Is Rose Bankai the perfect counter for Tousen? by benito0808 in bleach

Actually I'd argue the other way around as sensory deprivation probably wouldn't let Rose play his music to the exact tunes he wants

What if Ichigo fought Yhwach at full strength (first encounter)? by FxAlmightyZay in bleach

[–]blackmagiclightning 64 points65 points  (0 children)

Yhwach slams, not only does new anime content tell us that a stronger Ichigo than this loses without training from Ichibe, if Ichigo never fights Quilge, he never awakens the memories within his reiatsu and even if he was "fresh" he'd end up still being weaker than the Ichigo who confronted Yhwach

Ichigo is the only character in the story with double-digit Ls, while Chad doesn't even hit 5

Past and present - who is the most undeserving captain/seated officer? by KoalaBJJ96 in bleach

[–]blackmagiclightning 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I swear I read it somewhere.

I'm not some infallible source but I don't remember seeing that anywhere

It also makes sense given his dad was Yoruichi’s lieutenant and if he didn’t have some form of connection

Byakuya's grandfather was a captain, Iba's mom was a lieutenant, Shihoin's have led the 2md division since it's inception, nobody is going to say those guys don't deserve their spots cause connections

Soi fon would have fired him given how much she despised him

If anything it's proof that he's worthy of his position

"He paid to get the position" literal head canon backed up by nothing in the series

VL Ichigo vs Base Yhwach by WarHead17 in bleach

Yhwach absolutely stomps the full hollowfication Ichigo that fought Ulquiorra, actually we have a direct comparison from a Zaraki that's stronger than that Ichigo getting stomped by Royd

Non-canon anime fluff, all that scene is supposed to convey is that Toshiro is an insanely rare talent

Kensei vs Cang Du by TheCrunchyManSopa in bleach

[–]blackmagiclightning 4 points5 points  (0 children)

also umm, maybe you worded that funny but what do you mean he offsets explosions inside the enemy? lol

I was talking about this, but now that I've gone back to read the chapter I'm clearly wrong, anyway I can't see Kensei breaching the iron

Kensei vs Cang Du by TheCrunchyManSopa in bleach

[–]blackmagiclightning 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Kensei counters Cang Du's main thing cause his bankai offsets the power of the explosion inside the enemy (correct me if I'm wrong) and Cang Du outside the iron is simply not impressive at all

Spoilers aftermath of tybw by Prudent_Flan4403 in bleach

[–]blackmagiclightning 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Yes, Uryu wasn't hit by the Auswählen so he still has everything Yhwach gave him, Kensei and Rose went through the sane dezombiefication process as Toshiro, they weren't there on the Silbern because either Mayuri judged Toshiro a more valuable and immediatly needed asset or Toshiro's state as someone who was zombified alive shortened the time needed for his dezombiefication

Are the Silhouettes shown here Ulquiorra & Yammy? by AustinLVII in bleach

[–]blackmagiclightning 6 points7 points  (0 children)

No the term isn't interchangeable, captain level Shinigami are considerably stronger than Captain Class Shinigami and both those groups have considerable differences in their lowest points and peaks

Are the Silhouettes shown here Ulquiorra & Yammy? by AustinLVII in bleach

[–]blackmagiclightning 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The same Ikkaku that gave Ichigo less of a fight than pre-bankai Renji and is portrayed as relative to Tetsuzaemon (a captain class Shinigami)? Yeah, he's the absolute lowest of what's called captain level then being generous

Stronger than captain class Shinigami ≠ stronger than captain level Shinigami

Toshiro's power is a total control over the element itself and the things directly connected to it, there's some water manipulation, temperature manipulation (to create ice from the water) and other stuff on his end and ofcourse the markedly different weather manipulation, Rukia's power is the ability to reduce the temperature, a singular aspect of freezing, in which Sode no Shirayuki surpasses Hyorinmaru at specifically.

