It's been 3 years, but it's time to rank the end of series/Hell Arc Captains of the Gotei 13 from weakest to strongest once again, updated for 2023! As before, we'll be using an all-encompassing criteria including their raw power and reiatsu, their intelligence, experience, maturity, in-story fights, their zanpakuto, and more! Everything that makes someone fit to be a Captain. Let me know your personal lists down in the comments too!
I (almost always) agree with your logic and placements on power rankings. But I have a real challenge for you:
Make a top-30 best Bleach characters list. Not just shinigami, and not most powerful - use your own thoughts and reasoning to support your choices.
I would really enjoy a video like that, even if it would be on the longer side.
Worth the watch.
100% you should switch number 5 and number 4
@@DenizenoftheAges I'm itching so see a top strongest in Bleach as well i did a top 50 list a while ago (giving my reasoning and it took me nearly an hour or maybe even two hours lol)
@@SlickDraco what if Mayuri can medalize Bankais now? you would be wise to remember that he can use Quincy techniques now i remember when he used Hirenkyaku
edit: and Mayuri isn't a Quincy so the Bankai being Hollowfied doesn't mean a thing to him lol
i think that to own Mayuri you need to be an extremely skilled and fast warrior that's not very dependent on his Bankai that's how Ishida got him back in SS
@@Force-Multiplierhe will get instantly countered so fast it's would be insane
Shinji was able to foster a healthy, positive environment for Momo to begin a mental and emotional recuperation, and that deserves top billing in my book
Shinji got Aizen beat in that department. Took Aizen centuries to groom her. Shinji undid it in 2 years
@@AnonTDegenerate.....
BANKAI
(Yes i am talking about shinji's bankai)
If Rose gets another chance to shine, I hope his Bankai will improve to focus on the vibrations rather than the sound . While you could deafen yourself, you can’t escape how the bass could rattle your bones, the beat could bounce your heart, and how the rhythm could shake your core.
That sounds like a very smart buff for him, but it would be really broken since nobody can avoid his hax, his bankai is a OHKO ability and I feel like besides the shutzstaffle, no sternritter can really just ignore his bankai.
In CFYOW it was hinted that Shinji was training to make his shikai even turn hot to feel like cold so I'd like to see Rose's bankai get like 4 forms similar to Yamamoto's.
@@GlacikingTheIceColdKing Maybe it can be a “banned Bankai” kinda thing where he can’t use it with anyone else around and it has to be in an pretty empty area bc it would be too powerful. Maybe it can even affect Rose as well since Hisagi has a Bankai that also puts him in danger. Overall I really like the vibrations idea bc sound IS vibration, and it can be utilized if thought over more.
@@silversoulken same, I like the concept as well honestly. Sounds very cool
imagine if instead of dancers he manifests a vintage Roland 808 drum machine and blasts the entire area with a bass sine wave so powerful, it vibrates your soul and your immortal spirit itself hears it. That would be funny i think
I get the feeling that, like Renji originally, Soi Fon doesn't actually understand her zanpakuto, resulting in its bankai manifesting improperly and inefficiently
Nahh her Bandai just sucks and doesn’t fit her that well lol
@@kokokocho but that's just it: it's a reflection of her soul. A properly manifested bankai necessarily fits the shinigami.
@@drigondii I feel like it definitely is reflective of her personality, not her skill set.
@@drigondii She definitely has a loud brash and explosive personality that she tries to repress and we see it. I would definitely say her bankai is in line with that. She is just much better at hand-to-hand combat and her bankai does not mesh with that. Mind you that does not mean it is not in line with her soul, it just means it's not a good bankai for her because it does not mesh well with her expertise.
Soi Fon doesnt understad hersefl, it seems. Hehe
If I remember correctly, in the Turn Back The Pendulum arc I believe Shinji or someone made a comment about how strong Kensei was even before he was hollowfied and therefore was going to be very difficult to deal with. Since then, I always assumed he was one of the strongest captains, at least in the top 1/3 of captains, so it has been very disappointing to see how he’s treated 😔
It was more about how kensei was a captain so he'd be far more difficult to deal with.
I agree, I like Kensei and Rose. They should’ve either beaten Mask or Nanananana Nahjakoop (or even Robert/etc.). It was just insane that Mask got Even Stronger after fighting them, and Renji basically wiped the floor with him….
Kensei at least got a “zombified win” versus Pepe I guess.
I always felt Kensei was very strong but mostly physically
@@guts88 Kensei not using his hollow/Visored powers against Mask was another disappointment.
I like Kensei design almost like I like Kenpachi design. But Kubo always made Kensei weak for unknown reason
Man we really need another chapter of the hell arc. Kubo has kept us hanging for 2 years now.
