Who is the STRONGEST Bambi in TYBW? Ranking the Sternritter Girls from WEAKEST to STRONGEST | Bleach

[@MrTommo2304]

Which of the 5 Bambis do you think is the strongest of the group? Do you agree with my list at all? And would you like to see me revisit this in the future, looking at CFYOW too? Let me know - thanks everyone!

[@Intrepid_Explorer]

Probably Liltotto considering that Kubo himself confirmed that she had both the strongest hand-to-hand combat abilities as well as the best Blut, meaning that she's the best among the Bambis in both offense and defense without their Schrifts. She's also clearly the most level-headed of the group, which matters a LOT.

[@Spurgte]

Goku

[@ArionMcNeal]

​​@@Intrepid_Explorer I knew I remembered hearing about that somewhere and if I'm not mistaken bambieta is the weakest in the group and liltotto is the strongest.

[@MrGksarathy]

Definitely Liltotto, not just because Kubo said it, but because she was able to do shit like nonlethally subdue a Pepe-controlled Meninas, who was using the Power, with only minor injuries, and frankly doing the best against Ichigo out of the remaining four. Candice is the weakest for sure because she comes off as a relative greenhorn in both her abilities and soldiery. Bambi's power is derived pretty much entirely from the Explode, so I think Kubo ranking her low for Blüt and hand-to-hand makes sense. Meninas seems to rely entirely on the Power to enhance her strength, so Liltotto outdoing her in raw strength holds up. Finally, Giselle over time has come across as a brilliant, but lazy character who may excel in various arenas but chooses to rely on the Zombie because it's easier that way. That, and Giselle was claimed to be as intelligent as Mayuri in CFYOW.

[@Caidezes]

Liltotto's biggest advantage is her personality. Calm, smart, and precise. That along with her power is just a great combination.

[@bwill887]

I think she may actually be a psychopath or, at the very least, capable of acting entirely rationally. I wonder if the reason PePe didn't fight back was because it was useless. Liltotto didn't seem all too angry, more that she was betrayed and needed to remove the traitor. If you can't feel love, would PePe's ability work on you? Of all the Bambis, she was the most even personality wise, only demonstrating any emotion when the Auswählen was used. As for power, I think Liltotto was the most powerful. Regarding Bambi herself, I wonder if all her power was in the schrift, as she never really demonstrated anything else. It is weird that she wouldn't try activating her holy form if she had it during the Komamura fight, so I really wonder if she was only relying on it. If so, I could see her being the strongest initially, but as the other Bambis improved their other abilities, she may have fallen towards the bottom. Her attacks are powerful but are also unfocused, the others had a wider range of abilities and defenses. Her fight was weird, while she was fighting an immortal, he was also a massive target and didn't care about taking damage. Would another fighter be able to evade her attacks and take her down if they were more nimble or cunning. It was quite apparent the other Bambi's feelings towatds her were off too, as they were happy to make her a zombie despite Bambietta's pleas.

[@prophetofbara1214]

Liltotto can most likely understand and feel love because she avoided Pepe's The Love when he tried to hit her, implying she's scared of it. ​@@bwill887

Physical Strength - Meninas 💗 Speed- Candice 💚 Destructive Capabilities- Bambi ❤ Hax & Unpredictability - Giselle 💙 All-rounder- Liltoto 💛

[@lucariogames456]

This is actually probably the best way to determine them in ranking. I don't really think any of the Bambi's in TYBW are stronger than each other (Except for Meninas and Liltotto) I think it's much more like they all have a category they win in and together they become deadly.

[@DuBstep115]

Giselle no diff, she only loses to other sternritters because zombie won't work unless they are dead

[@RealLifeIronMan]

​@@DuBstep115Giselle is like Batman. The more prep time, the more hax her power. However, against an opponent who knows her abilities, like the Bambi's, and doesn't give her time to build an army, she is pretty liable to get beat. So no diff is very much an exaggeration.

