Ok... so this is something i really need to write because I've been getting ALOT of comments about how i ranked every kenpachi. Alright so, spoilers down below in this message, make sure to watch the video 1st! Let me 1st start out by saying this video was made almost over 10 months ago. It has recently been getting thousands of views which im grateful for. But around the time of making this video, the translations for SAFWY were crap, and people's interpretation of certain parts of the novels are different. Not alot people liked that i put Azashiro above both Unohana and Kuryushiki. They think Azashiro should be below them. I agree because my opinion and interpretation has recently changed. But let me tell you why i thought the way i did. I think the real issue here is the fact that Azashiro was able to destroy kuryushiki's insides, but when he tried to do it to kenpachi, it was stated that his organs are as hard as steel. It's weird cause is this a spiritual pressure thing or just a Kenpachi Zaraki thing? If it is a spiritual pressure thing, than kuryushiki SHOULD NOT have died from Azashiro destroying his insides. The guy was literally known to have crazy amounts of spiritual pressure. But my opinion and how i interpret safwy has changed recently. Let's say this was a spiritual pressure thing, i would put Azashiro below unohana because she was destroying a much stronger kenpachi hundreds of times. Kuryushiki dying from that move even though he had crazy amounts of spiritual pressure, but kenpachi not dying because his organs are as hard as steel is just a weird situation. They should have never made Kuryushiki die from this. Another thing is that people have said Azashiro himself said that if kuryushiki used banaki then he would have lost. But Azashiro said he "COULD" have died if kuryushiki used banaki in the beginning of their fight. But even then Azashiro could have just merged with the air if he wanted to, OR KURYUSHIKI... Which he DID do. Overall stat wise kuryushiki stomps Azashiro but his hax is ridiculous. I honestly think Azashiro and kuryushiki could go either way. The novels safwy and cfyow scaling is HORRIBLE, and at the time the translations were crap. So now i do agree that 1. Kenpachi 2. Unohana 3. Kuryushiki 4. Azashiro With 3 and 4 being the ones that can be switched around
It's crazy that Unohana was the only one who saw true Aizen Shikai not? Then Unohaha was the only and the first Kenpachi who didn't die Until Zaraki's training. So how is Aizen going to say there are only 2 people he that can stop him, clearly he didn't know Unohana's past or what she can do or how strong she is!
The fact that unohanna didnt see any other kenpachi worthy of killing her just proves they werent on her level an even stated multiple times she is the strongest outside of yammamoto
I LOVE characters like Azashiro Kenpachi, glass canon characters just seem so interesting knowing they could get beaten by weaker characters yet their powers allow them to beat people way out of their league.
Couldn't Unohana's kaido make a difference during her battle with Azashiro? You took into account that Unohana killed Kenpachi a countless number of times but not that she was also using energy to revive Kenpachi so many times. This would tire her out. You also pointed out she died from being impaled through the throat as problem with her durability but she healed a wound in her chest she could fit her hand in and that throat stab was at the end of the battle after releasing her bankai. She then revived them both from basically death. If she can heal someone from almost complete disintegration then I dont see how Azashiro could survive long enough to win? Love your content bro. Love the interactions as well. Bluur is big into Bleach and doing collabs. Tommo is always a good pick too.
Thanks for commenting! I agree with what your saying. I feel like out of everyone on the list both Unohana and Azashiro could go either way during their battle. I actually had a hard time switching the 2 around
She wanted to die that’s why she died it’s that simple I don’t see anyone being actually able to beat her besides Yamamoto (also don’t say Aizen, he is overrated and plenty of people can beat him in bleach)
Well yeah given that Yamamoto only taught him how to use a sword with 2 hands and that's it nothing else. Cause they fear he'd be to powerful and wouldn't be able to contain him.
It is specifically stated that Azashiro was greatly damaged after he fused with Kuruyashiki's insides to kill him, IMO there's a good chance he would die if he tried that with Unohana.
I agree! My opinion has recently changed on a few things, but i do think unohana would probably kill him. After all she only found kenpachi zaraki to be stronger than her
I just wanna say, that Unohana's bankai is not acid in my opinon. Considering of how she is a kido master with healing (learning from Krinji himself), she's using her own blood from ANY injury to convert it using kido. She can make her own blood acidic, to make herself look like as though her skin melts to the one she faces and reflect that image upon themselves. This make sensei with the picture we see in the manga AND Bleach Brave Souls, where we see her hand touching the wound that makes it later on bloody (not acid) and THEN the acid part comes into contact with others
No. Strongest:Unohana/8th kenpachi cuz it could go either way Zaraki died and had to be revived way too many times which shows us that theres a huge gap between zaraki and unohana
@@thevenom7599 That was the second time they fought...which was explained in the very same fight in the chapters/episodes that you're referring to. The only reason Zaraki is "weak" now is because when he first fought Unohana he won and she even admitted he was much stronger than her which gave her the scar she carried on her throat. Not wanting to ruin his fun he placed his own "scar" on his mind to limit his powers because he didn't want to lose his fun in fighting. This is why Unohana mentions that they both scarred each other in their past fight, hers being a wound and Zaraki's being mental. The second "fight" only happened because central 46 wanted Zaraki to be brought back and his Bankai awakened.
The reveal about Unohana's past and true nature is brilliant by epic proportions, but I think the drawback in this is that since we never did see her have her moment to show just how much of a force of nature she is apart from her last moments with Zaraki and some flashbacks is that people have doubts about the claims and presented facts about her. I think she's second to just Yamamoto.
@@CaptainHavoc I just read their wiki and apparently at the time Azashiro became a captain, Roka and other arrancar went to the living world (250 years ago). And since he fought Kenpachi in the Novel more recently, maybe Roka can now use it, since she her ability records everything. Well, if she was able to see the entire TYBW arc... then it's even worst 😱
I think Unohana is #2 above Azashiro because of her insane healin ability, high intelligence, swordmanship, and huge reiatsu. Her reiatsu could actually nullify Azashiros hax abilities to a degree plus her high intelligence and experience could be used to further outwit him in my humble opinion. Obviously kingpin Zaraki is #1 over them all. Some people claim Unohana could best him but the reality is, Zaraki was already more powerful then her just as a young boy with no shikai or bankai while she was a full grown, heavily experienced woman. She even admitted herself that Zaraki was her better at that youthful age. None the less, this was a great video and now I can't wait for the tybw arc to be animated and for the hell arc to be released so I can witness some Zaraki Kenpachi greatness!
Thanks! I agree 100% check my pinned comment. I've said this recently that unohana is definitely below kenpachi even though some people think she could beat him. She admitted to being weaker than a kid kenpachi lol
Golden rule: there can only be one kenpachi Unohana: what rule? Fvck the golden rule, there's no worthy enough opponent to battle, you kenpachi no. 2 why don't you take my spot, enjoy it as you like, im pretty bored i'll just take my break and wait for eternity to see if there's someone who can satisfy me in battle. Eternity later...after 10 generations, oh Zaraki you're still weak, i'll revive you over and over again so you can go stronger 100 times... After reviving 100 times... Fvck this game, im done. Zaraki just go ahead and kill me
I'm pretty sure unohana didn't survive because she knew that kenpachi was at his former state. She did what she needed, but you can't really assume she wouldn't be able to heal that if she did 100 tiems
Kiryoshikis bankai was banned so that’s the only reason he lost to azashiro and considering he was invited to zero division he could be even stronger than zaraki, we should find out more about him that’d be cool
About being invited to squad zero, it's a weird one for me because we know that the members of squad zero had all created something or contributed to the development of soul society somehow and we don't know what he created. And we are not made aware of strength being taken into consideration. Yamamoto, Shinsui, Unohana, Zaraki were all super strong but there was never any mention of them being invited
He didn't lose to Azashiro because his bankai was banned, he himself and Azashiro said that they lost due to holding back and with his last breath he said that he broke the rule that every Kenpachi shouldn't break and suffered the consequences.
Unohana and Kenpachi is still debatable because she didn't heal herself after getting stabbed in the throat. Physically stronger I agree but because of hax I think Unohana could really win if she wanted.
By her own admission she couldn't. She only beat young Zeraki because he began sealing away more and more of his power. That's why she said it was her sin and why she spent so much effort reviving him over and over until he recovered all that sealed power. Why she went into that fight intent on dying. Imagine being the greatest martial artist (doesn't have to be martial artist, it could be anything really. Musician, artist, craftsmen, etc) in the world, then finding someone even better, only for them to cripple themselves so you could remain the best.
I actually agree with this to an extent that she let herself be killed because her ONLY job was to get kenpachi to his original level. It's late here so i maybe can go over it in detail tomorrow. Or you can join discord
Not really. Unohana herself admitted zaraki, as a kid without Shikai or bankai, was stronger than her. It’s all crystal clear in the manga. There are no debates there, let alone a grown up zaraki with shikai and bankai.