It’s bound to happen once the thousand year blood war anime has wrapped up
That’s honestly the smartest way to do it because once the anime ends, the hype will be at an all-time high
2 years!? I thought it was 1 year ago wow I'm lost in time
Your comment just delayed it another week.
Be patient, maybe after the end of the anime, another chapter will be add 🤲
I honestly wonder, if Soifon ever came to terms with all aspects of herself and resolved the perceived contradiction between her natural hotheadedness and the role she has been conditioned into playing, would Jakuho Raikoben change to reflect her newfound self-acceptance, or would she change to make better use of her own Bankai? As it is now, it seems incomplete, or st least Soi-Fon doesn't truly accept or understand the part of herself that is reflected in her Bankai.
Possibly. We know yamamoto's bankai changed over time. This is due to understanding oneself.
I have no doubt. After all these years it is clear that Bankai arent "set in stone", started with Mayuri, but him being him we never really thought much, and we just got examples from many from Shikais to Bankais
The moment Soifon finally realize that even if she trained to be and that she does respect the craft of "assassination" she isn't defined by it... she will achieve a new power.
I wouldn't even put pass that Jakuho Raikoben takes the form of that missile because it is displeased with its master way of thinking, and when she finally comes around to have a heart to heart with it, the true power of her Zanpakutou will be released.
Maybe during the 10 years after the TYBW she may have even done that, i mean... if her Zanpankutou is a materialization of her soul, at this point it must have become fed up and started screaming in her head XD.
I think her being sneaky and fast plus a nuke type bankai is the perfect combo.
@@Alacaelum Speaking of Mayuri, I've thought for a while that perhaps his Zanpakuto's true power is actually the ability to be constantly modified as Mayuri's inquisitive mind wishes, and that is the basis for Mayuri's extensive changes to his Bankai that no other Shinigami seems to be capable of.
Would be cool if it turned into a sniper. She marks her target and her bankai follows the mark until it hits.
Man Shinji is the one character I wish got more love from Kubo. For me he some how steals the show every time he appears.
Well he will get a chance to reveal his bankai in part 2. And Maybe in part 2 instead fighting bambietta and get wrecked he could fight and drive off Cang du or bg9. It seems to make more sense.
I agree Shinj is apart of my top favorites in bleach
For me it's chad. He got done the worst imo.
Chad is dead man.
It don't even make sense how he got wrecked the way he did to promote other characters. It's like taking team mystery way tf out of the mix for ultra instinct shaggy to get yet another kill. They do it in sports, politics, dragon ball, naruto.. Shits wild man
I think novel make abundantly clear Zaraki is currently the strongest captain and with a decent margin. Kyoraku etc. can't defeat hikone, Zaraki does that without shikai or Bankai. Which is why Shunsui brings him as an ace to the valley of scream
Kenpachi physically is the strongest. I'm sure someone like Ichibe could wash Kenpachi. Yes, I know he isn't a gotei 13 member.
@@PrinceRevolver so random
Was it ever said that Shunsui can't beat Hikone? He never fought him.
@mas4336 it's not random. The point is skill and ability wise he can be beaten. Kenpachi in SS was already stated to be the strongest and a number of captains could have beaten him then as well.
@@PrinceRevolver so random
It's a shame what happened to Kensei, as his bankai apparently requires a master-level of Hakuda to even use, of which only 9 characters in the entire manga have.
Yess..true💔💔💔💔
who are those 4???
@@corndog7813 prob yoruichi, kensei, mashiro, and sui fēng
Master users are Aizen, Sui-Feng, Komamura, Mashiro, Kensei, Yoruichi, Yushiro, Kisuke and Yamamoto.@@corndog7813
@@cozmicmicWhat about Isshin and Yamamoto?
Iba has the Strongest Hairdo, so by default he is Top 5 🙃
In seriousness, hard to believe Iba became a captain when Hisagi, Ikkaku and Renji were more than powerful enough. Or bringing Love back, but I guess it's to honor Komamura.
Yes! We need more love
Hell yeah, Iba is badass
You're assuming they wanted to position. Renji basically wants to be the Captain of the 6th division due to Byakuya, and Ikkaku ain't leaving the 11th. Maybe Hisagi wants the 9th division.
@@perrywinkle5000 I don't think hisagi has any kind of ambition on becoming a captain, but he certainly would take the spot if necessary, like when he acted as an interim after Tousen's betrayal.
