BAN-KAI! Bleach General Discussion

Actually I think Ulquiorra is the strongest espada... But I don't really want to discuss it now
The take that Ulquiorra is the strongest espada has set Bleach scaling as a whole back multiple years, imo. There's so many things that need to be rationalized and/or outright ignored in the process of making it consistent that what you're left with afterwards is an almost completely different manga, in terms of scaling. It's a mess.

I do think Ulquiorra packs up Harribel in his second release, though.
 
The fan translation for Gerard is wrong. He doesn’t have a ’core’. Kubo never mentioned that for anyone interested who is still reading this post at this point:

He simply said if Kenpachi was capable of destroying his Quincy Cross, Kenpachi would have died.
 
Still weak. Soifon managed to damage baraggan with bankai. What's the point? Soifon nuke > Ulquiorra nuke.

Max res Yammy > Res Stark > Res Baraggan > Res Haribel > 2nd Res Ulquiorra.
Worst is his growth would be less than characters like grimjow and I like ulquiorra lot more than grimjow.
How you came to this conclusion is funny.

How did you confirm that?
 
Only reason Ulquiorra feels stronger than the top 3 Espada (Yammy being 0 was a psyop it never happened) is because their fights were subpar
 
I'll go as far as saying:
Base Harribel puts up a fight vs SE Ulquiorra, and Res Harribel seals the deal, and beats him, because her Res. is a very very very minor stat amp.


I agree ngl i his second release he prolly the strongest pre timeskip apart from cien/true form granz
Ok what the f*ck...

Yammy and stark might be stronger but I can’t see harribel and Barragan being stronger than segunda ulquiorra

Out of the 4 highest ranked espada, Harribel is the only one that you can even remotely argue that SE Ulquiorra might beat because of the SAFWY statement from Cien that puts Respira (and Starrk’s wolves and Yammy) above Ulquiorra’s Lanza.

You can argue that Ulquiorra’s statement about there being 3 espada stronger than him could apply to their released states, and that the espada he’s referring to are Yammy, Starrk, and Barragan, rather than Starrk, Barragan, and Harribel. That’s as generous as you can be to him.
 
For someone who was considered the king of hueco Mundo u would think he’s much greater than what he was portrayed to be maybe arrancars and hollows just aren’t on the lvl as soul reapers and Quincy.
He lost to them track-starring, maybe Barragan should've picked up a ******* Cero or Sonido or something.

Personally think it would have been cool if barragan was on the same lvl as Yamamoto or atleast close and Aizen using tricks to beat Him like he did with Yamamoto. I know this might mess up with the plot of the separate respecting him cause of his strength but overall it does feel like arrancars are the weakest race although they are one of the coolest.

I think it makes sense that the arrancar as a whole are the weakest compares to the Shinigami/Quincy.
The Shinigami have had over a thousand years to learn,create,document and just teach evert next generations the tricks of the old one,and they are also in the most "dominant" position of the 3 by the start of Bleach.
The Quincies have been preparing for war for a thousand years.
The Arrancars are a fairly recent phenomen in hollow history(at least in terms of large numbers) and Hollows as whole are fairly self destructive outside of a few,and even fewer are the type to just spread the Knowledge of "here's the manual of how to get strong".
 
Klub outside:

Q: In the Thousand Year Bloody War arc, I believe that Commander Komamura became like a human due to using the human transformation technique, but was the reason why he suddenly turned into a wolf after the battle because the time limit for this technique expired?
Or was it because Commander Komamura himself was filled and overwhelmed by the desire for revenge?If the correct reason is the latter, do you agree with me that Komamura wouldn't have turned into a wolf if he kept his good/benevolent intentions, such as "protecting Soul Society"?


K: Mostly yes."Humanization Technique" is a technique/technique that allows you to maintain your human form while bearing the curse of your grandfather/great-grandfather.The moment the object of the humanization technique becomes as selfish as Sajin's desire for revenge, his grandfather's curse is forcibly applied and he transforms from his human form into a monster.
