BAN-KAI! Bleach General Discussion

What's the justification for using SAFWY in scaling?
Kubo supervises it and he gives Narita the ideas for the novel iirc
And the novel has shit like this that directly ties it to the manga imo:
-Soya is the reasons for the seals on Aizens left face being gone
-Cien removed Zarakis eyepatch and I think the Picaros stole it from the ground after. This is why at the end of the novel Zaraki needs a new eyepatch from Mayuri, and why post Timeskip Zaraki has a new eyepatch design.

Besides Yamamoto and Unohana who already scale to EOS characters, the rest you said were struggling to kill Yammy and couldn't beat Starrk.


Aizen and Yamamoto are god tier.


Where they were badly injured by him.


Shinji is EOS.
So like when u say EOS chars that's the typpa people i think about, Yama, Unohana and etc. Not straight up bums who are vaugely stronger then before, so mb ig

Also wasn't talking about EOS Shinji, was talking about FKT Shinji. And u kinda just ignored all the other feats for different FKT chars i provided that would make them outscale Yammy.

Yammy does not scale to Zaraki vro. We know in character he compliments strong opponents (Chars on his lvl) and this is what he says about Max Yammy
Sure there injured, but it's equally likely Zaraki and Byakuya fought as well as having beaten Yammy. Also brother Yammy is missing a whole ass arm vs those two just bleeding.
You just don't believe the statement about Ulq and FH Ichigo so nothing can really convince you. The wiki also treats random arcs as people getting more powerful and I assume you think so too.
?what statement
He is Shunsui equal which is why he vastly outscales Mashiro, who's weaker than Kensei the weakest captain Vizard, two of which Starrk easily defeated.

Ukitake is just inconsistent because of his disease and personality, when he's ok he and Shunsui can fight Yamamoto competitively.
You would have to make the unprovable assumption that his disease kicked in when WW perception blitzes him when he was fine beforehand fighting Stark, also Shunsui is included in that blitz. We see him turn around only after Jushiro is hit and at the same moment/a panel after Jushiro is blitzed. Hollowfied Mashiro just outscales both of them blatantly via feats and nothing suggets Kensei is the weakest Captain Vizard. His scaling is just vauge, cuz Kubo didn't show us what happened between him in Bankai vs WW (We don't know if WW popped Res on him or if Kensei lost to a base WW).

Shunsui and Ukitake have no scaling to Yama, we see in Cour 1 Ukitake is struggling against Cang and Shunsui is struggling against Robert without their Bankais. Don't use their fight against Yama in the SS, it's arguable that Yama held back. Yama would outscale base WW who blitzes these 2, it's more then obv he held back.

yama scale higher one step below the transcending beings he can oneshot captain level characters (the Quincy trio)
 
You obviously didn't read the novels properly, and like I said earlier, your interpretation and translation is ass. But no worries, I'll clear it up one last time since you seem to have missed what the text actually says. Now before i address what the text actually says i will provide a link to the raws, a proper translation and the official BBS translation of safwy here you go:
My translation and urs
Notice how the translations are nearly the same thing and the major diff being is that i didn't translate that last part
which i told u, but seemingly you can't read
Cien is literally mocking the idea that Roca thought copying Ulquiorra's power could kill him. The only power he acknowledges as potentially troublesome is Berserk Hollow Ichigo's. Not Segunda Etapa Ulquiorra's. Just Hollow Ichigo.

And here's the funniest part: we already know Hollow Ichigo absolutely embarrassed Ulquiorra. He ragdolled him, clowned his ultimate attack by flexing his manicure lol. So if Cien says Hollow Ichigo's power might have been annoying to deal with while deliberately excluding Ulquiorra, despite having complete information on both of them through the spirit bugs, then the implication couldn't be more obvious.

Cien simply doesn't take Segunda Etapa Ulquiorra seriously or holds him in high regard compared to the rest names he called.
Telling me I can't read when your putting words into my mouth is funny ASF (insanse strawman btw), once again proving YOU CAN'T READ 😭
I never asserted that Cien thinks Ulquiorra can kill him pls find where i said or implied this. I'll show u what i originally said
First and foremost, at no point in the story does Cien consider Ulquiorra a worthy opponent or even a serious threat. In Volume 2, after Roka fails to kill him by reflecting and attempting to amplify his Gran Rey Cero, Cien starts speculating about what power she might try to copy next that could potentially surpass that attack.

That's why he brings up Yammy, Starrk, and Barragan. He specifically eludes to them as the only Espada whose power could reasonably try to compare to that attack. Notice something important here: Ulquiorra isn't mentioned. Not once. Despite being a former resident of Hueco Mundo just like the others, he doesn't make the cut. Cien even says that nobody in Hueco Mundo besides himself and Aizen possesses power greater than that attack. If Ulquiorra were actually on that level, the first statement would have been the perfect time to mention him. He doesn't. That should already tell you everything.
"Cien says that nobody in Hueco Mundo besides himself and Aizen possesses power greater than that attack. If Ulquiorra were actually on that level, the first statement would have been the perfect time to mention him. He doesn't. That should already tell you everything."

The issue here is he also doesn't mention FH Ichigo. Does this mean the FH Ichigo doesn't surpass those 3 Espada's ULTs? No it doesn't, bc Max Cien is equal to FH Ichigo and therefore FH Ichigo should also surpass those powers. Pay attention to what Cien said when he starts to mention SE Ulquiorra and FH Ichigo
"Did you think I wouldn't know about their transformation and powers?" -ur own translation from the imgur link

He excludes FH Ichigo and SE Ulquiorra, cuz he assumed Roka didn't know about their powers and those 2 aren't common knowledge (SE is a secret form he hid and only used once). It wouldn't make sense for him to mention Ulqs name when mentioning those 3 Espada, because that would be giving Roka a stronger attack to make with her threads.

