Not sure why you guys put zaraki so low, when he fought unohana it was clearly said that he was restraining his power to match his oponent, thats why he was so close to ichigo without bankai. So i'd say he didnt get any powerup after SS arc, he met stronger oponents and just like in fight vs ichigo, he unconsciously matches their strength


That the thing about Zaraki, no matter how weak he was before, they have stupid shit to fall back on such as, "He was restraining his power" or "He was handicapping himself." As far as we all know, he could of been fighting the entire series standing on 1 toe or fighting the entire series sleep walking. Then they just say he fight more seriously now and then he just get 100x more powerful. He just one of those character that can get random power up because everything has yet to be defined by him. So if I had to rate Zaraki, I would just put him on god tier because his power is infinite.
I may not be the best, but i will be some day...

Very likely stronger than Byakuya: Ukitake, Shunsui, Yamamoto, Unohana, Zaraki post-buff

Debatable: Zaraki pre-buff, Ichimaru, Vizards

Probably weaker: Tosen, Hitsugaya, Sui Fong, Kurotsuchi, Komamura

you cant list Unohana and Zaraki since neither of them were stronger in SS


Ukitake is no way stronger hes all like sick and stuff and couldnt take down Kaien without almost like collapsing

so theres only 2 people left and lo and behold that makes him top 3


So Unohana just got a power buff in between SS and the point she died...?

oookkk.... and Ukitake didnt die while fighting yamamoto which makes him >>>> byakuya
his shunpo is like 100x better than byakuya lol


Ukitake may not have died against Yamamoto but i dont see any reason to believe Yamamoto seriously tried to kill them since both of them wouldnt have lasted a fraction of a second if he got serious

Byakuyas shunpo is almost at the level where he can catch Yorouichi which makes him at least the 3rd faster person after soi Fon (with yourichi being first)

so Byakuya is 4th in power, but in terms of fighters (since Unohana isnt a fighter) hes 3rd


Did you see how far Ukitake/Kyoraku/Yamamoto got with ONE shunpo? Soi Fon and Yoruichi take dozens to go that far.

Only thing I understand after seeing those power level discussions, it that Kubo doesn't care about them.

To be the strongest, a captain needs to hide his powers (or have access to some hidden potential), since "plot" will help him win every fights anyway. When his power rises:
- it's his bankai and you have his maximum power level, now the character will struggle even when fighting a weak looking enemy, next fight.
- it's not his bankai and he'll become twice as strong next fight because why not.

The more secrets, the more powerful they are.
CC died because he had no one left.

So, let's do power levels like this. Ichigo could not beat Ulquiora Resurrection, which Aizen knew about. Ichigo was stronger than most of the other captains at this point with hollow mask.
Shunsui pretty much beat Stark with no Bankai (he got taken out by a surprise attack at first, and then came back after. Ukitake is somewhere around Shunsui (he completed the academy along with Shunsui), but his sickness puts him lower. Not enough to be lower than Byakuya though, whom he was able to shunpo up to and stop from cutting someone by complete surprise.
If Tousen were around, and smart, I'd rate him to be one of the strongest. A quick beheading with his bankai is way too ridiculous. Gin is definitely stronger than most captains, beating Ichigo.

Yamamoto, Aizen
Shunsui, Unohana?, Ukitake
Gin, Tousen (if he weren't affected by plot)
Byakuya, Soi Fon, Zaraki
Doggy, Toushiro, Tousen

so jsut because Ukitake was in the same class as Shunsui he has to be on the same level? seriously?


We've pretty much seen that seniority is a major factor in power level. Why can't you accept this?

considering Ichigo is far younger then everyone and far stronger and Gin was younger and one of the stronger captains your argument holds no water

Did you see how far Ukitake/Kyoraku/Yamamoto got with ONE shunpo? Soi Fon and Yoruichi take dozens to go that far.


proof?

weve never seen anyone comment on Yorouichi or soi fons distance moving ability and even if someone can move 10 times farther per step if someone can make 20 steps in that time there still faster

and long distance running isnt important in combat unless your a sniper

also we only know Yamamto was impressed with how much theyve improved there shunpo he didnt say "wow you guys got the best shunpo ever"

You wanna power rank? Let's power rank (using their strongest moments).

