Only 4 of the Espadas are. Grimmjow: Panther, Nnoitra: Mantis, Ulquiorra: Bat, Halibel: Shark

@@glowstonelovepad9294 really? Nel is a centaur, (I know shes a former espada but I was just including her) sazyel (I know I didn't spell that right) seems like a sea coral or anemone, one of the two.

so what you are saying is that Stark is the hollowification of Danny devito?

Aizen: I got you listed as 4th, but if you REALLY want 1-3 I think you got a case for any of the Ulquiorra: I’m fine with 4, 2, 1, or even purple. It’s all the same to me

Well said

PREACHH BROTHER !!

They would've been friends if they weren't enemies though

He fought 4 captains while trying half heartedly and made Shunsui consider using his bankai . If it wasn't that he didn't want to fight in the first place he would have been a real problem. But people sleep on him as he didn't have that much screen time.

Ulquiorra tho

Starkk relationship with lillinette mirrors the relationship Shunsui had with nana older sister before she became a vizored. Stark is basically a espada shunsui

Barragan didnt lose to soi fon ameda or hachi he lost to himself of pride and arrogance

Bruh, completely wrong Ukitake was attacked from his back by that arancar(the one that sealed ryujin jakas flames) and kyoraku was back stabed by stark when he tried to help ukitake.

@@sarthakarora3212 Lilynette is still considered the fraccion and Stark was given the Primera tattoo though

@@gravethestampede3454 that doesn't really mean anything regarding power level. Stark is incharge is what it means and for all we know lilynette could have been the one who is more closer to their orignal form and stark was made cause she desired someone she wanted to depend on. Stark is the main focus instead of lilynette but she is exactly what stark is missing a childish and more caring side with drive to live and lilynette is missing the mature, lax and smarter side. I think stark is the focus cause he would be liked more by the fans even though he is equal to her.

She seems to hold a grudge against Shunsui about his death

I was also surprised by him saying that. To me it was more of a "Oh did it look like that... Well it's not" situation. As in, Stark wasn't trying to trip him up, but neither is the statement about his guns true.

He wanted an equal, reached his peak, saw Yamamoto and was like nah

I always thouhght this too. Like he wanted to find someone strong just no not Yamamoto strong

@@daneelderozan263 yeah he wanted someone who could match him, Yamamoto surpassed him

Yamamoto had already reached his peak while Aizen was far from it so yes, he was too strong because he would eventually surpass Yamamoto and reach far higher height it was just a matter of time and he did when he fused with the Hogyoku. Plus let's be honest, if not for plot Aizen could have easily at any moment one shot all of the captains by cutting off their head with KS. Aizen was simply on another level compared to everyone else, he was a genius who knew every Kido and Hado, his shikai is the most broken in the show, we haven't even seen his bankai yet, his reiatsu is leagues apart from other captains and he is just as smart if not smarter than Urahara. Ichigo being a fusion of all races (Shinigami/Hollow/Quincy) was the only one who could stand in front of Aizen as equal because he had just as much potential as him.

@@tehcookievanilla1323 copium, there was one panel where he was surprised he died, called him trash and then attacked the shinigami, stop reaching for things that aren’t there.

@@Mugetsu2021 "Stop reaching for things that aren't there " How is that reaching, I haven't read the manga, but your evidence doesn't refute the idea of having respect for someone and showing something else to other people on the outside, like how is that reaching when you are enraged and in battle the respect will often turn into disappointment or pride going up in confidence of one's self, his death aspect is rage so it would make sense so I don't see how it would nullify him having respect before. Plus surmising that the details from the one shot are true from the video, I don't see how it's farfetched to any degree, you've really not said anything that would make my thoughts so 'unbelievable'. These are typical human emotions, and since the espada are have shown to some degree of the same, connecting the dots here and coming to that conclusion doesn't seem "reaching for things that aren't there" at all.