[@Pridam]

I believe that Bambietta ranks so low on both the hand to hand and the Blut categories, is because she relies on her Shrift too much, being overly reliant on one ability tends to make you weaker in other aspects

[@BugLondon]

@@Daiyve Blut scales to overall quincy power level where the stronger the quincy the stonger their blut is. So ranking by blut is just another way to have a power level ranking like when soul reapers get compared by spiritual pressure. so hand to hand is likely a ranking of if they were just normal humans without powers.

[@jordantinucci3509]

@@BugLondon I disagree it dont think it scales to overall power level in that way. having better blut does not mean better durability than someone with weaker blut. it just means bambietta is not as good at using blut. its kinda like noitora with hierro, he has the strongerst hierro according to himsefl(whether thats true or not is up for debate) yet is only the 5th espada and for sure has weaker durability than the top 4

[@BugLondon]

@@jordantinucci3509 The series explicitly says "the stronger the quincy the stronger their blut". This was stated on the interim cards for the anime on the one explaining blut.

[@jordantinucci3509]

@@BugLondon yet quilge states that blut is regulated by yuha and implies it's the same for every Quincy. Was the card officially translated? because it also compares the power of blut to bankai which have a set multiplier. It's a weird thing to measure power by and as someone mentioned in another comment it seems the Bambi's are each the best at a certain thing with liltotto being the best all rounder. Ranking by blut doesn't automatically mean ranking by power level. It just depends on how good a Quincy is at using.its very much the opposite of explicit.

[@cypherbrittainnethegodofsl4988]

I personally think that Bambietta is the strongest purely because of her raw damage output, but Liltotto has the most potential because she can use any abilities of anyone she ate (she refused to use The Love out of sheer disgust of Pepe)

[@Grayson-Winchester]

So could she even use the Almighty if she ate a piece of Yhwach? Of course she doesn't have that amount of reiatsu to actually use it.

[@MrGksarathy]

At it's best, she's completely immune to Hollow poisoning by her own reckoning.

[@prophetofbara1214]

Honestly just getting heartburn is a good tradeoff to losing function in your limbs (BG9) or getting random cuts on your body (Cang)

[@superchespin1229]

I always liked the concept of Giselle's immortality, since it's implied that it's linked to her blood, so presumably, you could kill her permanently if she lost enough blood. It just never happens in the source material. And to give Candice a bit of a break, her Vollstandig was active for about an hour, the longest (I believe) out of all the Stern Ritter, and she was fighting without a break longer than most Stern Ritter ever did. I always love speculating the Quincy abilities and their schrifts, especially the Bambies.

[@BugLondon]

I think giselle is identical to her zombies. she needs blood to move but could always be revived if her blood is replenished. THere's really no permanent way to kill her zombies.

[@zerobarge718]

Liltotto also fought Jugram and managed to survive for awhile. This being something that I can't see the others managing to do.

[@StefveoX]

Keeping all of us engaged even during the off season of Bleach… you’re honestly the GOAT

[@VOGoshinki]

An amazing video and analysis by you as always. As a huge fan of "The Bambis" I feel that I may as well post my own take. 1. Bambietta (Easily the most overpowered of the schrifts out of the five of them and defeating Shinji with just one attack is just plain NUTS. Frankly, Komamura needing immortal regeneration, one of the most broken abilities in all of Bleach, to defeat her, Not to mention it was her own attack, not Dangai Joue that ultimatley put her down. 2. Liltotto: Basically for all of the reasons you gave. However, if this was taking a statement from CYFOW into account, Meninas would be placed here. (The one saying she's stronger then Kenpachi....Somehow.) 3. Meninas: While her attacks don't really hurt Ichigo all that much, I'd argue the fact she's able to even push him at all is insane, given how Ichigos attempts at fighting characters way stronger than him in the past haven't even done that much. Also, I personally believe the reason Liltotto beats her so easily is because she was in vollstandig while Meni was in Base. 4. Giselle for reasons you stated, I just believe the fact she has to use the zombies to do the fighting for her leads itself to a weakness that should be accounted for. Still, in terms of how 'broken' and 'versatile' the ability is, she would be at the top. 5. Candice: Everything you said once again. I would say she could probably make quick work of the lesser Espada (9-8) but would struggle against the likes of Grimmjow and Nnoitra, so I believe she deserves her last place ranking.

