still having doubts about anyone on the good side actually dying in this manga outside of chamber 46 or whatever the shinigami government is called. so kiba kenpachi byakuya im pretty sure they are all alive. kenpachi being dead and not cut to the liet ikkaka or yamichika(w/e the fuck his name is lol) freaking out at the very least ikkaku going bankai and rushing over

i mean look yumichika or w/e rushed over to ikkaku who had only got beaten and didnt even go bankai

also on top of that kenpachi dying would lead to the introduction of a new character at the end at least but i highly doubt even with all the "change" that is going on in soul society they will change how the 11th captain is chosen

no one wants a random new char at the end of the manga

okay, so to keep the dryness from leaving this thread, lets rank the Espada's and Captains in strength? yeah.
i don't want to do all of them but heres my top 5 for both

1. Ulquiorra
2. Stark
3. Barragan
4. Hallibel
5. Yammy

as for the captains

1.head captain of course
2. The captain who wears the pink thing
3. Zaraki
4. Unohana
5. Shinji/byakuya

reasoning behind Espadas.
Ulquiorra clearly has his second ressureccion and i think if he showed aizen that he woulda been 0 for sure. or at least #1
Stark, is a fucking beast, if he really cared about fighting and didnt have to 2v1 Ukitake and Shuisui(i think thats his name)
he woulda got em
Barragan, hes #2 for a reason, same with Hallibel
Yammy is #5 cause he has to get stupidly mad and hit his ressurcion to be worth anything

for the captains.
Head Captain = OP
pink guy, well, he wasnt trying in his fight either, he shows excellence in combat and if he really wanted to i think he coulda take any of the other captains 1v1 all day.
Unohana, super underrated, we haven't seen her fight but she has excellence in kido, can heal herself, and was one of the first captains established.
Zaraki... needs no description.
Shinji, Visored, captain, we haven't seen his bankai yet. Etc. etc. hes just a badass all together, he also fits in line with Byakuya who is also a major badass

wrong

the strongest = the lich king. awesome power

I agree with the espada rankings.

Zaraki shouldn't be third, he should be tied with Byakuya. They are even in my opinion. Bankai Byakuya = Zaraki, Shikai Byakuya < Zaraki.

i agree, byauya and zaraki were both killed by quincy and they pretty much fought in the same battles. but i think ichigo should be behind the captain commander because the other captains lost to aizen except the captain commander and ichigo and i honestly don't think byakuya and zaraki would've made much of a difference in the long run

Honestly, i think Zaraki would be killed by Byakuya unless, he starts the fight without his patch on
in which case i dont even know where that would go.

I actually wanna throw in Gin now too, because hes a gangsta in his own right, even though hes dead >_>

man... hes getting more badass by the second

Yeah South its very cool... 10 milions victims.. that something )) , now lets wait for north ! Unfortunatly the enemy didnt release his powers yet.

still havent explained why they can't/won't seal his bankai

coz bleach