@Gabriel S. Violato he doesn't rlly have the right bankai for a captain role. But if I was one of the captains I'd instantly want him. He perfect otherwise. All I need him to do is pop his bankai and I'll come and kill the enemy after
Simply put Mayuri is like joker and batman combined into a weird love baby, insane enough to equal joker, cunning and smart enough to equal batman. Give him ample time he'd figure out an opponent but give him time he'd make himself an opponent, this man is simply unique.
the reason ive never had an issue with isane as a captain is due to her being the 4th's. as unohana's righthand i had no problem believing she's second to none as a healer in the gotei (squad0 notwithstanding ) and so as long as she has bankai she's golden in my eyes.
Personally I have a feeling Isane is a dark horse as a captain. Plus I suspect she knew her captain's true nature and may have even learned her combat arts behind the scenes of the story (we don't know what Isane is fully capable of because she's never had a proper fight). I also wonder if she has a sort of femfatal personality, where she appears innocent, but there maybe a dark side to her. I wonder if maybe her motivation to become Unohanna's successor as the squad 4 captain is because Zaraki murdered her mentor and maybe even Isane's best friend since they are around each other most of the series. Since she's a healer I wonder if her shikai and maybe bankai has both healing and destructive properties, where it maybe able to heal her and her allies but could be poisonous or drain their enemies reiatsu somehow. I think her bankai could potential be something unique like maybe a blizzard bankai, where the snow flakes heal her and her allies, but be acidic/poisonous to her enemies damaging them over time of even drained someones reiatsu the more the snow flakes fall on them
I want to see more of Isane, I just love her design and personality; imagine she has one of the most broken Bankai, I honestly think Unohana taught her more than just healing and actually swordsmanship, Isane definitely has a lot of potential and who knows maybe she just keeps her true skills hidden, she got defeated by Ichigo who was the same Ichigo who defeated Lieutenant Sasikibe who was already captain level
Kyoraku is by far my fav captain and normally ive a lot of issues with Kubos writing because he tends to stop developing a lot of his cast, but Shunsui was just the GOAT and I loved that he got this important in the TYBW
I enjoy these long videos. I really appreciate his analysis and hope his channel grows to the level it deserves.
I feel like Hyorinmaru has so much potential and it is one of the rare zanpakto that has the potential to be powerful as Ryujin Jakka
Very true. Look at the feats his perfected Bankai was pulling off despite the little we saw of it
His potential is already shown, or we can atleast speculate, while in adult form he can freeeze all elements and matter, AND negate abilities, if its true he can freeze concepts like he froze Gerards "hope" then that alone is already broken. I've seen a thread in twit comparing Hitsugaya and Yamaji, and it's pretty interesting even in their names, Yamamoto means mountain meaning he's the peak of how strong a shinigami is, and Hitsugaya means valley, as in he is the valley that will rise to the peak eventually.
By the time his body ages up to an adult Hitsugaya will likely be a candidate for Head Captain, Kyoraku himself believes he has the potential to be as strong as Yamamoto if he wants to be.
I am inclined to agree and if we get a full Hell-arc, I think there is a chance he could nab the top spot even if nothing happens to the others.
On the other hand Kubo seemed pretty hesitant to let Hitsugaya have any unambiguous or unqualified wins as he wrote the story. I guess I am saying Kubo’s handling of Hitsugaya was ver bipolar from a writing standpoint.
It is a "pure" elemental sword, just like Ryujin Jaka, and those are considered some of the strongest combat sword, so the potential is there.
I would eve say that Hitsugaya has a much greater potential that Genryuusai, with how young he unlocked his Bankai and the rate of his growth.
If he survives to reach Genryuusai's age... we would have another Captain Commander of that monstrous level.
I feel like a good parallel to make between Kyoraku and Yamamoto that I've never really heard anyone say is Ywach even states the reason Yamamoto beat him before is because he didn't care for his subordinates and would do whatever it took to beat him. Which is exactly what Kyoraku does from the moment he becomes the head captain. If you want to get deep I would say Yamamoto knew that even. Kyoraku's willingness to "play dirty" and win "by any means necessary" directly mirror his former head captain of the past. And I think with that in mind, if he had not been chosen as the knew head captain then the war would have been lost long before it ended
I love the cards you give for each character. They're very well put together
yep but the top 4 is hugely a failure
you have no idea how valuable the content you create is! a real joy to listen and learn!
I'm really interested in seeing if the anime adaptation of the Thousand Year Blood War will expand or "fix" fights that were disappointing in the original manga.
Kensei still lose :(
@xdzsxdxdxx still better than Rose
I just hope they make a way for Rose to lose that isn’t him telling Mask how to beat him
Ikr. I want the Rose & Kensei vs Mask fight to be re-choreographed. Have Rose and Kensei use their masks and allow Rose to fully showcase his Bankai. That would kill Mask, but just like any other anime bs, Mask still hears James’ voice in his head and gets resurrected to kill Rose with the star beam blast that killed him in the manga.