[@huntertezz]

I think Meninas has the potential to be strong as Kenpachi but currently her strength is nowhere near Zaraki's level. I think she got overpowered by Giriko.

[@IppoX90]

This list surprised me positively as based Liltotto-fan. I thought I was the only one who thought this, but instead our list is identical.

[@Grayson-Winchester]

Most people don't realize how nice Liltotto is. She is the heart and the brain of the Bambis. Lil was also the only Quincy to want to save her friends and leave with them. Also I wanted Yoruichi of all people to fight against them.

[@joshuaponder1775]

If true, then it makes sense as to why she was the only one looking away when they all approached Bambietta when after she was defeated by Komamura...

[@TheBigExclusive]

Giselle relies more on his ability to use slaves and not his personal power.

[@darthInsanius]

Before watching, I have always thought the ranking was as follows: 1.) Bambi - her power is actually pretty powerful. If not for Komamura's new Bankai that had no physical form, they would have been in some trouble with Bambi. The omni directional explode balls are hard to counter. 2.) Liltotto - Stated her and Giselle are stronger than Meninas and Candice. I put her above Giselle mainly due to the fact that Giselle's abilities don't lend themselves to actual power. Plus, it was Liltotto who was the one that save Giselle from the Auswählen. She seems like she's the stronger of the two. 3.) Giselle - as stated above, her and Liltotto are stated to be stronger than Meninas and Candice. I feel like this is true anyways since she is basically unkillable (especially if you take CFYOW as canon.) She has the ability to subdue mass numbers of shinigami foot soldiers, all the way up to captains and other sternritter. Her new Vollständig was able to restrain Ichigo, for a moment, while in combat as well. Again, her abilities aren't offensive in the traditional sense, but her ability to control others and her durability easily puts her in 3rd. 4.) Meninas - Actually sent SP Ichigo flying, albeit with a bit of a sucker punch. Not much else going on with her. She's obviously super strong, physically, but can't think of too much else for her. 5.) Candice - Pretty obvious - although her abilities are kinda cool, she has the weakest showing of the bunch. I think Giselle said that Candice just recently got her Vollständig as well, making her most likely less experienced with it. She gets her ass kicked in her fights and just doesn't have anything impressive, in my opinion so that easily puts her in last.

[@eggy2229]

that's my same ranking. we do witness bambi's vollstandig vs the 4s.

[@codafett]

Bambi's objectively the strongest because she can shoot energy grenades that you can't defend against indefinitely. In terms of pure destructive power, you can't beat that.

[@darthInsanius]

@@codafett Totaly agree. After watching the video and hearing Kubo’a comments, I can see why she may not have the highest reishi and Blut abilities, but that Omni directional bomb ability is just so hard to deal with. In a 1v1 against all the other Bambi’s, none of them could beat her. And on top of that, I think Bambi would be able to defeat more captains than any of the others as well.

[@codafett]

@@darthInsanius Yup. Remember, when she blew up a pretty big part of the Seireitei just by getting a little angry? Yeah, that was in base form.

[@bookofgrimoire9193]

@@darthInsanius I would agree that she has the most destructive power, but in a 1v1, i think liltotto will still beat her, but in a war, bambi will contribute the most in combat while liltotto has to rely on her brain or surprise attack as liltotto doesn't have too much wide destructive power. (cause liltotto can use the LOVE)

[@kyleoverton334]

Something i feel is interesting is that Bambi's ability seems like it would ineffective against fighting other Quincy. As stated, The Explode doesn't create bombs it just slings reishi at things and makes the things it comes in contact with bombs. Mayuri is able to counter this when fighting Zom-Bambi using what he calls a "Reishi Fixing Device" And that made me think, that device is pretty much just a basic Quincy ability: manipulating and controlling reishi. Which leads me to believe a component enough Quincy, possibly one with Skaleverai, counters The Explode outright. Which kinda explains why the other Bambis (and other Sternritters) aren't scared of her and don't respect her. It's a powerful ability against Shinigami but nothing all that threatening to a Quincy.

