Boss Timers and Locations
VV: Ultimatum's rotating world bosses spawn at :20 past the hour EST - Junichiro and The Parasite on even hours, and The Northern Army, the Quincy Commander and the Masked Warrior on odd hours.
VV: Ultimatum runs its scheduled world bosses on an alternating hourly clock. On every even hour at :20 EST (2:20, 4:20, and so on), Junichiro appears in Hueco Mundo and The Parasite appears in the Human World. On every odd hour at :20 EST (1:20, 3:20, and so on), three bosses spawn: The Northern Army and the Quincy Commander in the Arctic Plains, and the Masked Warrior in the Soul Society Outskirts.
In practice this means at least one scheduled boss window opens every hour, and the odd-hour window is the busiest with three simultaneous spawns across two regions. Since the Arctic Plains hosts two odd-hour bosses at once, groups often split between the Northern Army commanders and the Quincy Commander during that window.
A few other bosses run on their own local timers instead of the hourly schedule: The Crocodile King respawns on his throne in the marsh roughly every 5 minutes, Nix has a documented respawn timer of 7 minutes 30 seconds, and Calamitas is not on a timer at all - it is summoned at the Hueco Mundo ritual site using Ritual Oil, with a cooldown of roughly 5 minutes between summons.
