Gremmy was certainly powerful in terms of his imagination, but I doubt Zaraki was the only one capable of defeating him. In fact everything we've seen Gremmy dish out against Zaraki, Renji could handle aside from the meteor and his explosive cloning ability. We just haven't seen enough out of...

Yeah current Ichigo beats Byakuya almost all the time. But who knows, Ichigo does have a tendency to struggle with people he shouldn't have.

I don't have a clear cut favorite but so far these are mine: Haschwalth Askin As Nodt - I really dislike what Kubo made him into in the end. Liltotto

I see Mask defeating pre Unohana-fight Zaraki, with a lot of difficulty. Kenpachi is obviously better than Kensei and Rose, so he should last longer.

Yes, military wise. Captains strength within this military is a whole 'nother thing. Who exactly is the Bleach dagger referring to if not the other captains? Surely not some seated officers and even Vice Captains can be excluded to some extent.(Except for the very obvious ones, like Renji for...

I assumed it was for experience and position according to their divisions or something. Yes. Kubo has mentioned this in a interview somewhere.

Specification is not required here though. We know for a fact that Lieutenant level individuals and below are nothing compared to a full powered captain. After Yamamoto, the Captains are the Gotei 13 when it comes to strength and power. An earlier translation I seen of 'The Dagger' also stated...

What we've seen in the manga, I personally believe many if not all of the captains will have a difficult time defeating Byakuya. I constantly see Visored captains are greater than he is, but based on what? The only opponent Shinji fought worth anything was Aizen, and that wasn't because of his...

Aizen with his glasses Starrk(Base and Resurrección) Shinji

While I agree about wiki not being good source to rely on, there are a couple of things wrong here Duniak. Byakuya is indeed a master of Flash steps, (Hohou to be more precise). His usage of Utsusemi is proof of this. Shunpo is the most basic technique of fast movement, and not everyone is...

Byakuya only used bankai when the moment a-rouse, not out of necessity. The only real fight he used it for an extended period of time was against Ichigo. Against Renji he used it to show the difference between their power, symbolically. His match against Zommari, he used it out of anger, because...

I don't know what you mean by your first sentence. Anyhow. Every SternRitter had a unique power and special ability, but none of them were as dangerous and lethal as "Fear". I never said As Nodt was stronger than any of them(although I did strongly hint at it for some of them). The SternRitter...

Could be interesting, but I honestly don't see Unohana defeating Gin and his deadly bankai while simultaneously fighting off the rest of this team. CQC and Zanjutsu, she destroys.She may even take two of them down with her but outside that, Kamishini no Yari presents terrible match-up problems...

A lot indicated As Nodt possessed a power other Stern Ritters did not have. This same power totally made one of the mentally strongest captains falter under pressure. Nothing proves that the Stern Ritter Shunsui fought would be dead from a single strike. Every other Captain may have very well...

Fully agreed, but one part, Captains and Vice Captains are the only shinigami that matters in this particular situation. You'll never hear of a seated officer holding his or her own against any relevant foe. Byakuya fell against a very strong and unusually powered enemy. I honestly don't see how...
