For Renji Abarai now, he would rather have his Bankai taken during his battle with As Nodt, allowing Captain Kuchiki to use his Bankai to kill As Nodt, than be drowned by the fear of being abandoned by Rukia.
After activating his Bankai, Renji Abarai's reiatsu erupted from his entire body, and crimson reiatsu burst forth from each of Sōōmaru's bones.
The reiatsu spread from Renji Abarai's hands all the way into Sōōmaru's serpentine skull, ultimately gathering within its head.
"Baboon Bone Cannon!"
Renji Abarai let out a thunderous roar as the immense reiatsu gathered by the Baboon Bone Cannon blasted toward As Nodt.
"Clink!"
Facing Renji Abarai's attack, As Nodt flicked up a circular five-pointed star badge in his hand.
It was the "Schrift" possessed by members of the Sternritter, capable of stealing a Soul Reaper's Bankai.
Since he had already defied His Majesty Yhwach's order, As Nodt naturally would not allow a Soul Reaper who had activated Bankai to attack him.

By the time the Schrift fell from the air, Renji Abarai's Bankai had already been stolen by As Nodt's Schrift.
"Heh heh, you fell for it, Quincy."

"Captain Kuchiki, I'm counting on you now!"
With Renji Abarai's Bankai stolen, he had virtually no ability to resist As Nodt, who had already activated his Quincy Vollständig.
