How would you personally rank the different Gotei 13 captains in BLEACH?

[@SasukeY2JItachi]

I'm sorry but Kensei should only be above Iba, Isani, and maybe Lisa. His fighting style and his appearance character design wise is cool but the dude sucks he's not fast like the second squad captain so there's no way he is beating her he doesn't have the best techniques or anything to compensate for his super close range fighting style which is why every battle we have seen him in he has lost and didn't even put up a good showing for someone of his caliber being a captain Soi Fong being able to keep up with and put up a decent fight against the former second division captain I don't know how to spell her name is a better showing than anything he has ever done not to mention him fighting against the second espada would have been way worse and more humiliating than Soi Fong .

[@Leopez02]

The Original Gotei 13 Captains, other past captains, ZSquad Zero and the normal captains in Bleach Anime before TYBW are the strongest ones and in TYBW Vaizards they are stong of corse, but the weakest captains in my opinion. Would you make a tier-list video about of Bleach Liutnentas Ranked weakest to strongest next pls? 😊❤

[@SasukeY2JItachi]

So I love your videos but I'm going to disagree with you greatly on this list You mentioned a bunch of weaknesses and drawbacks of several characters like shinji and how his Bankai works, The former kenpachi with his 6-month cooling period as well as Rose being his own worst enemy by being dramatic yet you put Toshio over Byakuya and Yuroichi? You are aware that in order for him to use his full power and his matured Bankai he needs to be completely exhausted right? That is probably the biggest drawback on this list because as powerful as they are he would never make it to being exhausted they would defeat him long before he got to use his mature bun guy especially Byakuya who now knows how it works after seeing it in the final arc additionally they are way more skilled and experienced than he is overall this list is okay but there are several defects some characters you gave more leeway while some you kind of piled on with the reasons as to why they are ranked low without doing the same thing for others.

[@SasukeY2JItachi]

Additionally if we are to take the second squad captain who was able to almost keep up in speed with the previous second squad captain during the soul society arc we can say that the current 2nd division captain is much faster than the 10th division captain that being said what are the chances of him surviving fighting her with His Bankai vs her Shiki and flash cry? They have comparable spiritual pressure there will be no way he would ever make it to his mature Bankai fighting against her he would lose.

[@seanc7990]

Unohana was quite literally a weaker Kenpachi who could only heal as her only other skill. She was the only one who could bring out Kenpachis true strength without him AND her dying until it was done. She fulfilled her role. The only loss is having someone there who could heal more soldiers. But otherwise the fighting strength would have just been weaker.

I don’t think people realize how impressive yorouichi, Ishin and Urahara are. While Kyoraku got speed blitzed by base Aizen, an evolved Aizen admitted that the three of them would have beat him with their combined attack if he wasn’t fused with the hogyoku.

​​​@_Ghost_HD_ aizen did not used kyoya suigetsu because he thought that urahara already might have counter for kyoka suigetsu so it would be pointless to use it against him. and urahara knew weakness of ks that it will not affect you if you dont see his shikai release

[@cans597]

What you don’t realize is that Shunsui got defeated easy because Aizen used Kyoka Suigetsu against him, and you are also forgetting Shunsui was already drained and hurt from his fight with Starrk, the Primera Espada, and he also couldn’t use his Bankai in there. Had Aizen used Kyoka Suigetsu against Yoruichi or Isshin they would’ve been blitzed same as others, he didn’t use it against them for two reasons that were already mentioned by others in here: (1) he was testing his early Hyogoku powers and (2) Kisuke could’ve prepared a counter against it. Your analysis is flawed in gauging the accurate character’s strength because it were two completely different scenarios, and you also omitted some facts in there.

[@AnikkumarBhoi]

@@cans597 shunsui easily defeated stark. he was dumb to attack aizen again and again without thinking about kyoka suigetsu, which proves his less battle iq and iq. His bankai would be useless against aizen because he is immortal, which is the same reason why urahara didn't used his bankai against aizen i agree shunsui is one of strongest shinigami but he can't defeat tricky peoples like aizen, urahara, mayuri , shinji.

