BAN-KAI! Bleach General Discussion

According to Cien, who has knowledge on all the Espada, the 3 strongest things (excluding himself and Aizen) in the Espada were Yammy’s full power Res, Starrk’s wolves, and Barragan’s Respira. So we know Yammy, Starrk, and Barragan all have techniques or forms above Ulquiorra (consistent with Ulq saying 3 people are above him). Whether or not you think Halibel beats SE Ulq is highly debatable, honestly it’s a pretty good in verse debate because I don’t think there’s a clear cut answer, both have good arguments.
I personally think Halibel is above Segunada Etapa Ulquiorra, but that's just me.
 
I looked back at Ichigo's W/L rate post-TBIM and I can proudly say that people saying Ichigo is carried by genetics is on something.

1. Ichigo vs Bambis
Conditions: Ichigo held back
Result: Inconclusive due to interference from Yhwach, would've obviously won if he was trying to

2. Ichigo vs Yhwach (Round 2)
Conditions: Yhwach did not have the Almighty (first fight), none for fight 2
Result: Ichigo won fight 1 mid diff, round 2 Yhwach won low diff

3. Ichigo vs Uryu
Conditions: Ichigo was mentally nerfed
Result: Uryu won mid diff, although was implied to be inferior to Ichigo stat-wise and could've lost had he gone all out.

These fights have yet to be animated, so the outcomes are not set in stone.

4. Ichigo vs Askin
Conditions: None
Result: Askin won low diff via The Deathdealing

5. Ichigo vs Yhwach (Round 3)
Conditions: Ichigo had help from Orihime and planned to use Yhwach's reiatsu to awaken Horn of Salvation
Result: Yhwach won low-mid diff (He needed to use The Almighty to break his Zanpakuto, however, he very quickly dispatched Ichigo)

Ichigo vs Yhwach (Final Round)
Conditions: Aizen was occupying Yhwach with Kyoka Suigetsu and Uryu had the silver arrow
Result: Ichigo won mid diff (Had he not have anything go in his favor, he would've lost just the same as he did before)

Some people would look at this and still get mad because of Ichigo losing. You just can't win with some fanbases.
 
I personally think Halibel is above Segunada Etapa Ulquiorra, but that's just me.
I think they should be at least relative but I would see her as the stronger one by context and statements.

Also, I just believe that every Espada should be equal or stronger than the precedent one in Resurrección. As an example, Nnoitra would be equal or stronger in Base than Grimmjow's Panthera. I could explain all the reasons behind this scaling chain of mine but I'm too lazy as of now.
 
Kisuke gets dunked on let's be real

New Episode means nothing to me, Uryu was holding back like a mf and Renji gonna be a bum once more

Q&A Klub Outside

Q: When Hitsugaya faced Aizen in the Central 46 Compound, Aizen defeated Hitsugaya but did not attack Unohana or Isane and instead moved to the Sokyoku.

Was it because Aizen thought he could not win against Unohana?

A: I don’t think he believed he couldn’t win, but he was certain it would require a great deal of effort.
Oh yeah , some fanboy really think Aizen was scared of Unohana and cant win against her , finally take thier L.

Bro exaggerating her abilities

I love my girl Unohana but Aizen would body that hag no cap 🥱

But fr though you think this can be used to argue that Arrancar Arc Base Aizen is stronger than Soul Society self?

Might make sense if you think about him prepping for the war plus shoving the Hogyoku in his chest
 
I think some of you are forgetting that Bankai Renji (almost) fought against Soul King Yhwach in the manga. It's possible that that still happens in the anime, but this time, Renji actually fights him, which would automatically put Bankai Renji above almost every character in the franchise.

Anyway, I should stop here because Arc is right, we just have to wait and see what happens.
Fighting him doesn’t automatically put renji up there. I'm warning you. Don't follow that route for the better.

Yama above other, each sz member above gotei all would still stand. It's just uryu and renji's feat gonna be revalued.
Instead Gremmy 's scaking might become parameter for others

Q660
十の入れ替わりって藍染が決めているのでしょうか?それとも剣ハみたく決闘で勝った方に藍染が数字を与えるとか?

A660
どちらのパターンもあります。

Translation ChatGTP

Q660
Did Aizen change the members of the Espada at his own discretion? Or, like the title of Kenpachi, did Aizen assign the number to the winner of a duel?

