Harribel Tia Harribel, the Third (Tercera) Espada who is the only current female member. She portrays a deep sense of loyalty to her fracción and to Aizen, and this is shown in her use of her Resurrección, Tiburón. She fights for those she holds close through the control of massive amounts of water which can drown anything in her path. Although she is very attractive in appearance, this shark can really pack a bite.

Yumichika Ayasegawa Yumichika is the 5th Seated officer in the 11th Division of the Gotei 13, his captain is Kenpachi Zaraki. Yumichika is a narcissist who judges almost everyone and everything by beauty. He is also incredibly vain. Yumichika is a powerful combatant and wanted to become the third Seat of his Division, as he thought the kanji for the number three was the most beautiful. Yumichika's zanpakutō is Ruriiro Kujaku, a kidō-type zanpakutō. However, since the 11th Division has an unspoken rule that zanpakutō are only to be used for direct attack, Yumichika keeps this fact secret. According to himself, he would risk dying to conceal his zanpakutō's true power. To conceal it, he releases with the name Fuji Kujaku, causing the vexed weapon to assume a form consisting of a sickle-shaped blade which can split into four identical blades.

Rose Ōtoribashi Rōjūrō, commonly referred to as Rose, is the former captain of the 3rd Division. He is an effeminate man with long, wavy, blond hair, and a frilly shirt. He seems to be interested in music. Rose appears to be one of the calmer and perhaps wiser ones amongst the group, though he becomes irritated whenever Love spoils a manga for him. Rose's mask resembles a bird's beak that protrudes out from his face. Rose's zanpakutō is named Kinshara. His shikai transforms the blade into a long, plantlike whip with a flower at its tip. Prefaced as Kinshara Eleventh Sonata, Kinshara's technique, Izayoi Bara, causes this tip to discharge an explosion of energy.

Aaroniero Aaroniero Arruruerie is the ninth Espada and last of the first-generation Espada. He has two skulls suspended in an unknown fluid contained in a glass tank for a head. Having been a Gillian before becoming an Arrancar, he rose in power by devouring the hollows, acquiring their abilities, power, and knowledge in the process. By absorbing the hollow Metastacia, Aaroniero also gained access to the abilities, knowledge, and even physical characteristics of Shiba Kaien and his zanpakutō, Nejibana, which can create and manipulate torrents of water. Upon the release of his own zanpakutō, Glotonería, Aaroniero transforms into a massive, monstrous blob and gains access to all of his absorbed abilities at once.

Aqua Beauty. #9 being on the opposing side with the only unique confirmed ability other than that useless information transfer one amoung his 33000 abilities being along the lines of water summoning is an advantage for Harribel. He'll probably beat Yumichika, particularly if he doesn't go true shikai, but he'll get bloody destroyed by her.

A whip admittedly is far more effective on a smaller opponent though, you have all kinds of fun stuff you can do with something like that even with something like Hierro, but even taking into account the boom, dealing with massive influxes of water is going to be rough, particularly since she gets stronger the more time she's given to play around with. She's got the range advantage to say the least, and since #9's going to go down with ease if she glares at him hard enough it's pretty much one on one with all the time in the world.

I think Halibel can take Rose. Hitsugaya fought her to a stalemate because of his ability, but even then needed Bankai. Rose is probably stronger in Shikai than Hitsugaya in Shikai, but I don't think even the mask can make up for Bankai. A whip isn't exactly the best weapon against someone who can fire a torrent of water towards you. Izio Bara isn't fast enough to stop the water that will be coming towards him, although the power is probably sufficient to disperse it if he had the opportunity.

Yumichika can take Aaroniero if he releases. Yumichika is probably in the low VC level, so going straight up against Kaien would get himself killed. But since he doesn't need to worry about who sees him use his real ability, he should be fine. Aaroniero's strength lies in his thousands of abilities, too bad we've only seen 1..... If he was captain level, I'd say he'd be okay, but he only seemed around high VC. So I see him getting caught.

[UchihaHunter]

I dunno who I'm going to vote for here, but random note about Aaroniero...

Didn't Zommari call him the only member of the original Espada still in the Espada? Basically, what I mean is that even though Szayel apparently evolved to the point of outranking his reiatsu, at some point, Szayel wasn't an Espada, but Aaroniero presumably still was. Even though he sealed Renji's Bankai, Szayel wasn't damaged much at all by Renji's Shikai...like at all, IIRC. Aaroniero isn't super strong, but I doubt he's only around high VC. He completely owned Rukia, who IMO seems pretty solidly VC level, and that was with one ability, and even after she got her resolve back. He's probably low Captain-level, below Komamura, but above Ikkaku. Otherwise, the dude Ikkaku fought would've been an Espada, no?

[ShootToKill]

I think Aaroniera would definitely take Yumichika unless he released, in which case Yumi might win - I don't think his and Aaroniero's Reiatsu difference is so great that Aaroniero could escape.

