We never saw what a fully serious Starrk looked like, so unfortunately all we can do is speculate. He managed to keep up with 4 separate captains, and his main opponent was a much stronger captain than Soi Fon. Barragan’s hax are busted though, so it’s very possible he is in fact stronger.
I always got the feeling that the Espada weren't numbered by combat power, but more like purely on their reishi. As a hollow Stark had so much that it literally disintegrated other hollows or something, becoming lonely and causing it to split into him and Lilynette when it became an arrancar. Yammy gains more as he eats and rests, building up more than the other espada and becoming #0. Neither one of them felt stronger than Barragan ability-wise, but you could argue both had more "strength" purely numerically
I think so. His ability is a cheat. Remember the only fatal blow he got was when the visored Hachi and Soi Fon use his own power against him (tho I still don't get it why they made him not immune to his own power, oh well).
Fan head cannons are wild, and no Aizen could care less for things that already beneath him. Did he stop grimmjow from killing luppi for his spot back? No. Did he really care that Gin always wanted to kill him? Answer No If barragan could take number 1, he would but knew to sit. If Starrk was around, he ain't won't smoke. Note Aizen promoted the espada to fight for spots akin to ninatoro starting at 8 and after Nel going to 5 positions changed all the time.
I don't know but I always had the impression that these numbers were pointless. Ulqiorra and Grimmjow should definitely be higher. Halibel doesn't seem that strong. Resurrection Nel looks terribly impractical. She has strong punches, but would she be able to handle a fast and agile opponent like Ulqio or Grimm?
Barragan has one of the coolest bad ass powers in the anime world.
Is barragan stronger than stark? I read somewhere that aizen made him no. 2 just to mock him
