i think he had a ton of power, but his mellow manner i think was part of his downfall.

I think he was the 2nd Strongest behind only 2nd Stage Ulquiorra

he did seem to struggle with shunsui so i guess his not really good at fighting fast and smart opponents

at some point, his 0 metralleta and his wolves will be too much for Barragan's respiro, and that's it, he'd get his head blown off

It did not take 4 captains to bring down Starrk. It took Shunsui in his Shikai. More egregious, his strongest move didn't even kill anyone.

Yup. People love to downplay him despite the fact he fought 4 captains, in pairs back to back Once he got serious, he easily took down Love and Rose

Personal head canon now

He LITERALLY HAS A LIMIT , he pretty much says to rose " those ceros would never work on someone as strong as you no matter how many I fire"

@@babyblue1443 That doesn't mean he has a limit. . . He even states that he can fire them practically endlessly. That statement means that it wouldn't hit them directly so there's no point in really using them.

@@Delimon007 then it's pretty much useless against any top tier no? If shikai love is too fast for those ceros , r2 Ulq would have a field day with them , I used the word limit as in " limit to power/strength" clearly those ceros are nothing too much to any arrancar arc top tier

@@babyblue1443 Fuck no. Each one of those ceros are as strong as ulqs. You have NO idea what you are talking about. Just a single hit was good enough to take shisui out of the fight. In terms of speed they can be somewhat dodged but that's it. In terms of raw power a couple hits is enough to deal with most high tiers and that's just his basic ceros. Obviously, he has higher level ceros which he even used against shisui who had to be saved or use his broken af bankai and forcing Shisui to use his bankai is a major feat in of itself.

Not quite, an Arrancar is a hollow that's survived breaking it's mask. It's a rare thing, but as well as Starrk both Ulquiorra and Barragan were also natural Arrancar. The blending of Hollow and Shinigami is a separate process that Aizen was performing simultaneously with the Hogyoku while also using the atrocity ball to keep the hollows together through becoming Arrancar. It is still an extremely impressive feat. Shinigami kill hollows by destroying their masks.

@@uncabob214no, ulquiorra is on a completely different level. He seems to be genetically linked to the primordial hollows. When he transforms for a second time his reiatsu becomes completely alien, and his poem also suggests that he came from the sand of primordial hollows. He is an arrancar in his base and first transformation, but in his second he goes back to being hollow like.

@@uncabob214No, Barragan was explicitly still a Hollow when Aizen met him

Pretty sure Arrancar were a thing before the Hogyoku, rare but still present

@@benschwartz3092 Rare and incomplete, closer to Grand Fisher's arrancar form than those under Aizen. Starrk is notable for being a complete one who's natural

His eye patch mirrors Stark too.

He and Ulquiorra are my favorite Espada, followed by Szayel and Grimmjow.

stage 2 ulquiorra better and i will die on this hill. only reason we haven't seen that with him is cause he wasn't close to anyone other than ichigo when in 2nd form

Stark I don’t see as super strong not like ulquiorra nnoitra and nelliel

@@belial1821nnootora and nel and weak compared to stark

@@bigjc5546 Ulquiorra is special in a entirely diferent way. By the hints that exist, Ulg is connected to the primordial Hollows, even whatever there was before, his power is just... alien to what exist in current time. Starrk is... a natural progression, he is chance being stacked until a being like him came into existence. He simply happened to get those powers but at the same time, because this evolution is closely tied to his human aspects he felt the weight much more. He is the perfect Hollow, the supreme Vastolorde, he is the pinacle of the evolutionary process of Hueco Mundo... and he would be anything else if he could.

​@@Alacaelumthe ulquiorra primordial hollow theory has holes. Number 1, the 2nd release is confirmed to be able to be achieved thru training, so ulquiorra was never that lvl of strength originally. Number 2, since we know this, ulquiorra had to achieve his second release AFTER aizen gave him power from tge hokyoku which would be the only way ulquiorra would claim that aizen hasn't seen it. So that means, we can only judge ulquiorras original power based off his 1st release which is way too weak for that theory to even be possible.