"Roka instead of copying those 3 Espada's that you 100% know of instead I'm going to tell u about SE Ulquiorra something you probably didn't know"
This is why he says "Did you think I wouldn't know", he doesn't know whether or not Roka knows about SE Ulquiorra. So he's not gonna tell the person who's trying to kill him about a stronger person she could copy.
This is why you can't use the fact he doesn't list SE Ulq with those other Espada and him saying only he and Aizen surpass those Espada's ULTs.

Like u said Cien is guessing what attack she's going to copy next:
-At first he assumes she's going to copy those 3 Espada
-Then he assumes she'd instead go for copying SE Ulquiorra or FH Ichigo

This does directly imply Cien thinks SE Ulquiorra is stronger then those other Espada, bc Cien realizes Roka is trying to kill him with her next attack. So he's going up the ladder of what she could possibly be trying to copy and guess what? SE Ulquiorra is portrayed as higher on it.
It's dumb asl to think to think that Cien would think Roka would copy a weaker attack from SE Ulquiorra instead of a stronger attack from those 3 Espada, so yes Ulquiorra is stronger then Barragan, Stark and Yammy.
The only way to think this doesn't imply Ulquiorra is stronger then the other Espada:
Is to say Cien would assume first she's trying copy those 3 Espada and then go down to copying a weaker Espada
But it doesn't make sense he would wouldn't be jumping downwards, bc Roka is trying to kill him with this next attack (he guessed wrong and she copies Mugetsu instead). So obv he'd try and think of the strongest char's she could copy from. Hence SE Ulquiorra is mentioned afterwards as a higher level then those other 3 Espada.
This is just more proof you didn't read the novels, i am crying.... imagine telling me i am not knowledgeable on this novel and this is what you are saying because roka's GRC is literally his GRC being sent back to him via nel "double it and give it to the next person" ability.
His Cero is being turned into a new Cero by Roka and then fired by her, but ig this is just Semantics
No it doesn't because he is only alluding to their fight (i.e ulquiorra vs ichigo not ulq) that is why ulquiorra is even mentioned in the first place, the main person he was focused on was ichigo, trying to use ulquiorra who was only mentioned because of ichigo is silly
He gives FH Ichigo extra emphasis bc he's stronger then SE Ulquiorra, and what? No he quite literally thinks it's possible she'd by trying to copy SE Ulquiorra as well.
Here's once again ur own translation
"Roka you really thought that if you copied one of those powers"
HE THINKS SHE WOULD'VE COPIED EITHER ONE OF THEM
Your straight up lying he didn't mention SE Ulquiorra only cuz of Ichigo, he mentioned SE Ulquiorra bc he actually thought she'd try and copy SE Ulquiorra instead of those other Espada. That blatantly means he's stronger

If ur going to reply to this don't put words into my mouth again and say i can't read when YOU misread what i originally said😭

He didn't mention Ulq and Ichigo's names at first because he forgot about their existence.
Nothing indicates that he forgot about their existence bruh. He says „did you think i didn‘t know about their transformation and power?“ which does not imply anything you said.
Besides, since Yammy didn't take any precautions against Starrk and Baraggan and prevented the copying of Ulq and VL's powers, this statement implies Ulq and VL >> Starrk, Yammy, Baraggan.
I assume you mean Cien and not yammy? Or am I missing something?
The only one who might have caused trouble is Hollow Ichigo‘s power.

100% Cien thought that the strongest things Rooka could copy were Ulq and VL. That's why he was afraid that when Mugetsu was copied, she might have copied something stronger than Ulq and VL.
Nowhere does it say or imply that Cien thought that.

When the other top 3 espada were named, only Aizens and Ciens power were said to be above that. Thats as blatant as it gets. Saying that he forgot about their existence is just nonsense. Why would he suddenly remember their existence later on? Or why would he forget the existence of the two beings that surpass even Yammy and Starkk? Makes no sense, especially for someone like Cien.


I already said it once but if people are so eager to push this narrative, just open a CRT and see what happens. I feel like this is getting a „no it doesn’t mean that!! yes it does!!“ thingy real quick and i‘d rather not fill up this thread with unnecessary stuff so i‘m letting this topic rest until someone drops a crt.

You got a source for that? Kubo not writing it is already an issue, there are contradictions, and a lot of things in there read like fan-fiction, tbh. The first two aren't necessarily deal breakers but it doesn't help its case.

There are no relevant contradictions, on the contrary, there are lot of canon explanations inside the Novel, there is no such thing as a “fanfiction.”

That has never been a thing; the novel is officially licensed.

The novel explains why Zaraki’s hair is different in the TYBWA/Fullbring arc: Cien cut it. He is the one who removed the bells.
Kubo literally draw Kenpachi like this in the novel himself.

The novel also explains why Aizen is missing some of the seals on him on the TYBWA arc, so 2 arc after this novel, something Kubo took literally from the novel: Azashiro removed them.

The novel explains why Zaraki's eyepatch is different too: Mayuri changed it.

Azashiro and Kuruyashiki are officially canon Kenpachi.

Oryu2Rc.jpeg


The Novel is stated to connect the 17 months blank period, with cover and drawings from Kubo.
Kubo even bothered to draw several drawings of characters that he think are canon, this is just a few, the novel is full of dozens of drawings, drawings relative to the story he accepted.

Bleach: WDNALY was also not written by Kubo, which is why the screenshot is relevant. Kubo consider them canon.

And this whole thing about “canon” is mainly Western elitism from people trying to say that only the manga counts tbh, when it blatantly does not work like that, since even the recent anime made with Kubo directly even mention Senna.

