Theory The 5 War Potentials

devstauk · Jun 18, 2012

Okay so i got to thinking and based on my theory that the 5 war potentials are based on the amount of reistu produced, being some kind of deterrent to the quincy's bankai steal/sealing process, my reason for thinking this is when Ivan couldn't steal/seal ichigo's bankai it was due to the sheer overwhelming amount that Ichigo let's out, If this is a factor then it would make sense to me that the 5 war potentials are Ichigo who we already know to be one, but also the three who fought Azien. Isshin, Urahaaha, Yoruichi my reasons for these three are the fact that being able to give him a reasonable beating, without even going bankai is pretty impressive feat, and lets be honest if they go bankai they would be serious powerhouses that emit immense amounts of Reistu so stealing or sealing would be damn near impossible to contain and possibly "control"
the last one like i said in another post is a toss up between Zaraki and Yamamotto, these two are in my eye the only other two it could be i mean lets face it Zaraki has this Unknown potential but going by what we know of him and seen what he is capable of it only suggests that he cant be subdued. The only thing that makes me think its not him is the fact he hasn't got bankai but we don't know if what gives the War Potentials that title has anything to do with bankai itself, if its not to do with bankai then it has to do with the Reistu these guys emit.
Yamamotto is kind of on the fence with this one, i don't think he's going to be a war potential due to BB basically looking overly confident that he's gunna :spank

Yama's arse so being a war potential kind of defeats the object.

I know some of you are going to say what about Shunsui, Ukitake and Unohana, lets just say these guys aren't weak and by any means should be taken out of the equation but you have to remember their bankai's for all we know may not have much to do with overwhelming amounts of Reistu but the control and physical effects they may have on their opponents so in my opinion these won't be war potentials.....

Now lets take a look at the back runners for the 5 war potentials, okay we have chad and orihime these guys aren't necessarily power houses or anything but we do have to take into account that their powers are unique and will come in handy for either side

My theory on what makes people war potentials is one of three things,
1. is to do with how useful they will be to either side
2. it has something to do with the reistu they emit, going by what we saw kirge do to allon this could mean that they all have that ability and the war potential has to do with this ability as well has the stealing/sealing
3. it has to do with the blood lines

1. Kurosaki Ichigo
2. Zaraki Kenpachi
3. Utikate
4. Aizen