Yeah. Kubo made espada's 6, 5, and 4 look like monstrous powerhouses.

there is no lack of feats, only people that didn't pay attention

@@UryuCifer That could be it

I think ulqi and Grimm are just so much more memorable…Kubo did leave a lot of “meat on the bone “before moving on to the next arc. This is my favorite anime and like the 1st love of my anime life and i still cant really say which espada is my favorite if any of them 🤷🏿‍♂️. Ulqi and Grimm seem to get more screen time as well 😳

@dallasfluff3347 Can understand that. I do wish more of the Espada got more screentime. My favorites are Ulquiorra, Harribel, and Grimmjow.

I agree with that assessment. People also under-scale both due to their showing and the result of the fights, not even considering they are both compromised in their respective fights.

Unohana straight up won the fight many many times and healed Kenpachi back up from a skeleton

@@vaiyt exactly, a fully unlimited Kimpachi was still being matched by an exaughsted and out of gas Unohana that kept nursing him back to health on the dime of her own spirit energy. Because of this, we probably only got to see her at some 20% lethality

​​@@ezramiller8936tbh, unohana constantly healing diminishing her rieatsu SHOULD NOT be taken seriously. This is a very miniscule detail that only popped up from powerscaling kids, and as we know, authors aren't perfect. Zaraki is confirmed stronger than unohana as a kid, so there's no reason to believe unohana would be that much stronger than fully unsuppressed base zaraki now.

@ghhbpolo Kid kimpachi was still stronger than the kimpachi we see fight gremmy (evident that his eye patch was on for the duration of the fight). It isn't really inconsistent with the scaling, so I'm not sure why anyone would pump the breaks here on her overall power. There's a reason I used the word lethality and not power.

I said the same thing. And one of those captains is the future commander and easily one of the strongest there. Also one of the only handful of characters to actually have his blade touch aizen if I can recall. So that says a lot about Stark

​@@AlexDrewsumin Kyouraku unfortunately never touched Aizen. Shinji, Yamamoto, Ichigo, Isshin, Yoruichi, Urahara and Gin were the only ones in the story at the time to touch Aizen.

@@prithvipramod8653 bet couldn't remember if it was a clone or not.

@@AlexDrewsumin ulq still more powerful

​@@eluclidhe isnt

The hollows dying thing always came off to me as him simply not knowing how to control his reiatsu properly. We see other characters later on far more powerful than starrk and yet basic hollows don't just fall over. Shikai Ichigo saving the two shinigami from all the hollows at the start of the TWBW in Karakura Town is an example of that.

@@Matthew_Webster No, starrk's ability to split his soul on command and the vast control he has over ceros show that he definitely has incredible control over his power. Splitting your soul willingly into various sentient beings and even one with a different personality is a level of control beyond anything we've seen amongst hollows in general. So that's definitely not the case. It's simply about his passive spiritual pressure being that much. Remember, the top 2 espada are actually far far stronger than they were portrayed to be. The data books claim that stark can shoot cero metrallata infinitely without stopping. The implication is that Starrk has a nigh endless well of spiritual power. The only issue is how much he allows to be released at once. As for stronger characters not killing hollows passively, it's kinda easy to explain that. Starrk was killing tons of hollows near him with his passive spiritual pressure, during the fake karakura town arc, we see hollows on the ground simply evaporate due to the presence of the Gotei 13 and the Espada, in the SAFWY novel, we see that Kenpachi Kuruyashiki could shake the masks off the faces of Vasto Lorde hollows with his spiritual pressure. But characters over a certain spirit class seems unaffected by passive spiritual pressure and that's very consistent. Vice captain level soul reapers and Arrancar and above aren't affected by passive spiritual pressure of incredibly powerful beings. But if said incredibly powerful beings decide to increase their spiritual pressure with intent, we see that it actually hurts these fairly strong Arrancar and vice captain to captain level characters. Example: Aizen flexing on Grimmjow. My point is, if a character is at a certain spirit class, passive spiritual pressure from an insanely powerful source won't just kill them.

