I'm sorry but Kensei should only be above Iba, Isani, and maybe Lisa. His fighting style and his appearance character design wise is cool but the dude sucks he's not fast like the second squad captain so there's no way he is beating her he doesn't have the best techniques or anything to compensate for his super close range fighting style which is why every battle we have seen him in he has lost and didn't even put up a good showing for someone of his caliber being a captain Soi Fong being able to keep up with and put up a decent fight against the former second division captain I don't know how to spell her name is a better showing than anything he has ever done not to mention him fighting against the second espada would have been way worse and more humiliating than Soi Fong .
The Original Gotei 13 Captains, other past captains, ZSquad Zero and the normal captains in Bleach Anime before TYBW are the strongest ones and in TYBW Vaizards they are stong of corse, but the weakest captains in my opinion. Would you make a tier-list video about of Bleach Liutnentas Ranked weakest to strongest next pls? 😊❤
So I love your videos but I'm going to disagree with you greatly on this list You mentioned a bunch of weaknesses and drawbacks of several characters like shinji and how his Bankai works, The former kenpachi with his 6-month cooling period as well as Rose being his own worst enemy by being dramatic yet you put Toshio over Byakuya and Yuroichi? You are aware that in order for him to use his full power and his matured Bankai he needs to be completely exhausted right? That is probably the biggest drawback on this list because as powerful as they are he would never make it to being exhausted they would defeat him long before he got to use his mature bun guy especially Byakuya who now knows how it works after seeing it in the final arc additionally they are way more skilled and experienced than he is overall this list is okay but there are several defects some characters you gave more leeway while some you kind of piled on with the reasons as to why they are ranked low without doing the same thing for others.
Additionally if we are to take the second squad captain who was able to almost keep up in speed with the previous second squad captain during the soul society arc we can say that the current 2nd division captain is much faster than the 10th division captain that being said what are the chances of him surviving fighting her with His Bankai vs her Shiki and flash cry? They have comparable spiritual pressure there will be no way he would ever make it to his mature Bankai fighting against her he would lose.
@@SasukeY2JItachi even without his adult form he was able to fight gerard and freeze him somewhat, he also no diffed cang du with bankai so he would survive long enough to go into adult form and would then freeze byakuya and kill him
Unohana was quite literally a weaker Kenpachi who could only heal as her only other skill. She was the only one who could bring out Kenpachis true strength without him AND her dying until it was done. She fulfilled her role. The only loss is having someone there who could heal more soldiers. But otherwise the fighting strength would have just been weaker.
@@lillith7257 That's a lot of words to say "We wrote this so we could fridge a woman character to motivate/buff a male one." This is a particularly bad example of fridging since she didn't get to fight a single bad guy before it happened. And an extremely powerful healer would have been a great thing to have in the upcoming battle even if she never drew her sword.
@@WUZLE nah you're just braindead. The old guard gave way to the new guard, the gotei was stagnant Yachiru wasn't even a peak healer, Kirinji, Kisuke and Orihime outclass her.
I think the Gotei 13 at the beginning of soul society arc was the most formidable. Aizen, Gin and Tosen were particularly exceptional and they still had Unohana who was one of the best healer recorded.
@@Leopez02 Aizen and Gin were amongst the most talented. The line up with two-arms Yamamoto, Mayuri, Zaraki, Shunsui, ect. Seems to be the most potent.
Tousen is underpowered imo. Kubo should have made him more powerful. Lets imagine Tousen, Gin and Aizen were fighting the Quicy alongside the GOTEI 13. Aizen and Gin would be sending the Sternritters back to Yhwach in bodybags. Tousen would likely not be able to beat most of the Sternritters 1 v 1..
Isane should honestly be higher than Iba; Iba himself stated he wasn’t captain material while Isane performed her divisions specialty in healing especially in TYBW taking command after Unohana’s death and keep Kensei/Rose alive and some other healing demonstrations; we recently got confirmation of Isane’s Shikai “Itegumo” to be an ice/snow type zanpakutō with a healing ability while we know nothing about Iba’s shikai; also it was stated that Iba couldn’t become the lieutenant of squad 11 and so he changed squads to squad 7 and he had a draw with Ikkaku who lost to a significantly weaker Ichigo; Isane got one shot by Ichigo; however, Ichigo was strong enough to destroy Getsuburi and also one shot Sasakibe who was stated to have been captain level already; either ways both don’t have any battle contribution but Isane has just demonstrated more than him
Yeah, Iba said that, but he's also very hard on himself, so it's difficult to say if that's true or not. Chojiro was never Captain level. His Bankai was what was special and gave him the capacity to step up and become a Captain if he wanted, but he obviously never did. Chojiro is like Arrancar Arc Renji in that he's Vice-Captain level but with 2,000 years to perfect said Bankai.
Why getting a draw agasint ikkaku would be an antifeat tho? If anything it proves hes better. Wasnt ikkaku literally captain level? He was being considered to substitute and had a Bankai before any of them. And ikkaku also complimented him saying he was versatile knew a bunch of abilties etc
@@oilalalabla9211 i mean it would just prove their base captain level and not much else. Ikkaku's bankai is literally the worst in the entire series. it's pure power with no other skills. it's power isn't even Espada level.
I don’t think people realize how impressive yorouichi, Ishin and Urahara are. While Kyoraku got speed blitzed by base Aizen, an evolved Aizen admitted that the three of them would have beat him with their combined attack if he wasn’t fused with the hogyoku.
Aizen wasn't actually trying as he wanted to test how hogyoku would react on him getting hurt, the moment he got serious he oneshoted all 3 of them lmfao
@_Ghost_HD_ thats because aizen thought that urahara already might have counter for kyoka suigetsu so it would be pointless to use kyoka against him. and urahara knew weakness of ks that it will not affect you if you dont see his shikai release
What you don’t realize is that Shunsui got defeated easy because Aizen used Kyoka Suigetsu against him, and you are also forgetting Shunsui was already drained and hurt from his fight with Starrk, the Primera Espada, and he also couldn’t use his Bankai in there. Had Aizen used Kyoka Suigetsu against Yoruichi or Isshin they would’ve been blitzed same as others, he didn’t use it against them for two reasons that were already mentioned by others in here: (1) he was testing his early Hyogoku powers and (2) Kisuke could’ve prepared a counter against it. Your analysis is flawed in gauging the accurate character’s strength because it were two completely different scenarios, and you also omitted some facts in there.
Nah putting soifon below love and kensei is insane I have her above all the vizards actually… and byakuya has always been portrayed to be relative with kenpachi having him lower than ukitake and gin is wild… and finally youruichi isshin and Urahara are like the sannin of bleach and are all relative. They were all able to damage Aizen in base. If anything isshin is laking as he never went up against anyone in tybw (except white… but like…)
Soifon definitely deserves to be above at least all the visord captains( beyond Shinji). Her strength often gets overlooked due to constantly being matched up against people who counter her abilities perfectly but realistically that just goes to show how lethal her arsenal is, she could've killed Barragan with her Bankai if he didn't age it in time, she could've killed BG9 with her shikai and Shunko if he wasn't made of steel and she was pretty much on par with a SS arc Yoruichi before they whipped out their trumps. Soifon is lethal and I see her as a bigger threat than the likes of Kensei and Love with the majority of opponents( Rose is more debateable seeing as his bankai is just that good).
Soi-Fon could have obliterated BG9 with just Shunko but only if she had let BG9 kill Omeada and his sister. If she'd gone for the head rather than catch all those bullets and then destroy his gun, BG9 would have died then and there. Ironically, she got messed up so bad because she ignored the code of the Stealth Force and saved her subordinate rather than use that opening to eliminate the enemy
@@corruptangel6793I’m a huge Soi Fon fan, but it’s debatable if she could one shot BG9 if she went for the head. He’s a robot after all and was able to move around with a massive hole in his chest and head. So even if she was able to rip his head off or twist it 180 degrees, he might just be able to survive it regardless. The 180 head twist I’m almost certain. Ripping the head off is another questionable thing. He was able to take a direct punch to the face with no visible damage. Even if she could, it wouldn’t surprise me if he just picked it up off the ground with his probes and reattach it somehow.
Soifon above Shinji is wild. I am a Shinji stan for a reason. Soifon couldn't do a single thing alone. Shinji could've taken out Grimmjow, who's a rank 6 espada. Grimmjow was struggling with masked Shinji. Sure, he hadn't activated his Resureccion but Shinji hadn't even activated Shikai, let alone Bankai if he needed to fight multiple arrancar alone. Shinji could theoretically fight all 10 espada at once or at least the top 3 since Stark would slaughter the other two under Shinji's Bankai. Shinji has only lost to Shikai Aizen and bambietta due to it being a bad matchup and Shinji unable to use Bankai around other Shinigami AND not using a mask. I don't see how soifon could compete aside from her speed which becomes useless under his Shikai
@@elementcreed257 ahhh. I'm used to people saying it as "besides Shinji." I've never heard of it being said as "beyond Shinji," I agree with you then lol I see far too much Shinji hate
It doesn't make any sense to rank Ukitake above Byakuya. His sickness is who he is. Since the beginning of the main story. He should be near the bottom.
Yh he doesn't get his spotlight but i would bet my money on ukitake being stronger. Byakya's cards have been layed on the table from near the beginning, ukitake's bankai is still an mystery. His shikai is also one of the most intersting types, as seen with hims battle against stark. I would say that he is better, just that he is ill so he can't show it much. Also he was trained with shunshui, they must be near about equalish in strength imo since they go hand in hand and have compatibility with one another. Also he is the only other duel bladed zanpakto, he's definately a rare one and has a lot of potential, especially with the way he 'died'
@mikhilpatel8680 should we not rank him on how he consistently/normally performs? Even when he is prepared for battle, he fails badly. Literally, nothing else matters. He is not strong for a captain.
@distanthope9153 I understand that Ukitake would be top 10 if he wasn't sick, but unfortunately, he is sick. And it's not a temporary de-buff. It's part of his character. So, unfortunately, he is weak for a captain. Legitimately, everyone reacted to Wonderweiss's speed except a battle-ready Ukitake.
@@kagelynx Byakuya reached those levels post RG. And CYFOW supports this. He is comparable to Shunsui and Yoruichi which makes him around the same tier as the Older Captains .
Byakuya should by higher than gin. Theres no way he would still be weaker than him in TYBW. Plus, shunshi even said the next head captain after him would be Byakuya. Thats should speak volume of his power and skills
@@Blackmustache870 power and skills should also be a factor. We haven't seen any leadership from byakuya at all, but we know he arguably the most skilled captain when it comes to kido. Also, he is the most skilled captain when it comes to flash step after soi fon
@@simpgod2170 yes we do, he's the most lvl headed in battle of the remaining captains, he values soul society customs and doesn't mind making it known. Who else would be more suited than him from a leadership standpoint? Shinji, the guy who won't shut up abt his abilities? Zaraki, who literally can't lead?
So to put things in perspective, when ichigo first arrived to the soul society with minimal experience he beat bya. Gin easily stop ichigo in hollow form their first encounter
@@casinojay9540 that was over a year ago. Everyone had 17+ months worth of training since then and byakuya trained with squad 0. Heck renji with shikai alone is already stronger than bankai kensei and we all know byakuya is still stronger than renji
I'm sure that with a little more tutoring and training by Yoruichi, Soifon may be able to shine in the future. Yoruichi will also teach Soifon more humility and patience, she's already made strides to disarm the extremely cruel and dehumanizing effects of Squad 2 training to moderate her personality.
I hate how Kubo treat Soifon. She has pretty badass shikai ability. But Kubo using Aizen make her ability obsolete. She at first admitted that she doesn't like her bankai, because it's not fit to her style of fight, and then she keeps spamming bankai after that like she is Hitsugaya lol. She should fight more like her mentor and using her strength.
I disagree. Her Bankai fits her perfectly. Consider this, Soifon has a two hit kill technique and as far as I remember has never cast a bakudo to take advantage of this. Instead she increases her speed so she can hit you twice in the same spot. Part of that is because if her infatuation? with Yoruichi but the rest is an ego thing. Her having a loud, destructive Bankai simply reveals her true nature.
I respect the list but without much bias, i think Byakuya should be either right below or in Toushirou's spot theres a reason he's in line to be the next head captain and while his manga showings have him needing help with the strongest of enemies, hes probably one of the only captains in or rather should be in top 10 that doesnt have a single thing in the line of being over powered, hes skill incarnate, no hacks or broken abilities in the slightest and can more than hold his own.
It would be cool if Itegumo could manipulate cold/ice/snow in a way that can heal people. Like freezing wounds, or something along those lines, feel free to flesh that out yourselves.
I will put Kyoraku at number 3.Especially if this is list for 1v1 fights.I agree that Urahara and Kenpachi are better in most scenarios cause Shunsuis Bankai can't be used when allies are around.
@clips9294 I get why people put them above.Kyoraku mostly uses shikai due to his Bankai being so dangerous.Shikai Kyoraku is not match for Kenpachi or Urahara(Bankai).But in real 1v1 scenario they are automatically defeated if Kyoraku uses Bankai from the beginning.He managed to "kill" a being like Barro who scales way above Kenpachi and Urahara.Barro survived due his immortality and even tho he was deemed as undamagable with physical attacks Shunsuis bankai managed to inflict pain and damage to him forcing him to turn to that other immortal form
@@clips9294shunsui bankai 3rd stage when both his opponent and his reiatsu starts getting drown out and if shunsuo doesn't have more reiatsu he can't use the 4th stage and we know zaraki has more reiatsu way more so he can stand shunsui bankai
@@clips92942nd of all cfyow novels tell kenpachi becomes the strongest shinigami in gotei 13 who one shotted ikkimidome idk what ever that guy name is and is also on par with ichigo in terms of physical strength he could have easily defeated hikone who is a sk candidate
@@TheDBLANCHARD thats the point. she is not strong like kyoraku, kenpachi, byakuya, toshiro but kubo made her face tough opponents like barragan as if she’s on their level instead of making her a support type captain just like the visords who lost everytime they battle