A660
Both options are possible.
You telling me Yammy fought Ulquiorra and everyone else for the position of Espada 0 but for some reason lets himself be abuse and spank around by Ulquiorra? I wouldn’t be surprised if these two were doing the nasty bend over prison style in secret. YammyxUlquiorra must abusive relationship in Latino origin in Bleach.

Albeit he shouldn’t be so high like people are arguing now.
But Renji isn’t bam anymore.
Though weaker, he should still be able to compete against high tier captains.
 
Even if it's true ,it change nothing.

We already knew that new scenes would be in the anime that wouldn't be in the manga, we already knew that the staff were giving Kubo's ideas and he decide to include them or not .

As long as Kubo keep overseeing things, TYBW anime is still canon.
 
Fighting him doesn’t automatically put renji up there.
That depends on how the fight goes.
I'm warning you. Don't follow that route for the better.
I'm just letting people know the possibility exists, which is why we should wait and see.
Yama above other, each sz member above gotei all would still stand.
That depends on what happens (plus, we already have Kenpachi is Can't Fear Your Own World being far stronger than Yamamoto and Squad 0).
It's just uryu and renji's feat gonna be revalued.
Why would Uryu's feats be reevaluated? His scaling pretty consistenly puts him above Yamamoto and above Squad 0.

For Renji, we just have to wait and see.
Instead Gremmy 's scaking might become parameter for others
That would be fun.
 
I think they should be at least relative but I would see her as the stronger one by context and statements.
Cool.
Also, I just believe that every Espada should be equal or stronger than the precedent one in Resurrección. As an example, Nnoitra would be equal or stronger in Base than Grimmjow's Panthera. I could explain all the reasons behind this scaling chain of mine but I'm too lazy as of now.
That's an interesting thought. What's your reasoning for it?

My personal headcanon is that every Espada's base form is stronger than the previous Espada's Ressurecion. Why? Uh, good question.
 
I’m about to end this man’s whole carrier…


Kubo actually said it.

Either Kubo is trolling or just want to make the manga relevant as much as the anime because Man has said it multiple times that he is adding things that wasn't in the manga in the anime.

You know Kubo can be funny at times with his answers
 
While we're on the subject of Espada, I'm thinking of making a CRT for the Arrancar saga in the future. If you ask me, most characters shouldn't be scaled to Yammy. From what I've seen on this wiki, Low tier Quincy>Espada is taken, but this is wrong. Should I release the CRT when Tybw part 3 is finished, or can I release it whenever I want since it's just the Arrancar saga?
 
Does Grimmjow get a speed upgrade? Ichigo (who was running) lost track of him while Grimmjow was running after Askin.

Well, most Quincy characters straight-up show feats that put them above Top Tier Espadas.
 
Cool.

My personal headcanon is that every Espada's base form is stronger than the previous Espada's Ressurecion. Why? Uh, good question.
The most simple reasoning I can give is just going by Nnoitra statements and Ichigo's feats. I've spent a lot of time justifying my claims in my blogs from another Wiki I work on, but it's all in Spanish and would be so time-consuming to translate everything from there. Also, I don't know if it's allowed to post something from other Wikis here or even mentioning them, so I'll avoid this.

I think that Kubo-sensei is not someone who would give answers without reason. When he answers questions in Klub Outside, I've seen him mention rereading the content of Bleach before responding.

Of course, at that time, Aizen had not yet obtained Urahara's Hogyoku. However, Aizen already had Kyoka Suigetsu, which he had previously used against Unohana. She would likely be affected by Kyoka Suigetsu the moment she fought Aizen. But with her experience, Unohana probably wouldn't lose to Base Aizen as easily as when Base Aizen defeated the entire Gotei 13 during the Arrancar Arc.

Great deal of effort means aizen would face difficulties even with his shikai.
That would have been same for yamamoto. If his bankai's destructibility didn’t handicap him.

 
Well, most Quincy characters straight-up show feats that put them above Top Tier Espadas.
For example, which feats?

If you say Byakuya, I don't find Byakuya's scaling in this wiki correct.

Kid Toshiro also felt the need to open Bankai even against Base Yammy. Since Harribel is holding him back, Toshiro doesn't scale. He only scales to Harribel with the attack he gets from the clouds.

While Rojo used a hollow mask against Starrk, Rojo use Bankai against Mask de Masqulin. HM>Bankai

Shinji used a hollow mask against 1-Armed Grimmjow and used Shikai against Bambietta.