@@Mugetsu2021 Yammy had to keep being angry and psyche himself up otherwise he would lose strength. The author literally stated he felt despair when Ulquiorra's reiatsu disappeared. Keep in mind White's reiatsu even with half a shihakusho was confirmed to be more than Yammy's in his monkey form. His ability to sense reiatsu is very basic and amateurish. Point is, of all the Espada he respected Ulquiorra the most hence why he felt despair when he died. This is all canon information from data books and manga, you are the one who is reaching my friend.

Their videos are still amazing, I appreciate your kind words, though.

@@ClydeKZfaqr Don't get me wrong, I like their content. They're the reason I started watching your channel. It's just that the way you structure your videos keeps me interested & entertained.

This was definitely a narrative implication and a really nice way for Kubo to show us how powerful ulquiorra actually was in his second release. People always talk about yammy being 0 but never about Ulquiorras number simply dissapearing

Not sure it means anything : Harribel's number also disappears with her resurreccion, and I think Nnoitorra's does too.

@@firionnel7833 I think there's is just a design mishap or hidden by clothes, maybe? Idk but I don't think it has the same meaning ulquiorras does (he has a second release and commonly refered to in that form as the strongest espada) idk tho maybe ulqs was also a design mistake lol

Don't all their numbers disappear when they release?

Aizen never saw the form. Not to say that he didn't know about it because it's implied that he did however aizen is the one who gave the espada their ranks. So since he never saw the form how could he ever place a ranking on it? That's the reason why the rank isn't shown if you are curious. However there is an argument in favor of ulquiorra above the espada. Aizen specifically relied on ulquiorra to test the vasto lorde form and he was relative to it. So aizen needed to fuse with the hogyoku before he could deal with people like kenpachi and vasto ichigo. This was the same aizen who in base was already above the other espada. So that puts ulquiorra as relative to vasto lorde ichigo who is above base aizen who just outscales any of the other espada

For real...

Well also because there is no so much to read about Starrk. So to compare him, he has to be. Compared to a lot of parallels from other characters with more screentime. The debate doesn't concern only Starrk, but Barragan, Yami and Ulquiorra too. Because 3 of them could have false rankings. Also the debate evolve around, who is the real challenge for Ichigo? Clyde makes the point that Ulquiorra and Yami would be the real challenge, due to Aizen's persona.

I mean...it wasn't unknown to EVERYONE. Kubo has stated that aizen always knew bout the form.

@@theredheadrevolution4156 it's still a valid point the 3 people in front of him who could be him in 1st release would be confused like is aizen favorite #4 so it makes since he would rank him not taking his 2 release in mind

​@Argentina Argentina I don't have time to read your entire post right now and form a full rebutal on every point ATM. (I'll try to come back later and take a more in depth look) This is in response up to the part where you write (Ulquiorra fight) The core of your argument seems to revolve Ichigo being weaker than the top espada hence ulquiorra can't be as strong. But this logic kinda misses my whole point on the subject. My whole theory is that ulquiorra's true form was hidden from everyoneone and hence he was actually the strongest espada but none of the other espada or aisen knew this. Ulquiorra obviously can completely beat the shiz out of Ichigo without needing to enter his final form despite Ichigo having his mask on which is ichigos strongest form up until this point in the story. Ulquiorra destroys Ichigo who is assumed to be weaker than other espada doesn't somehow prove ulquiorra to be weaker than those espada also. If this was the case then Aizen would be the weakest for steping on an ant because ants are weak and anyone can kill them. No my whole point is that ulquiorra is the strongest espada and Ichigo while in vosto lord form completely curb stomps ulquiorra. Hence ichigos vosto lord form is in fact stronger than any of the espada as well. I don't think I explicitly mentioned that in my past posts but it was implied. -- PS I just skipped and read the last line of your post and can see you say ulquiorra second form strength is unknown and could be stronger but there is no way to know for sure. So I assume you probably understand my point.

yk the ulquiorra said before he died in his segunda that there were others stronger then him

You should see the manga panel of his face.