Byakuya is literally him, the only living captains giving a run for his money are Kyoraku and Zaraki. He would have a very evenly matched fight against Kyoraku until he starts fighting dirty which unlike Byakuya he has no qualms about doing and that would secure him the victory... Zaraki simply overpowers him after a prolonged struggle unless Byakuya can survive long enough for his own bankai to turn against him. Outside of those two, every other captain including Toshiro simply gets out-skilled, out-sped, or out-smarted
Nah I agree with Byakuya’s placement cause he is basically at his max power .Cause the way I see it if any of the peaple who are ranked above him go to the royal palace and trained they would wash him
Kenpachi probably reached close to his potential to beat Azashiro and re-nerfed himself after. I suspect that Mayuri doesn't sleep and that's one reason he's such a lunatic
@@AshyKnucklez757 Thats not canon bc he still has all his seals at the start of tybw. Even if he did it doesnt matter bc Pre tybw Zaraki defeated cooked Azashiro twice. The same Zaraki that got no-diffed by base Unohana.
Disagreed with Soi Fon being that low. In ss arc she was able to constantly tag Yoruichi, the same Yoruichi who's faster than Byakuya while she was carrying Ichigo. Yoruichi was capable of piercing Ichigo's stomach with her hand, Ichigo was stated to have captain lvl reiatsu by Ukitake. She was able to hold her own against Baraggan despite having a disadvantage, Baraggan being able to slow things down that get near him and make them age, putting Soi Fon at the disadvantage in the fight especially considering that she's a close ranged fighter, and making her shikai useless against Baraggan. She was able to damage Baraggan with her bankai while having some help in the fight with Hachigen (forcing Baraggan to take her bankai head on) She gets another unfair fight against BG9, BG9 being able to get tagged from her shikai without actually getting affected by it. I believe Soi Fon did speedblitz BG9 during the second fight, but he's just too durable
Beautifully said. Soi Fon gets a bad rep and it’s honestly annoying that everyone seems to be unable to actually look at her fights and see just how much Kubo stacked the odds against her practically handicapping her abilities.
I do think so. In my opinion Shikai Zaraki can be above shikai yama, as I see Yama having no way to deal with Gremmy's meteor in shikai. His bankai on the other hand is a different game altogether, ZnT might be the biggest boost in stats or capabilities among any other bankai. I don't see zaraki's nameless bankai no-selling or getting through all the flames.
@@johanmelis12 We have different concepts underestimating Zaraki's powers already has a lot of reatsu In the bank, he has even more And no matter how strong Yamamoto is, he is not at Zaraki's level
@@presixnine In my head I always put Zaraki in the same tier as Yama, where either of them could win, it would only depend on who swings his sword first. In terms of brute strengh and reiatsu I see Zaraki having the upperhand, but Yama could probably still incinerate him with his bankai, although I don't know what to think if they clashed swords. Like, who wins between a sword that cuts through anything and another that erases anything ?
this list in general is terrible, Soi Fon weakest Captain not counting the 3 new captains after TYBW? her Shikai is so strong she can kill you with 2 hits. she could kill many captains with that ability
A ranking of "all" captains (some like Ginrei left out for obvious reasons) is interesting, although I disagree on some things, like Gin and Toshiro in the top10, as well as some placements below, also it would make more sense for characters like Tosen and Gin to consider them only when they were captains. The strongest 5 are that, but I would list them in different order 👺🌸🍭👓🔥
The reason the visards dont use bankai and hollow mask together was explained. It outs too much strain on the user, and makes it almost impossible to not lose control of the hollow
Kuruyashikis 6 month cooldown period post-Bankai reminds of Shisui Uchiha from Naruto and his 10 year cooldown between uses of Kotoamatsukami. Kubo and Kishi knew they had to put some kind of shackles on abilities that busted lol
Byakuya in the context of the story is clearly meant to be a close competitor of Kenny and Toshiro in the final showdown with Gerard, just like when the 2 faced Espada 0. He experienced similiar training to the others and was a way higher base then Rukia and Renji before squad zero training. This just isn't a take that is likely true within the story imo too big a gap between elite next gen captains at a time when everyone had gotten a neat vague power up.
The reason a lot of visored's didn't use their mask when in bankai is due to them losing control of themselves if they do. I believe it was explained as well when ichigo stopped doing it down the line as well, might be wrong though but its what I remember reading about
For most of the visored, I feel the concern is the inner hollow overtaking their zanpakuto.(though this theory was derived back before the reveal about White for Ichigo.) For Ichigo, there isn't the same concern because his zanpakuto derives from the inner hollow.
Soi Fon is criminally underrated. Now I don't know her ranking by the end of the series cos power levels sort of get fucked up during the TYBW arc, but let's say among the original Gotei 13 in the SS arc I would easily put her on the same level as Ichimaru and Byakuya, i.e. mid-tier. Shunpo, hakuda, two-shot kill Shikai, super destructive Bankai, and then Shunpo. Like, how can you even put her at 23??? She even held her own against opponents like Yoruichi and Baraggan.
Exactly. And to make it even better, she can actually combo 3 of those using them at the same time. She can simultaneously use her shikai and Shunko at the same time. Her shunpo technique such as cloning and the multiple other can also be used. Imagine 15 Shunko+shikia Soi Fon coming at you from multiple angles. This is legitimately something she is capable of doing, but Kubo never let us see it because he puts her in the worst match ups.
finally someone who doesnt talk down Soi Fon, lets goo. my girl is very strong her Shikai is so strong she can kill you with 2 hits. she could kill many captains with that ability
"Gerard's power had been negated by Hitsugaya's ice" What??? Hitsugaya nullifies abilities, hax, not power. Byakuya desintegrated Gerard's entire head while toshiro froze the body, and that was a vollstanding POST bankai zaraki gerard. It was a team attack, why the f people give all the credit to hitsugaya? Lmfao Furthermore he later even goes and casually blocks an attack from light form gerard, the dude is in that tier of power. Really infuriating how much Byakuya is downplayed holy sh*t.
Byakuya snuck in and attacked an already weakened and immobile gerard. Believe it or not, being frozen to the core damages a lot more than just losing abilities. Byakuya destroyed a frozen statue, not that big of a feat.
@pepeelghetto1231 u reread. In one panel, we literally see the tattoos of gerard not frozen on his BODY. The next, his entire body was frozen, meaning during the timespan byakuya activated senkei and launched ikka senjinka, toshiro had the time to freeze the parts that weren't frozen prior. If the head was destroyed while not frozen, we would clearly see blood but that wasn't the case
@@pepeelghetto1231Gerald touched toshiro which made his get frozen and ur also ignoring the fact that Gerald is working overtime to break out of the ice that can literally freeze concepts 😭😭 that’s not just a regular ice
About of the history of Soul Society Gotei 13 i'm really interested and excited to see when Ichigo's dad Isshin, Urahara Kisuke and the Princess a black cat God of Thunder my all time favourite Bleach character Yoruichi Shihoin were Gotei 13 Squad Captains and about of the future of Gotei 13 captains I would LOVE to see Renji, Rukia, Hisagi, Ikkaku, Yumichika and even Yachiru as Gotei 13 captains! But because Isshin was the Gotei 13 captain with that reason could Ichigo never be a captain or will and he wan't to play as solo and with he's friends Chad, Orihime and Ishida always? These are things that is so interesting to think so i'm glad that you made this surprisilly LONG and AWESOME video about the Bleach Gotei 13 Captains Ranked to weakest to strongest that I can't rank captains because I like every Captains defienitily Yamamoto, Ukitake, Soi Fon, Komamura, Kyouraku, Kuroutsuchi, Unohana, Hitsugaya, Byakya, Zaraki, Aizen, Gin, every past captains defienitily Yoruichi and Urahara, new caprain Vizards like Shinsi and Kensei, but why every Vaizards aren't captains like Hyori and others? And I'll watch this video the whole day, but it's the BEST only because it's about Bleach the number one Anime BANKAI: Senbonzakura Kageyoshi! 🌸🗡🌸🗡🌸🗡
i think its because it is considered a "taboo" if they used hollow powers, under Yamamoto's regime before he died. However i think that Shunsui shouldve given the Vizored captains a go signal to hollowfy, since Shunsui is open to using underhanded methods during that war such as *freeing Aizen*
I'm pretty sure that Hiyori said that if a vizard used their mask and bankai at the same time the hollow in them might take control so it risky and its different from when ichigo uses it because his hollow is trying to protect him
I think Isane being a captain is mostly because she's the best healer who is alive right now, remember that her squad does not normally go into combat and is rescue focused
I will say that at least surrounding the vizard and arrancar arc, it was stated that the vizards couldn’t operate with both their mask on and using bankai as it was too taxing, even keeping it on for too long was. Ichigo was solely unique in how long he was able to fight with his mask and in his bankai state (despite it not being his true bankai). May explain why they didn’t use it during the Quincy invasion 🤷♂️
you forgot to put my uncle Tsukushima captain of the now disbanded squad 14 he was not only a great man but even a candidate for head captain. He trained up some of the greats and was really a stand out guy
Without prep, urahara should be lower than shunsui. He doesnt have data on the captains beforehand like mayuri does, so his intelligence while strong, is severely limited. With prep, he should be higher than yama imo
Its mentioned that combine a hollow mask with Bankai can make the Vaizard lose control of their hollow powers and go berserk. The only one that could control it was Ichigo
4:10 I still don’t understand what the point of bringing this up is. Putting Isane this low because she has no combat feats while being the captain of a healing division. Why are basing her combat ability instead all the people she kept alive during the arc. Nobody is asking the 4th division to fight
Rose should honestly be at the bottom...these vizard guys are more senior than most of the current captains, have hollow power ups, and have been training since they got out of Sereitei but they were utterly useless on fights. Love and Lisa also took lead on containing hollowfied Kensei while Rose was errr....being Rose 😅
In defense of the Vizards its been said that using thier Hollow Masks and Bankai at the same time is too exhausting for them. In a war setting where its fight after fight, using the masks with bankai will just cause them to lose. Ichigo is the only exception to this for obvious reasons. As for why they didn't use shikai with hollow mask, my headcanon is that their bankai are strong than hollowfied shikai.
My problem with using the 1000 year war as a metric is that most sterns had very gimmicky powers. For example, Renji defeating mask felt very unearned after all mask did.
I cannot be the only one that is sick and tired of hearing the up-and-coming hell arc, the up-and-coming hell arc, the up-and-coming hell arc, the up-and-coming hell arc when there has literally been no verification whatsoever from Kubo or anyone in his camp about it!
Amazing video!! The only change i would make on the list is to place yamamoto above zaraki not just as the second most powerful shinigami captain but as a truncsendant being that ever lived purely out of experience and thousands of years of training plus the unreal destructive power of his zanpakuto compared to the most simple melee type of zaraki's. As for their reatsu level i would say they were pretty close but yamamoto has far superior reatsu control over zaraki due to his millennial experience...!
remember when Kensei Muguruma was teaching Hisagi bankai he told him central 46 banned them from using the hollow masks but since captain kurotsuchi evened the balance of the realms by killing 28000 rukongai citizens that there was no one in the rukongai to see why they went there to train
Ishin fight with aizen at the beginning at least, didn't fight aizen to exhaustion. It was clearly stated that Aizen was weakened and at his limit because he was literally transforming mid fight. And no, not at limit meaning fight at full strength.
What, I think, most forget by talking about this, is that every Captain has to be able to use Bankai. We dont even know about Iba and Isanes Shikai, so we cant realy Imagine what Bankais the have.
That's not true, the only time we ever hear of a captain without bankai it's Zaraki, the guy that's constantly treated as an anomaly and a freak of nature If somehow either Isane, Iba or Lisa became captains without bankai that would imply they are disgustingly powerful without it
Even though Shinji's bankai seems "useless" unless alone against a large number of enemies, you forget that he can do pretty much the same thing with just his shikai, hollowfied and actually being serious, there's less to no chance most of the opponents would be able to even touch him, even in between ranked much above him. And you didn't even mention his greatest moment in "can't fear your own world" where he single handedly took on the massive amount of enemies (which btw could even reproduce hundreds in an instant) which most of the others would have simply die to exhaustion continuously being tremendously outnumbered.
In CFYOW, Byakuya, Shunsui and Yoruichi are all around the same Reiatsu ballpark. Byakuya is that strong naturally while Toshiro needs to wait to even reach that form. He’s not lasting against Byakuya, Zaraki or Shunsui without it and even with it, it used up so much stamina that he needed Byakuya to finish Gerard who was unaffected by Toshiro’s abilities. Unohana even stated that Ichigo and Byakuya were Kenpachi’s true rivals. So post RG and CYFOW Byakuya along with Hell arc is above her.
Unohana, who is of the same strength as Yamamoto (here are the differences When you are a fan of Yamamoto and put him in the top 1-2 bleach And when you are not a fan You put the top 10 Funny people
im just sad that we couldnt see more gin development even though to be fair his story perfect and it was a great plot twist at the time . Still i felt at the time than gin was insanely strong and on a duel one of the strongest also his bankaki had so much potential for future fights , it sucks we couldnt see more .
Remember kenpschi went toe to toe in speed with Hikone, who was using flash step, hirenkyaku, sonido and even light bring Infact Kenpachi and Hikone moved so fast, Yoruichi and Byukuya seemed frozen Hisagi described it as teleportational speed
Yes, gin is really really strong but people usually forget why gin was able to hurt Aizen and it's not only because he caught him by surprise but also because Aizen had lowered his rishi. Remember that at the point when he was fighting Ishin, yoruichi and urahara they stoped being able to feel his reiatsu but ichigos friends could when he got to karakura town
If BBS's 10 yrs after rukia is to be taken as canon scaling/mastery for rukia than a argument should be made for various other characters that are on the list to give us some aditional knowledge of what they are capable ,Iba and Isane have been shown to use high level kido and komamura as well,him specificaly has a unit that uses a quite huge shakkaho and his kit also has other ones such as rikujokoro ... that doesent necesarily elevates or decreases positions but it is some aditional info on what they could do But i do believe he should be at least 2 positions above