@@NEONlights-lb8um Sure he can fire a ridiculous amount of cero at a time, but they don't pack a ton of power themselves. Shunsui took a hit dead on and was fine, and even Love and Rose survived his wolves exploding in their faces. Barragan's respira is basically a game over if you get hit with it, because you'll either lose your limb and be weakened or you'll just completely rot away. Plus nothing to suggest Barragan can't just endlessly spam respira like Starrk could with ceros.

​@Matthew_Webster tell me who did we see far more powerful than starrk around normal hollows, because outside of the first few episodes of tybw we never even see hueco mundo and basically any hollow in the entirety of tybw

@UryuCifer Aizen for one. He was collecting hollows to experiment with throughout.

Yeah and those wolves suck ass

Which down grades him by a lot since it literally should be like a Gran ray cero but it does no damage even ulq lance deals more damage than that he can use it hundreds of times without casualties

Well, remind me - who with the help of reinforcements (that is, not even himself) shot an opponent in the back? You won't believe it- Stark! But why remember it, right? It's only Kioraku's dirty tricks...

Yammys the strongest nice try , kubo himself said it in a q&a , if you can't accept that , then I'm free to say ulquiorra is the strongest ( the guy literally changed the nature of his reiatsu to other hollows in his second form which scared even uryu) and he has far greater feats

If you think that Those 4 would clap Uliquirra 2 form with no problem you are delusional. He would lose eventually but dont say Stark is the only guy WHO could pull that off

Barragan is the strongest they literally only beat him because he killed himself

Facts

Could have fought Robert Accutron

​@@hagermannre3 nah Babi bro

Maybe in the hell arc cuz well if a captain level soulreaper can't pass onto reincarnation and must go to hell we'll an arrancar so much more powerful then multiple captains in sure he do fit

Personally I would have had him die defendin Hueco Mundo from the Quincy Military Occupation when they first invaded at the hands of the Quincy king instead of Harribel, reason being for killin Stark is that He can body almost all the Quincy if he faugh them & a threat to him race overall as the strongest weapon essentially against Quincy by Design & then after killin him going to talk to Aizen & Givin him praise for recruitin Stark into his Former ranks, sayin had he not killed him, he would have been A lot for his army & people to deal with without sufferin heavy loss before reachin the royal palace & the we cut to Aizen laugh a bit probably out of a sense of dominance he had over The Quincy king before he showed up with Aizen Espada & passively dismissin it coz he's Aizen😅 but that's just me

A final blow that was bullshit as Kyoraku hit his hole (pause)... a.k.a nothing. Imo at this moment he should've pierced through one of his back black straps & just before dying, Starrk would've achieved Segunda Etapa & survived

Remember what Aizen said, an hollow is a black soul with gained its name because it is a hollow made from shinigames who are white souls. So saying black means he literally cut Stark an black soul

I don't remember where, but i think Kubo said that when he kills someone, he waits for the right moment. If he thinks the moment isn't cool or dramatic enough, then they'll survive. I kind of get that with Stark. It was a tragic, pitiful end. It felt like one of the good guys died, not one of the "bad" guys. I honestly feel that the emotional impact and weight of the battle would have been lessened if he had survived.

Fan theory hot take. Two of the wolves left the battlefield secretly and reformed into Starrk and Lilynette later on.

@@chaossin7425 might not be far from the truth. Kubo does end of chapter sketches to show glimpses into underlying things happening, and Stark and Lillynette are shown as 2 Coyotes. When Stark dies, only one wolf dies while the other sadly lowers their snout to sniff at the body. In the next chapter ending, it's lying down and resting its head on its dead companion. Lillynette might still be alive in some form. Even though the anime went out of its way to make it seem like she died.

And it was a sneak attack too

I don't understand what going all out even means, when he uses los lobos, his strongest move, that presumably affects his soul. This is really tiresome and nonsensical

Bankai's debut are strictly situational they don't all have the luxury of Daiguren Hyorinmaru 😅

⁠@@dunebuggy1292I mean…Ichigo uses Getsuga all series long but he doesn’t put the same level of intent behind every one. Starrk barely put any effort into the fight even after he “got serious.” If he wanted to fight hard, he would have sent all his ceros and wolves out before Shunsui and Ukitake ever had a chance to test him. He was clearly capable of doing so.