Dang unohana insane in skills and power to add so she would be a true immortal if she took that route We had a missed opportunity with unohana vs aizen in anime but she had to heal the protagonists
@@CaptainHavoc on the real who you had winning with aizen vs unohana In first meeting I got unohana with the upset before aizen goes into his beyond soul reaper god powers
I mean if she ended up weaker than sealed Kenpachi, then she just gets outscaled by a decent amount on the Gotei's side Kenpachi, Byakuya, Toshiro, Kyoraku, Yoruichi, her brother, Urahara, Mayuri, Full Power Nemu, the 0 Squad etc. Basically anyone that can fight Quincy Elites. It's unfortunate but she got power crept extremely quickly
@@jocoolshow Unohana never got power crept. She is definitely above Byakuya, Yoruichi's brother, Urahara and Mayuri in power and skill. Just being one of the greatest medics is enough for Unohana to be there, but she believed herself to be a sinner for crippling Kenpachi and so her desire was to die. She never cared about fighting after Kenpachi.
@@khulmach9662 TYBW Bankai Byakuya is comparable to or above TYBW Bankai Kenpachi. Unohana was weaker than Base Sealed Zan Kenpachi. (She said he regained the strength he had as a kid). Then Kenpachi potentially got a soul zenkai after his fight with Gremmy and the Quincy girls jumping him. So the Kenpachi that fought Gerard base to base > the Kenpachi that fought Unohana, and he used Shikai and Bankai in that fight Mayuri fought Perninda who had literally adapted to this stronger Kenpachi's base level (though with the eyepatch on). Then Perninda had Vollstandig and such which would be a bigger boost than the Eyepatch and Mayuri held his own. Compare this to Unohana who's weaker than Base Kenpachi (Eyepatch off) Yoruichi's brother fought Askin in base, and Urahara fought Askin in Vollstandig. Askin in his base form was comparable to Yoruichi herself, and CFYOW states that Yoruichi and Base Byakuya are on the same level of power. The same Byakuya that's comparable or stronger than TYBW Kenpachi Skill wise is debatable. Byakuya mastered all of the basic 4 Shinigami arts, though if we say Unohana has better Zanjutsu and Kido, I'll give you that. Urahara mastered all of the 4 Shinigami arts too, but yo a higher degree than Byakuya based on what we've seen from his backstory and all his fights. I'd give Unohana the edge over everyone besides Yama in terms of swordsmanship and everyone besides Kirinji in terms of healing Kido, but I got Urahara over her in terms of normal Kido and the other areas Unohana isn't weak and I ain't downplaying her, it's just the story gave her a hard cap by stating she's weaker than Kid Kenpachi/Base TYBW Kenpachi
Azashiro is #0, his power is limitless and that's why he's 8 as 8 rotated 90 degrees is ∞. The only problem with him is he doesn't realize his full potential, nor is he trained to overcome his weaknesses. He could technically fuse with each zanpakuto, giving him the power of possession, could easily make the zanpakutos attack their own masters. He could also nullify absorption powers (one of his weaknesses) by possession or redirection(uryu absorption of reiatsu can be redirected).
I love how after 10 generations of every Shinigami who succeed in the title kenpachi, Kenpachi Zaraki, the 11th holder of the 11 Division, feel like too much of a coincidence, is the only one who truly inherited it. Like the rest were there to keep the title warm.
I think the concept of the Kenpachi is brilliant. That way the Gotei 13 made sure they would always have a secret weapon that is the benchmark of the current generation of Shinigami. Like in Star wars with the rule of two. The next kills the previous one and that can only happen if the successor is stronger. That's why Unohana was always weaker than Zaraki. That was 10 generations of power being built up when Zaraki defeated Kiganjo.
I think cuz unohana's bankai isn't properly explained and that's why she landed in the third place even though I think her bankai would be able to counter Azashiro's bankai. When we see her use minazuki in the manga, it is theorize that the blood like substance is acidic and it immediately melts off flesh until there is nothing but bones left and it can also instantly heal and reformed and damaged organ or body and that was probably how she kept killing Zaraki with her bankai. So if that is true and it most likely is since there's no other explanation for her bankai, I think she can survive getting her organs and insides destroyed because when she uses her bankai she's literally nothing but bones. The reason why she wasn't able to heal the stab through her throat from Zaraki however definitely was not because she was unable to but it was because she didn't want to live. If anyone paid attention to the manga, you guys should already know that she plans to die in the fight with Zaraki just so that she can truly pass on the title of the kenpachi to Zaraki and also have him unlock his full potential. It's 100% that she could've healed her wound if she wanted to just like how she kept bringing Zaraki back to life but she chose to die and sacrifice herself instead just so that Zaraki can be the one true kenpachi
I truly hope that in this hell arc every kenpachi who died that we haven't seen in their full abilities will return to see who the strongest rlly is even tho it's kenpachi I want to see what the man who was called from squad 0 can do
@@CaptainHavoc Hard to say, but we know he was impressive enough to be given an offer to join the zero squad. And his bankai is even forbidden to be used in the seireitei. You could take that as a flex to how destructive his bankai may be. Do I dare say he’s probably around Shunsui’s level or below? At the very least, he could be close to a senior captain’s level.
@@chillguy7687 He's definitely Shunsui level. He killed a Vasto Lorde before Aizen powered them up through Hogyoku. I would argue he could be above them. As Shunsui said it's all about compatibility.
Obviously it's Kenny and he's my favourite character but *MAN* I love Unohana and her story. You go through most of it with her as a dedicated medic with a heart of gold, one of the sweetest and most beautiful characters in the story. Then Shunsui unchains the beast and the art style change with her facials.. my God and the voice acting change when she could be her true self again was unreal. It sucks we don't see her truly get to cut loose against the Quincies but all the love for the crazy lady none the less
Zaraki wasn't nerfed he just loves fighting to the brink of death hence why he matches his rieatsu with his enemy like his fight with Ichigo as said by aizen when he was speaking with azishiro
For the first guy you talk about by that point kenpachi zaraki was already only using i think 5% of his power bc of the fight against unohana when he was younger
Yea he fought a kenpachi who already restrained himself to be on the level of unohana. Plus he didn't have his eye patch yet so that kenpachi is very strong
You collab with a another bleach enthusiast it should probably be DBZ Imran!! You are both very informative and very insightful also both having a lot of knowledge and articulacy!
I'm a little confused about your statement from 13:00. Unohana was able to injure and destroy Kenpachi's vitals organs hundreds of times and revive him each time and so her not being able to heal her throat should be attributed to other factors and not that she is unable to do so. Because it makes no sense that she can heal those injuries on Zaraki but can't do so to herself. The logic in that is nonexistent. Especially when we saw her heal herself after a hole the size of her hand was created in her chest. I'm just lost and confused by that
So i agree with what you said. I think the real issue here is the fact that Azashiro was about to destroy kuryushiki's insides, but when he tried to do it to kenpachi, it was stated that his organs are as hard as steel. It's weird cause is this a spiritual pressure thing or just a kenpachi thing? If it is a spiritual pressure thing, than kuryushiki SHOULD NOT have died from Azashiro destroying his insides. The guy was literally known to have crazy amounts of spiritual pressure. But my opinion and how i interpret safwy has changed recently. Let's say this was a spiritual pressure thing, i would put Azashiro below unohana because she was destroying a much stronger kenpachi hundreds of times. Kuryushiki dying from that move even though he had crazy amounts of spiritual pressure, but kenpachi not dying because his organs are as hard as steel is just a weird situation. To answer your other question, yea we see unohana healing like crazy and bringing kenpachi back to life but she in fact did die from a sword to her throat.
@@CaptainHavoc Oh Yeah I am aware that she did die from that. It just baffles me with how it ended. Because she learnt healing techniques to prolong her fights. Do you think she let herself die then? Or that she was exhausted or something? Because it is a weird way for her specifically to die. She wasn't killed immediately and so she had enough time to heal herself if she wanted to. Or is that a stretch? About Zaraki and Kuryushiki, honestly, it still doesn't make sense to me. Yes we know Zaraki has huge amounts of spiritual pressure. But so did Kuryushiki. Could be that Kuryushiki had less than Zaraki did at the time. But then that will be disappointing given that the Zaraki at the time was "nerfed".
I agree! This is actually a topic me and the guys on discord talked about recently. It's almost obvious that unohana DEFINITELY let herself die because her only job was to get kenpachi back to his former strength. And there can only be 1 kenpachi. I thought about making a video on this. It could be possible that kuryushiki had less spiritual pressure than kenpachi at that time but like you said it would be disappointing since it was a nerfed kenpachi. Plus kuryushiki was hyped up. Honestly the problem is the novels lol. Kenpachi even survived hundreds of hado #96 and didn't die. Safwy have some sketchy things about it that don't add up. Especially cfyow.