@@Scorpy666 bro ,what are you talking about ? I am not implying anything,i am stating that the 10 years in the future ichigo and rukia from the game the rukia that can move in her bankai is canon to the hell chapter one
Its pretty possible that all vizards dont use their bankai along their masks because the only one we've seen doing that is ichigo and it is due to its enormous amount of reiatsu, a resource the other vizards dont have, this would make sense since lisa and mashiro while training him were amazed about his capability to mantain both transformations along
Think the vizards issue with hollow using bankai is the focus they use and thought they went over it at some point and the fact it changes some bankai.
TBH, recently I've come to think that these kinds of ranking videos don't work. I think within their specific Spirit Class, their ranks are interchangeable. So, for example, anyone with a spirit class of 3 can beat anyone else in that class depending on prep, tactics, how their abilities match up, environment, mentality, and so on. I'd be much more interested in your thoughts on who would be in which spirit class. Especially for characters like Unohana
The issue I have with your complaint about Rose is that him saying how his Bankai works is for us, the reader/viewer. All anime and manga do it, its so we know how it works.
Yoruichi over post TYBW Byakuya is an insane take as I think Byakuya would be able to defeat TYBW Kenny and Toshiro, both of which you have ranked higher. Hitsugaya still needs to wait out the timer on his banaki to even play ball with the other two boys, and honestly, both incapacitate him handily before that happens. Kenny on the other hand exceeds Byakuya's strength, but Byakuya's zapakuto mastery post royal realm training is easily a century ahead of Zaraki if not more and Byakyua's skills in hoho and kido while considering he's still not utterly eclipsed by Kenny's spiritual pressure gives him an edge that I think would end up being more or less insurmountable. Kenny has a realistic win condition at least, and it's tagging Byakuya with Nozarashi or immediately popping bankai early while Byakyua isn't expecting that kind of pressure. Yoruichi on the other hand is faster than Byakuya. That's it. That's her edge. Without support from Urahara, I think she loses 10/10 times because she doesn't have a win condition. The most I'll admit is that she can keep up with Byakuya.
I’m an Unohana stan, so my comment is definitely something that should be taken with a grain of salt. Plus, it’s fiction and we all deserve to have fun! I think she should be rated higher because she was the only captain who could sense Aizen’s treachery at the beginning and he acknowledged that. She also KO’ed Zaraki over and over again until she felt he was ready to take her title as Kenpachi.
@BlackHenbane wisdom=/= battle performance. Shinjis hollowfied cero couldn't even one shot a base one armed injured grimmjow. His pure intellect of explaining his abilities all the time don't help hos broken abilities either.
People there think the only raw power is Enough!! Urahara is second to none in strategy and planning and he is a hell of a fighter too. His ranking is justified
1) Aizen No competition there 2) Yamamoto I don't think there's a single feat that Zaraki has done that Yamamoto could not do and we've only been exposed to old Yamamoto. In his younger years he almost killed Ywach. 3) Zaraki Even though i have him weaker than Yama, its only by a hair. 4) Urahara I'm basing it on how they fared against Aizen. Shinsui barely did anything against base Aizen while Urahara fought a much stronger version of Aizen and held up much better. Also a bankai vs bankai battle between the two i have Benihime coming out on top 5) Shinsui I actually wished he was stronger in the final arc. But for the reason stated above i cant place him higher than Urahara. Thats my top 5. I honestly think Isshin is stronger than both Urahara and Shinsui but we dont see enough of him to really warrant that especially without seeing his Bankai. But using Aizen as a measurement, I'd argue he performed better than both Urahara and Shinsui.
you are right.i don't know why people say shunsui is stronger than urahara. base aizen one shotted shunsui and urahara would have killed aizen twice if not for hogyoku