[@windhelmguard5295]

i think the reason why gizelle is so powerful when blut is taken into consideration is that quincy can't use blut vein and blut artery at the same time, this gives gizelle a big advantage since she doesn't really need to use blut vein to defend herself, so she can go all in on the offence with blut artery.

Thanks for the video! I found myself agreeing with your rankings, despite Bambietta being my favorite and the one I find to personally be the most scary if she were to reach her full potential. Just thinking about a Bambietta with top tier defensive Blut on top of using her Schrift in advanced and creative ways, rather than simply blowing up everything around her, is fun to think about.

[@MarsCorporations]

I always kind of felt that Liltotto is the underdog of the group. I think It's her attitude that gives it away. No quirky stuff, just a serious and stoic person taking every situation by what it is (instead of going all out in a rage or screaming around or whatever). She reminds me a lot of Starrk in that regard.

[@Slayer_Of_Waifus]

I don't usually comment on anime videos but damn I honestly wish you covered all the animes I watch, genuinely well spoken and thoughtful analysis through and through, keep up the good work.

My theory : Liltotto looks scrawny and like a child because all she eats goes towards the shrift and so her body doesn't get enough nutrition. A bit like the same reason edward elcric is made fun of for being small for his age because his nutrition goes towards the body of his brother.

Liltotto being the strongest doesn't surprise me at all. I mean all you have to do is think about Aizen versus Sajin based on looks/size difference. Plus, Kubo is purely trying to get us to look outside the box as he always has.

[@smittypwnz]

For overall fighting strength (not ablilities or hand-to-hand) I would say Giselle (with Zombie Captains), Bambietta, Liltotto, Giselle, Meninas, Candice. Giselle and Liltoto seem to use the most quincy abilities outside their Schifts, so her having strong Blut isn't to far fetched just that she never shows it off much since her ability relies on her being cut to spread blood on enemies.

[@Dilaudid281]

I really hated how they just had to let the regular Sternritters get some shots in on Ichigo. There was no reason to do that, other than to make Ichigo look weak. But I also disliked that the outcome to the Captains having their Bankais stolen...is that they just immediately get them back. They didn't even have to work to get them back...they just got them back.

[@NeufAtora]

@@Dilaudid281 That honestly never bothered me. I find it a little boring if the protagonist(s) is some godlike being who's completely untouchable, especially keeping in mind that Ichigo has only been a shinigami for a couple years at most by the TYBW and doesnt have full control of his own power just yet.

As per the norm, your analysis is pretty spot on. Ichigo's a difficult measuring stick overall. Personally I think that Giselle isn't so capable physically. I do agree that she's quite intelligent (enough to slip off and escape without being chased), even if her blut is more capable than Meninas? Given her choice of fighting style and puppeteer lead in battle, I'd personally rank her lower (in hand to hand) than Meni, though that might be the only aspect of it that I could.

[@unbothered5240]

I only disagree on two things. I think your take on Meninas vs Lil is a bit off. Here's why: •During the time we see Pepe's power work, we see that there's some level of resistance in everyone he hits... whether it's confusion or they're enamored to the point of lovestruck and incapable of finding how to express those emotions. •We do not see Hisagi go all out, because he never uses shikai or Bankai on Byakuya. So it's unfair to assume Meninas went all out, rather than simply became violent and acted on pepes want of lilo being dead. We also don't see Meninas use vollstand, but we know lilo quickly used hers to get the win. I think its far more logical then to realize Lilo understood how to take out Meninas quickly and did so effectively so she didn't even need to kill her. That speaks to Lilos intelligence, but the fact she seemingly quickly went into vollstand should explain that base Meninas is at least within the realm of base lilo -> vollstand lilo as she didn't die from the encounter, and Lilo used it to secure the win. To me that places Meninas over Giselle. I would even argue that Meninas using the power might be more of a combat concern than bambietta because of the speed we see her achieve to catch ichigo of guard by launching herself... and she did lift an entire building and slam it on those shinigami. Bambi's power is just more terrifying outright until you learn how it works. So I'd rank them. 1. Lil - all rounder, long mid and short range 2. Bambi & Meninas - Bambi has long range, Meninas has short and mid range both are better at burst damage. 3. Giselle - has mid range but relies on zombie completely. 4. Candi - has too many weaknesses but she is decent in all areas just lacking so much compared to the others.