That is bleach in its entirety pretty much. Cool but if the original content couldn’t be explained by the author, you can’t expect others to make sense of it. Doesn’t mean it’s not fun to hear people try though!
Possible even higher, People don't understand how limitless Azashiro's potential is. He is the only Kenpachi who didn't get the chance to train, and still was strong.
In chapter 104 of bleach it was stated that the Title Kenpachi was given to the person who killed the most people. I always got the impression that it meant the person with the title Kenpachi loves to fight and kill. When did it get changed to being the strongest?
I think it's everything you mentioned plus what i mentioned. The title of kenpachi seems to have more than 1 meaning. 1 the title is given to the shinigami who loves to fight the most, and who has killed the most people. Stated by hinataro. Chapter 104. Then kenpachi says himself that the title is usually given to the strongest shinigami. Chapter 114
I love Kuruyashiki and even tho we dont have much info on him except he was killed by Azashiro i still do think with his bankai that he is the 2nd strongest Kenpachi
@@CaptainHavoc Idk i still think Kuruyashiki is possibly 2nd juust cause oof him stating the bankai is more powerfull and if he used it Azashiro would have possibly lost
Imagine putting Kuruyashiki below Azashiro. Azashiro literally said that Kuruyashiki would have beaten him had he used his Bankai. Imo the order: 1. Zaraki 2. Unohana / Kuruyashiki 3. Kuruyashiki / Unohana 4. Azashiro
Negative. Azashiro said he "COULD" have died if kuryushiki used banaki in the beginning of their fight. But even then Azashiro could have just merged with the air if he wanted to, OR KURYUSHIKI... But despite of what you said. I do agree with your ranking. This video was made over 10 months ago and is recently now getting thousands of views i didn't expect. I think the real issue here is the fact that Azashiro was about to destroy kuryushiki's insides, but when he tried to do it to kenpachi, it was stated that his organs are as hard as steel. It's weird cause is this a spiritual pressure thing or just a kenpachi thing? If it is a spiritual pressure thing, than kuryushiki SHOULD NOT have died from Azashiro destroying his insides. The guy was literally known to have crazy amounts of spiritual pressure. But my opinion and how i interpret safwy has changed recently. Let's say this was a spiritual pressure thing, i would put Azashiro below unohana because she was destroying a much stronger kenpachi hundreds of times. Kuryushiki dying from that move even though he had crazy amounts of spiritual pressure, but kenpachi not dying because his organs are as hard as steel is just a weird situation. The novels safwy and cfyow scaling is horrible. And at the time the translations were crap. So now i do agree that 1. Kenpachi 2. Unohana 3. Kuryushiki 4. Azashiro
My ranking would be: Azashiro: limitless potential and hax (also underrated) Kurayashiki: broken but has a risky bankai Zaraki: basically has hax uped zenkai boost Unohana: has the most stable zanpakuto and could have beaten Kenpachi at muken if she wanted to, although Zaraki without mental restraints is stronger by a clear margin. P.S People don't really understand the nature of fights in bleach, Bleach isn't like the other animes where the strongest would always win If that was the case, shikai Ichigo after the match with Zaraki would have won against Byakuya. I don't know how to explain this thing but it's just like how Shunsui stated in SAFWY "One would beat a Vasto Lorde but can still lose to a Gillian" The fights in Bleach are supposedly Contradictive so don't suppose that the strongest one will always win. Bleach isn't the franchise where the stronger one will always win.
My mind is always changing and i 100% agree with you. Azashiro is a complete monster and only lost to kenpachi because of Kenpachi and because he was weakened. Kuryushiki a monster also. I like your ranking
@@CaptainHavoc Thanks, I noticed how you are so respective of others opinions while also having your own, I appreciate it. And btw what are your favorite characters? Mine are Azashiro, Aizen, Don Kanonji.
Sorry about the late reply and of course! Goated favorite characters man! My favorite character is Mayuri. He became my favorite during tybw. Azashiro is also one of m6 favorites along with kenpachi and Jugram maybe
Unahana for second place. When he can desintegrate Zaraki and revive him over and over. I think unahana can counter the inner destruction the bankai can cause. The wound on her throat is something she is ashamed of. She underestimated young Zaraki and yes it was some critical hit but nothing she cannot heal instantly. The amout of reiatsu she must have possed to regenerate some over and over again from bones must be outlandish. By the way, in the final fight she is unlocking zaraki full potential rather than kill him. Would she went for kill she could have done it, i think. Zaraki always has stated that she is the one to fear. He is brute strenght but she is death
Golden rule: there can only be one kenpachi Unohana: what rule? Fvck the golden rule, there's no worthy enough opponent to battle, you kenpachi no. 2 why don't you take my spot, enjoy it as you like, im pretty bored i'll just take my break and wait for eternity to see if there's someone who can satisfy me in battle. Eternity later...after 10 generations, oh Zaraki you're still weak, i'll revive you over and over again so you can go stronger 100 times... After reviving 100 times... Fvck this game, im done. Zaraki just go ahead and kill me
There is one thing you are not considering here. Not once when she "bested him" in their fight was he at his full strength. He was stronger than her as a child and suppressed himself and didn't fight to his fullest when he noticed he was going to win. That was when he was a kid. when he unleashed power that was above Unohana she could no longer beat him. That was the goal she was tempering him and fixing him, correcting what she thought was her sin for making him suppress himself due to her weakness. He was always stronger than her. He just suppressed himself, plenty of people could have killed Zaraki at any given point if they just did it fast enough before he could remove his limiters or if he underestimated them, he never gave anyone that opportunity though. He limited himself to what his opponent could do. He needed more power than what removing his limiters gave him to beat unohana, he needed to fix his broken mindset too, which is what the fight was about.
if it is a plain field 1 v 1, no doubt zaraki, his full power is still unknown, well with a little bit of his bankai he can rip soul kings heart arm easily, but in a different situation may be azashiro,
The thing is, some of the other kenpachi were written by other authors. It’s destined for Zaraki to be the strongest. All the others were added later after Unohana and Zaraki.
I know they claim Yami is the strongest Espada but we all know Ulquiorra was really the strongest. I would even argue that if Kenpachi ran up on Ulquiorra in his Segunda Etapa form it’s possible he would’ve lost. Another thing is I think Unohana could possibly still be the strongest is because of the name Yachiru which means 8 thousand styles in which if it was a serious battle before Azashiro could use his immune technique I think he would die. Just my opinion
retsu's fight with kenny is similar to itachi vs sasuke cause she only died due to him cause 1.) she needed someone to take over as the next kenpachi, 2.) she needed kenny to unlock his shikai and bankai.... if anyhting retsu is the strongest kenpachi already stated.
Do you read manga? She's clearly stated that zaraki always in the restricted state subconsciously because he likes to enjoy fighting. Unohana herself said that kid zaraki would have killed her if zaraki doesn't held back his power subconsciously. That's why she's trying to awaken zaraki. Get over it kid
@@MadiKenpachi92 🤦🏾♂️ buddy shunsui said once toshiro bankai matured he’d be stronger then him… In they Tybw toshiro Bankai matured….so does that mean toshiro>> then shunsui? 🤦🏾♂️ it doesn’t and as for retsu she never once added her bankai into the factor and we all know a Shikai and bankai is 10X multiplier meaning she’d still have a 20X multiplier gap over kenpachi. And during the fight restu was getting weaker and weaker while Kenny was getting stronger and stronger… ofc she’d eventually die cause she’s running out of energy and stamina while she give Kenny more energy and stamina every time she kills him… and she killed him with ease.. and the kenpachi was trying to help release was Shikai Kenny. Cause remember what she said and they people Kenny has a chance to fight… yhwach was on that scan so if you think base Kenny or kid Kenny has a chance to even damage SK yhwach then you are smoking. What I’m saying is y’all don’t know what retsu was actually talking bout cause again when retsu died she told Kenny he had other people to fight and AGAIN YHWACH was on the list and base Kenny or Shikai and bankai Kenny ain’t beating yhwach… retsu was talking bout Kenny potential YA the same potential that got Kenny of the war threat list that yhwach made that’s the Kenny that retsu is talking bout that’s the Kenny retsu was hinting at when she said he’s stronger 🤦🏾♂️.. next time y’all should actually read between the damn lines and try to figure out what the characters are actually saying 🤦🏾♂️ you should know bleach characters just don’t say shit straightforwardly. Now I hope you understand what I tryin to was say.
Soya Azashiro is by far one of the most powerful and dangerous characters in the history of soul society. If you know his powers. He could merge and control with practically anything.. and destory you from the inside out.. and thats without him using bankai.
