Ulquiorra vs Äs Nödt Was NEVER Debatable...

[@96nekoyamato]

Yammy is absolutely not the type to be in Espada and withholds that ability. Because when he sensed Ulquiorra’s death he did not form anger but sense of sadness, thus unable to increase his strength. He also seemed to prioritise protecting the dog hollow while fighting kenpachi and byakuya.

[@JxFTW]

Ichigo "acknowledging" Yammy "probably" being stronger than Ulq is a HUUUGE stretch because... 1. Full Powered Masked Ichigo couldn't even compete against 1st resurrection Ulq 2. Ichigo literally wasn't conscious or aware of how he was able to beat Ulq, in fact he was surprised & put 2&2 together & doesn't even count that fight as a W for him 3. Ichigo is still heavily weakened after the Ulq fight & isn't even worried about going against Yammy

U have some good points but your argument with the YAMMY thing did not sell me at all I think they as most and segunda are WAY closer than u think

[@ezramiller8936]

It's bothers me that no one ever seems to take the fear back firing into account when considering the fight or flight response. In most cases individuals will be paralyzed with fear as part of the flight/avoidance response. However some immediately fall into a rash final stand mentality in a split second as part of the fight response. I find it just as likely that As Nodt catches the blast radius of a point blank lanza del relampago after the fear activates, and suffering massive damage due to the hollow reiatsu.

[@eliasfigarzon9813]

That's only if lanza can pierce blut vene. That thing is so op that almost no one uses it after the first invasion, only yhwach. Kubo realized that those abilities are way too op, even in the recent adaptation of the anime many quincies have not use it again or to its peak form.

[@ezramiller8936]

@eliasfigarzon9813 I'm less concerned with the idea of it piercing him and more so the fact that the fallout of its release would fill the area with hollow reiatsu. Blut-vein works within the veins to prevent cutting and piercing attacks from penetrating too deeply, but the explosion would still ablate the top layers of skin and flesh. With the scaling in the video, Ulquiorra maybe wouldn't have to AP to win under even circumstances, but the poisonous reiatsu of hollows probably shouldn't be overlooked when considering espada level arrancar.

[@revenantronin8377]

As Nodt should low-mid diff Ulquiorra rather comfortably, but I’d like to hear you out and see where you stand. Edit: Yeah, you got it! I thought you gave it to Ulquiorra because of the other comments. Also, people who claim that Ulquiorra is emotionless lack comprehension, why would he go out of his way to try and make Ichigo despair if he didn’t understand what despair was to begin with? The whole point is that he serves Aizen because he understands how weak he is and despairs at the thought of going against an insurmountable obstacle, which is why he doesn’t understand that others even try when they should instead despair. Why does he kill by creating a similar hole to his hollow hole in his enemy’s chest as if to make them feel the kind of emptiness he does? To make them understand the despair he feels. He DOES feel emotions, he simply couldn’t make sense of them until the very end when he reaches out his hand to Orihime, that’s when he finally understands. He expresses anger, hate, annoyance and so on. The fact that he has some of the best pesquisa among the Espada proves that his senses are heightened as well, so It stands to reason that he would feel fear (the normal one) let alone instinctive fear. As Nodt is just superior even without his Schrift anyway. Ulquiorra is only a better character with a better story arc and conclusion, other than that he’s a victim of Sternritter ‘F’ The Fear.

[@sirnonsense5033]

I really disagree with him being stronger than ulq without his Schrift lol. He has literally 0 feats without it. He didn’t seem to have any strong attack beside the stolen bankai he used and while his Blut worked well against shikai it lost out against rukias attacks. Hell he lost against rukias just learned bankai and we know from byakuya that it takes captains at least a 100 years to make then really usable. There is no way he would survive a lance unhurt. And we know that getting wounded by a hollow/arrancar is deadly for any Quincy that isn’t uryu and Mayby the death dealing depending on if it works which it should I think. As nodt is at beast a mid level Quincy and that if we don’t count the schutzstaffel lol. If we count the fear then it really depends how strongly it affect ulq… I won’t say it will not affect him but will he be able to how a lance or completely freeze?

[@revenantronin8377]

@@sirnonsense5033 Rukia would no diff Ulquiorra worse than she did As Nodt, it's not an anti feat bro. And yes, he's stronger. He was very blatantly faster than Shikai Byakuya in his base form, he could also tag and damage him to the point where Byakuya resorted to Bankai against a BASE As Nodt because he deemed him as an opponent that required Bankai, something he had never done before that point, not with that kind of urgency despite the risk of his Bankai being "sealed". The same Byakuya who as stated in the video, was as strong as Yammy on his own back then, and got stronger during the Fullbring arc defeating Tsukishima who knew his every move and how to counter him. Suffice it to say, Byakuya as well as Kenpachi who are equals at that point in the story would both beat Ulquiorra in a 1v1, and As Nodt was stronger than the two of them during the first and second invasions with just his base form, not Volstandig or Schrift, just stats. Him never using big attacks doesn't make him weak because by that logic, Shunsui would be really weak considering he doesn't have any big attacks either. By your logic, Menos Grande are stronger than most Quincy because they can fire huge ceros and Quincy can only shoot tiny reishi arrows. I guess Lille Barro is bullet level lol. That's a very disingenuous way of powerscaling. As Nodt doesn't have any environmental destruction techniques besides maybe Sklaverei, however his AP and durability scales much higher than Ulquiorra's as well as his speed (all types). Put simply, As Nodt would never be hit by Ulquiorra's ceros and even if he did, he'd simply no sell it. He's just flat out stronger with or without his holy word.