Base Uluqiorra Shikai overpowered Urahara. In this wiki, Urahara is scaled to Aizen, but this is also an incorrect scaling. Urahara's Shikai in all vs's is at the same power level. Until he opens Bankai against Askin, he is always at the same level.

Shikai Shunsui can barely defeat an off guard Starrk with his own shikai hax. If Starrk wasn't off guard, he wouldn't have lost to Shunsui who doesn't use Bankai. There's nothing that shows that Tybw Shunsui>Arrancar Saga Shunsui. It could even be AS Shikai Shunsui>TYBW Shikai Shunsui. Because the character lost an eye. Yes, it's not as big as Grimmjow losing an arm, but this should be considered a nerf. Considering that Shunsui is a lazy character, why would this guy train to get stronger between Arrancar Saga and Tybw? Even if he did train, how much of a difference would it make? I remember the writer saying in an interview that people like Shunsui don't improve much with training. It's like someone wrote this in the general discussion section.

Wonderweis can damage a younger Yamamoto who has 2 arms. Discroll can't even scratch 1-armed Yamamoto despite using Chojiro's Bankai. I remember Aizen saying that Wonderweis is at the power level of an espada.
 
If you say Byakuya, I don't find Byakuya's scaling in this wiki correct.
Could you expand on this?
Kid Toshiro also felt the need to open Bankai even against Base Yammy.
Base arrancar saga Toshiro is scaled as being unquantifiably above himself from the soul soceity arc, this doesn't change our scaling
Since Harribel is holding him back, Toshiro doesn't scale
Explicitly noted on his profile that he only scales to casual base Harribel, again doesn't change our scaling
While Rojo used a hollow mask against Starrk, Rojo use Bankai against Mask de Masqulin. HM>Bankai
Cheers Mask gets his multi-cont scaling from brutalizing Bankai Kensei and no-selling his attacks, both masked Rose and Kensei have higher A.P than that Mask per the current profiles, so this is also exactly the same
Shinji used a hollow mask against 1-Armed Grimmjow and used Shikai against Bambietta
I'm ngl to you whatsoever the claim that Shinji finds he need to resort to hax to get around Bambi while he thinks he can overpower Grimmjow does not in any way make Grimmjow seem stronger than Bambi, this wouldn't matter anyway since Shinji doesn't have any scaling to Bambi and even if he did, he simply could've gotten stronger, as several characters do throughout the series
Base Uluqiorra Shikai overpowered Urahara
No he didn't, he deflected a single attack that Kisuke states he intentionally made smimilar to Yammy's ceros, Base Ulq > Base Yamy is nothing crazy
Urahara's Shikai in all vs's is at the same power level. Until he opens Bankai against Askin, he is always at the same level.
You've asserted this without any reasoning to prove this whatsoever, anyway you'd be objectively wrong as Kisuke almost gets his arm cleaved off by Ichigo's very first Getsuga before the soul soceity arc, So unless you think Kisuke is capped out at like SS arc Ikkaku/Pre-Bankai Renji level, then yeah, Kisuke explicitly gets stronger
Shikai Shunsui can barely defeat an off guard Starrk with his own shikai hax. If Starrk wasn't off guard, he wouldn't have lost to Shunsui who doesn't use Bankai.
As noted on Shunsui's profile Unmasked explicitly tells us Shikai Shunsui exceeded Starrk's full powers
There's nothing that shows that Tybw Shunsui>Arrancar Saga Shunsui. It could even be AS Shikai Shunsui>TYBW Shikai Shunsui. Because the character lost an eye. Yes, it's not as big as Grimmjow losing an arm, but this should be considered a nerf. Considering that Shunsui is a lazy character, why would this guy train to get stronger between Arrancar Saga and Tybw? Even if he did train, how much of a difference would it make? I remember the writer saying in an interview that people like Shunsui don't improve much with training. It's like someone wrote this in the general discussion section.
As also explicitly noted on his profile we don't hold Shunsui as having gotten stronger after the timeskip, so you're just agreeing with the current scaling...again
Wonderweis can damage a younger Yamamoto who has 2 arms. Discroll can't even scratch 1-armed Yamamoto despite using Chojiro's Bankai. I remember Aizen saying that Wonderweis is at the power level of an espada
Well yes...it's almost like Wonderweiss is curently scaled as being far above Driscoll
 