id still put bambi over liltoto since as tough as she might be, don't think she'll handle dozens of explosive blasts unless gluttony is above explode in that it can swallow them.

[@DustinCarter-v5d]

Giselle for the sheer fact of everyone is now a ally (zombie slave) but bambietta or lilotto for raw damage or steal moves by eating the person

[@aquanb93]

I love when you say Eldridge

[@Sighclops23]

imo koramura should have obliterated them all with the sacrifice he gave, everyone overlooks episode of komamura's rise to greatness, that episode will always be a special place for me. Kommamura was an extrodinary character,, perhaps not the strongest but the one who would scarifice everything. Komamura forever, Imo the Hell arc should place him in the forefront. amazing character, would be 100 times greater to see him again,. Long live the wolf

[@griffin9749]

Fr Fr he should of given them the Saudi Arabian treatment

[@julianoliver5364]

Liltoto is stronger than Meninas with The Power active. She beat Meninas when the later was being controlled by Pepe. We saw her arm bulk up.

[@typeouetco1626]

Bambietta vs Lil is genuinely the only debate. Everything else is very explicitly ranked

[@JoshuaDMarti]

At the end of the day the reason why people barely have an agreement with how strong they are is cus Bambi was the one with the most shown feats, even if she is supposed to be one of the weakest if she doesn't get to spam her Schrift. Bambietta: Defeats Komamura in the 1st invasion and steals his bankai. Defeats Shinji and renders him greatly incapacitated. Gets defeated by a buffed Komamura. Liltotto: Incapacitates an already tired-out Kenpachi in a 1v4. Gets defeated by Ichigo. Defeats Meninas while she was under The Love's effect. Gets defeated and incapacitated by Yhwach. Meninas: Defeats a distracted non-bankai Rukia during the 1st invasion. Incapacitates an already tired-out Kenpachi in a 1v4. Gets defeated by Ichigo. While she was on the effects of The Love, gets defeated and incapacitated by Liltotto Candice: Incapacitates an already tired-out Kenpachi in a 1v4. Gets defeated by Ichigo. Gets defeated and incapacitated by Byakuya. Giselle: Incapacitates an already tired-out Kenpachi in a 1v4. Gets defeated by Ichigo. Was winning against Yumichika and Ikkaku. Gets defeated by Mayuri. Gets defeated and incapacitated by Yhwach. Like, overall, Bambi was the one that managed to not only show off the most but to have more solid feats. The most that the rest did was ganging up on a toasted Kenpachi.

[@Psychoveliatonet]

Agree with the ranking 100%

[@Swagkia_Kuchiki]

Bottom line, they've all poorly developed characters that are hardly remembered. Kubo let them live nmfor fan service but kills off Jugram, Bazz B or Gerald. Can't Fear Your Own World is soft canon though because of the issues it causes.

[@supersonicmario56]

Aside from the fact that Liltotto's basically Kirby (which if you'd played Kirby games, the lore of the series can pretty much be described in a nutshell at 27:01) with the personality of Garfield the cat, the one thing that makes her the strongest is that she's the only sternritter whose sane enough to actually have common sense.

