BARAGGAN, THE TRAGIC KING - How an Espada Lost EVERYTHING to Aizen's Rule | Bleach DISCUSSION

  • Of all the Espada, Baraggan is unique as the former ruler of Hueco Mundo. Because of this, Aizen's ascension to the throne directly impacted him and what backstory we get for this character highlights a surprisingly sympathetic villain. In this video, I want to look at Baraggan, his backstory, and how he represents the changing of Hueco Mundo's leadership.

      I always wondered if we would see a part of his backstory explaining the scars on his face , like you said has he always been the king since the beginning , and if so who challenged his throne in his past giving him those scars ? Considering his powers must have been someone powerful to even land a hit on him .. twice by the looks of it

      Well there’s nothing I can say you summed this up very perfectly as usual.

    I appreciate you pointed out Aizen's first action when meeting Barragan was casting Kyoka Suigetsu. Aizen knows the level of threat he's dealing with. Sure Aizen is stronger, but this guy rules Hueco Mundo for so long, so no doubt this guy is powerful. Aizen's not taking risk.

    He saw himself as the all powerful god of Heuco Mundo, exerting his time themed abilities to get what he wanted. Then 3 strangers showed up and one of them stopped him dead in his tracks. His reduction to accomplice in Aizen's plan was quite the fall from grace. It's for the best that Harribel took up a lighter mantel of post Aizen/Barragan and now Ywach Heuco Mundo.

      As I noted in my own comment, I'm curious of Barragan's residence pre-world splitting as he was ancient even in the pre-history. Not only that but how'd he take control of Hueco Mundo? A entire dimension (and HM seems to be an endless plain possibly, but at least planet sized) gets created on purpose, its not like the people who created it are going to just be like 'meh that dimension? we don't really care what happens there'. No, I suspect there would have been a power struggle and/or maybe being a early Vastro Lorde or THE 1ST ONE he got put in charge by 5 noble houses. They did a lot of questionable stuff in the era, so I wouldn't be surprised.

I always wanted more Hollow development after Ulquiorra's backstory.

    4:08- yeah for me, I was half expecting a dinosaur/bear/generic dangerous powerful animal release that would be dangerous, but would eventually be defeated when reading for the first time and not finding him engaging due to being a grumpy prick. However, his release of being a Royal Lich made him vastly more engaging, his powers being unique in the context of the manga I read at the time, his contradictory philosophy of being immortal/everything ends and being ultimately destined to be casted aside by a man who barged in out of nowhere, forced him into a role without his consent, led to him being surprisingly pitiful and leading to me lamenting his loss.

      Artydomi power scaling the Espada is almost impossible. Baraggan's Respira ability is pretty OP but the general consensus is that they are ranked by amount of spiritual pressure. In that regard, I can see how Stark is ranked number 1 overall and Baraggan is number 2. But there are plenty of outliers. Where does Ulquiorra's second release factor into the ranking? What about Yammy's 0 rank?

    He's my favourite Espada and I think just like all the espadas (except maybe Ulqiorra) Kubo did him dirty. My biggest problems of the espadas is that they didn't kill anyone.. and he was the most classic to one to do so.. he should have killed Omaeda and Soi Fon.. besides this I'm among those people who think he beats Stark and deserve number 1 but Aizen trolled him..

      How did Barragan "escape the abyss of death" and attain the beyond resurrection form? People keep telling me that, "he died." But so did Halibel and Halibel came back? I want Barragan back. I'm thinking that either: 1.) Respira wipes things out of existence completely so he couldn't come back and the beyond resuccion form is just a video game thing, or 2.) Barragan came back but was too "arrogant" to reclaim rule over Hueco Mundo after being defeated twice [pride is a terrible trait]. What do you think?

    Again too late for this, but it's interesting that Barragann didn't have at least one vasto lorde at his side or as a subordinate. If he has been ruling for so long I wonder how was his approach to such powerful hollows even if they are few in number and not that common.
    The vasto lorde in general is something that I feel Kubo didn't explore enough but well, things happen.

