Apologies.
its alright 🤝 🤝 🤝
Reishi doesn’t contain reiatsu at all, it contains reiryoku which, when exerted outwards, becomes reiatsu.
i must disagree here,by Shunsui statment its Reiatsu within Reishi
Right so more reiryoku = higher ranking and higher ranking = stronger than the guys below = more reiatsu.
its over simplified.Again 3 other statments bring up different reasons for ranking.

First statment in UNMASKED.

圧倒的な能力と実力を併せ持つ破面の集団。最も強大な十刃から若い数字が与えられる

Translation:
A group of Arrancars that have both overwhelming abilities and efficiency/true strength.Lower the number that is given the more powerful Espada is.

圧倒的 - overwhelming

能力 - ability; capability; capacity; faculty; - that is Kanji Kubo used to describe unique abilities like Respira,Starrk soul cutting etc.

実力 - (real) ability; true strength; merit; efficiency; competency

Second statment in UNMASKED

殺戮能力を表す十刃の数字

破面の中で殺戮能力が特に秀でている10人。その中から能力の高い順に数字が与えれ、 破面最強の戦闘集 団“十刃”が結成された。

Translation:

Esdapa ranking represents lethality of their abilities.

Ten Arrancars who have especially lethal abilities.Numbers were given in decreasing order of ability, and the strongest battle group among Arrancars - "Espada" was formed.

殺戮 - slaughter, massacre

能力 - ability; capability; capacity; faculty;

MASKED also says abilities and skill

So ranking are reiryoku+unique abilities+skill.And yes Bleach rules is that reiryoku/reiatsu could make "weak" abilities stronger,like Bala with great reiatsu could be more powerful than Cero with low reiatsu.But we also saw how abilities could overcome some limitations of reiatsu:Barragan and Starrk abilities hypothetically being able to harm Cien or Roca/Nelliel with their Cero Doble or WW strengthened his unique abiliti to seal ryujin jakka

Grimm loses an arm and his rank because of the drop in power
His reiryoku/reiatsu isnt become weaker though ,is it?But his unique ability - Desgarron indeed become twice as weak

Shawlong says the Espada are ranked by power
actually he said lethality of their abilities -殺戮能力.And Second statment in UNMASKED is about his words
at all so your nitpicking is pointless.
soryy.Nitpicking is just for accuracy
a rather blatant example via Yammy, who needs to store up reiryoku for a full release, is > the rest with said full release.
he never mention reiryoku, he store up Reiatsu.

Wow, it’s almost like there is a correlation here.
i never said that correlation isnt a thing.I said 2 characters with equal Reiryoku can have diffrent Reiatsu density and one would be stronger that another.And also abilities play huge role,when Reiatsu are similar.

Such as? If you are gonna bring up the fact that it is mentioned many times in the manga and databook, at least reference some of these many times.
1.bleach official bootleg karaburi:Captain Komamura has a very large build, which he can use to bring incredible strength against his opponents.

2-5.Giriko,Menina,Ayon all use techniques that involved to become bigger to increase their physical strength

6.Pow and Nirgge Parduoc stated to become physicaly stronger because they become bigger and Yammy as well.

7.Jidanbo said to being physicaly stronge because of his Size.

Not sarcasm, just backtracking.
yep it was sarcasm.The whole point was to illustrate that Ayon has incredible puch power dispite being weaker im Reiastsu department

Why would you even bother bringing up their appearance if you want to immediately turn around and say it doesn’t matter?
there is an exception to every rule.And that is the reason Kubo even brought his appearance up

See Jidanbo being enormous but being trash to the likes of Ikkaku or the lieutenants.
Rangiku struggle to lift 225 poundes with 2 hands while Jidanbo lift enormous Gate.Him being weaker than her does not meant his physical strength isnt impressive
Yes … he literally is stronger than Quilge and probably FB Bankai Ichigo as well. Or do you not recall Ayon mangling the Nazi no diff?
So how Quilge beat him if Ayon is stronger and can punch much harder?oooo he used effective abiliti and make all that physical strength useless
At least we can agree you got decent humor.
;)(y)
Also ,if we have the same opinion on the topic it would not be so interesting to argue.I often use Reddite and user there rare have knowledge that members here are displaying