So, basically, the fight would still end with the 2 of them losing, but at least the fight will make more sense and more enjoyable
@@Sakanade__ TBH I think the entire arc could be re-written. The ideas where cool, but the Quincies powers were all over the place. Mask's powers were so bulshitty that when he lost I was like "ahh, no fucking way Renji won". The same with Valkyrie and LIlle Barro - They kept coming back so many times that at the end I was like "nah, I don't care anymore, those fights make no sense".
WOW! 35:00 Thank you for this! .. For helping me better understand the depths of Kyōraku's *awesomeness* .
The calmness he always has when he faces his enemies (& Yamamoto no less) says 💬!
Something I always found interesting (and that I’d love to hear your opinion on) was the way Rose and Kensei have philosophies that are polar opposites to their lieutenants’. For Rose, battle is artistic and beautiful, but for Izuru, battle is meant to be hellish and brutal, an evil to be avoided if possible. Shuhei fears death and doesn’t deal it lightly, he fears battle and takes any skirmish as seriously as though his life depended on it, and he fears and respects both the power of his opponents and the power he himself wields. Kensei destroys casually, underestimates opponents, and sees fear as weakness.
Art can be gloomy too. Hisagi and Kira were influenced Tousen and Gin.
@@MaciejWucow yes, of course their original captains shaped their philosophies, but I think it’s interesting to see how those conflicting ideologies effect their dynamics with their new captains, since, from what we’ve seen, it seems like only Rose is happy with the current arrangement, calling Izuru his muse, but Kensei seems frustrated and disappointed by Shuhei, and Shuhei now has an unreasonable meatheaded captain who’s coaching method is just kicking his ass, and how he feels about his childhood hero being nothing like he had imagined him to be.
I’d be curious to know how it effects Izuru to know that his attitude, his disdain for war and killing, fuels the creativity of Rose, an artist who’s medium is violence.
Absolute banger thumbnail. Looks really cool
The biggest thing keeping shinji from being a powerhouse is that his zanpakutou itself is inverted in the sensei that against a single powerfull enemy the bankai is worthless and the shikai is a lot better so in most circunstances he gets basically no powerup from his bankai
His issue is his Shikai can be an auto-win against some but has a very huge weakness, and it’s the enemy using an AOE attack (like Bambietta). Unfortunately for Shinji, many top class combatants have AOE attacks. I agree with someone else though that if he just attacked right after it activated it would work amazingly, he always sits there and talks. Maybe that’s a condition of the power, idk.
His Bankai is also just way too conditional in when it is useful.
If/when we get more Hell Arc stuff, I hope the Vizard captains, the vizard in general, get a good showing. It feels like they are suppose to be extremely strong, much stronger than they ever get to show. In theory, they are suppose to be way stronger than normal shinigami but their results just don't show it at all.
One of the most disapointing things about bleach is the absolute gutting of the vizards. Kubo made a bunch of really cool, lore important characters, and then gave them nothing to do and had them all get one shotted in the last arc. You would think that these characters, some of which who were already captain level, would be extremely powerful after activating their hollow form. But, nope, they are all religated to jobber status by the end of the story.
Love the longer videos personally! 🔥
Say what you want about how strong a captain he is in battle or otherwise, Mayuri is easily the hardest captain to kill, and it's not close. He's a cockroach.
He is a cockroach😂
If only we knew what Isane’s Bankai was, and how much she’s actually improved in the last ten years. For all we know, she could be much stronger than she was before.
I know she’d still place low on this list, but some new info would be nice.
Isane is one of my favorite characters, I want to see her shine in battle, maybe Unohana faught Isane more than just healing
I'd like to know IF her and Iba even have bankai. One would assume they did, else they wouldn't qualify as captains. And if they didn't, I can't imagine the other captains being ok with them getting promoted.
@@juniperjahir38 Absoltuely. Isane definitely knows more than healing. She’s proficient in many types of kido, including attack types, and has a shikai(and we assume she has a Bankai now that she’s a captain).
Isane may be a healer first but she Carrie’s her sword at all times. That makes her a combat medic, and they’re no joke in real life.
@Craig Johnson If I remember correctly it was stated every captain need a bankai as the only method in which someone attained the rank of captain without bankai was killing a captain in front of 100 officers which was how zaraki attained it and I wanna say it was kaname that mentioned this during his fight with zaraki
Maybe she doesn't have bankai
I know she's not that popular, but I love Soifon. That cold, stoic exterior that's clearly a front, based on how she speaks of and interacts with Yoruichi, her unique Shikai, her overall physical design, and her vast ability set just really endear her to me. Ironically, my least favorite character in the entirety of Bleach is her vice captain.
I like her design
Soifon is the strongest. I doubt anyone can survive her shikai.
