Proper Ranking of the Espada

Started by Q992 pages

Indeed. She's more of a ? than a low rank- I'm pretty sure that imprisonment would work on Grimmjow, Nnoitra, and Ulquiorra too (or at the very least, Ulq's first release), but probably not the top two, and we didn't see her offense for squat.

1.Barragan -because of his appearance but i think stark could beat him
2.Stark
3.Ulquiorra
4.Yammy-hes huge
5.Hallibel- she was stomping toshiro itz just that toshiro used her ability against her
6.noitora-because i think he can beat grimmjow....speed is nothing when it comes to sheer physical strength
7.grimmjow
8.szayel
9.arroniero
10.zommari

Personally, my list would be:

1/2- Barragan and Starrk, I have problems placing both of them, so they are more or less equal to me. Anyway, I think Starrk sometimes is underated because the way he died (lame...)

3- Ulquiorra, this guy was a beast, he deserved to be more then just 4, in fact I think his second release would put him as high as Barragan and Starrk, if not higher.

4- Grimmjow, what can I say? I really liked the guy and I still hope he is still alive. Besides he really looked stronger and more versatile then most espada, without counting the big 3 of course (Starrk, Barragan and Ulquiorra).

About the rest, I guess it would be something like:

5- Harribel
6- Yammy
7- Nnoitra
8- Szayel
9- Aaronario
10- Zommari

What really pisses me off is Zommari SHOULD be #1; if used logically, his Amor is way more abusable than even Barragan's Respira.

Ulquiorra's strongest form could easily be at the top, may even be above Yammy.

Why doesn't anybody like Aaroniero? I thought his ability was pretty cool even though he never got a chance to properly use it. Ulquiorra pretty much made the top 3 in general a disappointment and even thought I'd set him high in the rankings, its still makes me mad how Yammy insulted Grimmjow and the like while he was getting cut up.

Zommari just tried to do what Shinji did but died because he was a villian(his release form still looks silly).

I think that part of the reason Ulquiorra's ranking is so odd is because nobody knew about his second release. So he was ranked only according to his first release (which still would put him above Harribel imo).

He's one of my favorite Espada. But Aaroniero's biggest combat power was that of an exceptional lieutenant. He may have a ton of hollows eaten, but most of them are puny grunt hollows, with probably a good share of exceptional normal hollows, and any other Gillians mostly counting for their number.

In raw reiatsu, Grimmjow seemed to have a metric ton more.

Who cares about Luppi...He(she) sucks! Most people give Halibel more credit that she deserves is because they hate Toshiro's guts; why is that brat still alive? You also have to give Halibel some credit due to her nearly killing Toshiro with one blow: stupid ice clone. However if Halibel were truly #3 material, she should've killed Toshiro without even releasing but hey...fanservice talks.

Stark was also cheated(or just misplaced in the ranking) out of his potential too. I wonder why Neliel doesn't get any love, she didn't suck that bad did she?

Indeed.

Grimmjow's reiatsu is so great that it even shocked Ichigo when Grimmjow howled, sending a shockwave to him.

Not at all, she's fairly badass.

I wouldn't be surprised if she could beat Nnoitra's release state- his seemed to offer one of the smallest boosts. More arms and blades, but his toughness didn't really improve, and she was really kicking around his normal form.

At the least she's really close to him.

His weakness is easier to spot than Barragan's if you ask me. In terms of Raw power, Barragan trumps him silly, though if those two were to fight, depends on whether or not Zommari would be fast enough to take control of Barragan. CIS accounted for, Zommari has no chance due to the idiocy he displayed against Byakuya.

Yeah its him being completely retarded that makes him suck so much... since his Amor taking control of someone's head gives him the whole body, I don't know why he would ever want to take control of something BESIDES the head...

If you can blast him, he's pretty fragile it seemed. And he can only do the eye thing when released, which kills his mobility.

I'd say Luppi has good odds against him- block with 1, 2, or 3 arms, clobber him with the rest.

Harribel can do akin to what Byakuya did, make a wall of water so he can't eye-zap her. Some of 'em might win through simple quickdraw. Anything but a headshot and all the espada can do one-handed Cero, so anyone who has a cero Zom can't tank, is out.

I agree, but that's with the benefit of knowing his power's abilities. BTW, as long as he can see through the water to her I think it still works (since her water-wall isn't an anti-kido).

imo i think starrk can beat barry cuz he too fast and also i dont think barry could age ceros and then theirs his wolves that are his soul and are intangible....and besides it took 2 vizard captains and 2 top tier captains to take him down

why wouldnt barragan be able to age ceroes? he can age kidou, which is fundamentally the same thing.

but what about his wolves that are part of his souls and ceros arent magic like kido so its completely different