Could you expand on this?
I was going to explain this on CRT but let me say it now. Off guard can hit Yammy. Later, he can hit Yammy who was cut by Zaraki. Zaraki cut off a lot of Yammy's body parts and fingers. I also think Byakuya's Senbon should be considered as durability negation.
Base arrancar saga Toshiro is scaled as being unquantifiably above himself from the soul soceity arc, this doesn't change our scaling
I don't get what makes Toshiro seem stronger than before.
Explicitly noted on his profile that he only scales to casual base Harribel, again doesn't change our scaling
I think Toshiro shouldn't even scale to Base Harribel in that battle since Harribel isn't serious.
No he didn't, he deflected a single attack that Kisuke states he intentionally made smimilar to Yammy's ceros, Base Ulq > Base Yamy is nothing crazy
Uluqiorra believes that he can defeat Urahara and Yoruichi in a possible encounter. Also, an argument was used on Yammy's profile regarding Pesquisa, but Yammy cannot use Pesquisa well. According to Yammy, Uluqiorra, who uses Pesquisa better, describes Shikai Urahara and Yoruichi's power as trash.
As noted on Shunsui's profile Unmasked explicitly tells us Shikai Shunsui exceeded Starrk's full powers
This is the first time I've heard this Unmasked statement. But I'm sure he means not only Ap but also Hax. He defeats Starrk, who is already off guard, with his shikai hax. No one is better than Shunsui in the color game Shunsui makes with his shikai. If Shikai Shunsui was a power surpassing Starrk, it would be expected that he would be able to defeat him at the very beginning. But even Starrk, who was distracted, was able to react to his attack at the last moment. Shunsui saw Starrk's power as a threat and wanted to defeat him immediately.

My guess is that this statement covers Bankai Shunsui. Even if it specifically refers to the Shikai state, the hax of his Shikai should also be included.

Also, in the manga, Starrk didn't even use his wolves against Shunsui and it was stated that Starrk earned the number 1 spot thanks to his wolves.
 
Off guard can hit Yammy. Later, he can hit Yammy who was cut by Zaraki. Zaraki cut off a lot of Yammy's body parts and fingers
I think you're trying to say Yammy is weaker after Zaraki initially cuts him right? If so we don't have any evidence for this, both Byakuya and Zaraki maim Yammy's face pretty badly when they attack him at the same time, Zaraki finds Byakuya a worthy rival at this time which implies their comparability.
I don't get what makes Toshiro seem stronger than before
He trains...it's not a quantifiable difference he's just stronger because we know he trained
I think Toshiro shouldn't even scale to Base Harribel in that battle since Harribel isn't serious.
Again, he does not.
According to Yammy, Uluqiorra, who uses Pesquisa better, describes Shikai Urahara and Yoruichi's power as trash.
Ulquiorra did not say this, he denotes it would be specifically challenging for them to engage him while protecting Ichigo, Orihime and Chad, who he does regard as trash, as I mentioned before Kisuke is getting stronger as the story progresses anyway.
the first time I've heard this Unmasked statement. But I'm sure he means not only Ap but also Hax. He defeats Starrk, who is already off guard, with his shikai hax. No one is better than Shunsui in the color game Shunsui makes with his shikai. If Shikai Shunsui was a power surpassing Starrk, it would be expected that he would be able to defeat him at the very beginning. But even Starrk, who was distracted, was

Not necessarily, Shunsui can be stronger without there being an overwhelming difference in stats, they're still roughly comparable, speaking of iro Oni, Shunsui slashes starrk with enough force to sever his ar Starrk only retaining the limb because Iro Oni nerfs the damage, on the other hand when Starrk uses Iro Oni to amp his own attacks it's shown his slashes only lightly damage shunsui (Which is consistent with an off guard Cero only lightly burning Shunsui and Lisa yelling at shunsui for pretending to be hurt by it mind you) and it'sthe Iro Oni damage that's shown to deal any real damage to him, when Shunui uses Iro Oni to amp his attacks Starrk just gets one shot, all this is consistent with the idea that Shunsui is stringer but still roughly comparable to Starrk
Starrk didn't even use his wolves against Shunsui and it was stated that Starrk earned the number 1 spot thanks to his wolves.
No? The only statement we have about Starrk's wolves is Cien calling them one of the top 3 powers of Hueco Mundo outside Aizen and themself, Starrk claims the primera title cause he's just that strong period, possesing superior spiritual power to anyone below him, (these scans were found by Guacamolefletcher not me btw) and unmasked just claims that Starrk displayed power worthy of the primera title generally
I also think Byakuya's Senbon should be considered as durability negation.
Why?
