Yoruichi-while probably up there, not enough known about her.
Urahara-same as Youichi, but I'm guessing he's more powerful than we think.
Unohana-same as above

Any others I left off are about the same s the last few names on the list.

Wonderwiess? lolno.

0. Urahara (with Prep) awesome
1. Ichigo (post Jinzen)
2. Aizen (Hogyoku transformations)
3. Yamamoto
4. Ulquiorra (Segunda Etapa)
5. Starrk
6. Shunsui
7. Baraggan
8. Tousen (Resurrección & Vizard forms)
9. Harribel
10. Isshin
11. Gin
12. Yoruichi
13. Shinji
14. Wonderweiss
15. Nnoitra
16. Grimmjow
17. Soi-Fon
18. Byakuya
19. Jūshirō Ukitake (due to his illness and shitty stamina levels)

Unsure on Wonderweiss' placement. He was in all likelihood, a Vasto Lorde before becoming an Arrancar, and they are more powerful than the average captain. He was also fast enough to blitz Jushiro, and he broke Hitsugaya's Ice construct just by screaming. 😐

Ryuken's an unknown, but I think he could be very powerful.
Unohana has no combat feats to speak of, but she can scare the shit out of anyone.

I personally place Starrk above Shunsui due to the former's ability to create incorporeal constructs that are more powerful than a Cero, and the ability to fire off a thousand ceros at once. Of course, Shunsui still has Bankai.

We know more about Yoruichi and Urahara than Isshin though. :/

Vasto Lorde. Speedblitzed Jushiro. Used a scream to destroy Hitsugaya's most powerful Ice Construct.
And if you believe he fought Kensei & Mashiro, he beat them without much difficulty.

EDIT:

Isshin went toe-to-toe with an Aizen that owned most of the other Captains and Vizards, and this was after he had regained his powers after using FGT. 😬

Now that I think about it, I don't know why I put him at #10 when he should be much higher. The dude could use FGT, and his regular GT makes Bankai Ichigo's GT look like crap.

It's precisely due to the low number of feats he has, that I place him at #10. He should be more powerful than Starrk & Shunsui. Shunsui has hax on his side though.

And was having help from the other two I mentioned, who have more feats to their name.

Dun care.

Yeah, after Aizen transformed, at which point, a case can be made for him being >= Yamamoto.
Guess who went toe-to-toe with Aizen before the transformation, and who b****-slapped him through several buildings with one finger.

I edited again. 😛

Mashiro thoroughly dominated him without her zanpakuto while not even taking him seriously, then her mask timed out and he sucker punched her in the eye. Kensei then steps in and thoroughly dominates Wonderweiss until... what happened exactly after that is a mystery to me 'cause the shit just ended with no explanation. we're supposed to believe a captain got owned off panel/screen?

The only vizard captain* who showed anything in that fight was Shinji.

Rose, Love, and Kensei didn't do much at all.

*Hachigen being a non-captain.

Right, and despite them 'dominating' him, they barely hurt him.
He didn't have, or rather, couldn't have had help from anyone except Aizen, so yes, said captain got owned off-panel.
That, or Aizen saved him using his hypnosis, in which case, I could easily make the argument that the entire thing was hypnosis, seeing as Wonderweiss should be a lot more powerful than that fight made him out to be.

Not Urahara. He was too busy beating the shit out of him with Kido and being so much faster than Aizen. 😮

Si. Would not be the first time a Captain class fighter got pwned off camera.

Wonderweiss blitzed Ukitake, who is one of the stronger captains and was keeping up with Starrk. And he was commented on being Vasto level. He should by all rights be considered above Grimmjow if nothing else.

My list is very similar to DP's:

0. Urahara (with Prep)
1. Ichigo (post Jinzen)
2. Aizen (Hogyoku transformations)
3. Yamamoto
4. Ulquiorra (Segunda Etapa)
5. Isshin
6. Unohana
7. Shunsui
8. Starrk
9. Baraggan
10. Ukitake
11. Harribel
12. Shinji
13. Yoruichi
14. Gin
15. Kenpachi
16. Nnoitra
17. Grimmjow
18. Soi-Fon
19. Byakuya

Starrk pulled out his best with Shunsui still holding onto a "tech" that would supposedly increase his power by "10 times". That's a major power difference. No idea why Starrk was holding back.

And how could you guys forget Kenpachi? He's supposedly on par with Byakuya and he beat Nnoitra fair and square withOUT bankai. Imagine Kenpachi or Yamamoto with Bankai?