I'm not talking about this scan. The previous scan you mentioned says they forgot about their existence.
I assume you mean Cien and not yammy? Or am I missing something?
Yes, I made a mistake while translating. The person who said it should have been Cien.
Nowhere does it say or imply that Cien thought that.
This is what I'm talking about in the scan. Cien specifically destroys the remnants of Ulq and Ichigo's power because she doesn't want Rooka to use those powers against her. The Cien here is 100% powerful, and even 60% Cien is stronger than Zaraki with the Eye Patch. This Zaraki form is superior enough to cast reiatsu neg on Baraggan and Starrk. Instead of copying Baraggan or Starrk, Rooka would specifically resort to Ulq and Ichigo's powers. Rooka's preference for Ulq and VL even proves that these two are superior to Baraggan and Starrk.

The first scan I sent you confirms that, according to Cien, the strongest people Rooka could copy from are VL, Ichigo, and Ulq. If Yammy, Starrk, and Barggan were stronger characters, he would be surprised and say, "Did he copy something even stronger than Yammy, Starrk, and Barggan?" But even when praising the power of something, he mentions Ulq and VL.
 
You would have to make the unprovable assumption that his disease kicked in when WW perception blitzes him when he was fine beforehand fighting Stark, also Shunsui is included in that blitz. We see him turn around only after Jushiro is hit and at the same moment/a panel after Jushiro is blitzed. Hollowfied Mashiro just outscales both of them blatantly via feats and nothing suggets Kensei is the weakest Captain Vizard. His scaling is just vauge, cuz Kubo didn't show us what happened between him in Bankai vs WW (We don't know if WW popped Res on him or if Kensei lost to a base WW).

Shunsui and Ukitake have no scaling to Yama, we see in Cour 1 Ukitake is struggling against Cang and Shunsui is struggling against Robert without their Bankais. Don't use their fight against Yama in the SS, it's arguable that Yama held back. Yama would outscale base WW who blitzes these 2, it's more then obv he held back.

Yamamoto didn't held back in the SS arc that's a big point of his characterization after the arc when he becomes more lax as a result of Ichigo's actions, being traitors marked for execution he himself tells them that he is going to kill them and not just beat them up, this scalling is consistent with Shunsui being the same as when he fights Starrk and Lille, Ukitake's reiatsu just fluctuates too much, also WW is a child and we know he underestimates them.

Mashiro is weaker than Kensei, from whom we know was annihilated by 3 cheer Mask who was negg diffed by Shikai Renji, who is weaker than Shunsui since Kyoraku made Lille go Slakverei Volstandig and outperformed base Yoruichi vs Tokinada, who also mentions his reiatsu level as similar to Yoruichi and post palace Byakuya.

Base Robert was losing to no games Shunsui, he got his eye by using Volstandig/Slakverei as a surprise speed boost but Kyoraku himself said Yama would scold him for struggling with an enemy at this level and that he must have been more shook than he though, so this is a low end for Shunsui against an opponent that post palace Byakuya defeated in Bankai.

You can be bloodlusted and still not fight all out from the start btw, we literally see him hold back Bankai. So the logic of he's going all out from the start just isn't true and neither does he pop it later
If Yamamoto is a blitz + a one shot tier above then in Shikai and he didn't do either of those in their SS fight. That proves he held back. Mind u after Shunsui and Ukitake pull Shikai all 3 of them jump at each other and the only thing we see is after that scene is Shunsui and Ukitake being damaged while Yamamoto is perfectly fine. There losing a 2v1 and you want to grant them any scaling off that? There fight could've literally been 1 clash. unless I'm wrong and there's more scenes
-
Even if i grant u that Ukitake's reiatsu conventialy fluctuated against WW, we literally see he's fine against Stark a few moments prior (it's not his reiatsu fluctation mid fight even, that's ur own headcanon. It's just him straight up being un able to fight when his disease kicks in, these are 2 seperate things and clearly that's not happening when WW blitzed him)
-
There's a diff between underestimating a person for being a child solely and underestimating a person, because there a child and literally have Cero's weaker then a Gillian. Also once again Shunsui is included in this blitz there all looking at WW.
Mashiro is weaker than Kensei, from whom we know was annihilated by 3 cheer Mask who was negg diffed by Shikai Renji, who is weaker than Shunsui since Kyoraku made Lille go Slakverei Volstandig and outperformed base Yoruichi vs Tokinada, who also mentions his reiatsu level as similar to Yoruichi and post palace Byakuya.
Shunsui is a major hax merchant. Were talking about physical scaling here and neither his Shikai or Bankai is a stat amp, and guess what he's doing against Lille the entire fight? Using his Shikais hax and Lille is dodging most of Shunsui's off guard attemps on him. Point being Shunsui doesn't scale to Lille
Base Robert was losing to no games Shunsui, he got his eye by using Volstandig/Slakverei as a surprise speed boost but Kyoraku himself said Yama would scold him for struggling with an enemy at this level and that he must have been more shook than he though, so this is a low end for Shunsui against an opponent that post palace Byakuya defeated in Bankai.
Same thing again kind of. His Shikai isn't a stat amp i was downscaling his physicals from the very start which don't improve with Shikai or Bankai.
Shunsui is literally mid swing when Robert activates Vollstandig there's no off guard arg here, he objectively outsped the swing which moved before him and then Shunsui looks at him pointing the gun just to not dodge the bullet.
-
"Like he's scolding me" based off him getting goosebumps from feeling Yamas reiatsu, yh bro this shit ain't it. We see Robert is uninjured after Shunsui leaps at him making this statement, so they kept stalemating and Robert has alr reverted to base.
-
I don't think Shunsui saying he's more distrubed/ shook then he thought after getting shot is necessarily indication of a mental nerf, and even if i grant you that. He still stalemates Robert when Yamamoto lifts the spirits of the entire Gotei 13 and some being rejuvenated from this.

Yamamoto wouldn't use his potentially disastrous Bankai for this, he knows he can beat them in Shikai and that they won't use Bankai either, the fact the fight lasted as much as Byakuya vs Ichigo means they aren't blitz and oneshot material.

Ukitake iis simply too inconsistent, we know this from as far back as Kaien as we know he is a softie at heart, him underestimating WW and his disease are the most logical explanation.