That's the best ranking i ever seen it's crazy how people replace unohana after tushiro or mayuri i know his adult form mad strong but not that powerfull to take unohana
@@ZiickTml The issue with Mayuri is that by the end of the series he's more or less a walking bullshit machine, and no matter how ridiculous the explanation Mr. Kubo will more or less find some way to write him defeating whomever he's up against. As for Toshiro, while his adult form is very powerful, it also needs to be considered that it takes a considerable amount of time for him to reach that state, and even then his all-freezing ice is still clearly shown to have limitations (as Gerard broke free of it even through his entire body had been frozen), so much like any other hax ability it still seems to be limited by his & his opponent's respective Reiatsu. Shunsui did state that in 100 years Toshiro would probably surpass him though, which I see as foreshadowing of Toshiro's adult form as that is what his "base" likely will be by then, instead of his Bankai prematurely forcing him into that state.
the vizards were done dirty especially in the tybw arc, lisa should have had more screentime as well to make it more believable for her to be promoted to captain like if she released a bankai against one of the quincies maybe
Urahara beat Aizen through his “unknown means” - the same reason he was considered a war potential by Ywach. So it stands to say he’s more dangerous than Aizen.
I love that you tackled this list the way you did. I disagree with some of the placements, but I’m really happy with some others. I think the list is spot on until Unohana. I think you underrate Unohana and Ukitake tremendously, while I think you overrate Hitsugaya and Shunsui in equal measure. Unohana is second only to Yamamoto throughout the entire story until her death. That’s including pre-Hogyoku Aizen. Ukitake is absolutely on par with Shunsui. It is true that what we see of Ukitake is disappointing, but the narrative makes it clear that Ukitake is extremely powerful. His swordsmanship is likened to art and his ability to negate attacks with his shikai is very potent in a world filled with powerful abilities. There’s also the distinct possibility that the presence of Mimihagi within him affords him power in a way few others could have. That’s just a theory but I think that it’s worth considering. Hitsugaya’s adult form bankai is absurdly powerful but it has a lot of caveats to it that hold it back. Most of all, it can be entirely negated by there presence of a powerful flame zanpakuto like Ryujin Jakka. It is also restricted to the prerequisite time limit for his immature bankai to tick down to the upgraded form. It’s just not enough to make up for the limitations unless others can buy him time. Shunsui is just tremendously overrated by the fandom. He is very powerful but his bankai, in particular, is just not that useful. It’s dangerous to his allies and it’s dangerous to himself. If he enters Act 3 - Dangyo’s Abyss - against an enemy that can outlast his reiatsu, he’s finished. It doesn’t matter if he’s a better fighter or more tactical or anything else. His bankai can work against him in a way that nobody else’s does. Lastly - Aizen needs to be considered with and without the Hogyoku. It stands to reason that ANY Shinigami with enough willpower could become the most powerful if they have the Hogyoku. It’s just disingenuous to assume the Hogyoku IS Aizen. It isn’t. And, with that in mind… pre-Hogyoku Aizen is just an above-average Shinigami. He used his shikai to manipulate the other Shinigami into perceiving him as more powerful than he was, which was pretty much told to us when Isane and Unohana confronted him in Central 46. He relies more on his cunning and deception as a Shinigami than he does as an ascended being with the Hogyoku. And that’s because he knows that he doesn’t have the requisite strength to overcome other more powerful captains at the time - such as Unohana, Yamamoto, Shunsui, Ukitake, Isshin, and possibly even some others. Aizen AFTER merging with the Hogyoku is undoubtedly the strongest Shinigami captain alive or possibly ever, and it’s not even a discussion. I would make the top 10: Yamamoto Kenny (unsealed) Unohana Urahara Isshin Shunsui Ukitake Aizen (pre Hogyoku) Gin Yoruichi
I agree with Ukitake. By far his most underrated fight was Pernida. The dude fought and survived a 1v1 with a Schutzstaffel. He wasn't even critically wounded. Not to mention his fight with Yamamoto in the SS arc. People like to say Yamamoto was holding back, but he does say that Ukitake and Shunsui weren't getting away with a mere thrashing, so even if he wasn't going all out, he wasn't playing around either. Toshiro's immature Bankai can't work with Yamamoto's Bankai. His mature form, however, is no longer limited to merely controlling and freezing the moisture in the air. Base Aizen is NOT mid-tier. This was a key plot point in his fight with the Captains. He casually blitzed Shunsui, Soi-Fon, Shinji, and Toshiro simultaneously and dismissed ALL of them as weak and how they were nothing but openings. And this was AFTER he undid Kyoka Suigetsu. Gin even has a whole monologue about how monstrous his power is and that thinking Kyoka Suigetsu was the only thing that made him frightening was a gross misunderstanding of his strength. Just flexing his reiatsu a bit was able to force Grimmjow to his knees and then of course there's him tanking Hado 96 from Yamamoto head on and barely getting singed. All BEFORE the Hogyoku began to awaken. "I can feel it. My powers, which were already unparalleled within the Soul Society, are beginning to reach even greater heights.
How would you personally rank the different Gotei 13 captains in BLEACH?
I'm sorry but Kensei should only be above Iba, Isani, and maybe Lisa. His fighting style and his appearance character design wise is cool but the dude sucks he's not fast like the second squad captain so there's no way he is beating her he doesn't have the best techniques or anything to compensate for his super close range fighting style which is why every battle we have seen him in he has lost and didn't even put up a good showing for someone of his caliber being a captain Soi Fong being able to keep up with and put up a decent fight against the former second division captain I don't know how to spell her name is a better showing than anything he has ever done not to mention him fighting against the second espada would have been way worse and more humiliating than Soi Fong .
The Original Gotei 13 Captains, other past captains, ZSquad Zero and the normal captains in Bleach Anime before TYBW are the strongest ones and in TYBW Vaizards they are stong of corse, but the weakest captains in my opinion. Would you make a tier-list video about of Bleach Liutnentas Ranked weakest to strongest next pls? 😊❤
So I love your videos but I'm going to disagree with you greatly on this list You mentioned a bunch of weaknesses and drawbacks of several characters like shinji and how his Bankai works, The former kenpachi with his 6-month cooling period as well as Rose being his own worst enemy by being dramatic yet you put Toshio over Byakuya and Yuroichi? You are aware that in order for him to use his full power and his matured Bankai he needs to be completely exhausted right? That is probably the biggest drawback on this list because as powerful as they are he would never make it to being exhausted they would defeat him long before he got to use his mature bun guy especially Byakuya who now knows how it works after seeing it in the final arc additionally they are way more skilled and experienced than he is overall this list is okay but there are several defects some characters you gave more leeway while some you kind of piled on with the reasons as to why they are ranked low without doing the same thing for others.
Additionally if we are to take the second squad captain who was able to almost keep up in speed with the previous second squad captain during the soul society arc we can say that the current 2nd division captain is much faster than the 10th division captain that being said what are the chances of him surviving fighting her with His Bankai vs her Shiki and flash cry? They have comparable spiritual pressure there will be no way he would ever make it to his mature Bankai fighting against her he would lose.
@@SasukeY2JItachi even without his adult form he was able to fight gerard and freeze him somewhat, he also no diffed cang du with bankai so he would survive long enough to go into adult form and would then freeze byakuya and kill him
Unohana was robbed of her spotlight. i really hate how she was largely used as a plot device for zaraki's sake
She was fridged to give him a power up. It's lazy writing.
@@WUZLE She deserved better, I hope at least she gets resurrected at some point
Unohana was quite literally a weaker Kenpachi who could only heal as her only other skill. She was the only one who could bring out Kenpachis true strength without him AND her dying until it was done. She fulfilled her role.
The only loss is having someone there who could heal more soldiers. But otherwise the fighting strength would have just been weaker.
@@lillith7257 That's a lot of words to say "We wrote this so we could fridge a woman character to motivate/buff a male one." This is a particularly bad example of fridging since she didn't get to fight a single bad guy before it happened.