To be fair, Hollowfication is akin to Bankai. So he did fight Bankai levek amps even if he didn't fight their actual Bankai forms. And Rose, at least, we know why he didn't use Bankai. It would have been suicide against an opponent like Stark.

@@corruptangel6793 You may have a point especially when it comes to Rose. Starrk showed great Battle IQ and Rose has a big mouth. It also could be possible that his Bankai might affect anyone who might hear it nearby so it could endanger Love as well. He did use it against Mask only after Kensei was knocked out. I do wonder why we never saw a Visored use both Hollowfication and Bankai at the same time though aside from Ichigo.

I mean, Barragan explains that their aspects of death are what determines their mentality, ideologies, abilities...their very reasons for existing. They are the embodiments of those aspects of death.

​@@babyblue1443where is that stated verbatim?

It has to do with technique. He explained this. He alone has mastered Sonido to the point that he was able to make a new technique from it, which allowed him to greate 5 tangible after images, dopplegangers, to fight his opponent. He basically does Naruto's Multi-Shadow clone Jutsu with nothing but sheer speed. Not even Stark can do that.

You would be wrong Zomari wasn't the only one who claimed this Kubo did too

Segunda etapa Ulquirorra is something else entirely. I personally believe that after release, Stark is probably the strongest espada by a fair margin, but Ulquirorra having that Segunda etapa form makes him an almost unquantifiable variable, and would, in my opinion, place him alongside Stark

Zommari didn't know about Ulquiorra's Segunda Etapa, to be fair

@@vaiyt kubo did and he said Zomari was the fastest

Imagine if he fired a cero oscuras in one gun and granre cero in the metralleta gun...

Let that sink in. He wasn't even trying, threw the fight and was depressed while fighting all while he was blasting his enemies with permanukes like it was nothing, that's all you need to know about his potential. The guy is the definition of wasted potential, we will perhaps never know how strong he truly was.

he still gets whooped by final stage ulquiorra

@@bigjc5546 Yeah sure, but what would a final stage/serious Starrk would look like? I'd bet he would give Ulquiorra a good run for his money atleast.

@bigjc5546 I disagree. If Ulquiorra was stronger than Starrk he'd either be number 1 or at the very least his number would have changed the way Yami's did. Especially since they were introduced and sort of kept together as a pair. It wouldn't make sense for Yami to have a number change post transformation and Ulquiorra doesn't get the same courtesy. If anything it would add more to the story if that happened. Starrk on the other hand split his soul to compensate for his solitude and also weaken himself enough so that an entity can survive around him even if the entity in question is his own soul. All the espada wandered alone before Aizen came along, none had an effect on their surroundings so impactful that creatures (OF THE SAME SPECIES) would die by coming near him. And with the way his power works in the series, I'd say he never gets to use his real power because even though he joined with Lilinette, she remained a separate entity both as a gun and a wolf. She could even act on her own. With that, I'd say he's stronger than Ulquiorra and just a little below Vasto Lorde Ichigo. He would have performed much better if he and Ulquiorra swapped places in that fight.

Shunsui was also nerfed prior to the vizards getting in

@@ghhbpolo How so?

@seldomsane5278 katen kyokotsu wasn't in the "mood" to use shunsuis stronger games as shunsui stated in their final confrontation.

@@ghhbpolo I would have to watch that again. Besides, it isn't like he wasn't trying before hand, I mean he considered bankai. That doesn't sound like someone who's got more tricks up his sleeve. Also, Shunsui got a critical hit on him later in the fight from behind. A blow that would've ended most others, so both weren't exactly fighting fit during the last stage of their fight.

@seldomsane5278 it's not that shunsui intentionally hid his power. It's that he himself had no control over it. Katen kyokotsu is the one that controls the games shunsui uses. Due to that, a nerfed shunsui HAD to use his bankai, not because his shikai wasn't strong enough, but because it was the only option left. Shunsui also had survived an attack from starrk that was meant to take shunsui out when statrk said aizen couldn't wait any longer.