Using his Shikais hax and Lille is dodging most of Shunsui's off guard attemps on him. Point being Shunsui doesn't scale to Lille
Shunsui is faster than base Lille, he was even dodging his Slakverei form attacks, and he also has equal or better stats than Yoruichi based on the Tokinada fight, he has hax but he's also a powerhouse.


Same thing again kind of. His Shikai isn't a stat amp i was downscaling his physicals from the very start which don't improve with Shikai or Bankai.

Robert used Vol/Slk as a surprise move by using i mid combo, Shunsui didn't know they could do that, after we see one eye no games Shunsui cut Robert and be in control, so yeah is a low end for him.

Unless we want to argue Robert is just faster than his overall tier suggest.

Shunsui has 6 fights Chad-Yama-Starrk-Robert-Lille-Tokinada in which in 5 he's portrayed and stated to be a high tier in stats, that means he is far beyond Kensei.
 
My translation and urs
Notice how the translations are nearly the same thing and the major diff being is that i didn't translate that last part
which i told u, but seemingly you can't read
Then you should have translated the last part because it adds context and destroys your claim but maybe you didn't because it doesn't fit your agenda but i digress.... i am not going to go back and forth with you on this.
Telling me I can't read when your putting words into my mouth is funny ASF (insanse strawman btw), once again proving YOU CAN'T READ 😭
I never asserted that Cien thinks Ulquiorra can kill him pls find where i said or implied this. I'll show u what i originally said
I never said you said that either maybe you should have read further to understand what point i was actually trying to convey here, CIEN DOESN'T HOLD ULQUIORRA IN COMPARISON TO THE OTHER NAMES, this is backed by the fact that he doesn't call any of the former heuco mondo residents outside the top 3 espadas and he only calls ulquiorra because he acknowledged their battle while saying FH ichigo in particular outside the two could have been trouble to handle, he delibrately omits ulquiorra's name AGAIN after omitting his name earlier in the top three esapada statement. The only reason ulquiorra name is mentioned is because he fought FH ichigo not because he holds ulquiorra in higher esteem, for the basis of your argument to work, you need to prove that cien calls ulquiorra for another reason outside acknowledging their battle because his name isn't mentioned in any other context aside him mocking her for that idea that either of them could kill him (this is where he regards ulquiorra but it is a mockery) and even goes to single him out by acknowledging ONLY fh ichigo, and because ichigo ragdolled ulquiorra my interpretation is all made the more obvious because the text doesn't scale him to ichigo nor does it scale to top three former residents of heuco mondo despite ulquiorra being a former resident as well.

"Cien says that nobody in Hueco Mundo besides himself and Aizen possesses power greater than that attack. If Ulquiorra were actually on that level, the first statement would have been the perfect time to mention him. He doesn't. That should already tell you everything."