I think the fault in saying weakest and strongest lies in our definition of it. Azashiro wasn't the strongest Kenpachi. He just had a very hax ability and was constantly using his Bankai. If every Kenpachi came into the fight with their Bankai he's probably not even top 3. Regardless I agree with you. Unohana would use any and every dirty trick in the book to kill him. Best case scenario for Azashiro is the both die.
I honestly would not mind if they retconned Kiganjo to have put up more of a fight against Zaraki. If the novels ARE canon, then this is the guy who KILLED the dude who KILLED AZASHIRO. Yet he just dies to Kenpachi in one hit. I really hope he appears in the Hell arc. Side Note: Kiganjo is the only Kenpachi apart from Unohana and Zaraki whose canonicity is non-negotiable. He's appeared in manga pages while Kuruyashiki and Azashiro appeared in novels. So yeah, I really hope he does something in the hell arc
Azashiro never died tho. He got banished to the muken (underground prison that aizen got sent to). The kenpachi that replaced him was probably some unproven shinigami since he got the kenpachi title for free.
Noitra didnt say he was the strongest espada, he said he had the strongest skin. Also Gremmy was the strongest Sternritter not Espada. The espada were hollows and sternritter were quincy
Ichinose Maki was really one of the only good things about the Bount arc. And even then, it was his Zanpakuto I liked, not really the man himself. Same for some of those dolls the Bounts used; found them more entertaining than the ones using 'em.
4:06 Ohh the guy seems pretty reasonable and cool "He summons bear sized balls with no eyes, just teeth" JESUS no wonder he was a Kenpachi he is scary as fuck
think kiganjo should have been second behind kenpachi because azashiro stated that he would have lost if kiganjo was serious from the beginning and used bankai.
ulquiorra respect him....most bad ass espda and one of the most intelligent..zaraki is number 1 i agree kenpachi but number 2 will always be unahona... respect to all kenpachi captains...what makes zaraki dangouros is his spiritual preasure it flactuates depending his openent at that time there fighting kinda like ichigo... its hard to measure riatsu which has no proper limit to it..
Like it or not Retsu is the strongest. She wasn’t trying to kill kenpachi when they fought but make him stronger and carry on the true Kenpachi name. That was the first fight Kenpachi genuinely seemed out of options. Or did you forget that she literally killed Kenpachi multiple times but was healing him constantly lol
We actually had this discussion on discord recently. That unohana's only job was to get kenpachi back to his former strength. Then after she did, she let herself be killed
@@CaptainHavoc if you read into the official notes and novels by Kubo he stated that a Kenpachi can’t exist without the former dying. So from a technical perspective there has only ever been two Kenpachis, Retsu and Zaraki, because no one ever killed Retsu and took her title
She isn't. At all. She fought base kenpaxhi and was surpassed by him when he removed his limiter. She straight up admit inferiority to base Kenny who removed his limiter, yet apparently she beats bankai fucking kenpachi? Did you not read the series, you moronic bitch? You human trash? SHE. KILLED. SEALED. KENPACHI.
@@paulduffy5288 first of all you obviously don’t read the data books and secondly you calling people “bitches” and trash” just makes you look like an ignorant monkey, than again you’re probably American so that might explain it
Bad list imo. Azashiro literally said he'd get stomped by kuruyashiki if he used his bankai. No captain other than zaraki in tybw was as strong as unohana. The idea that shunsui is stronger than unohana is ridiculous. The correct order is 1.Zaraki 2. Unohana 3. Kuruyashiki 4. Azashiro
Negative. Azashiro said he "COULD" have died if kuryushiki used banaki in the beginning of their fight. But even then Azashiro could have just merged with the air if he wanted to, OR KURYUSHIKI..The idea of Shunsui being above unohana isn't ridiculous. You thinking it's ridiculous because she said no one is stronger than her but kenpachi? I can list a load of reasons why Shunsui vs unohana is debatable. But despite of what you said. I do agree with your ranking. This video was made over 10 months ago and is recently now getting thousands of views i didn't expect. I think the real issue here is the fact that Azashiro was about to destroy kuryushiki's insides, but when he tried to do it to kenpachi, it was stated that his organs are as hard as steel. It's weird cause is this a spiritual pressure thing or just a kenpachi thing? If it is a spiritual pressure thing, than kuryushiki SHOULD NOT have died from Azashiro destroying his insides. The guy was literally known to have crazy amounts of spiritual pressure. But my opinion and how i interpret safwy has changed recently. Let's say this was a spiritual pressure thing, i would put Azashiro below unohana because she was destroying a much stronger kenpachi hundreds of times. Kuryushiki dying from that move even though he had crazy amounts of spiritual pressure, but kenpachi not dying because his organs are as hard as steel is just a weird situation. The novels safwy and cfyow scaling is horrible. And at the time the translations were crap. So now i do agree that 1. Kenpachi 2. Unohana 3. Kuryushiki 4. Azashiro
I feel the whole unohana thing was just so random out of nowhere it just bothers me we never got to see her fighting with her real powers against aizen and the likes wasted potential imo and then she just dies to kenpachi even though she couldve been a great help in the upcoming battles
Ok... so this is something i really need to write because I've been getting ALOT of comments about how i ranked every kenpachi. Alright so, spoilers down below in this message, make sure to watch the video 1st!
Let me 1st start out by saying this video was made almost over 10 months ago. It has recently been getting thousands of views which im grateful for. But around the time of making this video, the translations for SAFWY were crap, and people's interpretation of certain parts of the novels are different. Not alot people liked that i put Azashiro above both Unohana and Kuryushiki. They think Azashiro should be below them. I agree because my opinion and interpretation has recently changed. But let me tell you why i thought the way i did.
I think the real issue here is the fact that Azashiro was able to destroy kuryushiki's insides, but when he tried to do it to kenpachi, it was stated that his organs are as hard as steel. It's weird cause is this a spiritual pressure thing or just a Kenpachi Zaraki thing? If it is a spiritual pressure thing, than kuryushiki SHOULD NOT have died from Azashiro destroying his insides. The guy was literally known to have crazy amounts of spiritual pressure. But my opinion and how i interpret safwy has changed recently. Let's say this was a spiritual pressure thing, i would put Azashiro below unohana because she was destroying a much stronger kenpachi hundreds of times. Kuryushiki dying from that move even though he had crazy amounts of spiritual pressure, but kenpachi not dying because his organs are as hard as steel is just a weird situation. They should have never made Kuryushiki die from this.
Another thing is that people have said Azashiro himself said that if kuryushiki used banaki then he would have lost. But Azashiro said he "COULD" have died if kuryushiki used banaki in the beginning of their fight. But even then Azashiro could have just merged with the air if he wanted to, OR KURYUSHIKI... Which he DID do. Overall stat wise kuryushiki stomps Azashiro but his hax is ridiculous. I honestly think Azashiro and kuryushiki could go either way.
The novels safwy and cfyow scaling is HORRIBLE, and at the time the translations were crap. So now i do agree that
1. Kenpachi
2. Unohana
3. Kuryushiki
4. Azashiro
With 3 and 4 being the ones that can be switched around
Facts.
💯
where can i read or find the novel about the kenpachis?
yo i stg unohana melted kenpachi down to nothing but bone and braught him back it is well within her means to heal organs
It's crazy that Unohana was the only one who saw true Aizen Shikai not? Then Unohaha was the only and the first Kenpachi who didn't die Until Zaraki's training.
So how is Aizen going to say there are only 2 people he that can stop him, clearly he didn't know Unohana's past or what she can do or how strong she is!
Hey man. All I'm sayin is unohana is the thickest kenpachi
Not wrong to be fair.
I mean she was the only female
Thickest and baddest
There might have been other female kenpachis
@@MrGptheboii this is true. I wonder if there were any?
The fact that unohanna didnt see any other kenpachi worthy of killing her just proves they werent on her level an even stated multiple times she is the strongest outside of yammamoto
💯
Zaraki destroys her…
@@lukadoncic5344 what are you talking about?
@@4getmenot182 in the tybw arc he kills her but it to a lot of tries
@@nashaun3885 Yeah i know unohanna was the second strongest until that point not counting aizen
I LOVE characters like Azashiro Kenpachi, glass canon characters just seem so interesting knowing they could get beaten by weaker characters yet their powers allow them to beat people way out of their league.
Kurotsuchi is another great example. I wonder how a fight between them would play out.
I really want the anime to be a success, so we can have CFYOW and SAFWY animated, wee need more KENPACHI.
I really hope so! It probably will break the internet lol
Imagine seeing kenpachi vs Hikonie
@@frankocean8327 Aura vs Kisuke would be dope. A kido battle
In know what's cfyow is but what's safwy?
@@isaiahkinard3836 Spirits Are Forever With You (the Azashiro Kenpachi's novel).