Yes Aizen, Gin, Tousen and Unohana are the strongest ones defienitily Aizen and Gin the most!
@@Leopez02 Aizen and Gin were amongst the most talented. The line up with two-arms Yamamoto, Mayuri, Zaraki, Shunsui, ect. Seems to be the most potent.

@@panthekirb7561 it's sad what happened to Tousen and Gin
Isane should honestly be higher than Iba; Iba himself stated he wasn’t captain material while Isane performed her divisions specialty in healing especially in TYBW taking command after Unohana’s death and keep Kensei/Rose alive and some other healing demonstrations; we recently got confirmation of Isane’s Shikai “Itegumo” to be an ice/snow type zanpakutō with a healing ability while we know nothing about Iba’s shikai; also it was stated that Iba couldn’t become the lieutenant of squad 11 and so he changed squads to squad 7 and he had a draw with Ikkaku who lost to a significantly weaker Ichigo; Isane got one shot by Ichigo; however, Ichigo was strong enough to destroy Getsuburi and also one shot Sasakibe who was stated to have been captain level already; either ways both don’t have any battle contribution but Isane has just demonstrated more than him
Yeah, Iba said that, but he's also very hard on himself, so it's difficult to say if that's true or not.
Chojiro was never Captain level. His Bankai was what was special and gave him the capacity to step up and become a Captain if he wanted, but he obviously never did. Chojiro is like Arrancar Arc Renji in that he's Vice-Captain level but with 2,000 years to perfect said Bankai.
Why getting a draw agasint ikkaku would be an antifeat tho? If anything it proves hes better. Wasnt ikkaku literally captain level? He was being considered to substitute and had a Bankai before any of them. And ikkaku also complimented him saying he was versatile knew a bunch of abilties etc
She would lose a 1v1 versus him
@@oilalalabla9211 i mean it would just prove their base captain level and not much else. Ikkaku's bankai is literally the worst in the entire series. it's pure power with no other skills. it's power isn't even Espada level.
@@lillith7257 but the bottom 2 have zero feats so being base captain level is better than nothing
I don’t think people realize how impressive yorouichi, Ishin and Urahara are. While Kyoraku got speed blitzed by base Aizen, an evolved Aizen admitted that the three of them would have beat him with their combined attack if he wasn’t fused with the hogyoku.
urahara alone would have killed aizen twice if not for hogyoku
Aizen wasn't actually trying as he wanted to test how hogyoku would react on him getting hurt, the moment he got serious he oneshoted all 3 of them lmfao
He didn't even used kyoka suigetsu
@_Ghost_HD_ thats because aizen thought that urahara already might have counter for kyoka suigetsu so it would be pointless to use kyoka against him.
and urahara knew weakness of ks that it will not affect you if you dont see his shikai release
What you don’t realize is that Shunsui got defeated easy because Aizen used Kyoka Suigetsu against him, and you are also forgetting Shunsui was already drained and hurt from his fight with Starrk, the Primera Espada, and he also couldn’t use his Bankai in there.
Had Aizen used Kyoka Suigetsu against Yoruichi or Isshin they would’ve been blitzed same as others, he didn’t use it against them for two reasons that were already mentioned by others in here: (1) he was testing his early Hyogoku powers and (2) Kisuke could’ve prepared a counter against it.
Your analysis is flawed in gauging the accurate character’s strength because it were two completely different scenarios, and you also omitted some facts in there.
When you really think about it, theres so many details Kubo wasn't able to include. Thats incredibly depressing
Not a surprise, kubo terrible writer. So many plot holes and inconsistencies
@doriyahh fix your grammar first before coming on the Internet.
@@_.Jenstu it's the internet who gives a fuck because I sure don't. Do you?
Nah putting soifon below love and kensei is insane I have her above all the vizards actually… and byakuya has always been portrayed to be relative with kenpachi having him lower than ukitake and gin is wild… and finally youruichi isshin and Urahara are like the sannin of bleach and are all relative. They were all able to damage Aizen in base. If anything isshin is laking as he never went up against anyone in tybw (except white… but like…)
Soifon definitely deserves to be above at least all the visord captains( beyond Shinji). Her strength often gets overlooked due to constantly being matched up against people who counter her abilities perfectly but realistically that just goes to show how lethal her arsenal is, she could've killed Barragan with her Bankai if he didn't age it in time, she could've killed BG9 with her shikai and Shunko if he wasn't made of steel and she was pretty much on par with a SS arc Yoruichi before they whipped out their trumps. Soifon is lethal and I see her as a bigger threat than the likes of Kensei and Love with the majority of opponents( Rose is more debateable seeing as his bankai is just that good).
Soi-Fon could have obliterated BG9 with just Shunko but only if she had let BG9 kill Omeada and his sister. If she'd gone for the head rather than catch all those bullets and then destroy his gun, BG9 would have died then and there.
Ironically, she got messed up so bad because she ignored the code of the Stealth Force and saved her subordinate rather than use that opening to eliminate the enemy
@@corruptangel6793I’m a huge Soi Fon fan, but it’s debatable if she could one shot BG9 if she went for the head. He’s a robot after all and was able to move around with a massive hole in his chest and head. So even if she was able to rip his head off or twist it 180 degrees, he might just be able to survive it regardless. The 180 head twist I’m almost certain.
Ripping the head off is another questionable thing. He was able to take a direct punch to the face with no visible damage. Even if she could, it wouldn’t surprise me if he just picked it up off the ground with his probes and reattach it somehow.
Soifon above Shinji is wild. I am a Shinji stan for a reason.
Soifon couldn't do a single thing alone. Shinji could've taken out Grimmjow, who's a rank 6 espada. Grimmjow was struggling with masked Shinji. Sure, he hadn't activated his Resureccion but Shinji hadn't even activated Shikai, let alone Bankai if he needed to fight multiple arrancar alone. Shinji could theoretically fight all 10 espada at once or at least the top 3 since Stark would slaughter the other two under Shinji's Bankai. Shinji has only lost to Shikai Aizen and bambietta due to it being a bad matchup and Shinji unable to use Bankai around other Shinigami AND not using a mask. I don't see how soifon could compete aside from her speed which becomes useless under his Shikai
@@jackinthecube I said "beyond Shinji", meaning every Visord except him 😅

It doesn't make any sense to rank Ukitake above Byakuya. His sickness is who he is. Since the beginning of the main story. He should be near the bottom.
Yh he doesn't get his spotlight but i would bet my money on ukitake being stronger. Byakya's cards have been layed on the table from near the beginning, ukitake's bankai is still an mystery. His shikai is also one of the most intersting types, as seen with hims battle against stark. I would say that he is better, just that he is ill so he can't show it much. Also he was trained with shunshui, they must be near about equalish in strength imo since they go hand in hand and have compatibility with one another. Also he is the only other duel bladed zanpakto, he's definately a rare one and has a lot of potential, especially with the way he 'died'
@mikhilpatel8680 should we not rank him on how he consistently/normally performs?
Even when he is prepared for battle, he fails badly. Literally, nothing else matters. He is not strong for a captain.
Byakuya should be higher but Ukitake is very powerful according to yama
@distanthope9153 I understand that Ukitake would be top 10 if he wasn't sick, but unfortunately, he is sick. And it's not a temporary de-buff. It's part of his character. So, unfortunately, he is weak for a captain. Legitimately, everyone reacted to Wonderweiss's speed except a battle-ready Ukitake.
@@kagelynx Byakuya reached those levels post RG. And CYFOW supports this. He is comparable to Shunsui and Yoruichi which makes him around the same tier as the Older Captains .

