Well true but for some reason, high tier hollows like Grimmjow doesn't have shinigami physiology listedIt likely applies to Arrancar and Vizard’s as well given they possess Shinigami physiology.
There is also evidence to the contrary of Yammy>Uluqiorra.We should apply logic when scaling, otherwise, everyone would end up scaling to everyone. For example, Ulquiorra is weaker than Yammy, as confirmed by multiple sources, and he was getting bullied by eyepatch-on Zaraki. So how can anyone claim that Ulquiorra scales to true-power Shikai Zaraki (4A), two arcs later, when he couldn’t even be argued to be above restricted Arrancar-arc Zaraki? We should use scaling first, not some statements here and there.
Also, I don't find databook-like sources about the Bleach series very reliable. Some sources say that all Espada are Vasto Lords. But we all know that's not true. At the very least, we know that Aaroniero Arruruerie is a Menos Grande.
- According to Q&A #553 by Tite Kubo on his fansite "Klub Outside", an Espada's aspect of death corresponds to their number; thus, Nelliel's aspect of death was "sacrifice", the same as that of Harribel. This directly contradicts Bleach: Brave Souls, in which it is shown that Nelliel's aspect of death is lamentation. Meanwhile, BLEACH Rebirth of Souls shows "sacrifice" as Nelliel's aspect of death in her character trailer—which is consistent with the answer provided on "Klub Outside."
There is a feature that is overlooked a lot about Arrancars. They can do Partial Resurrection. Just like Grimmjow did when he cut Askin's gift balls. Vasto Lord Ichigo was able to transform his hand and hold Lanza Del Relampago.And then what cements it is Ichigo quite literally crushing and dispelling Lanza, which is stronger than Gran Rey which is stronger than Oscuras which is 10x R2 Ulq’s normal cero/AP output….with one hand/claw
During FKT, Ichigo was mentally nerfed, this was stated by Kubo. Due to the mental nerf, his Hollow Mask state was weakened. The fact that the eyes went black while in Hollow Mask proves this. The eyes turned black only for a short time when he was able to fight Aizen, but that was also very short-lived. Also, covering the entire body with hollow power causes a much greater increase than just having a hollow mask on the face. Another proof of the Mental Nerf throughout the arc is when Isshin tells Ichigo during the training in the dangai dimension that he can't focus on his zanpakutou.For point 1.) Striped Mask Ichigo was constantly wavering, but Full Hollow Ichigo might not scale above the peak Striped Mask Ichigo (the one that was able to damage and wound Aizen…the one who Aizen said has ‘magnificent’ reiatsu and said potentially could’ve killed him if he struck right).
We know that Hollow Zangetsu was still in Full Hollow form in Ichigo’s inner world and Ichigo draws on the current power of his inner hollow. Usually he was wavering but in those moments against Aizen he was fully resolved and possibly tapping into the ‘full power’ (air quotes) of his Hollow Zan spirit.
Uryu stated that SE Uluqiorra was stronger than anyone he had ever seen. The same goes for SE Uluqiorra, even though he didn't see Yamamoto and Unohana fighting. I don't know where it says that Aizen used 1/3 strength kido against Komamura. But Aizen's 1/3 should still be somewhere in tier 4. At worst, SE Uluqiorra's physical AP and Durability would scale to Aizen's 1/3 strength kido. According to the other things I've mentioned, it would be more correct to get physical AP-Dura directly to 4-A, but I'm writing this in case it's not accepted.2.) With the Uryu point, he never sensed Yama or Unohana in a battle ready sense or where they were exerting any spiritual energy. As for Aizen, he used some power, but he had the line of ‘it’s hard not to crush an ant when you step on it’ or something like that, meaning he was purposefully holding himself back as much as possible to not kill anyone. The most devastating attack he did was a Hado 90 at 1/3 power which ended up doing less damage to Komamura than Aizen’s sword slash did to Komamura’s Bankai…against a stronger Komamura, highlighting how suppressed he was.
