Over a thousand years ago in Licht Reich, young Quincies Bazzard "Bazz-B" Black and Jugram "Jugo" Haschwalth live in the rurals. Though Jugo is unable to absorb Reishi or form a Heilig Bogen, Bazz-B is highly talented.

The two bond through hunting, with Bazz-B for training and Jugo for food. Their lives change when Yhwach and his forces destroy their homes and kill their families, leaving the boys orphaned.

For the next five years, they train in the wilderness, with Jugo learning swordsmanship to make up for his lack of Quincy abilities. During a visit to town, they encounter Yhwach's soldiers, who are recruiting young Quincies for the Stern Ritter to prepare for war against the Soul Society. When they try to enlist and are dismissed, Bazz-B challenges one of the soldiers.

Yhwach suddenly arrives, overwhelming everyone with his spiritual pressure, except for Jugo, who remains standing. Yhwach declares Jugo to be just like him: a Balance Quincy, who cannot form power but distributes it to others and later reclaims it. Bazz-B tries to attack Yhwach, but Jugo deflects it, revealing the bond between them has already begun to fracture.

Three years later, Haschwalth becomes the Stern Ritter's commander, while Bazz-B joins as a soldier. Bazz-B continually challenges him to duels, hoping to one day rise up together against Yhwach.

Back in the present, during Yhwach's slumber, Bazz-B attacks Haschwalth with his full power, aiming to end Yhwach's influence on him. However, Haschwalth coldly defeats and kills his former friend.