[@JoshuaDMarti]

Despite being complete one side characters (except Liltotto thanks to CFYOW) you just gotta... admire(? Kubo's interest on still letting them be relevant every now and then. As to who is the strongest, if anything Kubo's comments just officialized things that the fandom already knew. He was vague enough to confirm some things and with it you can pretty much figure the rest. Bambietta having the most immediately powerful Schrift yet still lacking in hand to hand combat and blut usage is really genius lmao. It hammers down the idea that the only reason why she was the self-proclamed leader of the Bambis was just because of her Schrift and absolutely nothing more. They may not entirely hate her but the fact that Lil, Candy and Mini just let Giselle turn her into a zombie (even if it was to avoid Jugram's execution due to failing to completely defeat Komamura) just show that they really didn't vibe with her at all.

[@stryperwolf1723]

Im not sure if bambis schrift is that much stronger considering pre human komamura shrugged off her bomb in the first invasion like it was nothing when he cut it.

[@JoshuaDMarti]

​@@stryperwolf1723Well, at least is the most effective in base out of the bunch. Candice needs to charge up. Meninas' is not really effective against captain level opponents, her only W being against a distracted Rukia. Giselle needs trickery, luck and a lot of prep time to even start to being a threat. And for someone whose power is literally eating, Liltotto use it very VERY selectively against string opponents, She only ate PePe after he was already defeated by Zombie Kensei. So yeah, I think she is the most IMMEDIATELY effective one when it comes to damage. But she is basically a glass canon.

[@dereckdereck9931]

( Sorry -a bit off topic) Hi There so, I quite appreciate your content and I have to say ,I assume that when looking at Bankai rankings - it's pretty much subjective and we can't really rate different bankai's although admittedly there are some that are broken. I guess that's why shinigami need to earn their weapons respect to some degree because I can say that some characters have no real idea of how to work with their shinigami ( Had ikkaku been a Yamamoto or unohana or Zaraki level warrior -then idea of him simply getting stronger and stronger would be impressive. In short most abilities are simply limited to the ability of their user- can imagine how some abilities might seem broken if they were wielded by Aizen or Urahara

[@dereckdereck9931]

sorry meant to say some shinigami don't know how to work with their Zanpakuto

[@Flounderboy15]

I wonder if there is some kind of inside joke in Japan because Liltotto is such a random pick for the person asking the question and Kubo.

[@randomguy1928]

Bambietta being third makes more sense tbf. If we saw her true potential + had the I'm not insane mindset, she would most likely be number 1

[@elbandito2990]

Find it hard not to place Bambietta at number 1 just from what we saw. The only one that I can see stacking up to her is Liltotto, but with a lack of clear feats, I cant place her above. Problem is that most of the Bambis fight Ichigo which is unfair, while Bambietta beats Shinji, but her ability hard counters him so its also not fair. Then she gets countered by Kamamura, WHICH IS ALSO UNFAIR. Kubo kind of seems like he makes random things up when answering questions too

[@elbandito2990]

Put it like this, if they fought, I dont see how any of them deal with The Explode. Giselle and Meninas get bombed while Candace gets outpowered. I doubt Giselle is recovering from constant bombardment either. Liltotto with her munch munch thing is the only 1 that contends at range but again, we dont know the extent of the power as Ichigo broke out of it with ease

[@cesarflores2760]

Shinji was about to kill her just with his shikai, Shinji wasnt even trying. She wasnt able to kill Komamura during their first fight, I mean, wtf, Komamura before his transformation is one of the bigges, slowest y weakest Captain, an easy target for Bambiettas bombs and still he survived

[@LeoLikesLamb]

Your videos butter My biscuits thank you

[@Javetts]

Finally! Let it be known! Liltotto is among the strongest, the smartest, and emotionally/mentally stable of all Sternritter.

[@Joe1887]

Liltotto is finally getting her flowers!