[@juniperjahir38]

Isane should honestly be higher than Iba; Iba himself stated he wasn’t captain material while Isane performed her divisions specialty in healing especially in TYBW taking command after Unohana’s death and keep Kensei/Rose alive and some other healing demonstrations; we recently got confirmation of Isane’s Shikai “Itegumo” to be an ice/snow type zanpakutō with a healing ability while we know nothing about Iba’s shikai; also it was stated that Iba couldn’t become the lieutenant of squad 11 and so he changed squads to squad 7 and he had a draw with Ikkaku who lost to a significantly weaker Ichigo; Isane got one shot by Ichigo; however, Ichigo was strong enough to destroy Getsuburi and also one shot Sasakibe who was stated to have been captain level already; either ways both don’t have any battle contribution but Isane has just demonstrated more than him

[@corruptangel6793]

Yeah, Iba said that, but he's also very hard on himself, so it's difficult to say if that's true or not. Chojiro was never Captain level. His Bankai was what was special and gave him the capacity to step up and become a Captain if he wanted, but he obviously never did. Chojiro is like Arrancar Arc Renji in that he's Vice-Captain level but with 2,000 years to perfect said Bankai.

[@oilalalabla9211]

Why getting a draw agasint ikkaku would be an antifeat tho? If anything it proves hes better. Wasnt ikkaku literally captain level? He was being considered to substitute and had a Bankai before any of them. And ikkaku also complimented him saying he was versatile knew a bunch of abilties etc

I respect the list but without much bias, i think Byakuya should be either right below or in Toushirou's spot theres a reason he's in line to be the next head captain and while his manga showings have him needing help with the strongest of enemies, hes probably one of the only captains in or rather should be in top 10 that doesnt have a single thing in the line of being over powered, hes skill incarnate, no hacks or broken abilities in the slightest and can more than hold his own.

[@mikhilpatel8680]

Yh he doesn't get his spotlight but i would bet my money on ukitake being stronger. Byakya's cards have been layed on the table from near the beginning, ukitake's bankai is still an mystery. His shikai is also one of the most intersting types, as seen with hims battle against stark. I would say that he is better, just that he is ill so he can't show it much. Also he was trained with shunshui, they must be near about equalish in strength imo since they go hand in hand and have compatibility with one another. Also he is the only other duel bladed zanpakto, he's definately a rare one and has a lot of potential, especially with the way he 'died'

I'm sure that with a little more tutoring and training by Yoruichi, Soifon may be able to shine in the future. Yoruichi will also teach Soifon more humility and patience, she's already made strides to disarm the extremely cruel and dehumanizing effects of Squad 2 training to moderate her personality.

[@TeguhNugrahaPratama]

I hate how Kubo treat Soifon. She has pretty badass shikai ability. But Kubo using Aizen make her ability obsolete. She at first admitted that she doesn't like her bankai, because it's not fit to her style of fight, and then she keeps spamming bankai after that like she is Hitsugaya lol. She should fight more like her mentor and using her strength.

[@bishopofeternity48]

I disagree. Her Bankai fits her perfectly. Consider this, Soifon has a two hit kill technique and as far as I remember has never cast a bakudo to take advantage of this. Instead she increases her speed so she can hit you twice in the same spot. Part of that is because if her infatuation? with Yoruichi but the rest is an ego thing. Her having a loud, destructive Bankai simply reveals her true nature.

Soifon definitely deserves to be above at least all the visord captains( beyond Shinji). Her strength often gets overlooked due to constantly being matched up against people who counter her abilities perfectly but realistically that just goes to show how lethal her arsenal is, she could've killed Barragan with her Bankai if he didn't age it in time, she could've killed BG9 with her shikai and Shunko if he wasn't made of steel and she was pretty much on par with a SS arc Yoruichi before they whipped out their trumps. Soifon is lethal and I see her as a bigger threat than the likes of Kensei and Love with the majority of opponents( Rose is more debateable seeing as his bankai is just that good).