@@Blackmustache870 power and skills should also be a factor. We haven't seen any leadership from byakuya at all, but we know he arguably the most skilled captain when it comes to kido. Also, he is the most skilled captain when it comes to flash step after soi fon

@@casinojay9540 that was over a year ago. Everyone had 17+ months worth of training since then and byakuya trained with squad 0. Heck renji with shikai alone is already stronger than bankai kensei and we all know byakuya is still stronger than renji
My favorite Bleach content creators in no specific ranking order...DBZimran, Aizen's World and Mr.Tommo.👍👍
I'm sure that with a little more tutoring and training by Yoruichi, Soifon may be able to shine in the future. Yoruichi will also teach Soifon more humility and patience, she's already made strides to disarm the extremely cruel and dehumanizing effects of Squad 2 training to moderate her personality.
I hate how Kubo treat Soifon. She has pretty badass shikai ability. But Kubo using Aizen make her ability obsolete.
She at first admitted that she doesn't like her bankai, because it's not fit to her style of fight, and then she keeps spamming bankai after that like she is Hitsugaya lol. She should fight more like her mentor and using her strength.
I disagree. Her Bankai fits her perfectly. Consider this, Soifon has a two hit kill technique and as far as I remember has never cast a bakudo to take advantage of this. Instead she increases her speed so she can hit you twice in the same spot. Part of that is because if her infatuation? with Yoruichi but the rest is an ego thing. Her having a loud, destructive Bankai simply reveals her true nature.
I respect the list but without much bias, i think Byakuya should be either right below or in Toushirou's spot theres a reason he's in line to be the next head captain and while his manga showings have him needing help with the strongest of enemies, hes probably one of the only captains in or rather should be in top 10 that doesnt have a single thing in the line of being over powered, hes skill incarnate, no hacks or broken abilities in the slightest and can more than hold his own.

Exactly. Byakuya at the beginning of the hell arc is one of the most powerful beings in the bleach universe
Byakuya is literally him, the only living captains giving a run for his money are Kyoraku and Zaraki. He would have a very evenly matched fight against Kyoraku until he starts fighting dirty which unlike Byakuya he has no qualms about doing and that would secure him the victory... Zaraki simply overpowers him after a prolonged struggle unless Byakuya can survive long enough for his own bankai to turn against him. Outside of those two, every other captain including Toshiro simply gets out-skilled, out-sped, or out-smarted

She was able to hold her own against Baraggan despite having a disadvantage, Baraggan being able to slow things down that get near him and make them age, putting Soi Fon at the disadvantage in the fight especially considering that she's a close ranged fighter, and making her shikai useless against Baraggan. She was able to damage Baraggan with her bankai while having some help in the fight with Hachigen (forcing Baraggan to take her bankai head on)
She gets another unfair fight against BG9, BG9 being able to get tagged from her shikai without actually getting affected by it. I believe Soi Fon did speedblitz BG9 during the second fight, but he's just too durable
Beautifully said. Soi Fon gets a bad rep and it’s honestly annoying that everyone seems to be unable to actually look at her fights and see just how much Kubo stacked the odds against her practically handicapping her abilities.
She never cast bakudo despite having a two hit kill technique.
I would switch Yamaji and Kenpachi
Yamamoto is an overrated character
@@Dante49218underrated by most
I do think so. In my opinion Shikai Zaraki can be above shikai yama, as I see Yama having no way to deal with Gremmy's meteor in shikai. His bankai on the other hand is a different game altogether, ZnT might be the biggest boost in stats or capabilities among any other bankai. I don't see zaraki's nameless bankai no-selling or getting through all the flames.
@@johanmelis12 We have different concepts underestimating Zaraki's powers already has a lot of reatsu In the bank, he has even more And no matter how strong Yamamoto is, he is not at Zaraki's level
@@presixnine In my head I always put Zaraki in the same tier as Yama, where either of them could win, it would only depend on who swings his sword first. In terms of brute strengh and reiatsu I see Zaraki having the upperhand, but Yama could probably still incinerate him with his bankai, although I don't know what to think if they clashed swords. Like, who wins between a sword that cuts through anything and another that erases anything ?
Isane shikai is a snow and healing type answered by kubo in his club outside
Bro youre so wrong about Byakuya. Very bad reasoning.

Bro stop hate the fuck video was one hour long
A ranking of "all" captains (some like Ginrei left out for obvious reasons) is interesting, although I disagree on some things, like Gin and Toshiro in the top10, as well as some placements below, also it would make more sense for characters like Tosen and Gin to consider them only when they were captains. The strongest 5 are that, but I would list them in different order 👺🌸🍭👓🔥
The reason the visards dont use bankai and hollow mask together was explained. It outs too much strain on the user, and makes it almost impossible to not lose control of the hollow
explained where?
@DiamonDust in the anime during the visard training
@@Skillissue3993 Chapter, page? episode, timestamp? This was never said, it else everyone would be talking about it especially scalers.
Kuruyashikis 6 month cooldown period post-Bankai reminds of Shisui Uchiha from Naruto and his 10 year cooldown between uses of Kotoamatsukami. Kubo and Kishi knew they had to put some kind of shackles on abilities that busted lol
Byakuya in the context of the story is clearly meant to be a close competitor of Kenny and Toshiro in the final showdown with Gerard, just like when the 2 faced Espada 0. He experienced similiar training to the others and was a way higher base then Rukia and Renji before squad zero training. This just isn't a take that is likely true within the story imo too big a gap between elite next gen captains at a time when everyone had gotten a neat vague power up.
Bro did Byakuya Dirty 😂
Best ranking I've ever seen
The reason a lot of visored's didn't use their mask when in bankai is due to them losing control of themselves if they do. I believe it was explained as well when ichigo stopped doing it down the line as well, might be wrong though but its what I remember reading about
Ichigo is the only one who can use both of them are the same time because zangetsu is his hollow and his hollows name
For most of the visored, I feel the concern is the inner hollow overtaking their zanpakuto.(though this theory was derived back before the reveal about White for Ichigo.) For Ichigo, there isn't the same concern because his zanpakuto derives from the inner hollow.
Soi Fon is criminally underrated. Now I don't know her ranking by the end of the series cos power levels sort of get fucked up during the TYBW arc, but let's say among the original Gotei 13 in the SS arc I would easily put her on the same level as Ichimaru and Byakuya, i.e. mid-tier. Shunpo, hakuda, two-shot kill Shikai, super destructive Bankai, and then Shunpo. Like, how can you even put her at 23??? She even held her own against opponents like Yoruichi and Baraggan.
And she fought against Yoruichi in SS arc. I think she is above Kensei and Rose at the very least
Exactly. And to make it even better, she can actually combo 3 of those using them at the same time. She can simultaneously use her shikai and Shunko at the same time. Her shunpo technique such as cloning and the multiple other can also be used. Imagine 15 Shunko+shikia Soi Fon coming at you from multiple angles. This is legitimately something she is capable of doing, but Kubo never let us see it because he puts her in the worst match ups.
finally someone who doesnt talk down Soi Fon, lets goo. my girl is very strong her Shikai is so strong she can kill you with 2 hits. she could kill many captains with that ability
She has a two hit kill technique and doesn't use bakudo.
"Gerard's power had been negated by Hitsugaya's ice"
What??? Hitsugaya nullifies abilities, hax, not power. Byakuya desintegrated Gerard's entire head while toshiro froze the body, and that was a vollstanding POST bankai zaraki gerard.
It was a team attack, why the f people give all the credit to hitsugaya? Lmfao
Furthermore he later even goes and casually blocks an attack from light form gerard, the dude is in that tier of power.
Really infuriating how much Byakuya is downplayed holy sh*t.
Byakuya snuck in and attacked an already weakened and immobile gerard. Believe it or not, being frozen to the core damages a lot more than just losing abilities.
Byakuya destroyed a frozen statue, not that big of a feat.
@@Blackmustache870 Reread. The entire head wasn't frozen AT ALL, let alone "to Its core".
@pepeelghetto1231 u reread. In one panel, we literally see the tattoos of gerard not frozen on his BODY. The next, his entire body was frozen, meaning during the timespan byakuya activated senkei and launched ikka senjinka, toshiro had the time to freeze the parts that weren't frozen prior. If the head was destroyed while not frozen, we would clearly see blood but that wasn't the case
Because he’s the one that contributed everything and without toshiro Gerald would still have his hoffnung 😭😭
@@pepeelghetto1231Gerald touched toshiro which made his get frozen and ur also ignoring the fact that Gerald is working overtime to break out of the ice that can literally freeze concepts 😭😭 that’s not just a regular ice
About of the history of Soul Society Gotei 13 i'm really interested and excited to see when Ichigo's dad Isshin, Urahara Kisuke and the Princess a black cat God of Thunder my all time favourite Bleach character Yoruichi Shihoin were Gotei 13 Squad Captains and about of the future of Gotei 13 captains I would LOVE to see Renji, Rukia, Hisagi, Ikkaku, Yumichika and even Yachiru as Gotei 13 captains! But because Isshin was the Gotei 13 captain with that reason could Ichigo never be a captain or will and he wan't to play as solo and with he's friends Chad, Orihime and Ishida always? These are things that is so interesting to think so i'm glad that you made this surprisilly LONG and AWESOME video about the Bleach Gotei 13 Captains Ranked to weakest to strongest that I can't rank captains because I like every Captains defienitily Yamamoto, Ukitake, Soi Fon, Komamura, Kyouraku, Kuroutsuchi, Unohana, Hitsugaya, Byakya, Zaraki, Aizen, Gin, every past captains defienitily Yoruichi and Urahara, new caprain Vizards like Shinsi and Kensei, but why every Vaizards aren't captains like Hyori and others? And I'll watch this video the whole day, but it's the BEST only because it's about Bleach the number one Anime BANKAI: Senbonzakura Kageyoshi! 🌸🗡🌸🗡🌸🗡
Having Kisuke over Shunsui is a win. You have my like.
It’s weird that the vizords never hollowfy in the TYBW arc even though hollows are like kryptonite to quincies
i think its because it is considered a "taboo" if they used hollow powers, under Yamamoto's regime before he died. However i think that Shunsui shouldve given the Vizored captains a go signal to hollowfy, since Shunsui is open to using underhanded methods during that war such as *freeing Aizen*
One of the best videos in the internet. Well done Mr.Imran!
It's intriguing to view Urahara's Shikai and Bankai As *Construction* and *Reconstruction*
🧢 Ranking
I'm pretty sure that Hiyori said that if a vizard used their mask and bankai at the same time the hollow in them might take control so it risky and its different from when ichigo uses it because his hollow is trying to protect him
I get this feeling that if Kubo continued the Hell Arc, we'll see Gin and Tousen again in hell too on the way to pacify Yama, Retsu and Jushiro.
I'am surprised that you don't add Squad 0 in this list
I haven't finished the video yet, but I wonder where would Shusuke Amanai would be in this ranking
I think Isane being a captain is mostly because she's the best healer who is alive right now, remember that her squad does not normally go into combat and is rescue focused
Lisa being bottom 3 is crazy.
I will say that at least surrounding the vizard and arrancar arc, it was stated that the vizards couldn’t operate with both their mask on and using bankai as it was too taxing, even keeping it on for too long was. Ichigo was solely unique in how long he was able to fight with his mask and in his bankai state (despite it not being his true bankai). May explain why they didn’t use it during the Quincy invasion 🤷♂️
I always tell people they underestimate my boi kisuke, the only reason he’s weaker than aizen is because he has a conscience.
you forgot to put my uncle Tsukushima captain of the now disbanded squad 14 he was not only a great man but even a candidate for head captain. He trained up some of the greats and was really a stand out guy
Without prep, urahara should be lower than shunsui. He doesnt have data on the captains beforehand like mayuri does, so his intelligence while strong, is severely limited. With prep, he should be higher than yama imo
This'll be fun
Its mentioned that combine a hollow mask with Bankai can make the Vaizard lose control of their hollow powers and go berserk. The only one that could control it was Ichigo
Also would not put Isshin above Mayuri or Toshiro. Should be issuing at 8, Mayuri at 7, Toshiro at 6
Azashiro above Byakuya and Yoruichi?? He's a pre muken zaraki victim lol, literally 0 schutzstaffel scaling.
4:10 I still don’t understand what the point of bringing this up is. Putting Isane this low because she has no combat feats while being the captain of a healing division. Why are basing her combat ability instead all the people she kept alive during the arc. Nobody is asking the 4th division to fight
So long as Sajin is near the bottom, i'm ok with this.
Zaraki above Yamamoto lmfaoooool
Yamamoto uses bankai and Zaraki turns to dust lmaooo
Zaraki was stated to be stronger than Yamamoto in CFYOW. End of the debate.