@@Anhiksi I'm rereading Bleach for the first time, but if memory serves, Aizen deliberately let her hit him twice with it and basically said that because his spiritual power is greater, it wouldn't work on him.
I personally think her Bankai fits and is a good evolution from her shikai. Oh, 2-hit kill isn't good enough? How about a 1-hit kill to an entire block?
@@Onattamato I think a lot of people's problem with her Bankai is that it doesn't fit her role as the leader of the Assassination Corps. She's supposed to be stealthy, discrete, and a giant missile launcher isn't exactly subtle.
That's also _HER_ problem with it, incidentally enough.
Thank you amazing list and amazing analysis of every capitain character and personality in bleach
I am always impressed by Rose's Zanpakuto and its powers, but the man himself needs a bit more subtlety.
you cannot convince me otherwise that the reason Shinji underperforms in the series is due to the fact his shikai realistically speaking is busted and kinda has to be written around it.
I think anyone without AoE or Hax pretty much loses to Shinji unless they're just flat out stronger than him. Not many characters are adapting to Sakanade before getting killed without ways to avoid its effects.
@DonJulio exactly! realistically sakanade is able to give you multiple kill shots. like you said you either need to be bs strong like aizen or have attacks like bambietta to be able to counter shinji
Yes but AoE would realistically fuck it up as we already saw against Bambietta and he has no counter for that type of attack
@VerumRexNoir yes absolutely. aoe hard counters. my main thing tho is the inital surprice factor and how it facilitates multiple ez free hits and one-shot opportunities
@@Force-Multiplier How many people have similar attacks to bambi though, not many have so he's a hard matchup for lots of people.
Mayuri is the Batman of Soul Society. It's not about whether he can beat someone, it's about how much prep time does he have.
Great video, really appreciate you giving Isane a little more credit this time around.
Given the current information about these characters, I think this ranking is quite reasonable. Thanks, MrTommo2304.
Hopefully Iba will get a good fight to show what he's capable of. If so, I can easily see him going up 3 spots on the list. Plus it would definitely help the list if we actually knew everyone's Bankai and what it's capable of.
Iba was fodder. He struggled with ikkaku. And ikkaku struggled with and got his bankai broken by grimmjows fraccion. Why do people think ikkaku should be a captain ?
@@BigJohn303cause 10 years passed who knows what happened in those years
Shunsui has always been my favorite captain since I first saw him. I’m glad they gave him head captain
A masterpiece as always!
I appreciate the list comparisons with the colored arrows at the end. Makes my org-chart mind happy.
"But when you compare Hitsugaya to the remaining captains on the list, he nearly always falls short."
I see what you did there 😂
isane was always my favorite so it was so disappointing that she never really got to fight, especially since miss girl is always so ready to jump into one. i hope that if the hell arc continues we get to see what she can do as a fighter and a captain. anyway i definitely agree with this list and i hope everyone who sees this has a good day!!!!
Isane is a healer so chances of having a fight were always low.
@@MaciejWucow thats true, it still would be very cool to see
How can she possible be someone's fav character?
@@tolsty6187beach ep 😈
How did Isane become your fav? That’s so odd as she barely has screen time
totally agree with the top 6. very good list
Ooohhh I needed something to watch on my break 😂 also I LOVE THE THUMBNAIL 😂 you should post a whole pic with all the captains
Well it's a good thing that Soifon did all those pushups
Pretty good I can understand how some people might think toshiro placement might be controversial as well as maybe byakuya
thanks for another great video :)
I spotted your Way of kings and Mistborn books up there. Awesome, man.
Here's the thing, Kenpachi is over a thousand years old, Byakuya is barely almost centuries. Byakuya will be similar to Yamamoto and that he will become alot more dangerous as he ages.
You say this but byakuya is royal blood while kenpachi is a entity clearly never seen before besides very few freak examples
@@Sleepingcoffee979 The age difference is still true. Kenpachi is not a young dude, hes over thousand years old compared to what 180 years for Byakuya? They're meant to be rivals.
@Elmo914 age doesn't matter though in this context . Kenpachi also chained his talents for a thousand years and never truly practiced his craft until way later. If you look at it then byakuya had 250 years of pure training in the arts
@@Sleepingcoffee979 yes it does, it does massively. Soul reapers tend to get stronger as they age and gain more knowledge. Kenpachi is instinctually good at fighting. He’s not going to learn kido and shit, he has one fighting style that suits him, he’s like the hulk. Byakuya still has a lot of room for growth cause he’s still young. Kenpachi has way more fighting experience, better raw talent from birth. He represents the mutant trope, Byakuya is more like a late bloomer. He represents the Yamamoto route he will get more powerful as he ages.