[@corruptangel6793]

Soi-Fon could have obliterated BG9 with just Shunko but only if she had let BG9 kill Omeada and his sister. If she'd gone for the head rather than catch all those bullets and then destroy his gun, BG9 would have died then and there. Ironically, she got messed up so bad because she ignored the code of the Stealth Force and saved her subordinate rather than use that opening to eliminate the enemy

[@doginababyseat5127]

@@corruptangel6793I’m a huge Soi Fon fan, but it’s debatable if she could one shot BG9 if she went for the head. He’s a robot after all and was able to move around with a massive hole in his chest and head. So even if she was able to rip his head off or twist it 180 degrees, he might just be able to survive it regardless. The 180 head twist I’m almost certain. Ripping the head off is another questionable thing. He was able to take a direct punch to the face with no visible damage. Even if she could, it wouldn’t surprise me if he just picked it up off the ground with his probes and reattach it somehow.

Soifon above Shinji is wild. I am a Shinji stan for a reason. Soifon couldn't do a single thing alone. Shinji could've taken out Grimmjow, who's a rank 6 espada. Grimmjow was struggling with masked Shinji. Sure, he hadn't activated his Resureccion but Shinji hadn't even activated Shikai, let alone Bankai if he needed to fight multiple arrancar alone. Shinji could theoretically fight all 10 espada at once or at least the top 3 since Stark would slaughter the other two under Shinji's Bankai. Shinji has only lost to Shikai Aizen and bambietta due to it being a bad matchup and Shinji unable to use Bankai around other Shinigami AND not using a mask.

Disagreed with Soi Fon being that low. In ss arc she was able to constantly tag Yoruichi, the same Yoruichi who's faster than Byakuya while she was carrying Ichigo. Yoruichi was capable of piercing Ichigo's stomach with her hand, Ichigo was stated to have captain lvl reiatsu by Ukitake. She was able to hold her own against Baraggan despite having a disadvantage, Baraggan being able to slow things down that get near him and make them age, putting Soi Fon at the disadvantage in the fight especially considering that she's a close ranged fighter, and making her shikai useless against Baraggan. She was able to damage Baraggan with her bankai while having some help in the fight with Hachigen (forcing Baraggan to take her bankai head on) She gets another unfair fight against BG9, BG9 being able to get tagged from her shikai without actually getting affected by it. I believe Soi Fon did speedblitz BG9 during the second fight, but he's just too durable

It would not have done her any good vs many of her opponents TBH since they were either immune to shikai/kido or they were fast enough to dodge Bakudo (Yorucihi).

[@bishopofeternity48]

@DiamonDust Actually forgot about that. That actually makes it worse, though, since she CAN cast it but chooses not to. Even a second or two can basically guarantee her two hit kill against non broken characters. As for shunko, while it is a kido based technique, it still primarily enhances her physical capabilities more than anything, which just enhances her ego based fighting style. Her role as an "assassin", her zanpakuto being a precision based two-hit kill, and her fighting style just don't mesh very well.

Byakuya in the context of the story is clearly meant to be a close competitor of Kenny and Toshiro in the final showdown with Gerard, just like when the 2 faced Espada 0. He experienced similiar training to the others and was a way higher base then Rukia and Renji before squad zero training. This just isn't a take that is likely true within the story imo too big a gap between elite next gen captains at a time when everyone had gotten a neat vague power up.

[@TbxB95]

A ranking of "all" captains (some like Ginrei left out for obvious reasons) is interesting, although I disagree on some things, like Gin and Toshiro in the top10, as well as some placements below, also it would make more sense for characters like Tosen and Gin to consider them only when they were captains. The strongest 5 are that, but I would list them in different order 👺🌸🍭👓🔥

[@Thrillseeker8922]

Soi Fon is criminally underrated. Now I don't know her ranking by the end of the series cos power levels sort of get fucked up during the TYBW arc, but let's say among the original Gotei 13 in the SS arc I would easily put her on the same level as Ichimaru and Byakuya, i.e. mid-tier. Shunpo, hakuda, two-shot kill Shikai, super destructive Bankai, and then Shunpo. Like, how can you even put her at 23??? She even held her own against opponents like Yoruichi and Baraggan.