I love your list…
I would just flip Hitsugaya and Mayuri, Kyouraku and Urahara & Kenpachi and Aizen with Yamamoto
Aizen being number 1 as captain was all a part of his plan from the start ;)
funny how I was looking for this vid and boom it appears
Rose should honestly be at the bottom...these vizard guys are more senior than most of the current captains, have hollow power ups, and have been training since they got out of Sereitei but they were utterly useless on fights. Love and Lisa also took lead on containing hollowfied Kensei while Rose was errr....being Rose 😅
In defense of the Vizards its been said that using thier Hollow Masks and Bankai at the same time is too exhausting for them. In a war setting where its fight after fight, using the masks with bankai will just cause them to lose. Ichigo is the only exception to this for obvious reasons. As for why they didn't use shikai with hollow mask, my headcanon is that their bankai are strong than hollowfied shikai.
My problem with using the 1000 year war as a metric is that most sterns had very gimmicky powers. For example, Renji defeating mask felt very unearned after all mask did.
That seriously felt like Kubo overhyping renji’s new bankai. He did too much.
I cannot be the only one that is sick and tired of hearing the up-and-coming hell arc, the up-and-coming hell arc, the up-and-coming hell arc, the up-and-coming hell arc when there has literally been no verification whatsoever from Kubo or anyone in his camp about it!
Amazing video!! The only change i would make on the list is to place yamamoto above zaraki not just as the second most powerful shinigami captain but as a truncsendant being that ever lived purely out of experience and thousands of years of training plus the unreal destructive power of his zanpakuto compared to the most simple melee type of zaraki's. As for their reatsu level i would say they were pretty close but yamamoto has far superior reatsu control over zaraki due to his millennial experience...!
remember when Kensei Muguruma was teaching Hisagi bankai he told him central 46 banned them from using the hollow masks but since captain kurotsuchi evened the balance of the realms by killing 28000 rukongai citizens that there was no one in the rukongai to see why they went there to train
soi fon is better than kensei
yh, they're both jobbers though
39:54 - 39:58 if you arent your own editor they deserve a raise lmao
Byakuya is Disrespected in the Manga he's easily top 7 if only Kubo focus on him more in TYBW and CFYOW
NEED in all caps to see stuff from Iba and Isane
They've risen to the top without us really even seeing them fight at all 😭
Ishin fight with aizen at the beginning at least, didn't fight aizen to exhaustion.
It was clearly stated that Aizen was weakened and at his limit because he was literally transforming mid fight. And no, not at limit meaning fight at full strength.
What, I think, most forget by talking about this, is that every Captain has to be able to use Bankai. We dont even know about Iba and Isanes Shikai, so we cant realy Imagine what Bankais the have.
They don't, actually. You can become a Captain without Bankai so long as you're strong enough.
That's not true, the only time we ever hear of a captain without bankai it's Zaraki, the guy that's constantly treated as an anomaly and a freak of nature
If somehow either Isane, Iba or Lisa became captains without bankai that would imply they are disgustingly powerful without it
Even though Shinji's bankai seems "useless" unless alone against a large number of enemies, you forget that he can do pretty much the same thing with just his shikai, hollowfied and actually being serious, there's less to no chance most of the opponents would be able to even touch him, even in between ranked much above him. And you didn't even mention his greatest moment in "can't fear your own world" where he single handedly took on the massive amount of enemies (which btw could even reproduce hundreds in an instant) which most of the others would have simply die to exhaustion continuously being tremendously outnumbered.
Byakuya > Gin, Yoruichi, Unohana, Ukitake and Mayuri
Not Unohana
In CFYOW, Byakuya, Shunsui and Yoruichi are all around the same Reiatsu ballpark. Byakuya is that strong naturally while Toshiro needs to wait to even reach that form. He’s not lasting against Byakuya, Zaraki or Shunsui without it and even with it, it used up so much stamina that he needed Byakuya to finish Gerard who was unaffected by Toshiro’s abilities. Unohana even stated that Ichigo and Byakuya were Kenpachi’s true rivals. So post RG and CYFOW Byakuya along with Hell arc is above her.
Gin is at the bottom
@@rkvlegacy9206based.

im just sad that we couldnt see more gin development even though to be fair his story perfect and it was a great plot twist at the time .
Still i felt at the time than gin was insanely strong and on a duel one of the strongest also his bankaki had so much potential for future fights , it sucks we couldnt see more .
Remember kenpschi went toe to toe in speed with Hikone, who was using flash step, hirenkyaku, sonido and even light bring
Infact Kenpachi and Hikone moved so fast, Yoruichi and Byukuya seemed frozen
Hisagi described it as teleportational speed
The way that Kubo forgot about Visor and makes them as useless as ever in TYBW
Yes, gin is really really strong but people usually forget why gin was able to hurt Aizen and it's not only because he caught him by surprise but also because Aizen had lowered his rishi. Remember that at the point when he was fighting Ishin, yoruichi and urahara they stoped being able to feel his reiatsu but ichigos friends could when he got to karakura town
This list is crazy.... from top to bottom... crazy
Tousen that low? Wild.
Also, swap Isshin and Unohana as well as Kenpacho and Yamamoto.
If BBS's 10 yrs after rukia is to be taken as canon scaling/mastery for rukia than a argument should be made for various other characters that are on the list to give us some aditional knowledge of what they are capable ,Iba and Isane have been shown to use high level kido and komamura as well,him specificaly has a unit that uses a quite huge shakkaho and his kit also has other ones such as rikujokoro ... that doesent necesarily elevates or decreases positions but it is some aditional info on what they could do