Couldn't Unohana's kaido make a difference during her battle with Azashiro? You took into account that Unohana killed Kenpachi a countless number of times but not that she was also using energy to revive Kenpachi so many times. This would tire her out. You also pointed out she died from being impaled through the throat as problem with her durability but she healed a wound in her chest she could fit her hand in and that throat stab was at the end of the battle after releasing her bankai. She then revived them both from basically death. If she can heal someone from almost complete disintegration then I dont see how Azashiro could survive long enough to win?
Love your content bro. Love the interactions as well. Bluur is big into Bleach and doing collabs. Tommo is always a good pick too.
Thanks for commenting! I agree with what your saying. I feel like out of everyone on the list both Unohana and Azashiro could go either way during their battle. I actually had a hard time switching the 2 around
This is very possible
Exactly. I was very confused by his statement
She wanted to die that’s why she died it’s that simple I don’t see anyone being actually able to beat her besides Yamamoto (also don’t say Aizen, he is overrated and plenty of people can beat him in bleach)
Azashiro has too much hax. Though that’s my main reason for him winning.
If the nature of being a Kenpachi involves being the strongest and then beating any challengers then there have only been two true Kenpachis.
Exactly
Oh yea
Unohana will always be the true kenpachi in my heart
@@frankocean8327 yes I agree
If i recall, the title of Kenpachi was not given to the strongest soul reapers, but to the one who loves fighting the most
Kuruyashiki seems cool, I hope we get more of him someday in the anime or something
Well yeah given that Yamamoto only taught him how to use a sword with 2 hands and that's it nothing else. Cause they fear he'd be to powerful and wouldn't be able to contain him.
💯
It is specifically stated that Azashiro was greatly damaged after he fused with Kuruyashiki's insides to kill him, IMO there's a good chance he would die if he tried that with Unohana.
I agree! My opinion has recently changed on a few things, but i do think unohana would probably kill him. After all she only found kenpachi zaraki to be stronger than her
@@CaptainHavoc ichigo and aizen exists, she didnt even get involved with azashiro
My favorite is Zaraki Kenpachi. Great vídeo!
Thanks man! Kenpachi is my favorite too
I just wanna say, that Unohana's bankai is not acid in my opinon. Considering of how she is a kido master with healing (learning from Krinji himself), she's using her own blood from ANY injury to convert it using kido. She can make her own blood acidic, to make herself look like as though her skin melts to the one she faces and reflect that image upon themselves. This make sensei with the picture we see in the manga AND Bleach Brave Souls, where we see her hand touching the wound that makes it later on bloody (not acid) and THEN the acid part comes into contact with others
None of these guys would even touch momo
Maybe Kon but i agree
In all seriousness he should make a video on momo' durability and endurance
@@UlquiorraSolos The bitch has survived Penetration twice
@@frankocean8327 🤣💀
Who's momo
Strongest: Zaraki no doubt
Skilled: Unohana thus her actual name
Most haxed: Azashiro soya and kuruyashiki
No. Strongest:Unohana/8th kenpachi cuz it could go either way
Zaraki died and had to be revived way too many times which shows us that theres a huge gap between zaraki and unohana
@@thevenom7599 zaraki became far stronger after that, plus he was suppressing himself during that fight until the end
@@thevenom7599 zaraki become stronger lol
@@thevenom7599 yeah because he had mental blocks which surpassed his power subconsciously
@@thevenom7599 That was the second time they fought...which was explained in the very same fight in the chapters/episodes that you're referring to. The only reason Zaraki is "weak" now is because when he first fought Unohana he won and she even admitted he was much stronger than her which gave her the scar she carried on her throat. Not wanting to ruin his fun he placed his own "scar" on his mind to limit his powers because he didn't want to lose his fun in fighting. This is why Unohana mentions that they both scarred each other in their past fight, hers being a wound and Zaraki's being mental. The second "fight" only happened because central 46 wanted Zaraki to be brought back and his Bankai awakened.
The reveal about Unohana's past and true nature is brilliant by epic proportions, but I think the drawback in this is that since we never did see her have her moment to show just how much of a force of nature she is apart from her last moments with Zaraki and some flashbacks is that people have doubts about the claims and presented facts about her. I think she's second to just Yamamoto.
I agree! I really wish we got to see just how much of a menace unohana was
Imagine if Roka was alive during Azashiro time...😫
She could copy his Bankai and combine with her resurrection to fuse with the whole Multiverse 💀
Facts lol! Multiversal threat!
@@CaptainHavoc I just read their wiki and apparently at the time Azashiro became a captain, Roka and other arrancar went to the living world (250 years ago).
And since he fought Kenpachi in the Novel more recently, maybe Roka can now use it, since she her ability records everything.
Well, if she was able to see the entire TYBW arc... then it's even worst 😱
@@CaptainHavoc could azashiro do that maybe a planet but a universe I’m gonna say no it’s wrongful skepticism on my part but I disagree
I think Unohana is #2 above Azashiro because of her insane healin ability, high intelligence, swordmanship, and huge reiatsu. Her reiatsu could actually nullify Azashiros hax abilities to a degree plus her high intelligence and experience could be used to further outwit him in my humble opinion.
Obviously kingpin Zaraki is #1 over them all. Some people claim Unohana could best him but the reality is, Zaraki was already more powerful then her just as a young boy with no shikai or bankai while she was a full grown, heavily experienced woman. She even admitted herself that Zaraki was her better at that youthful age.
None the less, this was a great video and now I can't wait for the tybw arc to be animated and for the hell arc to be released so I can witness some Zaraki Kenpachi greatness!
Thanks! I agree 100% check my pinned comment. I've said this recently that unohana is definitely below kenpachi even though some people think she could beat him. She admitted to being weaker than a kid kenpachi lol
Golden rule: there can only be one kenpachi
Unohana: what rule? Fvck the golden rule, there's no worthy enough opponent to battle, you kenpachi no. 2 why don't you take my spot, enjoy it as you like, im pretty bored i'll just take my break and wait for eternity to see if there's someone who can satisfy me in battle.
Eternity later...after 10 generations, oh Zaraki you're still weak, i'll revive you over and over again so you can go stronger 100 times...
After reviving 100 times... Fvck this game, im done. Zaraki just go ahead and kill me
I'm pretty sure unohana didn't survive because she knew that kenpachi was at his former state. She did what she needed, but you can't really assume she wouldn't be able to heal that if she did 100 tiems
Kiryoshikis bankai was banned so that’s the only reason he lost to azashiro and considering he was invited to zero division he could be even stronger than zaraki, we should find out more about him that’d be cool
Exactly!
@@CaptainHavoc Great bud dude, I just wish I would have an opportunity to make a secondary story for bleach
About being invited to squad zero, it's a weird one for me because we know that the members of squad zero had all created something or contributed to the development of soul society somehow and we don't know what he created. And we are not made aware of strength being taken into consideration. Yamamoto, Shinsui, Unohana, Zaraki were all super strong but there was never any mention of them being invited
He didn't lose to Azashiro because his bankai was banned, he himself and Azashiro said that they lost due to holding back and with his last breath he said that he broke the rule that every Kenpachi shouldn't break and suffered the consequences.
they were fighting outside of the city, he just made a stupid error
Unohana and Kenpachi is still debatable because she didn't heal herself after getting stabbed in the throat. Physically stronger I agree but because of hax I think Unohana could really win if she wanted.
By her own admission she couldn't. She only beat young Zeraki because he began sealing away more and more of his power. That's why she said it was her sin and why she spent so much effort reviving him over and over until he recovered all that sealed power. Why she went into that fight intent on dying.
Imagine being the greatest martial artist (doesn't have to be martial artist, it could be anything really. Musician, artist, craftsmen, etc) in the world, then finding someone even better, only for them to cripple themselves so you could remain the best.
I actually agree with this to an extent that she let herself be killed because her ONLY job was to get kenpachi to his original level. It's late here so i maybe can go over it in detail tomorrow. Or you can join discord
Not really. Unohana herself admitted zaraki, as a kid without Shikai or bankai, was stronger than her. It’s all crystal clear in the manga. There are no debates there, let alone a grown up zaraki with shikai and bankai.
She killed him and revived him several times she could've killed him definitively if she wanted to

@@CaptainHavoc on the real who you had winning with aizen vs unohana In first meeting
I got unohana with the upset before aizen goes into his beyond soul reaper god powers
Unohana SHOULD HAVE SURVIVED. Imagine how much she would have helped
I agree
Exactly
I mean if she ended up weaker than sealed Kenpachi, then she just gets outscaled by a decent amount on the Gotei's side
Kenpachi, Byakuya, Toshiro, Kyoraku, Yoruichi, her brother, Urahara, Mayuri, Full Power Nemu, the 0 Squad etc. Basically anyone that can fight Quincy Elites. It's unfortunate but she got power crept extremely quickly
@@jocoolshow Unohana never got power crept.
