Easily. I argued this pint with NemeBro. Not only did it take her attack several more panels to travel to it's target, it took like 3 panels to expand whereas, it took Ulqs just one panel to expand to an energy blast at least 10 times the size of Soifon's. Soifon's was a city block sized blast: Ulq's was a significant portion of a very large city with a ceiling far higher than a sky scraper...and the blast was still much taller than Las Noches. That thing was huge. The ONLY attack larger tha Ulq's blast was Yamamoto's sword blowing up...and it's debatable whether his attack was significantly stronger than Ulq's blast BECAUSE Las Noches is many many times larger than Kakura Town.

I doubt it. Ulquiorra was way fast, like probably more than anyone else we've seen.
I agree. The only exception is probably 2nd Hollow Form Ichigo.

I do not disagree with any of that. Starrk was supposed to be really fast, but, those other two captains had no problem keeping up.

Indeed, I would have to say Soifon and Youruichi are still faster.
I mean, they don't show the raw power that most Bleach characters show, so they make it up with speed.

Well, he did have that retardedly-fast feat where he casually brought Orihime to Aizen. At least, it seemed retardedly fast.

Quite true, that's really high up there.
Yep.
Also, Q, looks like I was right with the whole shooting and speed part WRT Gin's bankai 😛.
He really is better off shooting it; Ichigo couldn't even see Gin's bankai retracting at first, & if the speed at which it extends is 500 times that...😐
Still, props to Ichigo for being very perceptive. Probably close to Uryuu or Starrk-level.

~ Kubo's a real piece of work. He goes from a moderate chapter to yet another (in my opinion) great chapter.
The whole Gin's Bankai speed thing was pretty cool I admit, not to mention, it was pretty badass of Gin to clap in the midst of a battle XD. He also manages to keep up with Bankai Ichigo with a short-ass sword.
Then we have Aizen and his amp to follow soon. Probably going to be a form-type we haven't seen or heard about before.
Finally, we have Isshin who seems to be a match for Aizen (w/o shikai most likely). Not to mention, he survived a point blank level 60 hado without a scratch.
The chapter was alright.
I liked the fact that Aizen was getting the beat down.
Also, it would seem that Aizen's sword is a non-issue, as of late.
One more thing, Demonic Phoenix, you shouldn't be surprised that Ichigo was able to figure that stuff out: the only person with grades higher than Ichigo's was Ishida...and Ichigo goofs off and messes around. IMO, that would make him smarter than Ishida.

Actually, along with Ishida, both Orihime and Chad had higher grades than Ichigo. He was ranked 23rd I believe, while they were 1st, 3rd & 11th respectively.
Also, before he became a shinigami, he didn't have much to do, so he'd pretty much study.
Besides, there are different types of intelligence. Ichigo's shown to be perceptive, but this one caught me as his best one.

Cool. Thanks. I was wrong. (Ms. Marvel, this is how you do it.)
I just looked it up, he was 23rd on a test at the end of a semester, not a rank in his class.
in all honesty, I was expecting Gin's bankai to be a bit more tricky, but his bankai is already tricky, fast and destructive enough as it is.
now as for Aizen, I have a feeling he's about to undergo a massive transformation and it won't be good for Isshin. but hopefully we'll all get to see Isshin use bankai.

Does she even read Bleach?
Ahh, I always assumed those were their ranks in class.

Conceded 🙂Interesting bankai. It's straitforward and tricky at the same time.
True. Good thing it has that extension speed factor. Rather deadly. Also, Gin states that his bankai isn't the longest sword, merely the fastest. Wonder which Zanpakutou is the longest.