    Great video, Barragan is intriguing and it’s thanks to Kubo giving him a bit of story and character. I always wondered about the time Aizen, Gin, and Tousen visited him, and wonder what was the actual purpose to Aizen showing up. Sure, Barragan was “King” of HM but to what end, what extent? Was it sure that if Aizen set up shop in HM that he knew one way or another that he’d have to deal with Barragan eventually, or did Aizen simply want to recruit him? I feel as if the former could have lead into the latter. Also, what did Aizen allow Barragan to see and not see since he was confirmed to be under Kyoka Suigetsu? I’ve always wondered about these things.
    Anyway it seemed to me that Hacchi understood what significance Barragan once had, and gave him a slight nod of tribute after sending Respira back his way and subsequently made age age. (I was disappointed that this ended up being all we would get from Hacchi btw but that’s another topic... ) I also always thought it was interesting that he had the most (most named Fraccion anyway, Szayel technically had more I think) and the strongest Fraccion, perhaps a nod to his days leading armies of hollows, hell he could have been planning an eventual coup using some of these guys. He had an absolutely amazing design as well, one of the most properly “evil” looking characters in Bleach, also one of the most badass with his Axe and crown during resurreccion .

      ​@@MrTommo2304 If they where under the effect of Kyoka Suigetsu Aizen would just have made them kill one another and the last person standing would probably be in bad shape and easy to finish off. Kyoka Suigetsu is just stupidly op and only reason Ichigo was able to win was that Aizen decided not to use it on him.
      To be fair the only threat to Aizen is Yamamoto and he would have a bigger chance of winning 1 vs 1 then if all ganged up on him as Aizen can just use them to wither him down. The question is how much does Aizen know about Yamamotos bankai? If Aizen went in for a sneak attack while Yamamoto has his bankai aktivated it is possible Aizens zanpakuto would get destroyed by Zanka no Tachi: West and thus breaking the hypnosis allowing Yamamoto to easily destroy Aizen. Or if he got a lucky hit on Aizen by Zanka no Tach: North by randomly attacking in all directions. But knowing that Aizen is extremely patient and clever he would just wait for Yamamoto to drop his bankai before attacking as Yamamoto can't keep it up for long without destroying everything around him including himself.
      And this is base form Aizen, with the Hogyoku its impossible to beat him as it provides him with immortality + infinite power up. The only way to beat him at this point is a Deus ex Machina plot twist or possibly Yhwachs The Almighty but even then its debatable.

    It couldve been Heuco couldve been multiple kingdoms with different warlords. Each vasto lorde was a leader of their territories and one of the reasons why their arent as many of them is that they kept fighting and killing eachother. Barrangan ruined court couldve just been a territory he took and allowed it to just crumble apart after he completely took over and had no opposition so he became bored. This explain why he has an army for no reason.

    Like most of the other Espada I really wanted them to flesh why they were following Aizen in the first place , I remember when Ichigo and co met the first Hollow in Hueco Mundo and they talked about how Aizen was the man with no fear and then the clear colonialism metaphor with Aizen what would hollow identity mean if there is such a thing
    Barragan was the perfect character to pay that off

    (My fanfiction) at basic power
    Nan Madol would've given an Espada, Soul Reaper, Bount, Fullbringer, or yes even a Quincy 100 years worth of training in just one day without them aging at all
    (their appearance stays the same)!
    Then at full power Barragan's power would've increased by 100 fold

      I hate that people still say this.
      More spiritual pressure doesn't cancel abilities. Aizen just caused suzumibachi to fail because it has to pierce you to count. Just like kenpachi and ichigo. The gap in power meant the blade didn't cut his flesh. Which effectively means her ability can't trigger.
      If spiritual pressure can cancel abilities, then Gin's bankai would not of been able to dissolve an ascended aizen AND certainly Nanana would not be able to knock Aizen out with one little attack in the TYBW.
