@@williamcortelyou4524 I don't know if you know Dark Souls lore, but there are a ton of implications that Nito, Gwen, The Witch of Izalith, and Seathe were born before time, and started history. As the age where Dragons were born, was before the concept of disparity, as I quote, "Then there was fire, and with fire came Disparity, heat and cold, life and death, and of course light and dark." It's implied that they were born before this moment, as they were drawn to this flame, coming from the dark, and gained their souls from this becoming truly who they were. Especially Seathe, since he was a dragon who was not only born from this but lived before this. Nito specifically being named "The First of the Dead."

6:35- to the point you could say his actual death aspect might be Pride- once Aizen’s temporally out of the picture, he takes charge, has a throne made for him and orders his own fraccion to do his bidding, like the king he used to be- the other Espada acting more like confident combatants against their foes. His powers are more into the metaphysical than the others, justifying his confidence- yet this confidence is what leads to his undoing as his power is used against him, an oversight that he didn’t see coming. Not to mention all of his Fraccion are all egotistical. His Zanpakuto is literally named arrogance.

[@rbo7]

Starkk was stronger than Barragan for several reasons. 1. Shunsui confirms he thought Starkk was the strongest after saying he was hoping Starkk was 2. 2. Barragan surrounded himself with armys of hollows for millennia. Stark didn't find a single hollow of the mass amounts of hollows that could be neat him. 3. Aizen said he was. 4. As for fighting, Starkk has Insane long range Sonido. Crossing the massive Los Noches in a single Sonido. And he is a long range fighter. Bad match up for Barragan.

[@LupineShadowOmega]

6. Stark is capable of attacking from any direction and/or as a pack of attackers. 7. Stark was capable of literally filling the sky with Ceros and Ceros of such power that two of the strongest Captains in the soul society were worried. And that was Stark casually attacking.

[@garji2477]

None of these are reasons that he was stronger/could defeat Barragan. Not stating my opinion, but you just listed abilities and background information, that from what is stated in the video could be overlooked.

[@Dexx1s]

1. We wanna go back to each rank reveal and assume that if someone thought/hoped they'd be stronger? 2. That's pretty irrelevant. That effect was present up until Aizen found him, u less you want to say that everyone we've seen in his presence is some mighty being. At worst, he found a way to suppress that and so Barragan would be able to as well. 3. K. From what we've seen, they didn't outright fight for their rank. You really wanna fight over Yammy? I'd put Respira over Yammy's 0 form any day. Barragan also hated Aizen more than he hated his given rank, which is probably the only reason he didn't go after Starkk the way Nnoitora went after Nel. 4. So at best, Respira can't catch Starkk but Barragan's too slow to catch him, making it a draw.

Something Aizen stated, this could very well be related to his illusions, but he does state that with a high enough spiritual pressure you can overcome special powers. Stark could very well have a strong enough pressure that respira may very well have no effect on Stark.

One of your best bleach videos

[@ChristianRodriguez-hz2qb]

When I was first watching Bleach base solely on his design, I thought Baraggan was going to be Chad's grandfather than he mentioned and that they would have a climaxed showdown. I know it was stupid of me to expect that Chad was going to be useful and actually defeated a major villain.

[@MaiTakeru]

that would be really crazy, but very interesting! Or maybe someone from his family tree, from way back then.

[@MaiTakeru]

very thought out and interesting commentary, I enjoyed it a lot! It never crossed my mind that Aizen could make Barragan a 2nd to piss him off, makes perfect sense. I was VERY underwhelmed when it was revealed that Starrk was no 1 and then his fight abilities were nothing spectacular. So disappointing, especially after seeing Respira. Barragan was one of my favorite Espadas and I agree, his fight made you think about life in general and that's a hallmark of a great shounen battle imo. Kubo tried to incorporate philosophy on life in other fights in Fake Karakura too (Findor vs Shuuhei and outlook on one's own weapons, etc) but here it was done best

[@khronostheavenger8923]

[@godisme8151]

It was stated in one of the data books, Unmasked I believe, that the Espada are ranked based on their amount of reiatsu. If you look at it from that standpoint, all the rankings make sense.

[@UberVilla]

Anybody else think it was super weird how the Hogyoku effected Baraggan? He is a walking, talking, feathery cloak and crown wearing skeleton. Then Aizen uses the Hogyoku on him and he becomes a typical looking human. Immediately I think that humans are weaker than living skeletons, for the simple fact that when humans die they become skeletons, so if a skeleton is still alive it has to be pretty damn strong. Then, when he goes into his resurreccion, he simply reverts back to what he was before Aizen ever did anything, with the same powers and everything. He had Respira then and now, I believe he had the same axe as he does in his resurreccion. No other hollow reverted to their original form they were in before the Hogyoku when going into their resurreccion. No adjuchas, no vasto lorde. So why did that happen with Baraggan? It’s almost as if it made him weaker by giving him that human form. The human form is literally just a weaker version of himself. His sword (axe) is sealed. And being that when humans die they become skeletons, I would say that if a skeleton was living, it overcame death from aging, and is pretty damn strong. Maybe his Respira, and power over aging reacted with the Hogyoku, reversing the aging process, his power. It’s weird but ? It could be why Hachi was able to kill him using his own power. After all, it seems as though Baraggan has been around forever, and deliberately stated that aging, and therefore his own power, could not kill him. Until, Aizen used the Hogyoku on him, giving him a human form. The human form also gave him organs and stuff. Like if he was always a skeleton, at least always a skeleton as a hollow, then he never had ‘insides.’ So how could Hachi put something ‘inside’ him? It would just go underneath Baraggan’s rib cage if Hachi tried to put something in his stomach. So gaining a human form created ‘insides.’ Even in his resurreccion skeleton form, he had like ethereal organs and innards that he never had before.

