James

James is very short, with a height of 92 cm.

He is bald and wears glasses, giving him a unique look.

James always carries a gong in his hand.

James acts as a loyal supporter and helper to Mask De Masculine.

He calls Mask De Masculine "Mister" and cheers for him, showing his devotion.

James never hesitates to help Mask De Masculine, even putting himself in danger.

He has a strong and strange sense of motivation, never feeling sad when hurt or cut up.

James is a Quincy and a member of the Sternritter group.

He hides his true role, acting as Mask De Masculine’s assistant.

People first thought "James" was just the helper, but it was later revealed that James is the true Sternritter with the "S" Schrift.

Mask De Masculine is actually a creation of James's powers.

The Superstar

James has the "S" Schrift skill called "The Superstar."

This power lets James imagine and create his ideal superhero as a real, fighting partner.

Mask De Masculine is the result of this ability.

James can make Mask De Masculine stronger and heal him by cheering.

Immortality and Regeneration

James cannot fight well but has scary life energy.

He can survive being split into two or cut into small pieces.

If Mask De Masculine calls for him, James can come back to life, even from chopped body parts.

Sometimes, each piece of James turns into a new James, making even more of him.

This happens even if he is completely chopped up, making him almost like a horror movie character.

Shared Life Link

As long as one of them is alive, the other can always come back after some time.

If Mask De Masculine dies, James goes with him, and vice versa.

James and Mask De Masculine share a very special bond.

Mask De Masculine only exists because of James’s ability.

Their lives and powers are tightly linked; if one is alive, the other will return.

Yhwach, their leader, recognized James’s death and commented on their strange relationship.

First Invasion

Second Invasion & Battles

James appears with Mask De Masculine during the second invasion.

He cheers on Mask De Masculine during fights with Soul Reapers, helping him get stronger.

During the fight against Renji Abarai, Mask De Masculine is badly hurt.

James cheers him on, allowing Mask De Masculine to revive and gain power-ups.

The Horror of Many James

After being chopped up by Renji, James turns into many more James clones, shocking everyone.

All these Jameses shout support for Mask De Masculine, boosting him again.

Final Showdown

James is accidentally destroyed when Mask De Masculine uses his ultimate move, "Star Flash Supernova," but Mask De Masculine doesn't feel sorry because he knows James will revive if he is still alive.

True Identity Reveal

After their defeat, Yhwach talks about James’s death, making fans question who the real person was.

It’s later confirmed in official Q&As: James is the true holder of the "S" Schrift and real Quincy, with Mask De Masculine being just a creation of James's power.

• James’s main role is to support Mask De Masculine, but he is actually the real powerhouse.
• When cut up, James multiplies instead of dying—a detail that makes battles with him very bizarre for enemies.
• The idea for James’s "ideal superstar" may have come from another Quincy, Gerard Valkyrie, as shown in some animations and opening sequences.
• Some fans think James’s power is like a weaker version of Gremmy Thoumeaux, who can turn imagination into reality.

"Don’t worry, James! As long as I’m alive, you’ll come back too! The Star and his Fan are one!"
