Rating: Baseline
6-B
GRC > CO (10x) > Cero, so GRC is either 6-B or at least 10x a regular Cero, whichever is higher. Aka if a character is already 6-B, they would be at least 10x stronger with their GRC, by virtue of it being a more potent amp than CO.
A quick preface, I forgot the entire ******* verse upscales the Espada after the Arrancar Arc, so I want to make sure the Espada tiering is hunky dory before I slave over going through the rest of the FKT cast, LAA cast, and whole ass TYBW roster. So, I only included the Espada (and pre-TS Ichigo) for now, if this is good to go I'll start typing up the rest.

Attack Potency: Large Island level (Stomped Bankai Ichigo in their first encounter, overcame his Getsuga Tenshō with a Cero. It should be noted that at this point, Ichigo's reiatsu was fluctuating wildly between "unimpressive" by Espada standards at its lowest, and comparable to or slightly greater than base Ulquiorra's at its peak, and Ichigo was trying his best to suppress his
inner Hollow, fought on par with Post-Visored Training Bankai Ichigo),

A quick change with Nnoitra that needed to happen before this thread tbh. Currently, we had Res Nnoitra's AP scaling to his dura which scaled above Res Yammy's dura, but Res Yammy's dura scales to his AP, see the issue? We inadvertently scale Res Nnoitra's physicals to Res Yammy's physicals, but that cannot be true considering how each Espada is stronger than the last. Easy fix is just scaling Res Nnoitra above Res Grimmjow, as I do here. I think we just didn't notice previously because technically all the Res Espada from like 5 and stronger shared the same tier, so it was hiding.

Let me explain something with Ulquiorra and this supposed 6-A rating I'm more or less proposing. With this scaling chain, GRC = 7 teratons =< Post-Visored Hollow Ichigo < Base Ulq ~< Post-Final Grimmjow Fight < Res Ulq < Res Ulq's CO = at least 70 teratons < SE Ulq (
Uryu senses Res Ulq's CO reiryoku and then
later claims SE Ulq's reiryoku is on a whole different level) < SE Ulq's CO = at least 700 teratons < SE Ulq's GRC ~< SE Ulq's Lanza, I'm proposing that his Lanza be upscaled to 6-A (760 teratons). Considering via the scaling chain SE Ulq's Lanza >> an attack that is bare minimum 700 teratons, and 700 teratons is already 92.1% of baseline 6-A. Personally, I think it is a reasonable upscale, albeit I don't too much care to push it super hard.
Next, let me explain why Espada 3, 2, 1, and 0 scale above SE Ulq. In every single medium we are told that Aizen numbered the Espada in order of power, it should be as simple as that. "But Ulquiorra never showed Aizen SE!" That does not mean Aizen isn't aware of it, not seeing =/= not knowing, I've never seen Pluto, but I still know it exists. Furthermore,
Aizen implies he's aware of the form, Aizen is the one who granted the Espada the ability to use Resurreccion, to imply he isn't aware of the power he himself gifts to the Espada is baseless.
Ulquiorra states that even if Ichigo wins there are 3 Espada above him, the same Ulquiorra who only deals in absolutes as he is a nihilist who finds no meaning in life, it would be so beyond out of character for him to lie here. "But Ulquiorra's number disappears in SE!", so does Harribel's,
look at her boobies in Res. "But Kubo said the fourth movie version of the fight was the canon one!" No he just said it looked really cool, not that it changes anything if it were more canon than the manga. Quite frankly, there exists no evidence even pointing to SE Ulq being the "secret strongest Espada", outside of a preconceived notion that him making big attacks go boom boom makes him the strongest. Arguing otherwise would be arguing against Uqluiorra's narrative and the narrative of the Arrancar Arc in general.