[@San_Ficy]

And she fought against Yoruichi in SS arc. I think she is above Kensei and Rose at the very least

[@doginababyseat5127]

Exactly. And to make it even better, she can actually combo 3 of those using them at the same time. She can simultaneously use her shikai and Shunko at the same time. Her shunpo technique such as cloning and the multiple other can also be used. Imagine 15 Shunko+shikia Soi Fon coming at you from multiple angles. This is legitimately something she is capable of doing, but Kubo never let us see it because he puts her in the worst match ups.

i think its because it is considered a "taboo" if they used hollow powers, under Yamamoto's regime before he died. However i think that Shunsui shouldve given the Vizored captains a go signal to hollowfy, since Shunsui is open to using underhanded methods during that war such as *freeing Aizen*

[@ethanquirk28]

4:02 For a medical position, I think a cool way to spin an ice type ability would be to look at it from a point of stasis. Everything is still and calm in a cloud of snow. From that perspective she could slow people and things down to a point where she is “freezing them in time”. From a medical perspective this would allow her to immediately stabilise the critically injured. From a combat perspective, locking someone’s condition (not allowing them to power up/move to shikai or bankai) or just outright preventing them from moving from a current position while in the cloud would be incredibly powerful if used right

I'm pretty sure that Hiyori said that if a vizard used their mask and bankai at the same time the hollow in them might take control so it risky and its different from when ichigo uses it because his hollow is trying to protect him

In defense of the Vizards its been said that using thier Hollow Masks and Bankai at the same time is too exhausting for them. In a war setting where its fight after fight, using the masks with bankai will just cause them to lose. Ichigo is the only exception to this for obvious reasons. As for why they didn't use shikai with hollow mask, my headcanon is that their bankai are strong than hollowfied shikai.

But because Isshin was the Gotei 13 captain with that reason could Ichigo never be a captain or will and he wan't to play as solo and with he's friends Chad, Orihime and Ishida always? These are things that is so interesting to think so i'm glad that you made this surprisilly LONG and AWESOME video about the Bleach Gotei 13 Captains Ranked to weakest to strongest that I can't rank captains because I like every Captains defienitily Yamamoto, Ukitake, Soi Fon, Komamura, Kyouraku, Kuroutsuchi, Unohana, Hitsugaya, Byakya, Zaraki, Aizen, Gin, every past captains defienitily Yoruichi and Urahara, new caprain Vizards like Shinsi and Kensei, but why every Vaizards aren't captains like Hyori and others?

Ishin fight with aizen at the beginning at least, didn't fight aizen to exhaustion. It was clearly stated that Aizen was weakened and at his limit because he was literally transforming mid fight. And no, not at limit meaning fight at full strength.

[@DiamonDust]

Huh? That isn't what happened. Isshin takes note of the fact that Aizen was tiring and had begun to slow down considerably, and Aizen agreed that he had reached his limit before transforming further. That transformation bailed him out basically. Your interpretation doesn't match what the characters actually said. Aizen had already taken damage from Yamamoto, Shinji, Ichigo, and taken down a bunch of captains while using KS tho so it's not like Isshin can be proven to be stronger than Aizen. At the very least they seem relative though, which is more than enough to scale Isshin to incredible heights.

[@satoatsuji8392]

@DiamonDust Okay so you're just wrong. Ishin: You're getting slower and slower. Aizen : I'm at my limit, looks like the will of the hogyoku is finally beginning to understand my desires. He then later says "Thanks to Urahara last attack, Hogyoku launched it's real power. And then LITERALLY starts to transforms. Which supports what I said, he's slowing because he's going to transform, not because he couldn't beat or was exhausted by ishin. And don't talk about the fight with the others, he no diffed everyone of them in one strike, and was barely even harmed from yama's attack. And did you even watch him fight ishin? Man's literally was unharmed 😭 the damage ishin did was less than yama's which by the way only scratched and dirtied Aizen clothes. You can't tell me that he's RELATIVE or even equal in strength 😭 only kisuke sealing kido that would've killed Aizen had it not been for the Hogyoku was a real threat to his life.