Honestly, had stark been fighting to kill and forced him to use bankai the body count on both sides would have been much higher.

After seeing his bankai I understood why Kyoraku just CONSIDERING the need to use it is such a big deal. His bankai isn't a guarantee of victory... it is a fucking gamble, the "best" worst outcome from it would be just him dying. Katen Kyokotsu is a moody mistress.

Bullshit lmao. Yeah, Resurreccion Starkk is stronger than Shikai Shunsui, but Bankai Shunsui DESTROYS Starkk like a ragdoll.

​@@ShadowbannedAccounttell em starrk d riders mf OH BUT HE FOUGHT 4 CAPTAINS. Mf they weren't even fucking using bankai 😂😂😂

At the end all the espadas are weak in comparison to Quincy's

True ❤

counter point: final stage ulquiorra

@@bigjc5546, I don't think Segunda Etapa is like a "hollow bankai" so much as it's like one of the elder captains with multi-stage bankai effects. Murciélago's second stage, if anything (as an arrancar's release makes them "fully hollow" again), would just be the equivalent of a power making him more "hollow" which though powerful is kinda the antithesis of what a Vasto Lorde embodies. It's the rejection of being monstrous AKA becoming more like Starrk that concludes Ulquiorra's arc. I think it could reasonably be argued that Ulquiorra may have eclipsed Halibel with Segunda Etapa and Aizen just hadn't done anything to change ranks in the period where that's relevant, but I think surpassing Starrk or Barragan is a hard sell. Keep in mind that Ulquiorra literally claimed that 3 Espada outclassed him to Ichigo and he's a little too straightlaced to falsely boast of his faction's powers simply for the sake of intimidation.

No, yammy is considered the strongest.

@@ghhbpolo, Yammy's resurreccion gives him more strength the angrier he gets. Outside of the context of his ability ramping up, he's in no way the strongest espada.

I think people overanalyze how Kubo writes... Making theories about who is or isn't the strongest based on personal preferences and implications through the story when in fact Kubo is quite up and front... He simply tells us who's the strongest and our work should be simply to see how absurdly powerful Ulqiorra is and try to extrapolate how monstrous Starrk is... Instead, people try to think Aizen didn't know how strong Ulqiorra actually is or that he made a conspiracy to leave Ichigo with the true-strongest-one-for-real...

Ulquiorra is stronger, that's it lol

@@destructo3457 Ulquiorra got washed by Vasto Lorde Ichigo. I That’s a True Vasto Lorde. Stark was the strongest Espada. Aizen knew about Ulquiorra 2nd form. It baffles me how ppl think he didn’t know. The Ranks are as they should be.

@@ghhbpolo oh, why not?

@@corruptangel6793 yammy, the strongest espada, had trouble with pre tybw zaraki. Fully awakened zaraki is having trouble with the elite sternritters. Neither starrk or baragon r on that lvl.

@@ghhbpolo Yammi is slow, and his skills are notoriously bad. He may have been the strongest Espada, but he was far from the most dangerous. Fighting Yammi is like fighting a Dark Souls boss, as long as you don't get hit, victory is only a matter of when, and not if. Also, don't forget, he was also dealing with Bankai Byakuya too. Hence why Kenpachi called the fight a bore despite having to remove his eyepatch and (implied in the manga) remove a mental seal. Remember, Kenpachi, with his eyepatch on, was trashing first release Yammi, yet that same Kenpachi, without his eyepatch, got effortlessly perception blitzed by base Stark. Stark could have casually taken his and Ichigo's heads then and there if he wanted. Oh, and not to mention how the top 4 Espada were forbidden from using their ressurection within Los Noches because they would destroy the entire place, yet Yammi never came close to destroying it and made no sign that he was even threatening the Canopy, like when Grimmjow used his Gran Ray Cero. Stark and Barragan may not have the BS hax and pseudo immortality of the Schutzstaffel, but power and skill wise, they are definitely up there.