She is definitely above Byakuya, Yoruichi's brother, Urahara and Mayuri in power and skill.
Just being one of the greatest medics is enough for Unohana to be there, but she believed herself to be a sinner for crippling Kenpachi and so her desire was to die.
She never cared about fighting after Kenpachi.
@@khulmach9662 TYBW Bankai Byakuya is comparable to or above TYBW Bankai Kenpachi. Unohana was weaker than Base Sealed Zan Kenpachi. (She said he regained the strength he had as a kid). Then Kenpachi potentially got a soul zenkai after his fight with Gremmy and the Quincy girls jumping him. So the Kenpachi that fought Gerard base to base > the Kenpachi that fought Unohana, and he used Shikai and Bankai in that fight
Mayuri fought Perninda who had literally adapted to this stronger Kenpachi's base level (though with the eyepatch on). Then Perninda had Vollstandig and such which would be a bigger boost than the Eyepatch and Mayuri held his own. Compare this to Unohana who's weaker than Base Kenpachi (Eyepatch off)
Yoruichi's brother fought Askin in base, and Urahara fought Askin in Vollstandig. Askin in his base form was comparable to Yoruichi herself, and CFYOW states that Yoruichi and Base Byakuya are on the same level of power. The same Byakuya that's comparable or stronger than TYBW Kenpachi
Skill wise is debatable. Byakuya mastered all of the basic 4 Shinigami arts, though if we say Unohana has better Zanjutsu and Kido, I'll give you that. Urahara mastered all of the 4 Shinigami arts too, but yo a higher degree than Byakuya based on what we've seen from his backstory and all his fights. I'd give Unohana the edge over everyone besides Yama in terms of swordsmanship and everyone besides Kirinji in terms of healing Kido, but I got Urahara over her in terms of normal Kido and the other areas
Unohana isn't weak and I ain't downplaying her, it's just the story gave her a hard cap by stating she's weaker than Kid Kenpachi/Base TYBW Kenpachi
You should collab with bleach hub
I actually been thinking about this. He is the bleach youtuber that is close to my subscriber count unlike clyde
@@CaptainHavoc As long as bleach hub doesn't be a hater, i think you two would make good content together
Yea clyde kinda a hater. Bleach hub might be cool
Azashiro is #0, his power is limitless and that's why he's 8 as 8 rotated 90 degrees is ∞. The only problem with him is he doesn't realize his full potential, nor is he trained to overcome his weaknesses. He could technically fuse with each zanpakuto, giving him the power of possession, could easily make the zanpakutos attack their own masters. He could also nullify absorption powers (one of his weaknesses) by possession or redirection(uryu absorption of reiatsu can be redirected).
I actually think once he trains more he could really be one of the strongest characters in the vers

Amazing quality! Surprised you don't have 100x the subs

OOooo new video!!
🙃
I love how after 10 generations of every Shinigami who succeed in the title kenpachi, Kenpachi Zaraki, the 11th holder of the 11 Division, feel like too much of a coincidence, is the only one who truly inherited it. Like the rest were there to keep the title warm.
Facts 💯
@@CaptainHavoc you say facts and yet unohana is not the 2nd strongest lol
I think the concept of the Kenpachi is brilliant. That way the Gotei 13 made sure they would always have a secret weapon that is the benchmark of the current generation of Shinigami. Like in Star wars with the rule of two. The next kills the previous one and that can only happen if the successor is stronger. That's why Unohana was always weaker than Zaraki. That was 10 generations of power being built up when Zaraki defeated Kiganjo.
Love this explanation
I think cuz unohana's bankai isn't properly explained and that's why she landed in the third place even though I think her bankai would be able to counter Azashiro's bankai. When we see her use minazuki in the manga, it is theorize that the blood like substance is acidic and it immediately melts off flesh until there is nothing but bones left and it can also instantly heal and reformed and damaged organ or body and that was probably how she kept killing Zaraki with her bankai. So if that is true and it most likely is since there's no other explanation for her bankai, I think she can survive getting her organs and insides destroyed because when she uses her bankai she's literally nothing but bones.
The reason why she wasn't able to heal the stab through her throat from Zaraki however definitely was not because she was unable to but it was because she didn't want to live. If anyone paid attention to the manga, you guys should already know that she plans to die in the fight with Zaraki just so that she can truly pass on the title of the kenpachi to Zaraki and also have him unlock his full potential. It's 100% that she could've healed her wound if she wanted to just like how she kept bringing Zaraki back to life but she chose to die and sacrifice herself instead just so that Zaraki can be the one true kenpachi
I truly hope that in this hell arc every kenpachi who died that we haven't seen in their full abilities will return to see who the strongest rlly is even tho it's kenpachi I want to see what the man who was called from squad 0 can do
Same! I honestly think we will see them in the hell arc
@@CaptainHavoc it’d be epic to see the original gotei 13 and why they were claimed to be the strongest gotei
When's the hell arc coming
Awesome video! I wish I addressed more about how he loss to Ichigo.. lots of ppl don't know or understand that..
Facts
Respect for kuroyashiki , man he was done dirty
I wonder how strong he is compared to other captains
@@CaptainHavoc Hard to say, but we know he was impressive enough to be given an offer to join the zero squad. And his bankai is even forbidden to be used in the seireitei. You could take that as a flex to how destructive his bankai may be. Do I dare say he’s probably around Shunsui’s level or below? At the very least, he could be close to a senior captain’s level.
@@chillguy7687 He's definitely Shunsui level. He killed a Vasto Lorde before Aizen powered them up through Hogyoku. I would argue he could be above them. As Shunsui said it's all about compatibility.
Obviously it's Kenny and he's my favourite character but *MAN* I love Unohana and her story. You go through most of it with her as a dedicated medic with a heart of gold, one of the sweetest and most beautiful characters in the story. Then Shunsui unchains the beast and the art style change with her facials.. my God and the voice acting change when she could be her true self again was unreal.
It sucks we don't see her truly get to cut loose against the Quincies but all the love for the crazy lady none the less
Azashiro is my favorite Kenpachi. He’s so cool and not what you expect from the line of Kenpachis
💯 I like him alot!
Kenpachi title without a monstrous aura and madness is useless.
Zaraki wasn't nerfed he just loves fighting to the brink of death hence why he matches his rieatsu with his enemy like his fight with Ichigo as said by aizen when he was speaking with azishiro
Need a havoc and clyde collab
That would be nice. Let everyone know this lol
Ah yes, Kenpachi Zaraki, my childhood crush. 😂❤️
😂💯
For the first guy you talk about by that point kenpachi zaraki was already only using i think 5% of his power bc of the fight against unohana when he was younger
Yea he fought a kenpachi who already restrained himself to be on the level of unohana. Plus he didn't have his eye patch yet so that kenpachi is very strong
I’m surprised he had unohana so low 🤔 but it’s his list, I’ll respect it
I actually recently changed my mind. This video is about 10 months old but recently it's getting alot of attention. I have unohana over Azashiro now
Thank you man I think this is the accurate ranking 👍🏻
Thank you! 😊
I'm SO fucking excited for the next episode.
Same!! 😭
You collab with a another bleach enthusiast it should probably be DBZ Imran!! You are both very informative and very insightful also both having a lot of knowledge and articulacy!
Thanks for your opinion! That's my plan eventually is the collab with DBZimran. Im a huge fan of his
I still want to see Byakuya vs Kenpachi, it would be a crazy fight.
not really zaraki would wipe the floor with him
🤣Byakuya go get bodied, he go be telling people he got jumped by squad 11
I'm a little confused about your statement from 13:00. Unohana was able to injure and destroy Kenpachi's vitals organs hundreds of times and revive him each time and so her not being able to heal her throat should be attributed to other factors and not that she is unable to do so. Because it makes no sense that she can heal those injuries on Zaraki but can't do so to herself. The logic in that is nonexistent. Especially when we saw her heal herself after a hole the size of her hand was created in her chest. I'm just lost and confused by that
So i agree with what you said. I think the real issue here is the fact that Azashiro was about to destroy kuryushiki's insides, but when he tried to do it to kenpachi, it was stated that his organs are as hard as steel. It's weird cause is this a spiritual pressure thing or just a kenpachi thing? If it is a spiritual pressure thing, than kuryushiki SHOULD NOT have died from Azashiro destroying his insides. The guy was literally known to have crazy amounts of spiritual pressure. But my opinion and how i interpret safwy has changed recently. Let's say this was a spiritual pressure thing, i would put Azashiro below unohana because she was destroying a much stronger kenpachi hundreds of times. Kuryushiki dying from that move even though he had crazy amounts of spiritual pressure, but kenpachi not dying because his organs are as hard as steel is just a weird situation. To answer your other question, yea we see unohana healing like crazy and bringing kenpachi back to life but she in fact did die from a sword to her throat.