If Aaroniero won, I still think Hallibel could take both him and Rose, so right now I'm going with Aqua Beauty.

[UchihaHunter]

Actually, Aqua Beauty wins this. Harribel shits on Aaroniero, and I don't think Rose can beat Harribel with what he's shown.

[leshrak]

Yumichika has no reason not to release, as none of the fighters is from gotei 13. His shikai is pretty hax and i think it can beat Aaroniero. I also think Harribel can take Rose

[El Samurai Guapo]

Aaroniero can at the very least take Yumichika.

As for Rose, I'm not surprised at all by the comments on this thread, I've come to expect that most of you don't even treat Rose like he's good enough to be a captain, meanwhile the whole reason Harribel is in this losers bracket is because you all voted Kenpachi over her. I think Rose can take Harribel, she's nowhere near Starkk's level, and nothing in her arsenal comes even close to Starrk's wolves. She's strong in her own right, but if Lisa was able to hold her own against her, then by all means Rose should dominate.

I also don't understand what people have against whips here, they're a viable weapon, having better reach than a sword, and being far more difficult to predict. What's more is Kinshara can apparently be extended and retracted, so Rose actually has some pretty decent range. With the mask on, any strike from Kinshara is going to hurt, and if he manages to latch the flower onto her body and use Izayoi bara it's over.

I voted for Halibel over Kenpachi...I'm not underrating Rose, I think Halibel is a lot stronger than she gets credit for.

It's more that a whip won't do much to a giant wave of water. Also, what makes you think that her getting hit once by Izayoi Bara means it's over? I seriously doubt a single Shikai attack can drop a high level Espada.

[El Samurai Guapo]

What does the water have to do with making his whip ineffective? He's going to be targeting her, not her water (which Rose himself will just evade).

So what if Izayoi Bara is a shikai attack? There's lots of shikai out there that have abilities that can easily drop someone of Harribel's level. Suzumebachi? Katen Kyoukotsu? Benihime? Engetsu (Isshin)? Ryuujin Jakka? He's got the mask too, so even if his shikai wasn't normally as impressive as some of those I just mentioned, I think hollowfication more than compensates.

What? Why is it as simple as just evading it? Dodging a whip is far easier than dodging a giant torrent of water.

Suzumebachi, and Katen Kyoukotsu are in the more hax category. Ryujin Jakka is self explanatory, Behihime and Engetsu happen to belong to two VERY powerful Shinigami. Rose hasn't shown enough to say his power can rival those. Hollowfication makes things more powerful, but the degree is incalculable. Not saying it's weak, but one shot? No way.

[coolerthanzerok]

I think it's fun to consider that Yumichika's ability drains reiatsu, which Aaroniro has a WHOLE LOT OF. I feel like he'd release and just snap Ruriiro Kujaku into pieces. (at which point Harribel would stab him in the face anyways)

[El Samurai Guapo]

Yeah actually, the a giant wave is far easier to see coming and predict than Kinshara is. The water isn't as lethal either.

You can try and label them however you want, the point is shikai can kill top-tier esapda; so saying Izayoi Bara definitely won't do the trick simply because it's a shikai attack is dumb. Not everyone's shikai is worthless like Byakuya's. Heck even Gin who's also got a pretty worthless shikai is definitely sill capable of killing.

Sure the amount of damage Izayoi Bara will do is incalculable, just like with pretty much any explosion we've seen (e.g. lanza del relampago, jakuhou raikoben), but that also means you can't say "No way" either.

[Random101]

... A whip isn't lethal. Well, at least not with solidified skin. Water is far more lethal in a lot more ways.

Granted these are ways that are generally ignored by shounen, see also ice, fire, and lightning, but getting hit by a Cascada is going to hurt a hell of a lot more than getting whacked at with the whip. The advantage of the whip lies in grappling, ala how Aizen used it on Rose and Love, because thing doesn't cut to say the least. Particularly not against any sort of hierro, bar non captain level arrancar.

[Takahashi]

I don't understand....How is something like Cascada easier to dodge than a whip? Also, water is indeed lethal, it has tremendous crushing power.

No, I'm not saying Shikai in general. I'm talking about Rose's Shikai specifically, I don't see how, in any way it could one shot Halibel. Halibel who was hit with Hitsugaya's strongest attack, still fought, and took two slashes from Aizen himself to bring down. I don't see any proof that Izayoi Bara can replicate that damage in a single attack, at all.

Sure the amount of damage Izayoi Bara will do is incalculable, just like with pretty much any explosion we've seen (e.g. lanza del relampago, jakuhou raikoben), but that also means you can't say "No way" either.

I'm saying "no way" to a one shot, I'm not saying she cannot be killed by it. You're clearly underestimating her if you think a single attack would kill her.