I don't think they are Squad 0 level after going through the training and rituals. They already take those with that level of power with them. Since they are strong, it would be easier for them to go through this training. In the novel, it says that he was invited directly because of his power. If it was stated that he was invited because of his talent, it would be thought that he would be at that level as a result of the training.Won’t touch on point 3 cuz I haven’t read the novel, just some of the scaling. Only thing I will say is that Squad 0 are likely 4-A (scaling to the Squad 0 level of 4-A and not the Gremmy upscale) after they go through their soul king enhanced training methods and rituals. But I haven’t read the novel to see the context on if Kenpachi 7 could and should upscale from Gremmy too due to chain scaling
There seemed to be something in the series that proved Full Hollow Zangetsu>Quincy Zangetsu. I'll look into it again.And for point 4.) Ichigo didn’t have to fight the Full Hollow Zangetsu to learn Dangai, he has to fight the Full Hollow Zangetsu fused with Quincy Zangetsu. We don’t really know how fusion works in Bleach but it’s likely an entirely different realm of power than QZ and HZ individually
Yes, Barragan stated that Aizen made him stronger even as he died. "You will regret making me stronger."I distinctly remember Barragan saying he was at his strongest during the Fake Karakura Town arc, am I mistaken?
Plus, there are some things that imply that Ikomikidomoe got stronger after his fights with Barragan.
The panel where Uryu says Zaraki is as strong as Vasto Lord. The correct translation is referring to the power increase, not the power level.Can you provide the mistranslation you talked about earlier?
No lol, can you actually provide the scan... I want to see if your translation is correct lmaoThe panel where Uryu says Zaraki is as strong as Vasto Lord. The correct translation is referring to the power increase, not the power level.
I couldn't find the scan.No lol, can you actually provide the scan... I want to see if your translation is correct lmao
I couldn't find the scan.
I brought it up by mentioning that it was a scan that people used to say there was an espada stronger than Uluqiorra. Because I had a feeling someone would come out and say it. I felt the Spiritual Pressurethen why are you using it to argue, it's just hearsay at that point..... I'll try and find it myself later and translate it to clear up confusion regarding the scan tho
Yeah but you didn't debunk it tho... you just mentioned hearsay...I brought it up by mentioning that it was a scan that people used to say there was an espada stronger than Uluqiorra. Because I had a feeling someone would come out and say it. I felt the Spiritual Pressure![]()
I pointed out that Uryu's words in the manga and the novel contradicted each other. I said that I had heard from someone else that the translation was wrong.Yeah but you didn't debunk it tho... you just mentioned hearsay...
Yeah… hearsay… as I’ve been sayingI pointed out that Uryu's words in the manga and the novel contradicted each other. I said that I had heard from someone else that the translation was wrong.
Yeah that’s pretty blatant![]()
I can post it for you @Arc7Kuroi @Apollonir.Scale
二人とも、つい先刻交差点で見た時とは、比べものにならないほど霊圧が高まっている。「こんなデタラメな霊圧……暴走した黒崎並みじゃないか……!」悪魔のようなツノ付き仮面をつけた戦友の姿を思い出し、石田の背筋に寒気が走った。激しく移動しながら闘っているようで、空間そのものを切り裂く勢いで、あちらこちらから霊圧の衝突が続いている。
Both of their spiritual pressures have increased to a level much higher to when I saw them at the intersection just a moment ago.
"This is a ridiculous spiritual pressure... it's on par with a rampaging Kurosaki...!"
Recalling the image of his comrade wearing a horned mask like a demon, chills ran down Ishida’s spine.
It seems they're fighting while moving violently, and with a force that tears through space itself, clashes of spiritual pressure continue erupting from all directions.
more specifically, what is important:
こんな = this kind of / such
霊圧 = spiritual pressure
並み = on the level of / on par with
It's not talking about the increase, Ishida concede the new spiritual pressure they are showing it's on par with Ichigo back then.
And mind you, this is like mid-novel, they even get stronger than this by the end.
My argument was never about the claim that seeing an opponent is itself enough to know how strong they are. It was your claim that Orihime couldn't sense Spiritual Pressure because she never supposedly showed the ability to do so. I provided evidence to the contrary of her sensing the Spiritual Pressure emanating from Uryu; a Quincy who doesn't emit Spiritual Pressure in the same way as Shinigami do, and you proceeded to not respond to my argument and instead ghosted it.When we discussed it months ago, didn't you say that seeing the opponent was enough to know how strong he was?
I just learned that this scan mentions Reiatsu. I don't think Reiatsu=power. There are contradictory situations.![]()

Even the injured 1-armed Base Grimmjow was fast enough to react to Hollow Mask Shinji's cero. Shinji said he wouldn't hold back. He stated that he wouldn't use both Hollow Mask and hold back against Grimmjow's weakened form. If Grimmjow had used Ressurection at the end, it is possible that the situation would have been reversed. You can say that this is just a possibility, but in a ressurection situation where he is not injured and has 2 arms, he would clearly be stronger and faster. Shikai Shinji can fight Gin, and it has been stated that Gin is stronger than Halibel. It has been stated by Tosen that Hollow Mask is a greater power-up than Bankai.1. It cannot be proven that each of the three top Espada are dramatically stronger than one another. It would require you to assume premises not explicitly stated by the series, so it's questionable and up to interpretation if your assertions are more probable compared to other theories that can explain away the differences. And if we have direct statements of them being relative, that is demonstrably more supportive of them being relative compared to any conjecture we could introduce to contradict the interpretation.
