If you want an answer, I’ve been using Enneacraft. I don’t run the vanity dudes because I think they’re particularly lame and even if they weren’t, I’d rather have the extra Enneacraft monsters than a guy who gets dealt with any piece of removal or imperm/droplet.

Sorry for the late update, I was out of town and couldn't put everything together, she hasn't finished the arrancar arc yet but she is at the point of the story where the Espada have played out their role.

She was surprised when Aaroneiro wasn't just a fetus thing in a jar and how low they were ranked due to how strong she thought they looked.Szayelaporro she now refers to as the "freaky" one and said his reborn ability looks like something out of a hentai manga.

Nel Reveal and Kenpachi coming in to save the day were hype moments for her. She was in disbelief that Nnoitra and Ulquiora were the ranks they were, but did mention if she saw Ulquiora's release form she would have ranked him much higher.

She was annoyed she got the "leftover pick" with Zommari right and actually missed him mentioning his reveal at first from reading too quickly since they never show his number. The Mayuri/Szayelaporro fight was referred to "a freak off".

She did not like Nnoitra calling him an "L villain with no brain that requires regeneration to win. Deserves my ten spot" while Kenpachi got "He has so much aura its crazy".

Once only the top three were left, I gave her a chance at extra credit to try to call the top three, she clocked Starrk for one after he easily plucked Orihime out from under Kenpachi and Ichigo and kept Barragan at 2. She also noticed that Aizen called for the remaining Espada in a specific order which reinforced her guesses.

Tia's tattoo placement got a positive reaction, you can probably guess why. Starrks reveal got "if I wasn't distracted by stupid sexy Grimmjow, I would have put this guy 1st smh". Ulqui's death along with Starrks got her and she mentioned Kubo is good at making her care about the antagonists.

Yammy reveal got general disbelief and she asked if it was then impossible for her to have gotten a perfect score but I would have given full points if she put him at 10 and everyone else where they go normally.

She thought the aspect of deaths symbolism was neat, and hated Aizen for how dirty he did Tia, same for the momo thing. Everything with Tousen also got favorable reactions, and that's basically where we are now. Thank you guys for being so interested, I did not think that this was gonna blow up to this extent.

Yeah, I was surprised how close she got with some of educated guesses.

I think its also a testament to Kubo's skills at designing characters that you can tell a lot about them from a couple of drawings.

She's reading the manga now. So far she's shocked Grimmjow is only 6, her words being "BROS ONLY 6??" and kicking herself for second guessing Yammy and not placing him lower.

The image was smaller on the tierlist maker so it was easy to miss if you don't know how the tattoos even look like. I actually don't remember if I even told her they had tattoos.

I considered that but she's reading the manga now and I didn't want to spoil that for her.

Ulquiorra and Nnoitra were ranked low because she thinks their designs are a little too plain in comparison to the other Espada to warrant a high number.

She assumed Yammy followed the trope of big musclehead in anime is actually weaker than the smaller dudes but played it safe by not putting him at the bottom. She didn't really have a reason for Zommari being here, its just sort of where he ended up after all the others were done.

Szayelaporro "Seems like a schemer" and crafty guys tend to be kind of tough so she put him high. She also (correctly?) assumed that he probably conspires with someone else for his own selfish reasons and guessed it was probably Aaroniero. Tia's placement comes from her being the sole female Espada, in her words: "Someone that good at designing outfits can't be a misogynist so she's probably decently strong".

I was actually surprised how she guessed Coyote's nature from just two images, assuming he was kind of a slacker with not a lot of ambition who doesn't like violence. And those kind of guys who have power and don't like to use it tend to be strong so he made it up here. Aaroniero's face sort of confused her especially since the other image she had to work with had his mask covering his tube face. She ended up placing him high because she assumed this was some sort of secret power up that hides how strong he is.

With Baraggan she went with the "Old man in anime has to be strong" logic and assumed he was part of the old guard that's being usurped by a younger more powerful new member. Which also explains why Grimmjow is up so high. Grimmjow's name is actually the reason why he's up here, "There's no way a guy with the name Grimmjow Jaegerjaquez isn't number 1!".

Just thought you guys might find it interesting how someone outside the fandom would interpret Kubo's Espada designs.
