is one of the reasons it was harder to transliterate/translate at first. Japanese dislikes ending on consonants, so even if a character's name is, say, the Western name Judith, it'd be "Judithuh" or some other similar version.
it's not just about ending in consonants, other than "n" pretty much all their consonants are followed by a vowel all the time so they have a hard time pronouncing any words that lack a vowel after a consonant. even with the letter x for example they pronounce it something like "ecusu". if you look up japanese words borrowed from english you'll notice this much more: SUpun-SPoon, weBUSaito- weBSite, teSUto-teST, sanGUrasu-sunGLasses
Yeah. Yhwach is basically a really jacked spelling of the Tetragrammaton, JHVH. They pronounce Yhwach basically the way a Japanese person would pronounce JHVH, since the letter V becomes a B.
Basically, what Bleach is trying to say, is that Yhwach is named after Jesus.
@@ASNS117Zero This is so hilariously a mix of correct and wrong. The Tetragrammaton is YHVH. Yud, hay, vuv, hay (Hebrew letters). It's what remains of the "real" name for God from the Jewish temple in Israel. Hebrew is a language of mostly consonants and the exact pronunciation is lost. Though he is based on Jesus in some aspects due to [SPOILERS], the Y as a J is a Romanization of the original consonant, which is a Y. Hebrew has no Js. The fact his name is derived from the Tetragrammaton is not an indication he is based on Jesus.
@@goldenthyme13 It depends on the religion and the translation in question. There are a LOT of Christians that use JHVH instead of YHWH or YHVH. Given that it's a translation, that is, Hebrew to Greek to English I believe is the most direct path most translations took, though Aramiac and Egyption may have been in there too at some point or another if I'm not mistaken. I'm not currently up to snuff about the language course the Christian bible took over the past 2000 years, but the point is, neither is really more correct than the other unless we're specifically talking about the version used in hebrew, which we're not, given that both of us are using English, and there's no real reason to immediately think about the hebrew version for almost all people thinking about it since Yhwach and the Quincy are obviously based on Christianity and not Judaism. (Anyone reading this conversation that isn't a manga reader, for the love of cake stop now)
.
.
.
I'm pretty confident given all the allegorical connections Yhwach makes to Jesus throughout TYBW, what with the whole son of god metaphor (Son of the Soul King), the worship of the quincy for him as their god, his story literally starting from him being a sacred child, the near CONSTANT use of crucifix imagery in the Quincy in general and on Yhwach himself, that he's at least an expy for Christ in the narrative.
Not sure why Kubo didn't just go all the way and say Yhwach was Christ, he might as well have, guess he didn't have the stomach for it. It's not like Japan cares about that, but by the time TYBW was being written, Bleach *was* pretty big overseas, so maybe some author self-censorship was at play. Or maybe not, who knows? Might have been another thing like the number 69 and Kubo wanting to mess with the parents of the kids who read his manga.
@@ASNS117Zero Media mixes the Abrahamic religions into each other all thr time. We have no more proof that his name is based on a bastardized version of YHVH than we have proof that Kubo didn't just mix Judaism and Christianity.
I couldn't care less what Christians use because it is not their term. It is YHVH, and JHVH is not something I've known anyone to use, outside of Jehovah Witnesses. Y is commonly Romanized as J (see Yakov --> Jacob). The term is YHVH.
Loyd Loyd takes on other people's powers. Royd Loyd takes on their memories and personality. Royd beat Kenpachi with his own power. They're twin brothers, both of them with a different variation of the same schrift.
The "Y - Yourself" is the ability of Royd Lloyd and he copies ones appereance, personality and memories. That's the reason why Royd was so convincing and fooled Yamamoto, because he had the personality and memories of Yhwach. He is actually really strong, considering how he was able to stand against Yama's Bankai for so long. It was also his own Power that beat Zaraki. His Twin Loyd Lloyd was the one Kenpachi fought and died in Ep5
It's a bit confusing with their names and powers, hopefully this clears up some misunderstandings
To clear up the confusion with stern Ritter Y: Y was two people, identical twins, Loyd and Royd. Loyd could copy appearances and power while Royd could copy appearances and memories. I'm assuming the anime skipped this to animate the meeting with Aizen, since it's never shown in the manga
As someone who has read the Manga. Stern Ritter Y (Royd Lloyd) is exceptional, I won't say anything, hopefully we will see their back story in the upcoming episode... If they add it but I'm sure you noticed that Zaraki already killed Stern Ritter Y. But if you look at the body of the individual that kenpachi defeated and the one defeated by Yamamoto. They are identical in appearance. I'm sure that you are already smart enough to understand what this means. That The Scrift Y, has two users who are both twins. Why it comes to Royd Lloyd. He was chosen for the task specifically by his majesty because of his incredible strength. Also due to his Scrifts ability copy someone's appearance and to see their memories, this was obviously clear to the viewer, as Royd Lloyd clearly recognized the faces of Yhwach's former comrades from a thousand years ago, despite him not being alive during that time (As Zaraki stated his twin, Lloyd Lloyd, had the ability to copy someone's appearance and powers, however he was limited due to the fact that once he copied someone at a certain power level all that person had to do was increase their level to overpower him). I personally rank him as one of the strongest Stern Ritter, based on the sole fact that a lot of what we saw in the fight was simply him using his Quincy techniques to face Yamamoto and Kenpachi.. Sankt Alter, Blut Vene, his reshi bow are techniques that all Quincy's given the proper training and vitality can use.(it does not mention anything in the manga however I believe that the sword he was using was probably a replica that was made of the sword that Yhwach used against Yama a thousand years ago, as he seemed to be familiar with the weapon "You've finally drawn it" ) He was able to defeat kenpachi (eyepatch on) with his base strength, that in itself is a truly incredible feat of strength and skill he didn't seem to have a mark on him. He was able to hold off head captain Yamamoto for a time(not physically, just for time, but surviving against the man well he's in that state is extremely commendable), at points even attempting to land blows on him. However I think his truest strength lies within what he was able to accomplish. He truly did trick Yamamoto he had no idea that the individual standing before him was not his nemesis and that truly cost him as you saw. Anyway I hope that cleared up any confusion you guys might have had. By the way this answer is just based on analyzing what we have seen in the anime not on any spoilers from the manga.