Byakuya felt the need to back down against Candice. Even if he could defeat Candice, he couldn't stand to be hit by her. He felt the need to use Bankai against Robert. Robert was weaker than Meninas and Liltoto. Yoruichi, on the other hand, was able to outsmart Askin after Aushwelen. Askin then became invulnerable to damage with her own schrift ability and outsmarted her. Pre-Aushwelen Askin is clearly superior to Liltotto, Meninas, Candice and Robert.2. We don't know for certain if that is true, outside of interpretative stances. If we are given a credible statement that all three of these individuals are similarly strong, and it remains without blatant, logically irreconcilable contradiction, it would hold as being true. Again, introducing conjecture to supposedly contradict the interpretation is always going to be less supported compared to just accepting it as fact as you're appealing to a basis of unfounded skepticism vs accepting a blatant statement as being blatant.
NoSo I guess the Shikai RGs will be updated to 4A later?
Where is it stated that 3 months have passed? It is stated that the Hogyoku will wake up in the winter and that they have a 4-month preparation period. Then Aizen attacks early. He attacked before 4 months and the others were surprised by this situation. We only know that 1 month has passed, and that is that Ichigo has been training with the Vaizards for 1 month. When Yamamoto told Toshiro, Orihime and Rangiku that we have a 4-month preparation period, it was while Ichigo's 1st month of training with the Vaizards was completed. It is stated in the 223rd chapter of the manga. Aizen cannot gather his army in less than 4 months. But we saw it in the series. The events happened much earlier than the 4-month period Mayuri predicted.Apollonir, do you not realize that characters level of strength can change over time? Like when you talk about Grimmjow vs Shinji to say Grimmjow is above Halibel, you're using feats that in universe happen 3 months apart. Or when you downplay Halibel with Toshiro you bringup the Toshiro vs Yammy fight. Again, that happened 3 months ago in universe. Like, none of those scaling chains work because you can't prove the characters stayed at the same levels of strength. Shinji and Toshiro aren't Yamamoto or Shunsui who are stated to stay at similar levels of strength between FKT and TYBW. You can't just presuppose that without evidence.
Also, Espada Barragan being stronger than old man Hollow Barragan is not the same as Espada Barragan being stronger than his youthful prime self. No where is it stated that Espada Barragan got stronger than when he was younger fighting Ikomikidomoe. Especially when we know he lazed around due to boredom in his old age, and we've seen how not staying up with rigorous training makes you weaker (as per Yoruichi). Furthermore, in CFYOW it's not even talking about Barragan's AP when it's talking about his superiority, it's talking about his Respira. Which is pure hax that is explicitly above himself.
There is nuance to the series' scaling that you're ignoring by far over-generalizing the scaling in your assumptions.
It's as much of an assumption as any interpretation you have presented. You believe we aren't provided any evidence that proves these characters have gotten significantly stronger throughout the series. Arc countered this proposition by showing evidence of them training for the sole purpose of readying themselves for war. It's by logical inference that, without contradiction, they would have gotten stronger as a result of this training, which would explain the differences. And to address the notion that we don't know exactly the training Toshiro was doing, we do know the intent of the training Toshiro was doing. It was supposed to strengthen him for the upcoming battle with the Arrancar, which is all we need to know, to understand what results would be conveyed by said training; gaining further power and utilization with his abilities.Will Shinji's Shikai state's power exceed his Hollow Mask state while fighting Grimmjow in 4 months? This is just an assumption. It wasn't even shown what kind of training Toshiro did during the transition to FKT. Besides, it hadn't even been 4 months.
I think that an higher Reiryoku can nullify weaker abilities. However, in Bleach, there are certain abilities that are simply built differently and completely ignore that rule.@Infinite9Luck Btw could you give your input in this CRT?

Bleach: About the powernull system
Currently we have this in the soul physiology page Limited Power Nullification (Reiryoku can null the abilities and techniques of those massively weaker than the user) But notice the scan shows that it's just a battle between soul reapers? So the powernull should only apply to shinigamis by...vsbattles.com