[@urameshitrev1851]

Safest bet is probably. Bambietta>Lilttoto>Candice>Meninas>Giselle Giselle seems more reliant on her Zombie Hax, cause as we saw in the Ichigo fight, her attacks weren't really doing anything compared to Meninas or Liltotto. Meninas, has great Physical Strength but she doesnt have a lot of fights to judge where she lands against Captains (being her only fights are offscreening Rukia, an exhausted Kenpachi and True Shikai Ichigo) Candice did the best of the Bambies fighting Ichigo, but she got wrecked by Byakuya from just his Shikai. She was able to damage Kenpachi, but once again, he was exhausted from Gremmy. Liltotto I put above Candice because CFYOW gave her the buff of being able to utilize abilities of those she has eaten. So she would have access to Pepe Waccabrada's The Love, which is a really hax ability. Bambietta, even as a Zombie was giving trouble to Ikkaku and Yumichika and while alive one shot Shinji, who should be at least on the mid level of a Gotei 13 captain.

[@Lupinemancer87]

Gotta be embarrasing for Meninas, if your whole thing is that you have a power that makes you punch harder, and you still losses in a fist fight, then maybe it's time to reconsider your career :D

[@ROBSULL]

To be fair skill is also a factor. An MMA fighter will always win a majority of the time against a bodybuilder in a fist fight.

[@ladrellhart2063]

When I first read the manga, I thought Candice was 2ed because she had the power of lightning.

[@derekrichardson7853]

I’m a sucker for lightning attacks, and my favorite color is green. So my absolutely biased answer is Candice being the best and strongest. Lol

[@jayson2916]

Bambietta is the strongest for me, there isnt a lot of Liltotto and i dont see how she or Giselle survives Bambietta raining reiatsu bombs down. The firepower is just too great. If Giselle already has powerful captain like zombies on her side then she could beat Bambietta.

[@flareinc7413]

20:11: so if the Bambis can strike when The Iron is hot, they can strike all the time? :D Sorry, I had to. A good video all in all. ^^

[@CaptainKotetsu]

I love Candice’s design but her character is meh. But, to be fair, only a few of the Sternritter had enough time to get developed, so whatevs.

[@Jeikobu]

I don't know how accurate this is, but a personal theory of mine that I loosely had before the anime, and it got cemented more after Candice went down in the anime regarding Vollständig is that their shrift acts like a store of power for the technique. Given Letzt Stil basically overloads and burns out the quincy, Vollständig has to be affecting them differently, and given most of them seem to be more like the quincy is 'wearing' their power in some form, it seems to not be totally entering them in the same way. Candice I see as not throttling the power output at all, at least in the anime, as we basically see her in her Vollständig from the moment she uses it against Ichigo, to the fight against Byakuya where she runs dry. I think most others have either had training time to increase their store of 'fuel' per say for the technique, or know how to keep from using that much power all at once. Despite how destructive Bambi's explosions are, because of how the power works, each of her 'shots' probably doesn't need to be all that powerful individually as it is using the reshi of the target as the bomb fuel. Mind you, this is all purely a theory of mine with no real standing other than my own observations, and as noted, Candice is the only one to have Vollständig just run out like that, so she is the most circumstantial evidence to this.

[@OfficialDarkSoulMusic]

I've always considered Liltotto a savage. Her small unassuming form is one of the big shonen tropes when it comes to battle manga.

[@LordNexusTheFir]

Attack Power 1. Bambi 2. Candice, she did spin the block in silence & 1 shot Kenpachi had him cooked while they killed his men for free so she aint no waterfall chasing scrub or a fink ya dig. 3. Liltotto, she literally 1 shots with her mouth, that mouth do work! 4. Meninas 5. Giselle Physical Strength 1. Liltotto 2. Meninas 3. Candice 4. Bambietta 5. Giselle Durability 1. Liltotto 2. Candice she took Ichigo new attack & only lost an arm instead of just dying. 3. Giselle she has no defense but can just fix herself. 4. Meninas 5. Bambietta Intelligence 1. Liltotto 2. Bambietta she knew when to use certain attacks & when to flee. 3. Giselle, "I got a zombie army & u cant harm me, who do u voodoo bitch" 😏 4. Meninas 5. Candice Kubo dont know wtf he be talking about make your own calculations on who do what with what u see in battle.

[@Vernal_the_Oryx]

GiGi should have been #1 she's obviously amazing. Yes I'm playing favorites.

