A short recap of Bleach TYBW part 2 episode 7

The episode started off with Yachiru and Isane having a hard time dealing with the Sternritter, Guenael Lee's Schrift Vanishing Point that erased his existence from the sight and minds of his opponents. However, the 11th Division Lieutenant, Yachiru Kusajichi's instincts helped her deal with the Quincy's power.

Eventually, she released her Shikai, Sanpo Keijun, and severely injured the Quincy. The episode then introduced the Sternritter 'V' Visionary, Gremmy Thoumeaux. It was revealed that Guenael Lee was nothing but a figment of his imagination. Since he couldn't see a future with the Quincy anymore, the latter disintegrated.

Gremmy's Schrift visionary allowed him to manifest anything he imagined, and as a result, he turned Yachiru's bones into cookies. Just at that time, Kenpachi Zaraki made a grand entry and took over the battle.

The yellow-haired Sternritter proclaimed himself as the strongest Sternritter and materialized various things with the power of his imagination to combat Zaraki. However, the 11th Division Captain, Kenpachi Zaraki remained unfazed.

To turn the tide of the battle, Gremmy created his clones with his Visionary powers and imagined a meteorite striking the Seireitei. The thought of cutting down a meteor exhilarated Zaraki, as he released his Shikai Nozarashi with the release command Nome (Drink).

Zaraki then obliterated the meteor in a single cleave and shocked Gremmy. The Sternritter then materialized a void of space with his imagination and cast Zaraki into it. However, even that failed against the monstrous strength and stamina of Zaraki. In Gremmy's eyes and mind, he appeared as a monster.

To combat such a monster, the Sternritter imagined a power greater than that of Zaraki. However, Gremmy couldn't imagine a body that could contain such power, and as a result, he self-destructed.

The episode ended with the Sternritter's body disintegrating, leaving only his brain behind. It has to be mentioned that the brain was actually the real part of Gremmy, and his entire body was also his 'Imagination'.