The issue here is he also doesn't mention FH Ichigo. Does this mean the FH Ichigo doesn't surpass those 3 Espada's ULTs? No it doesn't, bc Max Cien is equal to FH Ichigo and therefore FH Ichigo should also surpass those powers. Pay attention to what Cien said when he starts to mention SE Ulquiorra and FH Ichigo
"Did you think I wouldn't know about their transformation and powers?" -ur own translation from the imgur link
He doesn't mention FH ichigo for the same very reasons he doesn't mention yamamoto or Unohana outisde heuco mondo BECAUSE THEY ARE NOT RESIDENTS IN HEUCO MONDO, The premise of that statement dwells on those that have were once residents of heuco mondo, that was the reason why ichigo isn't mentioned in the first statement, and he only gets mentioned because the ichigo who dogwalked ulquiorra is more powerful than they are as cien's words suggests but it doesn't extend to ulquiorra because he delibrately singles him out by not making an emphasis on him at all other than him ridiculing her for the idea in the first place, you could make a CRT on this and i guarantee it wouldn't get accepted.
He excludes FH Ichigo and SE Ulquiorra, cuz he assumed Roka didn't know about their powers and those 2 aren't common knowledge (SE is a secret form he hid and only used once). It wouldn't make sense for him to mention Ulqs name when mentioning those 3 Espada, because that would be giving Roka a stronger attack to make with her threads.
This is also wrong because why would he exclude them because of that when he and roca have information on every hollow in heuco mondo and he is aware of this?, especially when this version of ulquiorra's "secret" has already been revealed in full display mind you to everyone as he vaporizes a huge portion of las noches in his fight with ichigo and the several wide kilometers of lanza del relampago is enough to bring out his secret to everyone, especially if some one with ass spirtual sensing abilities like yammy was even able to sense his power. There is no reason for that to be the case.
"Roka instead of copying those 3 Espada's that you 100% know of instead I'm going to tell u about SE Ulquiorra something you probably didn't know"
This is why he says "Did you think I wouldn't know", he doesn't know whether or not Roka knows about SE Ulquiorra. So he's not gonna tell the person who's trying to kill him about a stronger person she could copy.
This is why you can't use the fact he doesn't list SE Ulq with those other Espada and him saying only he and Aizen surpass those Espada's ULTs.
He says that not because of your logic but because he was literally created by roca after the events of the arrancar saga, so he wasn't around at the time of these events. This is why he accumulates information about his past life and power so yeah you are wrong here as well
Like u said Cien is guessing what attack she's going to copy next:
-At first he assumes she's going to copy those 3 Espada
-Then he assumes she'd instead go for copying SE Ulquiorra or FH Ichigo
And he only mentions ulquiorra because of their fight not because of him as individual, the only thing his statement proves is that he doesn't scale to ichigo nor does he scale to the three espadas because he isn't compared to anyone there when cien has knowledge to and ulquiorra fits both criteria to be listed since like them ulq is a former resident of HM.
This does directly imply Cien thinks SE Ulquiorra is stronger then those other Espada, bc Cien realizes Roka is trying to kill him with her next attack. So he's going up the ladder of what she could possibly be trying to copy and guess what? SE Ulquiorra is portrayed as higher on it.
No it doesn't, you would have an argument if he is held in the same regard as FH ichigo, he isn't and we know this based of their fight and based on the interpretaion of cien own words, Cien would still call harribel if she was the one who forced ichigo to Full hollow instead regardless whether he stomps her or not not because of her outstanding power but because of the existence of the fight itself which was meant to allude to ichigo only. It doesn't matter who fought ichigo, that person would have still been called by this knowledge of that fight happened and the outstanding participator was only ichigo.
It's dumb asl to think to think that Cien would think Roka would copy a weaker attack from SE Ulquiorra instead of a stronger attack from those 3 Espada, so yes Ulquiorra is stronger then Barragan, Stark and Yammy.
It is only dumb if ulquiorra was mentioned as a stand alone person instead of just mentioning him because full hollow ichigo managed to fight and ragdoll him, and their fight highlights ichigo's power. The fact of the matter is, he wasn't mentioned with the other residents of heuco mondo and he wasn't portrayed as being troublesome as ichigo, he was mentioned because the nature of his fight with ichigo revealed full ichigo who is the only one he made an emphasis on. Sure while your logic can be seen there is just too many things around his statement that makes it not being able hold up.
The only way to think this doesn't imply Ulquiorra is stronger then the other Espada:
Is to say Cien would assume first she's trying copy those 3 Espada and then go down to copying a weaker Espada
Except Cien thinks the one being worthy of being stronger than the espadas is full hollow ichigo since he is the only one who he makes an emphasis on and again the relevance of ulquiorra in that statement is the fight that revealed full hollow ichigo.
But it doesn't make sense he would wouldn't be jumping downwards, bc Roka is trying to kill him with this next attack (he guessed wrong and she copies Mugetsu instead). So obv he'd try and think of the strongest char's she could copy from. Hence SE Ulquiorra is mentioned afterwards as a higher level then those other 3 Espada.
The text simply doesn't imply ulq is on higher level and that hurts your argument.
His Cero is being turned into a new Cero by Roka and then fired by her, but ig this is just Semantics
It wasn't semantics when you were trying to say i didn't read novels and were trying to correct me for saying it was cien GRC but it is semantics when i refute that.... i see you.
He gives FH Ichigo extra emphasis bc he's stronger then SE Ulquiorra, and what? No he quite literally thinks it's possible she'd by trying to copy SE Ulquiorra as well.
You realize that even if this is true it hurts your point right? He thinks it is possible for roca to believe the top 3 ults can rival his GRC which above his physicals but he doesn't think ulquiorra would be difficult to handle. Being possible rivals to his GRC >>>>>>>>>>>>> Not being troublesome to subdue
Here's once again ur own translation
"Roka you really thought that if you copied one of those powers"
HE THINKS SHE WOULD'VE COPIED EITHER ONE OF THEM
Your straight up lying he didn't mention SE Ulquiorra only cuz of Ichigo, he mentioned SE Ulquiorra bc he actually thought she'd try and copy SE Ulquiorra instead of those other Espada. That blatantly means he's stronger
If the focus of his statement was on ulquiorra then ulquiorra wouldn't be excluded in the very next statements he makes lol and all he suggests is that ulquiorra even in his injured state wouldn't be troublesome to handle while he suggests that it is possibe for roca to believe the top three ults to rival his GRC.
If ur going to reply to this don't put words into my mouth again and say i can't read when YOU misread what i originally said😭
I didn't misread anything you said so you do't have to worry
 
Then you should have translated the last part because it adds context and destroys your claim but maybe you didn't because it doesn't fit your agenda but i digress.... i am not going to go back and forth with you on this.

I never said you said that either maybe you should have read further to understand what point i was actually trying to convey here, CIEN DOESN'T HOLD ULQUIORRA IN COMPARISON TO THE OTHER NAMES, this is backed by the fact that he doesn't call any of the former heuco mondo residents outside the top 3 espadas and he only calls ulquiorra because he acknowledged their battle while saying FH ichigo in particular outside the two could have been trouble to handle, he delibrately omits ulquiorra's name AGAIN after omitting his name earlier in the top three esapada statement. The only reason ulquiorra name is mentioned is because he fought FH ichigo not because he holds ulquiorra in higher esteem, for the basis of your argument to work, you need to prove that cien calls ulquiorra for another reason outside acknowledging their battle because his name isn't mentioned in any other context aside him mocking her for that idea that either of them could kill him (this is where he regards ulquiorra but it is a mockery) and even goes to single him out by acknowledging ONLY fh ichigo, and because ichigo ragdolled ulquiorra my interpretation is all made the more obvious because the text doesn't scale him to ichigo nor does it scale to top three former residents of heuco mondo despite ulquiorra being a former resident as well.


He doesn't mention FH ichigo for the same very reasons he doesn't mention yamamoto or Unohana outisde heuco mondo BECAUSE THEY ARE NOT RESIDENTS IN HEUCO MONDO, The premise of that statement dwells on those that have were once residents of heuco mondo, that was the reason why ichigo isn't mentioned in the first statement, and he only gets mentioned because the ichigo who dogwalked ulquiorra is more powerful than they are as cien's words suggests but it doesn't extend to ulquiorra because he delibrately singles him out by not making an emphasis on him at all other than him ridiculing her for the idea in the first place, you could make a CRT on this and i guarantee it wouldn't get accepted.

This is also wrong because why would he exclude them because of that when he and roca have information on every hollow in heuco mondo and he is aware of this?, especially when this version of ulquiorra's "secret" has already been revealed in full display mind you to everyone as he vaporizes a huge portion of las noches in his fight with ichigo and the several wide kilometers of lanza del relampago is enough to bring out his secret to everyone, especially if some one with ass spirtual sensing abilities like yammy was even able to sense his power. There is no reason for that to be the case.