[@animesubya]

I feel Giselle is the strongest, if not the second strongest. First, to kill her someone would need to harm her and in doing so her blood goes everywhere. When that happens, she can command the people who has her blood on them. Secondly, she can take control of basically anyone. Depending on who she wants, it can get slightly difficult. But having an army is very useful. Maybe they can't physically do damage to who they are targeting but they can exhaust them. And as mentioned, she can restore them. However she does need to be picky when it comes to which captain she should control. Yes every captain is strong in their own right but some are definitely weaker than others. Ones that would give her the best chance of success would be Shunsui, Kenpachi, Byakuya, and maybe Ukitake. Which again poses another problem. Those captains are extremely strong and would require A LOT to take them down. Even a zero squad member. As of now we don't know whether they are alive or dead. If she went up and took control of one or all, it would be over for the soul society. And of course, it's always extremely helpful when you can heal yourself and others. Overall, she has an extremely strong power and definitely used it to her advantages

[@procow2274]

Maybe hes just messing with us

[@karnage9685]

I personally think liltoto would win quite easily, especially when 3 of them are mentally unstable 💀. Liltoto is intelligent, pragmatic calm and collected and has a pretty useful shrift.

Hey Mr.Tommo,, long time fan. Question. what are your other favourite mangas/animes ? besides Bleach of course hahahah.

[@madelynepryorvenom]

Kubo answers confuse me sometimes how is Bambi so low in combat she was shown to be proficient in swordsmanship plus she has to have some physical strength because she was able to bisect several soul reapers with one swing of her sword I guess kubo forgot about that lol

[@Kal911]

Several captains? No captain, just a lot of nobodies.

[@madelynepryorvenom]

My mistake I meant to say several soul reapers

[@griffin9749]

The Bambis were being ranked based on hand to hand combat and blut type shit. I'm pretty sure blut is like that Quincy energy flowing through veins. If it is, than I don't think we've seen her fight hand to hand or use blut so it's not unreasonable for her to rank low in those categories. She mainly uses swords or range based reishi attacks.

[@griffin9749]

​​@@Kal911Shinji? Komamura? They Might not be true soul reapers but they're still captain level

[@Kal911]

@@griffin9749 komamura had his bankai stolen and hirako is not considerable because: 1) his bankai was unusable 2) compatibility, her powers is one of the few who can ignore his shikai power.

[@WizardTiefling]

Lil toto such a cute name

[@marctm7614]

It's a little strange to hear you say Äs Nödt is physically useless, he had no issue with Byakuya's own lauded physicality with his Blüt. He punched straight through him with his bare hand, no sold his Zanpakutō and was easily fast enough to tag him directly multiple times. That's not some physically useless, or solely ability reliant character, and I'm not sure how you even got that impression. It's confusing and blatantly false according to the portrayal of Blüt and the Sternritter in general.

[@doubleh3978]

Liltotto is one of my absolute favourite quincies, i just love her whimsical power and the fact that she is one of those strange but strong characters done right in my opinion.

[@qorv4973]

I think hand-to hand is simply technique and blut is defenses. The girls with ranged techniques are lower but have very potent attacks being glass cannons.

[@Gigawolf1]

When discussing a Sternritter's Blood-Equipped Ants (where do you get those translations from?) it's important to remember that it can be used for either offense or defense, with the two being incompatible. If one of the Sternritter has a Schrift that boosts their offense (eg. Meninas), they could use their Blut defensively to be balanced or stack the Schrift & offensive Blut to deal ridiculous damage

[@nataliawineland34]

I think liltotos wit is what makes her the strongest

[@jahirgalvan5873]

I believe Liltotto to be the strongest because of her ability to improve her skill set by eating people plus she’s the most intelligent of the 5. She’s the only to have survived on her on wit, Giselle survived because of Liltotto’s intervention.

[@alexmartin3143]

I thought the one who popped vohlstandig was but she gets eaten by one of the other ones. So now i have no idea…