So now that we have an actual transcript rather than your fake transcript where you desperately changed the order of what was said and even combined separate sentences in the manga to suit your own arguments, let's take a look at it to see why you're incorrect. There is zero causality being established between him reaching his limit and the hogyoku awakening, that is just your own headcanon. Aizen is saying that he has indeed reached his own limit. However, he can surpass those limits as a soul reaper by tapping into another source of power that he will receive from the Hogyoku. The Hogyoku finally awakened more fully within him, so he can begin his transformation and does not need to rely on soul reaper powers anymore like before. Nowhere does it say the hogyoku itself is what drained his shinigami powers, you're just making that up from thin air. Aizen even says the phrase "finally beginning", which implies that he had been waiting for the hogyoku to actually start awakening the entire time but nothing was happening until that moment. Aizen would have noticed that it was the hogyoku was draining his powers, and he would not say "finally beginning" if it had been actively draining his shingami powers before that point. In that case, it would have "begun" long before that. He also said "my soul is being replaced", and "being" denotes present tense. He didn't say past tense phrases like "my soul has been in the process of being replaced" or "my soul has been replaced". You need to read more closely. "Thanks to Urahara last attack, Hogyoku launched it's real power." Where tf does he ever say this? Prove it, give the manga chapter and page. He does not say this or anything close to this. I know you must be some Aizen glazer fanboy, but even Aizen can get tired and has limits. As a soul reaper. Aizen looked visibly frustrated after being hit by Yama's Itto Kaso, which suggests that it did actually damage him in a substantial way. Ichigo also landed a big hit on him. Shinji landed some slashes on him. Cutting down captains in one or two blows takes a lot of reitasu output, and therefore reiatsu/reiryoku to accomplish. It is not something Aizen can do infinitely, even though he makes it looked easy. These things add up to overall exhaustion and lots of expended reiatsu/reiryoku, and even though the Hogyoku was restoring his wounds that does not mean it comes for free. He had not yet fully awakened his fusion with the Hogyoku yet, first off. His soul reaper powers are still fueling all of his abilities. The Hogyoku simply draws out potential, it is not like some energy source all on its own. So even when the hogyoku is healing his wounds, it has to be drawing that power from his soul reaper powers - aka his reiryoku pool. That changes after he becomes fully fused, and his power becomes transcendent in nature beyond soul reaper or hollow (allegedly, cause I am not fully convinced that it was not just a hollow related power). At that point his limit as a soul reaper and the exhaustion he has is obviously gone, or at least greatly diminished to the point of being irrelevant. Aizen was not going to have any scratches or anything on him... did you not see the hogyoku repair his wound when Ichigo cut his chest open? Looking for visible outer damage makes zero sense. It is his stamina and reiryoku that are "taking damage" by being taxed by the hogyoku to heal him. You're also conveniently ignoring the fact that Isshin has zero regen unlike Aizen, and yet there was not a visible scratch on him. They are relative for sure, you're just way too biased for Aizen to see it. Now you are talking about Kisuke's sealing kido which makes you a fool, because I was never saying that Isshin was relative to hogyoku awakened Aizen. That is obviously not true, since he literally lost to him in the 3 vs 1. Aizen powerspiked immensely there.

@14:30 Rose and Love didnt dace a serious Starrk. Also, Starrk said that and then proceeded to no diff them like true side characters. Their bankai wouldnt have made a difference.

[@RovalisGTO]