^ Yeah, your top 5 is nearly the same as my top 5, and I did not include Unohana as she's featless as far as Combat is concerned. Even though I placed Isshin at #10, I put him above Ulquiorra based on the fact that he was going toe-to-toe with pre-transformation Aizen, and in the past, he too had FGT, though it wouldn't be as powerful as Ichigo's was.

There were too many people around. What exactly his Bankai does is unknown, but given that Bankai is typically an expansion of the Shikai form, in all likelihood, it would increase Katen Kyokotsu's radius of effect, and nearly everyone on the battlefield would have to play by its rules. At least that is what I think.

Kenpachi's a one-trick pony. estahuh

In all seriousness, Urahara could beat anyone short of Hogyoku Aizen & Jinzen Ichigo with those Reiatsu-blockers of his. Even Yamamoto and H2 Ichigo would be destroyed by them, but whether Urahara could get them on those two is another matter.

Not only was he commented on being Espada Level by SS, but given his shape as a hollow, he was a Vasto Lorde before he became an Arrancar. Espada #1-3 were confirmed Vasto Lorde. So yeah.

Plus he was on his knees in front of Aizen, so is it any wonder that Aizen chose him? vin

Isshin has to be that high because he did go toe-2-toe with Aizen (and even had him significantly outclassed until Aizen transformed) and Aizen was supposedly better than any of the Espada.

Unohana gets her rank based on her stats AND the fact that Joshiro is supposed to fear Unohana's strength. She has the implied power that is second only to Yamamoto and Aizen. That's enough for me because all my evidence is "canon" and none of it conjecture.

We have no idea what his Bankai would be. Look at Ichigo's: it is the exact opposite in form to his shikai. It is also in no way related to his shikai form. So Ichigo is an exception.

There's no reason to assume on what exactly his Bankai would be. Look at Soi Fon's: the exact opposite of what her Shikai is: loud, big, cumbersome, and has a very larger explosion and destruct radius.

There's just no way to be sure. Sure, you may think of many examples of expanding bankais (Renji, Byakuya, Toshiro, Fox Face, Gin, and Ikkaku off the top of my head) but I don't think we can conclude on the nature of Ukitake's or Shunsui's bankais, just yet. Not even Yamamoto's but most likely Yamamoto's is just more FARS and SPLOSIONS!

Yep. In the past, he also had access to FGT.

Not only do I take databook stats with a grain of salt, but they are now outdated.
Yeah, Shunsui is scared of her, but then again, Unohana can scare the shit out of anyone even while smiling at them. Ergo, I think she could be anywhere between Yamamoto and Gin.

Only Soi-Fon's is a complete turn around from her Shikai, but it is still an expansion. Ichigo's Bankai on the other hand isn't a turn around. It still uses his Spiritual power and converts it into a powerful attack. Only reason it is different from other Bankais is due to the fact that Bankais are normally expansions of power, whereas his Bankai is a compression of all that power. Its effect is still the same, albeit upgraded. That compression is the reason he can move fast enough to blitz Byakuya easily.
So yeah, while we definitely do not know what Shunsui's Bankai can do, odds of it being a massive expansion of his Shikai are very high, when you take into account most other Bankais, and Ukitake's statement concerning the use of Shunsui's Bankai.

I have no idea why any of you are adding Unohana. She's done nothing, wait tl she actually fights, which she will in this last arc.

I have no idea why you put Isshin on the list but not Urahara/Yoruichi. Both have done considerably more.

Harribel is stronger the Hitsugaya. He just has a one hit kill(or at least, trap) move that really can't be beat.

He had PIS on his side more like. I swear that fricking Ice-clone bullshit is almost as bad as the Great Snake Escape. Nor does it make sense that despite Hitsugaya losing even before her Ressureccion that he's somehow able to keep up with her enhanced speed afterwards even though he had to use the bullshit ice-clone thing to avoid getting blitzed the first time. Why the heck didn't she just blitz him again? Argh, screw Tossero!

I assumed he was doing what Soi-fon did and was holding back to judge her strength. 😮

Nah, theres nothing suggesting that.

Though that thing with Soi-fon was also dumb. Hold back to gain knowledge usefull in later battles? Theres probably not going to be later battles ya bimbo! All the highest ranking members of both sides are present in battle at that point, the war was going to end that day pretty much regardless. And even then given how important that fight was, holding back in it is once again, completely ****ing retarded.
