Jerome Guizbatt (ジェローム・ギズバット, Jerōmu Gizubatto) is a Quincy and member of the Vandenreich's Stern Ritter with the designation "R".^[1]

Appearance

Jerome is a man of enormous proportions, far larger and more muscular than the average person, with a dark complexion and light-colored hair arranged into cornrows. He exhibits numerous ape-like characteristics, possessing pronounced upper-canines and sharpened fingernails, and patches of dark hair along his forearms and fingers.^[2] His attire is a variation upon the Stern Ritter's typical white uniform, consisting of the order's signature hooded-cloak and a trench coat, as well as pants and a pair of trench boots.^[3]

Plot

The Thousand-Year Blood War

Upon receiving the orders of Yhwach, he and the other Stern Ritter gather at the Gate of the Sun, before traveling to the Seireitei to participate in the destruction of the Soul Society.^[4]

Once there, he and the others create pillars of blue flame prior to engaging the Shinigami in battle.^[5] Shortly afterwards, Jerome is one of three Stern Ritter who confront Captain Kenpachi Zaraki during the invasion's initial stages. However, according to Zaraki's account, despite attempting to use his ability, Jerome is easily and fatally cut right down the middle. Zaraki later impales and carries Jerome's corpse atop his shoulders, along with two other Stern Ritter, before unceremoniously dropping them in front of Yhwach.^[3]

Powers & Abilities

The Roar (咆哮 (ザ・ロア), Za Roa): After greatly enlarging his already considerable size and adopting a more feral ape-like form, Jerome can drastically amplify the force of his roars in order to produce a strong, sound-based shockwave that he can attack opponents with. This shockwave is strong enough to, at close range, mutilate or even kill lower-ranked Shinigami.^[1]

Trivia

• When first observed, Jerome had a light complexion and dark hair on his head,^[2] rather than the dark skin tone and light-colored hair that he displayed in later appearances.^[3]
