I meant it when I said with Bleach 10 didn't feel like enough. Where as with Naruto 10 felt like too many.

He didn't say his list is good

Also factually correct.

 

[Purity of Magi]

Ok, agreeing with Hardy that following those discussions was unwise...

It's okay. You are just only giving yourself spoilers. =D

 

[Hardy]

Oh, so, this was expected, but it's kinda sad that my favourite filler character wasn't included. The episode was placed in like, the worst moment possible, but it's cute.

I would had given him some points for sure.

 

[Copy Panda]

Faust, can you maybe spoiler the opening post so that it takes less space?

Last two before we start the final 10

One of these was my favourite Arrancar, the other was a character which should've won her final fight
I'm not sure she needed to be a 'Kenpachi', it really didn't add much to her character - guess it wasn't the worst thing that happened in the final parts, however
It also did give a reasonable explanation for her medical prowess

Starrk was awesome - his backstory and raison d'etre was great
He had a very relatable reason to want to follow Aizen and a super sad explanation for why he acted like he did and why he had the powers that he does

He reeked of power, without having to 'display' it constantly
(also, seeing how he 'collected' Rukia, I call BS on Zommari being 'the fastest Arrancar')

Also, his wolves were fsking awesome!

Yeah, he should be above Unohana tbh - at least he made the upper echelons of this round (if, sadly, not making it to the top 10)

[Ramen]

Unohana..... Such a legend. Made Zaraki a scared bitch.

 

[afromarco005]

Unohana is so beautiful and yet so deadly. Its a shame she didnt have much screentime...

 

[Hermit]

There were only two Espada who were fleshed out properly as characters. Stark was one of them.

 

[afromarco005]

I have no Idea why Kubo disrespected Starrk this much... he was la primera espada and had an amazing design but kyoraku beat him with his mere shikai... such nonsense

Also his cero pistols were so useless even point blank shots left captains unharmed...I don't understand why kubo did this

 

[Vici]

When it comes to Unohana...

Spoiler

How many times she killed Zaraki during that fight?

So at this stage characters in the top 10 are known for me the only secret is their rank.

I guess I can post a few more
... and this time with a 14 point power jump

Firstly, we have an adult who roles as a kid and a kid who acts like an adult
In the manga, I thought Nel was pretty great, but in the anime her voice was pretty grating

Hitsugaya has one of the most awesome zanpakutos in Bleach - and I love his interactions with Rangiku - but there's something about him which always pushes him out of my top characters list for Bleach
I think it's just because he's one of those 'hype' characters - the youngest captain with the most powerful ice zanpakuto...

And as for Yamamoto - that man is one of the few seriously overpowered characters that I enjoy in manga - he's well written, his zanpakuto is fire (a beautiful homonym of a blade) - although he did seem like the kind of character where the author had to resort to bullshit, just to deal with him...

Yeah, all in all, these are some good picks

Spoiler: light my fire

I removed Toshiro because he took too many Ls in the series. Waited so long for his "genius" to show. He was an okay character for me, really good abilities though.

Yamamoto...his death was so annoying; that is not how one of your strongest characters goes out. He should've at least had the Whitebeard treatment.

 

[Purity of Magi]

Coyote Starrk

​

Meme aside, I liked Starrk's when he apperead. His personality was nice and so was his design (and he looks handsome), imo. Also, his presence alone was strong enough to kill hollows nearby him that is how strong the dude was, but his fight against Shunsui felt so.... disappointing? Surely Shunsui was understimated, but like.... you are Primare Espada... iirc he even mentioned that he can shoot 1000 cero's at once (which we never saw). However gives up the fight because his comrade dies, and is not motivated to continue the fight anymore, like lol. I mean, what's the point of hyping a character like that and making the fight so.... underwhelming? Surely he never had the intention to fight, but come on... his dead felt so...... unjustified? Pretty much one of the characters that got wasted in such a unfortunate way... That left a bad after taste tbh. :/

Thanks for that Kubo.

Kubo: Thank you for your understanding.

 

[Demonspeed]

You guys ranked Kyouraku higher than Stark? Okay...

 

[Evil3ye]

smh emo lord was votes top ten

 

[Vici]

Rukia
Gin
Aizen
Ulquiorra
Zaraki
Yoruichi
Urahara
Shunsui
Byakuya
Mayuri

 

[Demonspeed]

I will only accept Yoruichi or Byakuya as N.1.

Aizen... Maybe.

 

[Evil3ye]

Byakuya

Why, he's basically an Uchiha?

 

[Vici]

I will only accept Yoruichi or Byakuya as N.1.

Aizen... Maybe.

It's Aizen or Zaraki imo..