I love that you tackled this list the way you did. I disagree with some of the placements, but I’m really happy with some others. I think the list is spot on until Unohana. I think you underrate Unohana and Ukitake tremendously, while I think you overrate Hitsugaya and Shunsui in equal measure. Unohana is second only to Yamamoto throughout the entire story until her death. That’s including pre-Hogyoku Aizen. Ukitake is absolutely on par with Shunsui. It is true that what we see of Ukitake is disappointing, but the narrative makes it clear that Ukitake is extremely powerful. His swordsmanship is likened to art and his ability to negate attacks with his shikai is very potent in a world filled with powerful abilities. There’s also the distinct possibility that the presence of Mimihagi within him affords him power in a way few others could have. That’s just a theory but I think that it’s worth considering. Hitsugaya’s adult form bankai is absurdly powerful but it has a lot of caveats to it that hold it back. Most of all, it can be entirely negated by there presence of a powerful flame zanpakuto like Ryujin Jakka. It is also restricted to the prerequisite time limit for his immature bankai to tick down to the upgraded form. It’s just not enough to make up for the limitations unless others can buy him time. Shunsui is just tremendously overrated by the fandom. He is very powerful but his bankai, in particular, is just not that useful. It’s dangerous to his allies and it’s dangerous to himself. If he enters Act 3 - Dangyo’s Abyss - against an enemy that can outlast his reiatsu, he’s finished. It doesn’t matter if he’s a better fighter or more tactical or anything else. His bankai can work against him in a way that nobody else’s does. Lastly - Aizen needs to be considered with and without the Hogyoku. It stands to reason that ANY Shinigami with enough willpower could become the most powerful if they have the Hogyoku. It’s just disingenuous to assume the Hogyoku IS Aizen. It isn’t. And, with that in mind… pre-Hogyoku Aizen is just an above-average Shinigami. He used his shikai to manipulate the other Shinigami into perceiving him as more powerful than he was, which was pretty much told to us when Isane and Unohana confronted him in Central 46. He relies more on his cunning and deception as a Shinigami than he does as an ascended being with the Hogyoku. And that’s because he knows that he doesn’t have the requisite strength to overcome other more powerful captains at the time - such as Unohana, Yamamoto, Shunsui, Ukitake, Isshin, and possibly even some others. Aizen AFTER merging with the Hogyoku is undoubtedly the strongest Shinigami captain alive or possibly ever, and it’s not even a discussion. I would make the top 10: Yamamoto Kenny (unsealed) Unohana Urahara Isshin Shunsui Ukitake Aizen (pre Hogyoku) Gin Yoruichi

[@corruptangel6793]

I agree with Ukitake. By far his most underrated fight was Pernida. The dude fought and survived a 1v1 with a Schutzstaffel. He wasn't even critically wounded. Not to mention his fight with Yamamoto in the SS arc. People like to say Yamamoto was holding back, but he does say that Ukitake and Shunsui weren't getting away with a mere thrashing, so even if he wasn't going all out, he wasn't playing around either. Toshiro's immature Bankai can't work with Yamamoto's Bankai. His mature form, however, is no longer limited to merely controlling and freezing the moisture in the air. Base Aizen is NOT mid-tier. This was a key plot point in his fight with the Captains. He casually blitzed Shunsui, Soi-Fon, Shinji, and Toshiro simultaneously and dismissed ALL of them as weak and how they were nothing but openings. And this was AFTER he undid Kyoka Suigetsu. Gin even has a whole monologue about how monstrous his power is and that thinking Kyoka Suigetsu was the only thing that made him frightening was a gross misunderstanding of his strength. Just flexing his reiatsu a bit was able to force Grimmjow to his knees and then of course there's him tanking Hado 96 from Yamamoto head on and barely getting singed. All BEFORE the Hogyoku began to awaken. "I can feel it. My powers, which were already unparalleled within the Soul Society, are beginning to reach even greater heights.

[@rick6011]

The Vizard captains aren't really able to use Bankai and their masks without wearing themselves out faster. It's stated early on when they're introduced that just having the mask on is taxing for them, but fighting with the mask on reduces the time they're able to use the mask and after it shatters they're basically left depleted. Then it's implied using bankai shortens the time by a lot more so it's not ideal to use the mask and bankai.

As for Toshiro, while his adult form is very powerful, it also needs to be considered that it takes a considerable amount of time for him to reach that state, and even then his all-freezing ice is still clearly shown to have limitations (as Gerard broke free of it even through his entire body had been frozen), so much like any other hax ability it still seems to be limited by his & his opponent's respective Reiatsu. Shunsui did state that in 100 years Toshiro would probably surpass him though, which I see as foreshadowing of Toshiro's adult form as that is what his "base" likely will be by then, instead of his Bankai prematurely forcing him into that state.

[@ANDSTONE100]

@@yuma1133 The thing is, CFYOW is not to be trusted when it comes to powerscaling. CFYOW implies Kenpachi is on the level of two transcendent beings in Ichigo and Aizen, you (not you specifically) must be the biggest idiot in the world if you read that and your eyebrow doesn't raise in utter confusion at that implication. CFYOW says Ginjo's enraged Getsuga Tenshou was rivalled Ichigo's strongest (which would be the one that killed Yhwach), the novel is just ridiculous from a powerscaling perspective. Kenpachi does not go from weaker than Yamamoto to way stronger than him and competing with transcendent beings in only 6 months. That's just stupid.

