I should add Mangy that the "Spriggan 13" as you call them are like the first generation of the Gotei 13, and we all know how strong they were in the Bleach series.

According to Shunsui (thank god he's Head Captain XP), they were considered the strongest. To Yhwach's recollection, they were dubbed as "monsters"; this would understandable since you have people of Unohana & Old Man Yama in their ranks. I mean for Christ's sake, it's basically the same here.

I'm praying to the gods of anime & manga that Hiro doesn't screw them over the same way he did Mard. In the words of TFS Frieza, I'll be "Absolutely Livid!"
