Lille Barro is a powerful Quincy with a dark complexion and a tall build, standing out due to a unique X-shaped mark on his closed left eye. He’s known as the leader of Yhwach’s Schutzstaffel and calls himself the “Emperor’s greatest masterpiece” and “the man closest to God.” Lille’s main power, The X-Axis, lets him shoot through anything without missing, and he’s almost impossible to harm when using his true strength. His arrogant attitude and belief in his invincibility set him apart among the Quincy, and his intense battles with major characters like Kyoraku Shunsui highlight his deadly abilities and dramatic downfall.
Lille Barro is a tall man with a height of 182 cm.
He has a dark brown skin tone.
His most noticeable feature is the X-shaped scar across his closed left eye, which looks like an eye patch inside a circle.
He wears typical Sternritter clothing but stands out because he always looks confident and calm.
During his Quincy Vollständig form, Lille becomes covered in glowing, star-like armor with eight wings, each with three holes.
His appearance turns even more monstrous after losing his halo, when his body splits into many birdlike monsters, all marked with strange holes.
Lille speaks in a slightly childish way, calling himself “boku.”
He is very confident, proud, and arrogant.
He truly believes he is Yhwach’s greatest creation and the man closest to God.
He looks down on enemies and often taunts them, enjoying their frustration.
Lille always trusts his own strength, often “handicapping” himself out of pride.
Even when things don’t go as he planned, he refuses to admit his mistakes until the very end.
Lille Barro is a member of the Sternritter, serving in the Wandenreich.
He leads Yhwach’s Schutzstaffel, or royal guard.
He says he was the first Sternritter to receive power from Yhwach, meaning he’s fought and survived the longest among them.
Lille carries a large Quincy rifle called Diagram and has the Schrift “X” for X-Axis.
He is chosen as leader of the guard because the other members aren’t suited for leadership.
Lille’s Schrift is X, standing for The X-Axis.
His main weapon is a huge rifle called Diagram.
The X-Axis can pierce anything in a straight line—no armor, no sword, and no shield can block it.
He doesn’t fire a bullet. Instead, anything in the rifle’s straight line will get pierced instantly, with no hope of dodging.
His attacks end the moment he pulls the trigger, making escape almost impossible.
When both eyes are open, Lille can also make his body intangible—attacks pass through him, making him invincible for short moments.
If he opens his left eye three times in battle, he can keep this state for longer.
Quincy Vollständig: God’s Judgement (Jilliel)
After receiving more power from Yhwach, Lille transforms.
His X mark becomes a star, and he is wrapped in shining armor, complete with a large halo and eight wings.
He can fire many X-Axis shots at once from the holes in his wings.
He also gains the ability to teleport and is very hard to kill, even growing a new birdlike head after being decapitated.
He can change his face and move his eyes for an even wider range of sight.
After losing his halo and falling to Soul Society, Lille splits into bird-shaped monsters, all focused on spreading destruction.
- “The losing side in battle is always slower to understand, always slower to react.”
- “Have you ever seen anyone who wasn’t defeated instantly before us?”
- “This is not extra power, but my true, original strength.”
- “Line up, so I can kill all of you with one shot.”
- “All living things die when separated from the group. I just wait for you to drift away one by one.”
- “Every beautiful order I’ve seen was destroyed by the foolish actions of only one idiot.”
- “It may be dark, but ‘hopeless’ is an exaggeration. God’s messengers do not despair.”
- “My eyes are drying out. Staring at sinful beings makes them dry out even more.”
- “I don’t totally understand what you’re saying, but being called God doesn’t feel so bad.”
- “Are you going to cut me down with that sword? Try it! There’s no sword that can cut me...”
- “God’s messengers do not make the same mistake twice!”
- “Oh, right, you said you could reflect God’s power… That’s sinful, really sinful.”
- “It hurts, it hurts, it hurts so much…”
- “The halo is gone. Falling from the heavens, losing my halo… it’s as if I’m the true sinner.”
- “I will never forgive you, Kyoraku Shunsui!”
- “Even if you die, I won’t forgive you!!! Even if I lost my halo and God’s power… It’s enough!!! I’ll trample Soul Society into mud—God’s power is not needed!!!”
- “What are you? Who are you?!”
Attack on the Royal Palace
Lille Barro enters the Royal Palace with Yhwach and the other Schutzstaffel members.
He surprises and kills Senjumaru Shutara by shooting her in the head, also shooting down the Royal Guard’s castles.
But this Shutara was only an illusion.
Lille’s gunfire cannot break through Kirio Hikifune’s giant tree prison, and he loses his arm and the fight to Ouetsu Nimaiya.
Resurrection and True Power
After Yhwach uses his Auswählen power, Lille and the other Schutzstaffel are revived and made stronger.
Lille, claiming he never had the chance before, now uses the true power of the X-Axis.
He pierces Ouetsu Nimaiya and helps defeat the Royal Guard.
Battle at the Soul King Palace
When Soul Society’s forces attack the new castle, Lille notices the scattered Shinigami right away.
He snipes from above and takes out Vice-Captains like Shuhei Hisagi.
He keeps picking off enemies one by one until Kyoraku Shunsui arrives to stop him.
Fight with Kyoraku Shunsui
Lille and Kyoraku battle fiercely.
Kyoraku’s tricky swordplay confuses Lille at first, but after opening his left eye three times, Lille goes into his complete form.
He becomes even stronger and nearly finishes Kyoraku off by making himself intangible.
But Kyoraku uses his Bankai and cuts off Lille’s head, seemingly defeating him.
Lille’s Monstrous Resurrection and Final Defeat
Yet Lille doesn’t die—he comes back in a monstrous, birdlike form.
He stabs Kyoraku, almost killing him.
Kyoraku and Nanao Ise work together: Nanao grabs the divine sword Hakkyouken, which reflects God’s power.
Lille dismisses her attack but loses his arm, and when his own power is reflected back, his body is split and scattered over Soul Society as shooting stars.
Rampage as Monster
Even then, Lille’s energy turns into many giant bird monsters, attacking Soul Society out of hatred.
He fights the now-resurrected Kira, but after this the story does not show what happens to him.
In the Bleach: Can’t Fear Your Own World novel, it’s said the entire Schutzstaffel—Lille included—was wiped out for good.
Lille loves to boast, often limiting himself in battle to show off his confidence.
His X-Axis power was first misprinted as “Pierce All Stone” in the magazine.
His name, fighting style, and some quotes hint that he may be from Spain or nearby, since he uses the Spanish phrase “Chocolate Ingles,” the local version of “Red Light, Green Light.”
There are many fan theories about his real nature.
Some think Lille was originally a bird-type Hollow that Yhwach transformed into a Quincy, because of his monster forms and all the holes on his wings and body.
His voice actor is married to the actress who voices Chizuru Honshou.
In the anime, his “monstrous” voice change was achieved without electronic tricks, just acting.