[@MaiTakeru]

wow, that's great insight! Totally agree! He was so strong that his released form was simply him! Barragan truly was captured by Aizen without gaining anything in return.

Baragan was such a huge missed opportunity. It's hard me believe doesn't have a ancient cero and an evolved form because he didn't take that fight very seriously. I would've loved to see a conversation/fight with Baragan and Yhwach with him going all out who knows might of joined forces temporarily.

[@Firetitain]

1:16 I personally would choose Kenpachi. Mainly because I'm curious to see both if he even knows how to perform it and how long it'd take him to even find me. I'm sure that'd be the most terrifying part of my after-life, but hey I'm already dead my as well leave the mortal coil in probably the world's oddest game of Blue's Clues with Kenpachi and Yachiru.

[@djskdkdkskfndkfkdksnsk]

Wikus Bester he’s saying if he had the option to choose, not that Kenpachi would actually collect his soul. I’m also pretty sure most of squad 11 don’t reap souls because they’re the fighting squad and are usually in the soul society unless something big happens

[@animefan77]

15:47- Yeah, I sympathized with Barragan- not the whole kill your own armies deal, but he was ruling pretty fine until Aizen comes out of nowhere, dethrones him to make him a soldier in his army- a god king into a brute soldier- an old man no less to enforce the idea that he's an old fossil past his prime, makes him number two to an apathetic guy that doesn't even care about the rank most of the time, who didn't even force his enemy to go Bankai, has his kingdom modified after being taken from him, and dies in a war he was in the long run, forced into against his will and treated like an sideshow for Aizen's secret plan to have a fight with his dreamed rival, Ichigo, whom he had a creepy obsession with, ultimately. He may be arrogant, but he's has every reason to be anger.

[@borjadecoy25]

Baraggan is easily my favorite Espada. Cool design (both his standard and Resurrection forms), his power is GREAT and his personality of a royal deity was interesting to see. Specially considering his inner grudge against Aizen. And I firmly believe he was the strongest Espada, Stark was a beast but the ability of Baraggan is just too OP, the only constant is time and death and he reined over it. (I won't even talk about the statement that Ulquiorra was the strongest, that's not even worth it) One moment I liked, small moment but great, was when Yamamoto released his Shikai and both Halibel and Stark were impressed/in shock but not him, he was unfaced and that is big dick energy if I ever saw one.

[@TheJayspyder]

22:25 Aizen was referring to the fact that hax or insta-kill abilities can be negated by having a higher power level. It isn't anything new. For example, in Dragon Ball Super Jiren is able to break out of being frozen in time by Hit just because he's stronger than Hit (and time itself). That means that Baraggan's Respira likely would not affect Aizen if he really does scale way higher than Baraggan in terms of power. On the other hand, I think it's debatable that Aizen was even really there with Soifon in the first place, as there's a good chance that was all an illusion of Kyoka Suigetsu.

[@nerdragon2649]

The way I understood, Espada are ranked according to their reiatsu and also according to their death motives, or rather their fittingness for the death motive of each number Edit: the way Aizen brushed off Nigeki Kessatsu goes off like this: he basically uses his raw reiatsu to nullify the reiatsu of Soi Fon's technique on him. And about Barragan using Respira on Aizen, probably wouldn't affect him. It's official information that if Respira was used on Kenpachi, for instance, his reiatsu would brush off that miasma and it wouldn't be able to even touch him

[@scottgrasser9737]

im not sure the resperia on kenpatchi deal is real kenpatchi was shown to be very woundable by many fighters weaker then barragan espada 5 nearly killed him hell shikai ichigo fucked him up without the eyepatch the medic chick stabed him with a dagger tosen jabed kido swords though him and his sword was able to stab though kenpatchi

Thank you for covering my favorite Espada. I found his power, personality and grudge against Aizen fascinating. "Unforgivable..UNFORGIVABLE!!! I'm going to kill you all...and I'm going to do it with my own hands! I am a King...I am a GOD...I WILL NEVER DIE!!!"-The God of Hueco Mundo I agree with your theory that Aizen made him the Number Two just to mess with him. Also as to what Aizen said to Soi Fon I am 100% sure that was only because it was an illusion they were fighting and he wasn't stabbed in the same place twice.

I like to think that Barragan and Yamamoto would both act as statesmen and come up with some sort of cease fire against each other after a giant battle.

Well, the arancars are menos class hollows, which means that they are creatures that are created from more than one soul. The original souls are reconstructed in a form of a menos and when they are killed they can't return to their original form, because they are no more the old souls, they are a new being.

That's a good point but it doesn't explain why Kisuke could effect Aizen after he had transformed. No way was Kisuke equal to or even close to Aizen reiatsu wise after he transformed. He probably wasn't on that level when Aizen was in his base form either yet his Kido spells did hit him and his Shikai abilities did very slightly burn him.