[@yuma1133]

@@ANDSTONE100 CFYOW can be fully trusted, it was all co written and validated by Kubo and confirmed to be 100% canon. What's in it can be surprising at first, but it's all logic once you reflect on it. For Kenpachi's powerlevel, it's not that confusing when you take into account SAFWY and the way his character is written overall. Remember that he was already stronger than Unohana as a child, and Unohana is only a little step under Yamamoto and base Aizen. After getting back to his childhood powerlevel in only 3 days of "training", it would be strange if he wouldn't grow exponentially from there, now that he's much older. The speed of his growth isn't stupid, he was already forbidden form training after only one day with Yama by central 46 because they thought no one (including Yama) could stop him if he decided to rebel, and just look at Ichigo's growth speed. The fact that he became that strong so fast isn't strange, what's confusing is that we don't know what make his potential so high. That's when come all the theories about him being related to Hell (either by being a Hell hybrid or by coming straight up from Hell) and/or having soul king's throat/lungs. For Ginjo, I admit I raised my eyebrow in utter confusion when I learned about this attack. But after thinking about it, I found it logic as well. First Ginjo was already stronger than most captains before being killed. He has transcendant potential due to him being a hybrid, and can access this potential more freely since he's a soul. And even if he's for now one of the weakest transcendental being we know of, he's still transcendent and a potential SK vessel. Second, spiritual pressure can fluctuate a lot based on one's emotional state, and Ginjo was particularly pissed at Tokinada, that's why he spiritual pressure spiked at this moment because even if he's still weaker than Ichigo, Aizen or Zaraki, he has a similar kind of potential, and was able to tap into it thanks to his rage.

[@ANDSTONE100]

@@yuma1133 And regarding your defence of Kenpachi's writing, there's been no statements of Unohana being only a little under Yamamoto. We have no idea exactly what their gap is but what we do know is Unohana is weaker and the manga makes it quite clear that Yamamoto is by far the strongest (at the point before his death) in the Gotei 13. Yhwach even states that the original Gotei 13 were nothing but killers that could only be kept under control by Yamamoto. Also regarding Central 46, they forbade Yamamoto from teaching him Kenpachi, you believe they thought even Yamamoto couldn't stop him (they're not the best judge of strength). But an angle you're not looking at is the temperament angle, Kenpachi's nature is chaotic and that of a bull, maybe Central 46 were afraid of him being a formidable opponent if he were to go rogue after gaining more power because of his uncontrollable nature? Just a thought. I'm sorry, man, there's just no way Kenpachi goes from being a very powerful Shinigami to a transcendent-like being in the space of 6 months because he trained with his Bankai. At this point in time, Kenpachi is a pure Shinigami and in no universe should he EVER be on the same pedestal as actual transcendent beings like Ichigo and Aizen, who are beyond being a singular race. That is just pure wanking from Narita.

[@yuma1133]