He says that not because of your logic but because he was literally created by roca after the events of the arrancar saga, so he wasn't around at the time of these events. This is why he accumulates information about his past life and power so yeah you are wrong here as well

And he only mentions ulquiorra because of their fight not because of him as individual, the only thing his statement proves is that he doesn't scale to ichigo nor does he scale to the three espadas because he isn't compared to anyone there when cien has knowledge to and ulquiorra fits both criteria to be listed since like them ulq is a former resident of HM.

No it doesn't, you would have an argument if he is held in the same regard as FH ichigo, he isn't and we know this based of their fight and based on the interpretaion of cien own words, Cien would still call harribel if she was the one who forced ichigo to Full hollow instead regardless whether he stomps her or not not because of her outstanding power but because of the existence of the fight itself which was meant to allude to ichigo only. It doesn't matter who fought ichigo, that person would have still been called by this knowledge of that fight happened and the outstanding participator was only ichigo.

It is only dumb if ulquiorra was mentioned as a stand alone person instead of just mentioning him because full hollow ichigo managed to fight and ragdoll him, and their fight highlights ichigo's power. The fact of the matter is, he wasn't mentioned with the other residents of heuco mondo and he wasn't portrayed as being troublesome as ichigo, he was mentioned because the nature of his fight with ichigo revealed full ichigo who is the only one he made an emphasis on.

The text simply doesn't imply ulq is on higher level and that hurts your argument.

It wasn't semantics when you were trying to say i didn't read novels and were trying to correct me for saying it was cien GRC but it is semantics when i refute that.... i see you.

I didn't misread anything you said so you do't have to worry
Now that i think about it i don't even know why i am arguing this when, an omniscient narrator in safwy directly calls yammy the strongest espada before cien surpasses him, the yammy that still followed the rankings even after ulquiorra revealed his secret form and died. I won't be arguing this anymore, this wiki already follows the logic i described.... Goodluck on the CRT you make
 
Yamamoto wouldn't use his potentially disastrous Bankai for this, he knows he can beat them in Shikai and that they won't use Bankai either, the fact the fight lasted as much as Byakuya vs Ichigo means they aren't blitz and oneshot material.

Ukitake iis simply too inconsistent, we know this from as far back as Kaien as we know he is a softie at heart, him underestimating WW and his disease are the most logical explanation.
I don't think a off screen fight where u have to draw multiple assumptions is better evidence then direct valid anti feats
This is just going circular now on the Ukitake thing all this has alr been addressed
Shunsui is faster than base Lille, he was even dodging his Slakverei form attacks, and he also has equal or better stats than Yoruichi based on the Tokinada fight, he has hax but he's also a powerhouse.
You mean those dodges where Lille is like a great distance away from Shunsui? We understand the speed formula right? base lille was dodging most of his off guard attempts
Robert used Vol/Slk as a surprise move by using i mid combo, Shunsui didn't know they could do that, after we see one eye no games Shunsui cut Robert and be in control, so yeah is a low end for him.

Unless we want to argue Robert is just faster than his overall tier suggest.
I alr explained why you can't argue off guard, Shunsui is mid swing he's fully on guard and only then does Robert power up and dodge all before Shunsui's swing can reach him. Even after where he's about to fire he waits until Shunsui can look at him, so he has at least a good feat scaling him to Shunsui if not above
Shunsui has 6 fights Chad-Yama-Starrk-Robert-Lille-Tokinada in which in 5 he's portrayed and stated to be a high tier in stats, that means he is far beyond Kensei.
Yama fight is entirely off screen where u have to make assumptions for him
Starrk fight he's missing off guard attemps and when he has Shikai games, Stark is mentally nerfed by that point and had split his soul for his wolves attack
Alr explained the Robert and Lille thing
None of these help his stats scaling
I haven't finished CFYOW
 
Then you should have translated the last part because it adds context and destroys your claim but maybe you didn't because it doesn't fit your agenda but i digress.... i am not going to go back and forth with you on this.