@Elmo914 everyone get more dangerous the older they get though
The Vizards all got mad drip, they are theoretically so cool. Shinji has an incredible presence, Rose seems to have an artistic darkside, and Kensei seems like a take-no-crap boss. PLUS they have hollowfication which should take them just a tier above what's possible of most captains. But instead their hollows don't seem to help them that much and they just can't seem to get a good fight in-
great review, keep it up!
Excellent video 😁!
Mayuri is like the batman of the bleach universe, he probably has plans to take every captain down if they go out of check
With prep time and intel I think he could beat almost anyone lol. His drugs are stupidly OP.
Nah Mayuri is like the Dr. Doom of the bleach universe, he's the most dangerous because he always plans for unknown and uncommon events. Urahara is the Batman of Bleach, he knows of a threat and will plan for that threat, and if that plan falls through he has a plan to support the plan, and if that fails he has a backup plan with a support backup plan. While Mayuri is the mad scientist, Urahara is the scientific strategist.
My most favorite scene from Zaraki is when he goes "I'm going to grab my sword with TWO hands!" 🤣
I just have to say, what an INCREDIBLE thumbnail! Artistically beautiful really
Could you possibly do the vice captains? This is a great video, by the way!
3:14 I feel like Kubo always planned to have certain new arcs explored - even after Aizen and Yhwach. That's why he keeps a lot of those characters hidden and unused.
Either that or he uses them as very low ranked background characters which he is willing to give to other people to write about. Hisagi is probably a good example of that, where he got his full on moment in CFYOW.
I would actually expect we would get Iba do something in some arc. Maybe even thr Hellverse. We know he was high ranked Shinigami from squad 11 - picking progress over working in Zaraki's shadow. We also can see that he is one od the more muscular characters in the series. And with how close he became with Komamura - we could probably assume he has some physical ability as well, when it comes to his actual Shikai and Bankai (I mean squad 11 are notorious for not having kido based swords).
4:50 We probably can expect Isane to follow Unohana's legacy, not only just with healing, but also with zanjutsu to some extend. There has been a reason why she always wanted to jump in - and aside her temperament, I would assume is because she is a direct student of the first Kenpachi. And with a possible snow/ice based sword she probably can be formidable as well (if not for fighting then maybe helping to keep people alive by something like inducing hipothermic catatonic state we normally use for stroke victims).
I love Shunsui. He's like an upgraded version of Ryo Saeba.
What anime is he from

i do find it intriguing how one of the main requirements of becoming a captain is to be able to use their bankai, and since renji and ikkaku (and post cfyow hisagi) can use it but none are captains that means that isane, iba and lisa must all have a bankai. plus even if iba stated that he barely qualified to be a captain then that still means he ticked all the boxes. he could be op. this wouldnt be the first time that a member of the guards had already mastered bankai but had barely even shown their shikai!
I feel like isane having a ice type zanpakuto as a healer can make sense. Just as rukia can bring her temperature down, isane can do it at a smaller scale to essentially freeze her allies to slow down the progression of whatever ailes them. Put the body on ice.
Too many ice types
Congrats on 201k man, here's to 300!
I am SO glad that Iba is 13th, really. I talked with my friend about this before, but it really does seem like Iba's there to be some sorta placeholder. On top of that, it feels like he's only there for someone else to be a character that's to be severely outshined by many others. Specifically, the ones within his respective division. While I know it's only just within the one-shot, Rindo Atau's already stealing his spotlight. A very interesting character that utilizes something we've never seen before in Bleach (hand signs to unveil his shikai), and it actually feels like he'll play a good role within Hell Arc. Thank you for the vid, once again. As usual, you really get me even MORE hyped up for Bleach :)
As always a great video.
This does unfortunately make me sad for some of the poor writing of the Vizards.
Mayuri's bankai is my favorite one to say. In fact, it transcends bleach and ranks up there as one of my favorite anime phrases. Amongst the likes of Kaizoku ou ni ore wa naru
I was about to lose my shit at the beginning when you said the squad number for last place, that said I'd LOVE a video ranking every captain and former captain based on PEAK strength because I think my pick would be top 5
I agree more with this list than the list 3 years ago, because place my fave Rukia so low on the last list was frustrating
i think it would be cool to see a video on the strongest characters out of all the good guys and a video on all the bad guys in the whole story.
I can totally agree with this ranking and the whole analysis you did.
Maybe just Rukia and Soifon are interchangeables, depending if she has mastered better her power now. The last 3 as well, as the most recent captains with no real feats surely they're the weakest, but who knows for their new capabilities.