@@CaptainHavoc Oh Yeah I am aware that she did die from that. It just baffles me with how it ended. Because she learnt healing techniques to prolong her fights. Do you think she let herself die then? Or that she was exhausted or something? Because it is a weird way for her specifically to die. She wasn't killed immediately and so she had enough time to heal herself if she wanted to. Or is that a stretch?
About Zaraki and Kuryushiki, honestly, it still doesn't make sense to me. Yes we know Zaraki has huge amounts of spiritual pressure. But so did Kuryushiki. Could be that Kuryushiki had less than Zaraki did at the time. But then that will be disappointing given that the Zaraki at the time was "nerfed".
I agree! This is actually a topic me and the guys on discord talked about recently. It's almost obvious that unohana DEFINITELY let herself die because her only job was to get kenpachi back to his former strength. And there can only be 1 kenpachi. I thought about making a video on this.
It could be possible that kuryushiki had less spiritual pressure than kenpachi at that time but like you said it would be disappointing since it was a nerfed kenpachi. Plus kuryushiki was hyped up. Honestly the problem is the novels lol. Kenpachi even survived hundreds of hado #96 and didn't die. Safwy have some sketchy things about it that don't add up. Especially cfyow.
That is bleach in its entirety pretty much. Cool but if the original content couldn’t be explained by the author, you can’t expect others to make sense of it. Doesn’t mean it’s not fun to hear people try though!
Honestly, if Azashiro actually trained and got better at using his Bankai he could quite possibly be on the top 5 strongest characters
Possible even higher, People don't understand how limitless Azashiro's potential is.
He is the only Kenpachi who didn't get the chance to train, and still was strong.
In chapter 104 of bleach it was stated that the Title Kenpachi was given to the person who killed the most people.
I always got the impression that it meant the person with the title Kenpachi loves to fight and kill.
When did it get changed to being the strongest?
So sorry for late reply! It's stated by kenpachi himself after he loses his fight with ichigo. Chapter 114 😊
I think it's everything you mentioned plus what i mentioned. The title of kenpachi seems to have more than 1 meaning. 1 the title is given to the shinigami who loves to fight the most, and who has killed the most people. Stated by hinataro. Chapter 104. Then kenpachi says himself that the title is usually given to the strongest shinigami. Chapter 114
DBZImran . You guys should do it . Love your channel . Giving you a sub
Thanks man!
I love Kuruyashiki and even tho we dont have much info on him except he was killed by Azashiro i still do think with his bankai that he is the 2nd strongest Kenpachi
Yeah I've actually been going back and forth and i think Azashiro possibly be the 2nd strongest 😅
@@CaptainHavoc Idk i still think Kuruyashiki is possibly 2nd juust cause oof him stating the bankai is more powerfull and if he used it Azashiro would have possibly lost
@@starferno9194 You actually right lol
why was the old man not the first kenpachi or the strongest kenpachi ever?
Maybe Collab with MrTommo, his bleach content is awesome
I've thought about him too
@@CaptainHavoc glad to see your content coming back
I will be back alot more
Mrtommo is a good guy
Imagine putting Kuruyashiki below Azashiro.
Azashiro literally said that Kuruyashiki would have beaten him had he used his Bankai.
Imo the order:
1. Zaraki
2. Unohana / Kuruyashiki
3. Kuruyashiki / Unohana
4. Azashiro
Negative. Azashiro said he "COULD" have died if kuryushiki used banaki in the beginning of their fight. But even then Azashiro could have just merged with the air if he wanted to, OR KURYUSHIKI...
But despite of what you said. I do agree with your ranking. This video was made over 10 months ago and is recently now getting thousands of views i didn't expect.
I think the real issue here is the fact that Azashiro was about to destroy kuryushiki's insides, but when he tried to do it to kenpachi, it was stated that his organs are as hard as steel. It's weird cause is this a spiritual pressure thing or just a kenpachi thing? If it is a spiritual pressure thing, than kuryushiki SHOULD NOT have died from Azashiro destroying his insides. The guy was literally known to have crazy amounts of spiritual pressure. But my opinion and how i interpret safwy has changed recently. Let's say this was a spiritual pressure thing, i would put Azashiro below unohana because she was destroying a much stronger kenpachi hundreds of times. Kuryushiki dying from that move even though he had crazy amounts of spiritual pressure, but kenpachi not dying because his organs are as hard as steel is just a weird situation. The novels safwy and cfyow scaling is horrible. And at the time the translations were crap. So now i do agree that
1. Kenpachi
2. Unohana
3. Kuryushiki
4. Azashiro
@@CaptainHavockuru above unohana strictly for ap, he would win

If sword skill all kenpanchi are just child in unahana just to troll them in fight
Soya Azashiro actually looks like the Soul King....maybe he just became so O.P he became king
Not only the eye patch nerf, but also one handed sword style.
My ranking would be:
Azashiro: limitless potential and hax (also underrated)
Kurayashiki: broken but has a risky bankai
Zaraki: basically has hax uped zenkai boost
Unohana: has the most stable zanpakuto and could have beaten Kenpachi at muken if she wanted to, although Zaraki without mental restraints is stronger by a clear margin.
P.S
People don't really understand the nature of fights in bleach,
Bleach isn't like the other animes where the strongest would always win
If that was the case, shikai Ichigo after the match with Zaraki would have won against Byakuya.
I don't know how to explain this thing but it's just like how Shunsui stated in SAFWY "One would beat a Vasto Lorde but can still lose to a Gillian"
The fights in Bleach are supposedly Contradictive so don't suppose that the strongest one will always win.
Bleach isn't the franchise where the stronger one will always win.
My mind is always changing and i 100% agree with you. Azashiro is a complete monster and only lost to kenpachi because of Kenpachi and because he was weakened. Kuryushiki a monster also. I like your ranking
@@CaptainHavoc Thanks, I noticed how you are so respective of others opinions while also having your own, I appreciate it.
And btw what are your favorite characters?
Mine are Azashiro, Aizen, Don Kanonji.
Sorry about the late reply and of course! Goated favorite characters man! My favorite character is Mayuri. He became my favorite during tybw. Azashiro is also one of m6 favorites along with kenpachi and Jugram maybe

Imagine Kenpachi continued his training with Yamamoto but replacing Unohana and being the first Kenpachi with the first Gotei. 👀
if you haven't already, invest in a de-esser plugin, you have very harsh sibilance build ups around 7-9khz (totally common but it hurts the ears)
The strongest is clearly the only Kenpachi that was never killed like he was supposed to be for someone to claim that title.

Unahana for second place. When he can desintegrate Zaraki and revive him over and over. I think unahana can counter the inner destruction the bankai can cause.
The wound on her throat is something she is ashamed of. She underestimated young Zaraki and yes it was some critical hit but nothing she cannot heal instantly.
The amout of reiatsu she must have possed to regenerate some over and over again from bones must be outlandish.
By the way, in the final fight she is unlocking zaraki full potential rather than kill him. Would she went for kill she could have done it, i think. Zaraki always has stated that she is the one to fear. He is brute strenght but she is death
Golden rule: there can only be one kenpachi
Unohana: what rule? Fvck the golden rule, there's no worthy enough opponent to battle, you kenpachi no. 2 why don't you take my spot, enjoy it as you like, im pretty bored i'll just take my break and wait for eternity to see if there's someone who can satisfy me in battle.
Eternity later...after 10 generations, oh Zaraki you're still weak, i'll revive you over and over again so you can go stronger 100 times...
After reviving 100 times... Fvck this game, im done. Zaraki just go ahead and kill me
There is one thing you are not considering here. Not once when she "bested him" in their fight was he at his full strength. He was stronger than her as a child and suppressed himself and didn't fight to his fullest when he noticed he was going to win. That was when he was a kid. when he unleashed power that was above Unohana she could no longer beat him. That was the goal she was tempering him and fixing him, correcting what she thought was her sin for making him suppress himself due to her weakness.
He was always stronger than her. He just suppressed himself, plenty of people could have killed Zaraki at any given point if they just did it fast enough before he could remove his limiters or if he underestimated them, he never gave anyone that opportunity though. He limited himself to what his opponent could do.
He needed more power than what removing his limiters gave him to beat unohana, he needed to fix his broken mindset too, which is what the fight was about.
she has no chance against Azashiro, even Zaraki can be killed by him
@@GLUFSAREN never gave anyone opportunity? Royd Lloyd literally kicked his ass with neg diff, where were these limiters? 🤣🤣🤣
yami is the second strongest espada next to ulquirra boy
13:15 "I don't think she'd survive if Azashiro destroyed every one of her major organs."
Mayuri: "Since when do organs matter?"