[@sirnonsense5033]

@@revenantronin8377 he was faster than shikai byakuya which looses in speed against bankai ichigo which got blitzed by ulquorra even without second release nothing special. Byakuya used bankai cuz he thought the Quincy just seal bankai. All of soul society was on the attack which is why he planner renji to finish of as nodt fast with his bankai ( he thought they can just seal one at a time). He didn’t get stronger fighting tsukishima he just learned to improvise in his bankai usage so it couldn’t be in his past. Idk why u would think that powers him up. Byakuya is as strong as yammi with bankai. Without it being stolen he wouldn’t have suffered that badly from fear and likely defeated as nodt as well. Lastly the sternritter each got paired against shinigamis which they are good against. We know from ywhachs conversation that they ruthlessly planned all of it but they are weak against hollow and except the schutzstaffel and Gremie likely all of the mid level Quincy would loose against 0-4 espada. Hell they even let ywhach defeat harribel cuz they feared her as the only vasta lord espada remaining.

[@soulman9018]

Well are a couple of problems with this. One Byukuya was shown using his bankai against yammmy while he stick to his shikai against As Nodt who defend agaisnt it with blunt vene which going by the info cards in the anime is just as powerful as a bankai. Two the we have no idea what Byukuya contributed when fighting against Yammy when he went into his second releases form only that he worked together with Kenpachi and the fight left him horribly injured. And as for Ulquirroa being affected by the fear…well that really depends if Ulquirroa has enough will power or anything to fear to begin with or him fearing as Nodt is enough to subdue him.

[@thegreatynot5049]

This is a great video, however I think it's closer than you think for one reason. Ulquiorra was already dominating hollowfied bankai Ichigo (who is 100% more powerful than Bankai Byakuya) with his first release. And then used his second release just to prove a point. Ichigo would have died without laying a scratch on Ulquiorra if white hadn't intervened. Not saying Ulquiorra would beat As Nodt, cause I really dk, but he atleast would give him a run for his money I think. Gonna check out your other stuff.

@rayvonvelez3129 The problem for me is that a lot of people attribute actual power differences, where the true advantage the Sternritters had over the Espada were in terms of numerical superiority and organizational cohesion. They are an actual military force, while the Espada were ultimately a gang of strong individuals with a group of loose followers, and only the top 5 were really captain class. Meanwhile, each one of the Sternritters could mostly be scaled to that strength and were armed with an anti-shinigami device. So the multipliers are a little muddyer due to this confusion. The higher teir Espada are much closer to the standard Captains than most give them credit for.

[@Tletna]

You don't make a very convincing argument for why As Nodt is stronger. You just assume Yammy is stronger than Ulquiorra because Yammy and Ichigo say that he is. But, in the fight between Ulquiorra and Ichigo, Ichigo loses (at first at least). Ichigo may not yet have the skills or experience that the Captains have but his strength is comparable and one could make arguments for it being weaker or stronger, but I'd say even low-balling Ichigo was Lieutenant level there (but I think he was already stronger). So, while this isn't a hard proof I'd say it is reasonable to say that at minimum Ulquiorra was stronger than Lieutenants and whether weaker or stronger, comparable to captains. It took White Hollow Ichigo in near full control to defeat Ulquiorra. Sure, it was a stomp. But, I think White Hollow Ichigo would've stomped on As Nodt as well. What really matters is how strong do we say As Nodt is both with and without his abilities. Without his abilities, I believe As Nodt was weaker than the Captains. In fact, without their blut releases I believe all the letters except the elite ones at the top were weaker than the Captains. As Nodt wins vs Byakuya due to surprise, due to all the captains having their bankai stolen, and due to his hacks. Without all that on his side, As Nodt would've lost to Byakuya. Take away all the plot-driven advantages and disadvantages and I think Ulquiorra stands a chance but *only* if he can survive As Nodt's hacks. I believe he is fast enough to evade them and I do believe that if struck he could ignore the fear effect for a while, for how long is hard to say. One could argue that it affects all living things but I counter the Ulquiorra embracing nothingness gives him resistance if not outright immunity. Also, Ulquiorra survive attacks from White before ultimately losing. As Nodt doesn't hold a candle to White.

[@kilokilo7254]

Saying Ichigo was Lieutenant level in the Arrancar Arc is a really weird take. And then the argument "If he didn't have his abilities, he would be weaker" is super contrived.

[@ta.9412]

i think they're low balling Ichigo just to satisfy the aggressively bad take that Byakuya was heavily outclassed by as nodt. but the main argument is how strong As Nodt truly is, he only beat Byakuya the first time since his bankai was stolen (bankai typically a x10 increase of shikai) so of course he is going to lose if they were equal and then the other takes the boost. Everyone did get stronger after the arrancar arc and trained but Yammy still took Byakuya and Kenpachi to be defeated i would say ulquirora's power was actually stronger than yammy's . without abillities is just an even playing field but if he meant straight hand to hand or just no hax is to be determined, since they both have hax.

[@ezramiller8936]

​@andrei-cezarbleaje5519 I'm not convinced the Sternritters outscale the Espada in terms of raw stats. It's more that they are a more organized military force, and their abilities are more absolute. Their abilities typically ignore any regular spiritual defense the soul reapers have and influence them directly through reishi manipulation. While blut vane protects one from stabing or peircing the body, it only works within the blood stream so large scale explosions will still ablate the top layers of skin and any non-vascular tissue. So I'd honestly see this fight ending 3/10 As Nodt wins, 2/10 Ulquiorra wins, and 5/10 As Nodt deafeats Ulquiorra but succumbs to blood loss from a close range release of Lanze del relampago shortly after.