So, Mayuri is like the batman of the Gotei 13 captains with prep time and contigency plans
Its pretty possible that all vizards dont use their bankai along their masks because the only one we've seen doing that is ichigo and it is due to its enormous amount of reiatsu, a resource the other vizards dont have, this would make sense since lisa and mashiro while training him were amazed about his capability to mantain both transformations along
Think the vizards issue with hollow using bankai is the focus they use and thought they went over it at some point and the fact it changes some bankai.
Having Kisuke above Shunsui is unbelievable
Right Shunsui would beat kenpachi imo as well

this video should be what YOU think the breket looks like
It should, because there's no definitive raking by kubo
TBH, recently I've come to think that these kinds of ranking videos don't work. I think within their specific Spirit Class, their ranks are interchangeable.
So, for example, anyone with a spirit class of 3 can beat anyone else in that class depending on prep, tactics, how their abilities match up, environment, mentality, and so on.
I'd be much more interested in your thoughts on who would be in which spirit class. Especially for characters like Unohana
The issue I have with your complaint about Rose is that him saying how his Bankai works is for us, the reader/viewer. All anime and manga do it, its so we know how it works.
alot of this is wrong, but kudos to you for doing all the research
Totaly agree with this rank. Cool video
Yoruichi over post TYBW Byakuya is an insane take as I think Byakuya would be able to defeat TYBW Kenny and Toshiro, both of which you have ranked higher.
Hitsugaya still needs to wait out the timer on his banaki to even play ball with the other two boys, and honestly, both incapacitate him handily before that happens. Kenny on the other hand exceeds Byakuya's strength, but Byakuya's zapakuto mastery post royal realm training is easily a century ahead of Zaraki if not more and Byakyua's skills in hoho and kido while considering he's still not utterly eclipsed by Kenny's spiritual pressure gives him an edge that I think would end up being more or less insurmountable.
Kenny has a realistic win condition at least, and it's tagging Byakuya with Nozarashi or immediately popping bankai early while Byakyua isn't expecting that kind of pressure.
Yoruichi on the other hand is faster than Byakuya. That's it. That's her edge. Without support from Urahara, I think she loses 10/10 times because she doesn't have a win condition. The most I'll admit is that she can keep up with Byakuya.
4:03 I think kubo confirmed the ice attribute of her zanpaktou, with healing attributes
mostly agree with your list but i just cannot comprehend Byakuya being that low.
he's definetly top 10. Plus i put Adult Toshiro above Mayuri.
I’m an Unohana stan, so my comment is definitely something that should be taken with a grain of salt. Plus, it’s fiction and we all deserve to have fun!
I think she should be rated higher because she was the only captain who could sense Aizen’s treachery at the beginning and he acknowledged that.
She also KO’ed Zaraki over and over again until she felt he was ready to take her title as Kenpachi.
Shinji also sensed Aizen's treachery. Should he be higher as well?
@@adaurysantos Probably?
Is there some reason he shouldn’t be?
@BlackHenbane wisdom=/= battle performance.
Shinjis hollowfied cero couldn't even one shot a base one armed injured grimmjow. His pure intellect of explaining his abilities all the time don't help hos broken abilities either.
People there think the only raw power is Enough!!
Urahara is second to none in strategy and planning and he is a hell of a fighter too.
His ranking is justified
1) Aizen
No competition there
2) Yamamoto
I don't think there's a single feat that Zaraki has done that Yamamoto could not do and we've only been exposed to old Yamamoto. In his younger years he almost killed Ywach.
3) Zaraki
Even though i have him weaker than Yama, its only by a hair.
4) Urahara
I'm basing it on how they fared against Aizen. Shinsui barely did anything against base Aizen while Urahara fought a much stronger version of Aizen and held up much better. Also a bankai vs bankai battle between the two i have Benihime coming out on top
5) Shinsui
I actually wished he was stronger in the final arc. But for the reason stated above i cant place him higher than Urahara.
Thats my top 5. I honestly think Isshin is stronger than both Urahara and Shinsui but we dont see enough of him to really warrant that especially without seeing his Bankai. But using Aizen as a measurement, I'd argue he performed better than both Urahara and Shinsui.

@@ZiickTml The issue with Mayuri is that by the end of the series he's more or less a walking bullshit machine, and no matter how ridiculous the explanation Mr. Kubo will more or less find some way to write him defeating whomever he's up against. As for Toshiro, while his adult form is very powerful, it also needs to be considered that it takes a considerable amount of time for him to reach that state, and even then his all-freezing ice is still clearly shown to have limitations (as Gerard broke free of it even through his entire body had been frozen), so much like any other hax ability it still seems to be limited by his & his opponent's respective Reiatsu. Shunsui did state that in 100 years Toshiro would probably surpass him though, which I see as foreshadowing of Toshiro's adult form as that is what his "base" likely will be by then, instead of his Bankai prematurely forcing him into that state.

Urahara beat Aizen through his “unknown means” - the same reason he was considered a war potential by Ywach. So it stands to say he’s more dangerous than Aizen.
"There isn't a lot of info for the vizards and their power" meanwhile at number 11
I love that you tackled this list the way you did. I disagree with some of the placements, but I’m really happy with some others.
I think the list is spot on until Unohana. I think you underrate Unohana and Ukitake tremendously, while I think you overrate Hitsugaya and Shunsui in equal measure.
Unohana is second only to Yamamoto throughout the entire story until her death. That’s including pre-Hogyoku Aizen.
Ukitake is absolutely on par with Shunsui. It is true that what we see of Ukitake is disappointing, but the narrative makes it clear that Ukitake is extremely powerful. His swordsmanship is likened to art and his ability to negate attacks with his shikai is very potent in a world filled with powerful abilities. There’s also the distinct possibility that the presence of Mimihagi within him affords him power in a way few others could have. That’s just a theory but I think that it’s worth considering.
Hitsugaya’s adult form bankai is absurdly powerful but it has a lot of caveats to it that hold it back. Most of all, it can be entirely negated by there presence of a powerful flame zanpakuto like Ryujin Jakka. It is also restricted to the prerequisite time limit for his immature bankai to tick down to the upgraded form. It’s just not enough to make up for the limitations unless others can buy him time.
Shunsui is just tremendously overrated by the fandom. He is very powerful but his bankai, in particular, is just not that useful. It’s dangerous to his allies and it’s dangerous to himself. If he enters Act 3 - Dangyo’s Abyss - against an enemy that can outlast his reiatsu, he’s finished. It doesn’t matter if he’s a better fighter or more tactical or anything else. His bankai can work against him in a way that nobody else’s does.
Lastly - Aizen needs to be considered with and without the Hogyoku. It stands to reason that ANY Shinigami with enough willpower could become the most powerful if they have the Hogyoku. It’s just disingenuous to assume the Hogyoku IS Aizen. It isn’t. And, with that in mind… pre-Hogyoku Aizen is just an above-average Shinigami. He used his shikai to manipulate the other Shinigami into perceiving him as more powerful than he was, which was pretty much told to us when Isane and Unohana confronted him in Central 46. He relies more on his cunning and deception as a Shinigami than he does as an ascended being with the Hogyoku. And that’s because he knows that he doesn’t have the requisite strength to overcome other more powerful captains at the time - such as Unohana, Yamamoto, Shunsui, Ukitake, Isshin, and possibly even some others.
Aizen AFTER merging with the Hogyoku is undoubtedly the strongest Shinigami captain alive or possibly ever, and it’s not even a discussion.
I would make the top 10:
Yamamoto
Kenny (unsealed)
Unohana
Urahara
Isshin
Shunsui
Ukitake
Aizen (pre Hogyoku)
Gin
Yoruichi
I agree with Ukitake. By far his most underrated fight was Pernida. The dude fought and survived a 1v1 with a Schutzstaffel. He wasn't even critically wounded. Not to mention his fight with Yamamoto in the SS arc. People like to say Yamamoto was holding back, but he does say that Ukitake and Shunsui weren't getting away with a mere thrashing, so even if he wasn't going all out, he wasn't playing around either.
Toshiro's immature Bankai can't work with Yamamoto's Bankai. His mature form, however, is no longer limited to merely controlling and freezing the moisture in the air.
Base Aizen is NOT mid-tier. This was a key plot point in his fight with the Captains. He casually blitzed Shunsui, Soi-Fon, Shinji, and Toshiro simultaneously and dismissed ALL of them as weak and how they were nothing but openings. And this was AFTER he undid Kyoka Suigetsu. Gin even has a whole monologue about how monstrous his power is and that thinking Kyoka Suigetsu was the only thing that made him frightening was a gross misunderstanding of his strength. Just flexing his reiatsu a bit was able to force Grimmjow to his knees and then of course there's him tanking Hado 96 from Yamamoto head on and barely getting singed. All BEFORE the Hogyoku began to awaken.
"I can feel it. My powers, which were already unparalleled within the Soul Society, are beginning to reach even greater heights.