Lol 😆 Facts!
lmao destroy it then she can heal em back as fast it destroyed
if it is a plain field 1 v 1, no doubt zaraki, his full power is still unknown, well with a little bit of his bankai he can rip soul kings heart arm easily, but in a different situation may be azashiro,
The thing is, some of the other kenpachi were written by other authors. It’s destined for Zaraki to be the strongest. All the others were added later after Unohana and Zaraki.
I know they claim Yami is the strongest Espada but we all know Ulquiorra was really the strongest. I would even argue that if Kenpachi ran up on Ulquiorra in his Segunda Etapa form it’s possible he would’ve lost. Another thing is I think Unohana could possibly still be the strongest is because of the name Yachiru which means 8 thousand styles in which if it was a serious battle before Azashiro could use his immune technique I think he would die. Just my opinion
Cool video, need to work on audio the s pronunciation peaks out
Thank you and i will do better next time!
retsu's fight with kenny is similar to itachi vs sasuke cause she only died due to him cause 1.) she needed someone to take over as the next kenpachi, 2.) she needed kenny to unlock his shikai and bankai.... if anyhting retsu is the strongest kenpachi already stated.
Do you read manga? She's clearly stated that zaraki always in the restricted state subconsciously because he likes to enjoy fighting. Unohana herself said that kid zaraki would have killed her if zaraki doesn't held back his power subconsciously. That's why she's trying to awaken zaraki. Get over it kid
@@MadiKenpachi92 🤦🏾♂️ buddy shunsui said once toshiro bankai matured he’d be stronger then him…
In they Tybw toshiro Bankai matured….so does that mean toshiro>> then shunsui? 🤦🏾♂️ it doesn’t and as for retsu she never once added her bankai into the factor and we all know a Shikai and bankai is 10X multiplier meaning she’d still have a 20X multiplier gap over kenpachi.
And during the fight restu was getting weaker and weaker while Kenny was getting stronger and stronger… ofc she’d eventually die cause she’s running out of energy and stamina while she give Kenny more energy and stamina every time she kills him… and she killed him with ease.. and the kenpachi was trying to help release was Shikai Kenny. Cause remember what she said and they people Kenny has a chance to fight… yhwach was on that scan so if you think base Kenny or kid Kenny has a chance to even damage SK yhwach then you are smoking.
What I’m saying is y’all don’t know what retsu was actually talking bout cause again when retsu died she told Kenny he had other people to fight and AGAIN YHWACH was on the list and base Kenny or Shikai and bankai Kenny ain’t beating yhwach… retsu was talking bout Kenny potential YA the same potential that got Kenny of the war threat list that yhwach made that’s the Kenny that retsu is talking bout that’s the Kenny retsu was hinting at when she said he’s stronger 🤦🏾♂️.. next time y’all should actually read between the damn lines and try to figure out what the characters are actually saying 🤦🏾♂️ you should know bleach characters just don’t say shit straightforwardly. Now I hope you understand what I tryin to was say.
btw can someone gimme the background music name?
Soya Azashiro is by far one of the most powerful and dangerous characters in the history of soul society. If you know his powers. He could merge and control with practically anything.. and destory you from the inside out.. and thats without him using bankai.
he's always on bankai mode.
@@Monde_Branda which makes him even more dangerous you'll never see him coming
"Unohana couldn't take an attack to the throat" I was the one that did that attack fr
😭
There is no words in Earth that can describe how bloody down catastrophic bad you're
Zeraki and Unohana's relationship meant alot eventhough they barely every spoke to my memory
Didnt unohana have to die so that kenpachi stopped holding back his strength at all tho? Maybe she didnt wanna heal herself cause dying was her goal.
We need an kenpachi arc … with all kenpachi
Ain't no way Azashiro stronger than Unohana
I think the fault in saying weakest and strongest lies in our definition of it. Azashiro wasn't the strongest Kenpachi. He just had a very hax ability and was constantly using his Bankai. If every Kenpachi came into the fight with their Bankai he's probably not even top 3. Regardless I agree with you. Unohana would use any and every dirty trick in the book to kill him. Best case scenario for Azashiro is the both die.
You said it perfectly. Its very debatable who would win
@@KofiWilliams facts
The thing about the kempachis is that it seems like most of their powers aren’t that much of a difference so it’s hard to rate
excluding zaraki
Making kenpachi cry is a crazy feat 😭🙏
I really wished they would do a spin off on kuruyashiki
I honestly would not mind if they retconned Kiganjo to have put up more of a fight against Zaraki. If the novels ARE canon, then this is the guy who KILLED the dude who KILLED AZASHIRO. Yet he just dies to Kenpachi in one hit. I really hope he appears in the Hell arc.
Side Note: Kiganjo is the only Kenpachi apart from Unohana and Zaraki whose canonicity is non-negotiable. He's appeared in manga pages while Kuruyashiki and Azashiro appeared in novels. So yeah, I really hope he does something in the hell arc
Azashiro never died tho. He got banished to the muken (underground prison that aizen got sent to). The kenpachi that replaced him was probably some unproven shinigami since he got the kenpachi title for free.
i wish we could say kganjos bankai and see how op it was if it was "banned"
Noitra didnt say he was the strongest espada, he said he had the strongest skin. Also Gremmy was the strongest Sternritter not Espada. The espada were hollows and sternritter were quincy
Ichinose Maki was really one of the only good things about the Bount arc. And even then, it was his Zanpakuto I liked, not really the man himself. Same for some of those dolls the Bounts used; found them more entertaining than the ones using 'em.
If Nimaiya created the zanpakutos.
Does it means that He is actually OLDER than 99% of all the shinigamis?
Yes
4:06 Ohh the guy seems pretty reasonable and cool
"He summons bear sized balls with no eyes, just teeth"
JESUS no wonder he was a Kenpachi he is scary as fuck
Obviously Zaraki but dope vid bro 🤙
Thanks!
think kiganjo should have been second behind kenpachi because azashiro stated that he would have lost if kiganjo was serious from the beginning and used bankai.
ulquiorra respect him....most bad ass espda and one of the most intelligent..zaraki is number 1 i agree kenpachi but number 2 will always be unahona... respect to all kenpachi captains...what makes zaraki dangouros is his spiritual preasure it flactuates depending his openent at that time there fighting kinda like ichigo... its hard to measure riatsu which has no proper limit to it..
Like it or not Retsu is the strongest. She wasn’t trying to kill kenpachi when they fought but make him stronger and carry on the true Kenpachi name. That was the first fight Kenpachi genuinely seemed out of options. Or did you forget that she literally killed Kenpachi multiple times but was healing him constantly lol
We actually had this discussion on discord recently. That unohana's only job was to get kenpachi back to his former strength. Then after she did, she let herself be killed
@@CaptainHavoc if you read into the official notes and novels by Kubo he stated that a Kenpachi can’t exist without the former dying. So from a technical perspective there has only ever been two Kenpachis, Retsu and Zaraki, because no one ever killed Retsu and took her title
Retsu killed weaker version of zaraki. zaraki real strength is at the final fight against retsu.
She isn't. At all. She fought base kenpaxhi and was surpassed by him when he removed his limiter.
She straight up admit inferiority to base Kenny who removed his limiter, yet apparently she beats bankai fucking kenpachi? Did you not read the series, you moronic bitch? You human trash?
SHE. KILLED. SEALED. KENPACHI.
@@paulduffy5288 first of all you obviously don’t read the data books and secondly you calling people “bitches” and trash” just makes you look like an ignorant monkey, than again you’re probably American so that might explain it

You mean the ice dragon and Phoenix ones didn't give ya a good idea lol
we still waiting on that kenpachi video fam
I can't with the 13 big white balls

Ok
But Azachiro doesn't even know his shikai or bankai calling phrase
I guess he becomes stronger after SAFWY
mayuri kurotsuchi found a way around organs
Facts! The goat himself
Zaraki is so powerful that he has to NERF himself in order to enjoy the fight....
Bad list imo. Azashiro literally said he'd get stomped by kuruyashiki if he used his bankai. No captain other than zaraki in tybw was as strong as unohana. The idea that shunsui is stronger than unohana is ridiculous. The correct order is
1.Zaraki
2. Unohana
3. Kuruyashiki
4. Azashiro
Negative. Azashiro said he "COULD" have died if kuryushiki used banaki in the beginning of their fight. But even then Azashiro could have just merged with the air if he wanted to, OR KURYUSHIKI..The idea of Shunsui being above unohana isn't ridiculous. You thinking it's ridiculous because she said no one is stronger than her but kenpachi? I can list a load of reasons why Shunsui vs unohana is debatable.

I feel the whole unohana thing was just so random out of nowhere it just bothers me we never got to see her fighting with her real powers against aizen and the likes wasted potential imo and then she just dies to kenpachi even though she couldve been a great help in the upcoming battles
I 💯% agree! She was wasted after helping kenpachi get to his former strength