@@ANDSTONE100 Bro how could that be pure wanking from Narita if Kubo co wrote it, reviewed it and validated it as 100% canon ? I already said it, all of it is valid whatever we think of its logic. Just because you don't understand it yet doesn't mean that it makes no sense. I'll go more in depth to try to explain to you. For Unohana, there are tons of things that shows her level, i'll name what I think are some of the main ones: - We know that she's twice as strong as almost any other captain that existed from club outside or databook. - Kuruyashiki, the 7th kenpachi, was stated to be as strong as a zero division member, and that man was afraid of Unohana's strength. - Back in the arrancar arc, she strongly implied that she could kill Aizen if she wasn't affected by kyoka suigetsu when talking with Ichigo. - We know that Zaraki, when removing at least a majority of his shackles, is vasto lorde Ichigo level from SAFWY. This is several times Yammy's power, and that's a power level that is starting to be close to base Aizen's level. Unohana matched and even killed this Zaraki several times during their battle in muken. So yes Unohana is clearly in the realm of Aizen and Yamamoto in fighting strength, but she's still a bit under them overall mostly because their zanpakuto's abilities are more potent. Yhwach's statement doesn't go against my claim, and for central 46, it was just to add to the validity of his growth speed. But even Aizen didn't want to fight him before fusing with the hogyoku because he knew about his shackles and true strength. So with this, we know that Kenpachi as a child (a child so far from his full potential) was already in the realm of Yamamoto fighting strength wise. He would've obviously lost to Yama's flames at that time, but the spiritual and the physical power was already there. He doesn't goes from only a very powerfull shinigami to a transcendent-like being, he starts by regaining his base child strength (no potential developed) which is already in the realm of the strongest pure shinigamis ever. Then he develop from there by training with shikai, not even bankai from what we know. Man the time isn't a problem at all, Ichigo literaly goes from a teenager in high school to a transcendent being in under 9 months and complete the dangai training to go from peak captain level to transcendent level in under 3 months, so a way faster growth than Zaraki. You talk about how it should or shouldn't be, i'm telling you what IS. You don't see the logic because you know it shouldn't be possible to reach such height for a pure shinigami like Zaraki, and you're right. I mean even Ichibei was astonished that such a shinigami could exist. But with Kenpachi not having a clear origin and being now canonically transcendent, don't you think it's more logic to think he's actually more than a pure shinigami to justify his crazy potential rather than saying Kubo and Narita's work isn't consistent, when it actually is ? Again that's when come the theories about Zaraki being Hell related or/and having soul king's throat. Because he can't be this strong without an external factor like this, with how works Bleach laws. And there are tons of hints and arguments to support those theories.

[@69tytyhar]

remember when Kensei Muguruma was teaching Hisagi bankai he told him central 46 banned them from using the hollow masks but since captain kurotsuchi evened the balance of the realms by killing 28000 rukongai citizens that there was no one in the rukongai to see why they went there to train

Soi Fon is legitimately such a dangerous and powerful captain. Only problem is Kubo goes out his way to give her opponents that counter her combat style. Barragan’s time powers made it impossible for her to get into a close combat fight which is her bread and butter. BG9’s heavy robotic exo armor acted in a similar manner making close hand to hand combat ineffective. Thus taking her shikai and Shunko again. She just never gets good fights that show off her full capabilities because Kubo takes them away.

[@thewanderer1233]

Even though Shinji's bankai seems "useless" unless alone against a large number of enemies, you forget that he can do pretty much the same thing with just his shikai, hollowfied and actually being serious, there's less to no chance most of the opponents would be able to even touch him, even in between ranked much above him. And you didn't even mention his greatest moment in "can't fear your own world" where he single handedly took on the massive amount of enemies (which btw could even reproduce hundreds in an instant) which most of the others would have simply die to exhaustion continuously being tremendously outnumbered.

[@VictorB-tq3ju]

Its funny how many fans are rating Kenpachi above Yama. It blows my mind. All that Kenpachi is or can do, Yama has shown capable of doing so and even more. His bankai is so immense, he dries up all the water in [maybe] all of soul society. He is capable of all fighting forms and techniques and has way more experience and reiatsu. He's so broken that Aizen had to modify an arrancar (who might have been high rank) specifically to deal with his zanpakutou. That's cos of all in gotei 13, he was the only one who could defeat him. Aizen and Yhwach had a list of threats, Aizen only had one on that list and Yhwach would've had Yama on that list if Yama was in peak condition and hadn't gone soft as Yhwach mentioned

Shinsui barely did anything against base Aizen while Urahara fought a much stronger version of Aizen and held up much better. Also a bankai vs bankai battle between the two i have Benihime coming out on top 5) Shinsui I actually wished he was stronger in the final arc. But for the reason stated above i cant place him higher than Urahara. Thats my top 5.

I know TYBW didn’t do him justice, but Shinji is actually insane, he is just a mini Aizen. A little nitpick but I think Soi Fon should go down one spot too, she hates her bankai and is overal immature and in Bleach your strength is determined by maturity + relationship with your blade so considering she has neither she is likely the weakest that we know the power set of.