@@corruptangel6793 yammy not blowing up Las noches is an obv plot hole so it can't be used in this argument, especially since we know kubo was rushed asf in tge arrancar arc when he said ulquiorra vs ichigo dudnt go the way he wanted. Yammy already had 0 in his initial releases power, so even in tgat state he would beat tge other 4. Tge espada ranks r based on overall power. In a direct fight, tge hugger rank will beat the lower rank no matter what. So it just means rgat yammys power in general is so far above the others tgat it's all he needs to beat them.

I see your point about Stark's attacks seeming to lack power, though Ichigo's Getsuga is often useless even though it's his main attack and is supposed to be a devastatingly powerful technique. I think you can chalk that up to the characters' durability sometimes being kind of situational. I believe in the effort to make Stark a sympathetic character, Kubo scaled back the damage he inflicted on the protagonists, knowing that if his attacks were too brutal Stark would be perceived as villainous. However, he couldn't really make it seem like Stark was holding back, because the stakes in FKT were too high and if Stark was clearly holding back it would be anti-climatic. The result is Kubo choosing to convey Stark's strength by having him constantly outmaneuvering his opponents throughout the battle, rather than having him crush foes with overwhelming force but it didn't have quite enough impact to convince a lot of the readers of how powerful he was.

​@@philw3039 It is rare that Getsuga ends up being the finishing blow, but it's still shown to do a lot of damage on many occasions. Like Ichigo vs Byakuya, Ichigo vs Grimmjow, or the time when Ichigo gave Aizen a huge cut back in FKT with a Getsuga. We also know pre-skip Getsuga is roughly as powerful as cero when Ichigo is fighting someone about as strong as him (base Grimmjow's cero slightly overpowered black Getsuga in their final fight), so it's even more bewildering to me that Starrk cannot harm Vizards with ceros when he can fire thousands of them, unless he's actually weaker. I agree with you there's no doubt Starrk is very smart and very fast, but ultimately it's attack power that gets the job done and I feel Starrk was very underwhelming in that department. I would like to think Kubo intended the Espadas to be strong because they're still my favourite group in Bleach, but it was also Kubo who gave most of the top Espada such lackluster performance then go on to have Aizen rant about how weak they were and cut down Harribel in anger after Starrk died.

Solid points no one brings up. He definitely had the opportunity to pull a Robert and take his eye but pulled his punches.

@@ezramiller8936 Robert was him. Stark should take notes from him.

Insane

Oh I have these coyote too they take my life force away yeah it's like a gran ray cero but it does no damage 😂😂

Starrk would still lose if shunsui wasn't nerfed for 3/4 of the fight.

@@ghhbpolo Oh, yeah, Starrk wasn't gonna stand a CHANCE against his Bankai, but even if you're referring to Katen's temperament (which if you are, good on ya!), I think he could have matched Shunsui's games in a fair fight. Shunsui wouldn't have been able to actually cut the colors he wanted if Starrk had still been at full mobility. But that's how Shunsui operates: find an opening, exploit it, win. He actually Cared about the fight.

Well you see it is a lie, when souls "die"/dissipate, it becomes party of the spiritual world, all that talk about reencarnation is all an lie, in the latest chapter we have it is said that souls that are too dense to dissipate need to go to hell or will be clinging in the spirity world

@@gabrielrasilva No, that's not how it works lol. Every soul does reincarnate. Did you forget that all full bringers died and reincarnated in the soul society? And that human souls die and can become hollows which when killed reincarnate in the soul society? It's their spiritual pressure that is reabsorbed into the soul society, not their souls. Don't forget in bleach, spiritual beings still possess a soul. The hogyoku was hidden inside Rukia's soul. Spiritual pressure isn't the same as the soul. When captain class Shinigami die, their spiritual pressure is too dense to be reabsorbed into the soul society, so they send them to hell instead. The implication is that their spiritual body cannot be broken down and reabsorbed, the soul is contained within the spiritual body and so it's sent to hell with the captain. Did you forget that Aizen wanted to use the sokyoku to completely destroy Rukia's soul so he could get the hogyoku? He failed, so he used another device that bypasses the spiritual body in order to touch her soul and obtain the hogyoku.
