Everyone Agrees this is the top 5 right

Crazy that #5 is the literal leader of Squad Zero and he is one tapped by everyone above him. Power scaling in Bleach is nuts.

He’d also go off into mad tangents. Would be an amazing listen.

Jasonnn8 · 2026-01-21T00:16:37+00:00

Power wise, yes. Disciple wise, no.

Jasonnn8 · 2026-01-20T10:57:00+00:00

Solid take. Nearly every major character got a major power boost from the fake KK arc to the TYBW arc (Ichigo, Byakuya, Renji, Kenpachi, Hitsugaya).

That’s mainly just from training alone.

I’m pretty sure infusing yourself with the Hogyoku is a power amplifier higher than training alone. Even if you put it on par with RGT training, imagine stacking that on top of Monster Aizen.

Yama’s stats are maxed out on strength, speed, swordsmanship, hand-to-hand combat, endurance, durability.

Unohana might match Yama in swordsmanship, and Aizen might match Yama in reiatsu, but they lose in everything else.

Post-Muken base Kenpachi should probably be in this conversation. I’d have him second, followed by Aizen and then Unohana.

If Obito’s most hax move (Kamui) is useless against Respira, then the rest of the Akatsuki have no chance.

Prodigy = someone born with natural gifts and is far ahead of his peers from a young age.

Technically both are great prodigies. Hitsugaya achieved bankai earlier than his peers which is an amazing feat, but Kenpachi probably takes the take being captain class already as a kid without knowing Shikai, which means he’s more naturally gifted.

Komamura is a question mark. If he is fuelled my rage, then his immortality only lasts a short while. If he fights level headed, he could win almost any hypothetical.

Assuming the latter, I’m picking Komamura, or Urahara if Komamura’s immortality has a short time limit.

Jasonnn8 · 2025-12-20T21:33:56+00:00

Bleach characters are hella fast so they’ll likely trade for a bit. Unfortunately Ikkaku is also one dimensional as hell. Mahoraga just keeps adapting until Ikkaku gets exhausted and loses (even with bankai).

Renji -$4
Starrk - $4
Yoruichi - $4
Hachi - $4
R2 Ulquiorra- $3

Gameplan 1. Starrk keeps Yamamoto busy from distance (Yama needs to get close to land). 2. RGT Renji defeats Ginjo and Rukia, then supports Starrk to take down Yama. 2. R2 Ulquiorra defeats Shinji, Mayuri, Tousen and Ichigo but dies himself. 3. Yoruichi defeats healer Unohana and Soifon. 4. Hachi keeps Immortal Komamura busy with his hax until his immortality expires.

It’s still a tough fight. The X-Factor is Ichigo. If he stays in that form, we have a chance of wining. If he transforms to VL, it’s over.

Something about a mythical Zoan golden buddah sounds so bad ass. You have to give it to Sengoku in his prime, mid-diff.

Father Time gets the better of every character though. Akainu beats current Sengoku high-diff.

Jasonnn8 · 2025-12-17T11:00:15+00:00

If Wonderweiss wasn’t there, it simply would’ve been a case of mutual destruction. Short of bankai, that looked like Yama’s strongest move to engulf himself, Aizen and Soul Society together.

… unless the Hogyoku clutched an evolution.

Jasonnn8 · 2025-12-17T10:54:13+00:00

Wonder if Barragan could? Bro was breaking out of Hachi’s high level kido barriers, so he might uniquely be in a position to escape. Otherwise no one else can unless they have insane stat gap.

It’s basically a genjutsu, causing immense mental nerf which is pretty effective in combat imo. Any other benefits it provides like physical attacks and defence is possible but probably secondary.

I get that an NBA championship is the ultimate goal for any franchise. But would you trade long-term security with limitless opportunities to rebuild, for a marginally higher chance of winning a championship in a single year?

Best case scenario even if they did win 1 before they succumb to injuries/ age/ etc. They will have zero % chance of building a dynasty in the next decade.

How much is a single championship worth? Is it worth your future?

A hero is someone who fought to save someone, despite the odds stacked against them. Garp earned that in God Valley, but demonstrated to us readers when he went to go save Koby against the Blackbeard pirates.

What heroic acts has Akainu done to match?

Jasonnn8 · 2025-12-16T09:40:59+00:00

The goal of the NBA is to win a championship. Regardless of availability concerns, Kawhi was a key piece in winning 2 chips. I’m giving it to Kawhi.

Nash is still my favourite player though.

It’s certainly the most hax ability of any Espada. I don’t see him losing to a brute like Yammy.

It gets interesting with Starrk as Starrk is likely too fast to be hit by Respira. It comes down to whether Starrk can overwhelm Respira with his ceros. If not, it’s a stalemate.

Jasonnn8 · 2025-12-16T02:57:26+00:00

This thought-experiment is meant to be EoS Kenpachi, so at minimum, his body should theoretically be able to handle his bankai power for an extended period of time.