Technically Lisa has feats such as when she fought Hollow Ichigo, killed some Gillians, & fought Harribel to a standstill. Losing to Aizen or The Miracle doesn't really detract from her abilities. Kensei had a worse showing in that he loses offscreen to Wonderweiss while everyone else is fighting Aizen.
Awwsome video! Can you make one where you rank the strongest characters at their peak dead or alive…so top 10 strongest caharacters of all time
I love the byakuya part, well done sir
I wouldn't call Soifon's bankai useless. She just needs to actually train with it. She hates it so much she basically has little experience with it. Maybe with training she can summon it, and fire it faster without recoil. She talks about it being cumbersome. She needs to train moving around with it. Someone as fast as her with a rocket launcher just seems hilariously effective.
Kyoraku from his first showing to his last was gold to me . Feel in love at the first moment. He doesn't care to fight but unlike kinpaki ,he has 0 honor of battle. He literally doesn't care to fight. Not to mention his skills and intelligence in wvery metric is just insane
Good list
I’m New To Your Channel And Absoultely Love It. I Just Subscribed❗️Could You Do A Video On A What If Scenario Of UnoHana Being In The War Please❓
I hope this Hell Arc goes forward. Think there's a potential to see a lot more out of Bleach since it has such an ever growing expansive world an a litany of diverse characters.
I hope New material has been added to the TYBW arc in the anime especially for Kensei and the full potential of his bankai.
Excellent choices! My man Tommo ALWAYS coming with HEAT!
With all due respect, strength has many definitions. But since we are speaking of strength post Yamamoto, kyoraku having equal strength to his leadership he was an obvious replacement pick for Yamamoto as head captain (only because his "brother" was I'll stricken). Kenpachi can be called the definition of strength, not in the sense of war which includes strategy but as far as strength or strongest, he is 110%. The strongest soldiers are the not always the best leaders.
Exactly. In terms of being a leader and just being a threat Shunsui is dangerous but people don’t realize how strong Zaraki is. He’s been compared to Yamamoto and has been inferred to be as stronger as true shikai Ichigo.
@@krillin1081 cfow zaraki slaps yamamoto no diff.
Hell arc is after cfow.
@@Scorpy666 you’re literally retarded and just want to hear yourself talk and it’s clear that you haven’t even read the CFYOW novel because they literally directly compare Zaraki to Yama 1 to 1
@Josh Nelson CFYOW Zaraki might not even win in general. He had no answer to Yamas Bankai. And y’all are comparing 1 arm Yama to Zaraki not two arm who essentially is twice as stronger as he was when he fought Ywach the second time
@@krillin1081 HOS true shikai ichigo bitch slaps both of them
Glad to see byakuya getting the respect he deserves
@@bobflys bs byakuya stomps toshiro
@@youtubecensorshipisretardedtoshiro is actually quite overrated
@@youtubecensorshipisretarded he doesn’t feat wise and iq wise byakuya has more over toshiro
@@youtubecensorshipisretarded that’s assuming his power could beat byakuya, byakuya takes more than just iq
@@youtubecensorshipisretarded byakuya takes defense, speed other things but ultimately his experience would beat toshiro 1v1
Definitely agree with the vast majority, think rukia and Soifon should switch and maybe hitsuguya and Shinji because of his experience, but great overall! and an awesome vid
Although I don't recommend you make lengthy videos like this, I accept that when you do it is for a valid reason and is very acceptable. Continue on.
And who the hell are you? Your opinion doesn’t mean shit you’re not the one in control of this account
Yeah, my list would pretty much be the same.
Maybe the only things you could argue are:
1) maybe you could swap Kensei and Rose just for portrayal I always thought Kensei was the second strongest vizard but i could be wrong and Rose had a little better showing against Mask than Kensei so i'm not sure;
2) i think you could put Soi Fon even a little lower since she really didn't have a better showing than vizards and they SHOULD be really strong so i could be inclined to put her below them, at least below Rose and Kensei, but she still has her broken ability so i think it is also fair to put her above them;
3) maybe you could swap Zaraki and Kyoraku because I would assume Zaraki became better in controlling his zampakuto during the years between TYBW and the Hell arc, and that would be devastating, but it is speculation so probably i wouldn't do that;
4) you could argue for swapping Byakuya and Mayuri because Mayuri had maybe a little better showing during the war, but he did better than 99% of the cast so i don't think it's really fair and i think Byakuya being the perfect shinigami deserves the higher place;
5) to be fair since Shinji didn't really do anything good or bad during the war, i could see him a little lower or even a little higher, but in the end i think i would put him EXACTLY where you did.
REALLY good list.
I think Kubo can fix Soi Fong by saying she has mastered other abilities with her bankai. Perhaps it transforms around her limbs and makes her invisible or drastically increasing her speed to better help her assassin nature.