The people he's naming are his guesses to who Roka could be copying in Las Noches/HM, so it's not limited to formal HM residents and that's a weird assumption to make in the first place. So this would include beings like FH Ichigo, HM Zaraki and guess what he doesn't mention either of those 2 when he says "Only me and Lord Aizen surpass these 3 powers", so this statement isn't even all that reliable in the first place and no were giving the reason why Cien mentions SE Ulq which u just keep ignoring (But I'm the one with the agenda right???). It's not that he only gets a mention bc he fought FH Ichigo, no Cien straight up thinks that Roka would copy SE Ulq over those other 3 Espada. So Cien himself debunks his own statement from prior and as i alr explained he wasn't being fully truthful it's not a 100% reliable statement. No one's trying to argue SE Ulq scales to FH Ichigo and SE Ulq being a threat or not doesn't matter, those 3 Espada aren't a threat to him either supposedly and I'm trynna argue SE Ulq > those 3 (not FH Ichigo).
He doesn't mention FH ichigo for the same very reasons he doesn't mention yamamoto or Unohana outisde heuco mondo BECAUSE THEY ARE NOT RESIDENTS IN HEUCO MONDO, The premise of that statement dwells on those that have were once residents of heuco mondo, that was the reason why ichigo isn't mentioned in the first statement, and he only gets mentioned because the ichigo who dogwalked ulquiorra is more powerful than they are as cien's words suggests but it doesn't extend to ulquiorra because he delibrately singles him out by not making an emphasis on him at all other than him ridiculing her for the idea in the first place, you could make a CRT on this and i guarantee it wouldn't get accepted.
Once again, no ur assuming it's limited to HM residents. It would be in reference to who has had fights in HM/Las Noches (Cien and Roka fight in Las Noches, but ik she copies the sand hollow that Rukia defeats. So she was copying beings outside of Las Noches too) or more specifically who has displayed their power in HM/Las Noches at the very least. "If there was any power beyond that in Hueco Mundo" -any power Roka can copy in HM, context matters. So once again this statement isn't all that reliable FH Ichigo's power would be available and is a equal to a previous version of Cien who's draining the Picaro's SP and isn't slowly dying like this one.
This is also wrong because why would he exclude them because of that when he and roca have information on every hollow in heuco mondo and he is aware of this?, especially when this version of ulquiorra's "secret" has already been revealed in full display mind you to everyone as he vaporizes a huge portion of las noches in his fight with ichigo and the several wide kilometers of lanza del relampago is enough to bring out his secret to everyone, especially if some one with ass spirtual sensing abilities like yammy was even able to sense his power. There is no reason for that to be the case.
Yammy can't really sense for shit. Couldn't sense Orihime and Chad were trash and couldn't tell Ichigo's SP was higher then his (couldn't tell Ichigos SP was fluctuating to points where he's stronger then Ulq), plus they need open their Pesquisa's physically for long range sensing.
-
Also it just is implied Cien wasn't counting SE Ulq and FH Ichigo "Did you think I didn't know about their transformations and powers" -asking Roka if she thought that he didn't know about their powers implies they weren't being counted before, bc Cien thought Roka perhaps didn't know that he knew about them and that she was sneakily trying to copy one of their powers.
-
Idk if it's confirmed whether or not she knew about SE Ulq and FH Ichigo, but her threads gather information independent of her will and does shit like reviving pre Soul split Szayelaporro without her knowledge. So it makes sense that Cien wouldn't want to mention SE Ulq or FH Ichigo in the 3 Espada statement (these 3 being common knowledge) and would want to avoid giving her extra knowledge that she possibly doesn't know about (being FH Ichigo adn SE Ulq who aren't common knowledge).
He says that not because of your logic but because he was literally created by roca after the events of the arrancar saga, so he wasn't around at the time of these events. This is why he accumulates information about his past life and power so yeah you are wrong here as well
Yeah he seems to have directly checked all of the information the threads gathered when he revived (he's a smart guy), but Roka was wandering around in KKT after she revived and was depressed cuz she had no purpose (she's just aimlessly doing nothing while her threads do things behind her back).
And he only mentions ulquiorra because of their fight not because of him as individual, the only thing his statement proves is that he doesn't scale to ichigo nor does he scale to the three espadas because he isn't compared to anyone there when cien has knowledge to and ulquiorra fits both criteria to be listed since like them ulq is a former resident of HM.
"Copied one of those powers" (zoomed it in for you, since you seemed to have missed it) -meaning he's including SE Ulq not bc he fought FH Ichigo, but bc it's possible she would've gone to copy either of them. U keep saying I have a agenda when ur the one blatantly ignoring parts of the text, like IG bro and I have alr addressed the next 2 things you mention here above in this reply.
No it doesn't, you would have an argument if he is held in the same regard as FH ichigo, he isn't and we know this based of their fight and based on the interpretaion of cien own words, Cien would still call harribel if she was the one who forced ichigo to Full hollow instead regardless whether he stomps her or not not because of her outstanding power but because of the existence of the fight itself which was meant to allude to ichigo only. It doesn't matter who fought ichigo, that person would have still been called by this knowledge of that fight happened and the outstanding participator was only ichigo.
"Cien would still call Harribel if she was the one who forced..." -you have 0 proof SE Ulq was mentioned bc of his fight with FH Ichigo, and I have alr proved otherwise. Not to mention this example and the last part is just ur assumption again...
It is only dumb if ulquiorra was mentioned as a stand alone person instead of just mentioning him because full hollow ichigo managed to fight and ragdoll him, and their fight highlights ichigo's power. The fact of the matter is, he wasn't mentioned with the other residents of heuco mondo and he wasn't portrayed as being troublesome as ichigo, he was mentioned because the nature of his fight with ichigo revealed full ichigo who is the only one he made an emphasis on. Sure while your logic can be seen there is just too many things around his statement that makes it not being able hold up.
Alr proved he's mention for his own power as well and alr addressed the other 3 Espada statement
Except Cien thinks the one being worthy of being stronger than the espadas is full hollow ichigo since he is the only one who he makes an emphasis on and again the relevance of ulquiorra in that statement is the fight that revealed full hollow ichigo.
Disproved this alr way above
The text simply doesn't imply ulq is on higher level and that hurts your argument.
When u look at everything i've said and read it in this way, it does directly imply Cien thinks Roka would rather copy SE Ulq OR FH Ichigo (meaning both seperately) then those 3 Espada (seperately) which would grant SE Ulq > any of those 3 Espada.
It wasn't semantics when you were trying to say i didn't read novels and were trying to correct me for saying it was cien GRC but it is semantics when i refute that.... i see you.
fair enough
You realize that even if this is true it hurts your point right? He thinks it is possible for roca to believe the top 3 ults can rival his GRC which above his physicals but he doesn't think ulquiorra would be difficult to handle. Being possible rivals to his GRC >>>>>>>>>>>>> Not being troublesome to subdue
Ngl Cien saying he currently surpasses those 3 Espada's ULT is mega cap then. If those 3 Espada's ULTS are stronger then his GRC being doubled, then how is he still stronger then 3's powers? And Cien is a Cero merchant, he has no special ult like Starks wolves iirc. So a GRC is his strongest move.
-
So he's being hyperbolic asl when he's saying "Yh vro trust my current power is higher then those 3's attacks even though they surpass my doubled GRC" (He is stronger then them at his peak, but he's like slowly dying against Roka and losing his SP quickly. So he's hella nerfed and thus his previous statements of being above the Espada don't apply, cuz he wasn't nerfed at the time of those statements like he is here). That doubled GRC fully outscales his durability
-
So atp is him thinking SE Ulq's attack not being difficult to handle even true? And same for him being able to still defeat Roka if she copied a attack from FH Ichigo, how is he going survive a attack from FH Ichigo who equals his full power? Mind you he's so weakened that his GRC is weaker then Starks Wolves, when before in base at 33% he was stronger then Maxed Out Yammy which is implied stronger then the wolves. So I don't think that line of logic works when he's blatantly capping and overhyping himself, so the line of logic Roka would prioritize SE Ulqs power over those 3 Espada's moves is more reliable and doesn't have issues.
-
Also idk how you would cap SE Ulq from this line. He doesn't say anything where u can draw the conlcusion SE Ulq is less troublesome then those 3 Espada's ULT's or isn't difficult to handle. You just made that part up. You can infer FH Ichigo > SE Ulq from this ofc, but he just stops talking about SE Ulq presumably bc FH Ichigo is stronger.
Now that i think about it i don't even know why i am arguing this when, an omniscient narrator in safwy directly calls yammy the strongest espada before cien surpasses him, the yammy that still followed the rankings even after ulquiorra revealed his secret form and died. I won't be arguing this anymore, this wiki already follows the logic i described.... Goodluck on the CRT you make
This? "once hailed" and this is like after Cien alr surpassed him, and if ur arguing a omniscient narrator it wouldn't matter whether it's before or after Cien surpasses him. The narrator would know of Pre soul split Szayelaporro, it'd alr be wrong.
-
So what if the wiki follows this logic? Doesn't mean the profiles are perfect

