Or, pfft, Barragan? The Espada that would make for a terrific main antagonist?But no....Harribel. The girl Hitsugaya beat up. **** Bleach.
Note: Shouldn't they want to kill all the Espada? Since they're souls and need to be purified and all that jazz?
Harribel is actually one of the more sympathetic Espada, she legitimately cares for her Fraccion as though they were family, and protected them when they were Hollows.
Starrk died IMO to demonstrate how ruthless and cut-throat Shunsui, despite his goofy demeanor, can really be (In fact, he's arguably worse than Starrk morally).
Barragan... Yeah, I'm incredibly biased for him, so I'd prefer him being the main antagonist, especially when compared to ballsack like Aizen.
