Is that you logic.
Same thing with hisagi your whole argument about him is based on purely speculation without any evidence. How can you say aizen didnt make findor number 6 because he was a fraccion and still say that findor is stronger than a captain. Thats literrally oxymornic logic that makes no sense.
How hard is it to get this?
Barragan WAS IN DENIAL. He knew deep-down that he could be killed, but his ego wouldn't let him admit it. It's exactly the same as all the times Vegeta said Goku was nothing to him, despite losing to him and being much weaker, dozens of times. His pride wouldn't let him accept it, just like Barragan's wouldn't.
I don't know if "that is me logic", because that doesn't make any sense.
No evidence? My evidence was the sole fact that a captain using bankai with 33% of his power was casually beaten by a weak arrancar, and that Hisagi casually beat a Fraccione that stated to be equal to captain strength. What you're forgetting is that he didn't engage in hyperbole because he gave an accurate description of his power. Again though, there is a MASSIVE difference from the captains that were weaker than Arrancar's and SS arc Shikai Ichigo, and the captains that handily fought and defeated high ranking espada. They got vastly stronger, so it makes sense that Vice captains became stronger than captains used to be.
Also, in that case, why weren't Renji, Yumichika, Ikkaku and Yachiru made into captains, when all four were demonstrably much stronger than captains at that point? Simply because they weren't. It has nothing to do with how strong they are. I mean look at Naruto, he's a gennin and he's still able to casually bat away kage+ level ninja like they're nothing.