Yamamoto didn't held back in the SS arc
The back cover blurb of the manga volume contained something implying Yamamoto was holding back. I think it was volume 55. Regarding the Aizen vs. Yamamoto fight, I remember something like, "For the first time in a long time, he'll fight with all his might." In the manga, Ukitake also said something like, "Yamamoto hasn't fought with this much intensity in a long time," after surrounding Aizen's team with flames. Yes, I can never quite remember the key words in sentences.

Besides that, in CFYOW, Shunsui compared RJ's flames (which Tokinada copied) to Yamaji's flames during Rukia's execution to highlight how weak they were. There's a reason he specifically compared it to Yamamoto's flames during Rukia's execution, of course. There are plenty of things that prove Yamamoto is far superior to Shunsui and Ukitake. Ukitake's anti-feat against Wonderweiss, Shunsui's anti-feats against Starrk, Aizen, and Lille Barro, etc.
 
If you guys put this much effort into defending the verse in CRTs, the verse would probably be in way better shape.

It’s impressive that an Espada debate still gains this much traction. The funny thing is that, wiki-wise, they would still all end up scaling to the same value anyway, so it’s basically a purely inverse-scaling debate. It can just be an off-wiki thing if it really matters who is slightly above who. It doesn't really affect the wiki scaling in any meaningful way.
 
I don't think a off screen fight where u have to draw multiple assumptions is better evidence then direct valid anti feats
This is just going circular now on the Ukitake thing all this has alr been addressed

Not all of the fight is offpanel and we have enough evidence to know they can fight him for an extended time, Ukitake clearly performing below captain level is a clear outlier.


You mean those dodges where Lille is like a great distance away from Shunsui? We understand the speed formula right? base lille was dodging most of his off guard attempts

No, Shunsui clearly was faster to the point Lille outright didn't even notice his rifle being cut, he also never dodges he resorted to opening his eye like he did vs Oetsu, and also against Slakverei Lille Kyoraku reacts to everything he does, he even dodges XAxis from 12 gun wings not just the rifle.


I alr explained why you can't argue off guard, Shunsui is mid swing he's fully on guard and only then does Robert power up and dodge all before Shunsui's swing can reach him. Even after where he's about to fire he waits until Shunsui can look at him, so he has at least a good feat scaling him to Shunsui if not above

But the opponent suddenly becoming faster is what took him off ward as the timing of the fight completely changes, that's what they call "getting used to your speed"

Volume 55 is in the TYBW arc, about what Ukitake said in the official scans he just says Yama is being agresive and Shunsui says he's in a bad mood.

Ukitake's anti-feat against Wonderweiss, Shunsui's anti-feats against Starrk, Aizen, and Lille Barro, etc.

Yamamoto is stronger than them but they are able to fight him as a duo for a prolonged time, which requires a certain parity in stats, in CFYOW we are told Shunsui's reiatsu is the same level as Yorichi and Byakuya, below Aizen, and Yama is "at the edge of common sense" which IMO is mean to imply is as strong as a soul can get without PEDs.

lets just agreeto disagree atp
 
Allmighty is a clusterfuck to argue so it depends on who, where and when the fight happens.


BTW I made a try at getting the distance to the palace based on visual acuity from Seireitei, would be 4497700km for a 1500km city to be invisible in a clear sky.

Yeah. Cant wait for cour 4 to happen and eventually get more abilities for The Almighty.
BTW I made a try at getting the distance to the palace based on visual acuity from Seireitei, would be 4497700km for a 1500km city to be invisible in a clear sky.
assuming it‘s too small for the average Human eye to resolve as a distinct object, i think its safe to use the eyes angular resolution of 1 arcminute.

For a 1500km sized object, it needs to be 5,156,620km away, to be completely invisible.

But you can also get a number, close to 100 million km, if we assume that it illuminates like other celestial objects (like pluto, since its similar in size somewhat).

But thats assuming ordinary planetary reflectivity and good observing conditions.
 
Why would visual acuity be valid for a structure in another dimension?
Dunno but when it‘s in its own dimension (i think some actually don’t believe that), couldn’t we just use the star within that dimension to get the minimum distance? Either way, the distance would be far higher than the insult of a distance we have now.

Who cares what people believe? It's stated verbatim in the manga and was addressed in that recent downgrade thread.

There was an old calc that ang sized via the sun but it was scrapped. The visual acuity method would have been the most straightforward method if it weren't for the dimensional shenanigans, imo.

why was it scrapped again? I am aware that it was verbatim stated. Its just that some believe and argued like their lifes were on the line, that it was just a Hyperbole.

The visuals of the sun were inconsistent and the depiction of celestial bodies in the sky across the series are also inconsistent.