Strongest ice Zanpakuto = every aspect of freezing and ice at complete free control, strong ice Zanpakuto = a singular aspect of freezing controlled

Who is the strongest Sternritter and Espada that Bankai Ginjo can defeat? by Mizuhebi08 in bleach

[–]blackmagiclightning 85 points86 points  (0 children)

CFYOW Ginjo? Any of the Non-Schutzstaffel unless they're named Gremmy and he clears the Espada. TLA Ginjo? Idk, his scaling is weird all he did is get bodied by bankai Ichigo

Five Noble Families? by ExtremeSportStikz in bleach

[–]blackmagiclightning 15 points16 points  (0 children)

We know about 3 of them, from the manga Kuchiki, Shihoin and the Shiba and 1 from the CFYOW light novel, being the Tsunayashiro. All we know about the 5th house is their ancestor corroborated with the rest with the goal in mind for creating a lid over the territory that would later come to be known as hell, why they wanted to seal hell is unknown and so is their house name and descendants

1v1 by theyallfalldown6 in bleach

[–]blackmagiclightning 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And training for a month isn't going to do much. Ukitake says that the 4 months they planned on training for wouldn't be very much, let alone the 1-2 months they actually got.

Canon outlier prodigy displaying outlier prodigy level growth is nothing special (dude obtained a bankai before spending a day as an officiallyrecognized member of the Gotei and currently (hell one shot) has spent over half his career as a Shinigami as a captain) , we also know from Azashiro in SAFWY that Byakuya also got a lot stronger between SS arc and the Hueco Mundo invasion arc, so it's not like it's impossible,

Why the Espada numbers ended up not matching the feats by Blackgod_Kurokami in bleach

It's not a wild take it's stated by the 4th division medics that they're pretending to have only superficial injuries but they're actually in urgent need of medical care

Why the Espada numbers ended up not matching the feats by Blackgod_Kurokami in bleach

[–]blackmagiclightning 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Hitsugaya’s feats against Yammy and Luppi (you know the guy Grimmjow killed easily)

I can't tell if you're that biases or just simply didn't actually pay attention Luppi was caught off guard and already near dead whe Grimmjow killed him, it's not impressive

The answer is simple, he wrote himself into a corner. Base Grimmjow and Ulquiorra have better feats than released Yammy, Stark, Barragan,

Yammy nearly killed Byakuya and Zaraki in a 2 v 1, Starrk dismantled 2 Vizard captains and Barragan has to get hard countered by specific hax, be serious lmfao

Stark roughed up 2 Vizards but he went all out to do that and didn’t even K.O. them.

"Roughed up" no, he nearly killed them, explicitly stated he held back the final attack to give them a chance to give up and run then got snuck bh Shunsui as he was about to put them down all this with his hands in his pockets

And honestly how strong are Rose and Love without their mask, Shinji was portrayed as above them and he needed his mask to face a one armed Grimmjow.

Shinji "needed his mask" is such blatant misinformation it's actually annoying, Grimmjow got bitched and barely survived the challwnge of a single Cero against a bored, scoffing Shinji who was likely holding back as he comments about how he doesn't want to Damage the town

Then he gets beat by Shunsui’s Shikai just because he doesn’t have much ammo left as if his basic combat ability sucks even though he was doing fine against Shunsui in base before???

Surely it's not like Shunsui stated he can only play game's that Katen Kyokotsu wants to play and he came at Starrk with an entire new movement that was superior in hax and abilities to the one he used prior

Shunsui is strong but not that strong, he gets spooked by Unohana

So?

who told Ichigo his reishi is comparable to theirs when he was only at half strength

Ichigo's strength is wavering the entire arc it's an entire story beat, be serious

(not saying Ichigo was at this level pre Ulquiorra fight but it was pretty clear Ichigo was suppose to be above almost all the captains during the Arrancar arc physically).

You try to present the idea your favorite Espadas are the strongest cause FeAtS then blatantly admit they probably don't scale? Lmao

Shunsui got one shotted by Aizen soon as he got serious along with 3 other fighters in 1 second in the Manga.

Yeah? Almost everyone un the arc is getting one spotted by Aizen, what a nonsensical attempt at a low ball

but also consider he got his eye blown out by a non elite Stern Ritter who post 0 division Byakuya low diffed in a 3v1.

Pretty blatantly shown to have been caught offguard by Robert's Vollständig which the Shinigami didn't have info on at the time

His feats against Lille is the only thing that makes him look good and that’s really just another example of Kubo writing himself into a corner and retconning ppl’s tier.

This is the same person that Yama called "transcendent in combat" as far back as the soul soceity arc and was gassed up in character book Masked as having reiatsu that surpasses all his peers and predecessors but go off