Iron man suit or being able to fire silent drones would fit her
Speed, sure. Invisability sounds too OP lol. If she was invisible anyone remotely close to her reiatsu level would just get two shotted before they even knew she was there.
Your videos butter My biscuits thank you
Gotta Love These Long Form Videos.
Never Apologize for the in-depth videos - that is why we sub sir.
Maiyori in my opinion fits perfectly in the original gotei 13 hes a former criminal incredibly powerful and heartless (for the most part)
A bit about Lisa. In the turn back the pendulum arc, Lisa is noticeably performing the best in combat against hollowfied kensei, better than love, better than rose, and arguably even straight up winning that fight. Compare that to Rose who does extremely poorly against hollowfied kensei... the power scale of the Visored is made pretty clear to us. Shinji is undisputedly the strongest of the Visored. Below him, Love, Lisa, and Kensei are all demonstrated to be comparable to one another, at least to the extent that they're all demonstrably stronger than the rest. Below them is Rose, who does distinguish himself when compared to Hiyori and Mashiro.
Things can change, especially over the 100 years and change since Turn Back the Pendulum. But, while we lack more meaningful positive feats to place Lisa's current power, we also lack meaningful positive power feats to claim Kensei and Rose are stronger now.
The reason why i have shunsui is number one as well is of his almost sinister personality. As you said, he will do everything to gain an advantage/win. One thing people do overlook as well is his physical prowess. I genuinely think that he is one of the fastest captains and besides kenpachi, one of the strongest physically.
Would you ever do a video speculating what the Karakura Team would like if they were all Soul Reapers?? Like would Uryu still have Quincy powers after he dies and goes to Soul Society or would Orihime still have her powers or would they manifest differently in a way that's similar??
I honestly felt like kubo could have made something more out of soi fons zanpaktou in the blood war seeing as she hates her bankai so much I figured it would have been perfect way to introduce her to her true bankai 😔
Well done. With the information we have so far, this list is very accurate.
However, it may need some tweaks once the Hell Arc continues. We have yet to see what growth has been achieved during the ten year skip.
Wait did you draw the characters for the placement cards? That’s really cool
Nice!
I have a what if for you. Suppose Ichimaru Gin and Aizen didn't betray anyone... when the quincys kill Yamamoto and Unohana fell, would have been a chance for Aizen to be captain commander instead of Kyoraku? Or even with Unohana there.
My ranking would be about the same, except for one position, and that is rank 1. If we take into consideration what we know about Kenpachi in the novel CFYOW. Kenpachi with just his shikai and no eye patch on, was able to cut down in one swing Ikomikidomoe, the hollow that gained so much power from absorbing a small fragmend of the SK from hikone, that he was able to negate Ichibei's bankai. I would dare say that Kenpachi has reached such a level of power that in a 1 vs 1 he would simply be able to negate everything Kyoraku throws at him, including his bankai. So I would definitely put Kenpachi at rank 1.
I don't understand why youtuber that read Bleach more than me doesn't even know this. Is he not read novel yet? Zaraki is on another level. I'm talking about Aizen and Ichigo level
Shunsui is OVERRATED
@@Manusia.satu1 yeah base Kenpachi destroys shunsui lol
@@Manusia.satu1 I wouldn't put him at Aizen and Ichigo's level, because he just doesn't have the potential to reach such a level of power like those 2, but yah, he is up there with the lower level of transcended beings.
@@Manusia.satu1 Did you actually watch the video? The rank isn't just based on the character's strength and Tommo mentioned several times if only strength is taken into account, then Kenpachi would be top 1. So your comment is nonsense.
@@fantomquest6330 yes ikr , strength doesn't define the winner
Rukia's bankai in theory is one of the most broken bankais in the entirely series, we really need to see how she's improved in Hell arc.
She's the strongest captain
It's broken for weak characters lol 😂. Characters with high reiatsu won't be affected by absolute zero temperature
No it's very much not. Even conceptually it's almost useless. It quite literally cannot work if she's the aggressor. She makes a hell of a roadblock, but that's about it. In case you forgot... that's Jidanbo's job in Soul Society. She didn't deserve the promotion to Vice Captain, and certainly isn't qualified to be a Captain. Don't get me wrong, I have nothing against her. She just gets way too much credit from losers who have an unhealthy connection to fictional waifus.
@@arandomguywithabrain as nodt aint weak lol
@@yasuhoismine1508 as nodt isn't even top 10 in sternritter ranking lol 😂 mid character
Well the Shinji battle question is going to get answered in the TYBW anime as it is now revealed that Shinji will get an original fight. It is not in the manga and is apparently one of two new fights made explicitly for the anime. Depending on how that fight goes, you might have to bump him up.