Aizen > Yamamoto > Present Zaraki > Urahara with prep > Isshin > Unohana > Shunsui > Ukitake > Gin > Shinji > Tosen > Byakuya > Mayuri with prep > Kensei > Rose > other vizards that I forget > Hitsugaya > Komamura > Soi Fong

No idea where to put Yoruichi.

I could agree with this. Some of it is debatable but if we are only going to use the power that has been displayed so far, it's pretty much on the mark.

Of course, Ichigo > Aizen as well.

If we go by data book (which is I think is up to Aizen disappearing):

Yamamoto:
Battle Stats
Power: 100
Defence: 100
Mobility: 100
Kidou/Reiatsu: 100
Wisdom: 100
Stamina: 60
Total: 560


Unohana:
Battle Stats
Power: 100
Defence: 80
Mobility: 70
Kidou/Reiatsu: 100
Wisdom: 100
Stamina: 90
Total: 540

Aizen:
Battle Stats
Power: 100
Defence: 90
Mobility: 90
Kidou/Reiatsu: 100
Wisdom: 100
Stamina: 80
Total: 560

Shunsui:
Battle Stats
Power: 90
Defence: 90
Mobility: 90
Kidou/Reiatsu: 100
Wisdom: 90
Stamina: 70
Total: 530

Byakuya:
Battle Stats
Power: 90
Defence: 80
Mobility: 90
Kidou/Reiatsu: 90
Wisdom: 90
Stamina: 70
Total: 510

Hitsugaya:
Battle Stats
Power: 80
Defence: 80
Mobility: 90
Kidou/Reiatsu: 90
Wisdom: 80
Stamina: 80
Total: 500

Ukitake:
Battle Stats
Power: 90
Defence: 90
Mobility: 70
Kidou/Reiatsu: 100
Wisdom: 100
Stamina: 40
Total: 490

Zaraki (lol):
Battle Stats
Power: 100
Defense: 80
Mobility: 60
Kidou/Reiatsu: 0
Wisdom: 50
Stamina: 100
Total: 390

Given the above, prior to Aizen disappearing, Byakuya would have been 5th. After Aizen disappeared, he would have been 4th. Don't discount Unohara, since it was hinted quite often that she's terrifyingly powerful.

If their powers gained equally, when Yamamoto died Byakuya could have been considered 3rd. However with the Visored captains coming in, it becomes debatable - since the Visored captains are pretty strong in their own right.

So the above can be used for reference before Bleach went "interesting". And if we take kidou and wisdom out of the equation (if you want to see them brawl), then suddenly Zaraki becomes quite scary.

You guys can do the power rank for everything after Aizen disappeared - I'm just putting this here for reference.

I find Forikorder's arguments and insights about Bleach absolutely enlightening. I hope he continues to grace this thread with his presence + Show Spoiler +
and stays away from the One Piece thread henceforth


But seriously, this is a pretty dumb argument. Not only is it completely subjective (even the databook stuff in open to interpretation since who's to say that Power 100 with no Kidou beats or doesn't beat someone with Power <100 and whatever other stats), but also the whole start of the argument has no merit. It doesn't even matter one bit if Byakuya was a top 3 Captain when Ichigo beat him. The point was that he was some no-name scrub beating a CAPTAIN. Any of them would have served the same basic purpose. Byakuya just had the bonus tie-in with Rukia.

Question isn't who's stronger than Byakua, it's who's weaker than him, since conveniently half of the captains are left out (vizards/traitors). So the weaker captains are hitsugaya, soi fong, komamura (3 never beat a quality opponent), mayuri (best win: #8 arrancar.
Byakuya's best win is the #7 arrancar. So he's the 5th weakest.

Because he limits himself to his opponents apparent strength, as explained by Unohana..
