I think Ichigo's is the strongest because it's scared Yhwach in a such point that he break his zampakuto once he releases his Bankai

I hope one day we get Aizen's bankai one day. I hope its not as disappointing as Shinji's was.

@@ladonmccabe i hope so it would be very cool

@@johnnorris282 i mean that feels like a cheap answer when ichigo's whole point is being the strongest

To be fair, the main character’s Bankai is just big energy slashes 😂

@@sayastirfryin-uq8qp reminds me of the russia meme Mayuri edits his bankai Kisuke's bankai edits you

Kurosuchi has an obsession with creating life (despite being a reaper of souls). and his Bankai does just that. creates a life, that reaps souls

💀 the design is so mid

@@blair97 right? i guess everything truly is subjective

​@blair97 design is subjective, but in my opinion the old bankai looks way better than the new bankai. The new one looks pretty bad overall imo.

I liked the old one's design a lot, but I love the look of versatility of his new one, and the coat. Any Bankai that changes your drip is great to me

Nah hell no

kinda true tho… yuha didnt just send ANYONE after this man

I wanna know what your definition of fancy is

@@ACagedBird364 - Step 1: Activate Bankai Step 2: Tap enemy into Oblivion Anything more than that is unnecessary for Yama.

Absolutely fodder

Seeing how they are taking more independence in the anime, I won't be surprised if they actually showed us a snippet of what Tensa Zangetsu's true power is via Yhwach's point of view

Ooooh, that would be cool - to give us something, anything, of what Ichigo's bankai actually does

He just say he wanted to show respect breaking it because it was formidable, if was Absolutely dangerous Kubo would show his reaction.

We know he also needed to steal yamas bankai, and that the reason he was able to do it and essentially why yama lost was because he didnt heal his other arm. I still don't think it would be stronger than yamas ngl.

Ichigo has one move. What is there to wonder.

Ironically the Stark and Harribel are the only ones that really are allies. Stark gets depressed whenever they lose, and Harribel joins Aizen when she's trying to protect her future fracion.

Lmao, Barragan gonna see Aizen as his ally rather than enemy now 😅

“We had a common enemy” is the entire dynamic between the espada. They were never allies, they were simply in agreement on who the bigger enemy was

I think being a part of Squad Zero gives you a boost but that’s just my thinking.

​@@THED3ADLY7 I think yamamoto could have easily been part of squad zero if he really wanted to.

@@danielsniff6405 I don't think its a case of wanting it. You need to have contributed something of such significance that squad 0 will recruit you. He was the one who found the 13 court guard and the academy, which meets the requirements mentioned earlier. I think Ichibei definitely considered his promotion but thought of a better outcome: Having Yamamoto, a soul reaper with increadible powers, act as the head of the shield that protects the royal family/palace. This is just my head cannon tho x'D Ichibei could fear Yamamoto if he gained even more power as a squad 0 member AND former criminal for all we know. Hope we get an explanation one day!

Where it was stated? He was boss of Hikifune and probably Tenjiro, not Shutara. Who upvote this.

@@KiReSishbefore urahara reformed the 12th division, there was once an unofficial science group of the gotei 13 that was led by senjumaru, which mayuri was also a part of. This info came from one of the klub outside Q&As

Thank you!

Yeah. I mean look at Yama. Doesn't matter how strong his Zanpakuto is, he died in the fight. He could have wielded the worst Bankai, it wouldn't have changed.

@@AgrestisAnimaYama losing in that fight is less of a him being weaker thing and more of a he’s changed too much

​@@crownedking_cj8890plus it was stolen

​@@crownedking_cj8890plus he he didn't heal his arm. I dont know the reasoning either, but yhwach literally almost cried saying why yama didn't heal his arm. There is probably a catch with losing bodyparts being equivalent to losing insane amount of power, esepcially something like an arm while you are a swordsman

​@sigmaohiogyattfanumrizz he was gonna lose regardless

To begin with, Let Yamamoto be better revealed In order to know who can withstand his bankai And who cannot, But not so that Yamamoto could not win, So he is top 1

I'd be happy just seeing him use his Zanpakuto's power in the Hell arc.

The namelessness is intentional, because Kenpachi always knew the pain of not having a name.

​Ironically Nameless demon or devil with no name translates into something that sure sounds fitting for a bankai

It is likely that it is "tradition" (intended as Kubo's stylistic choice and not the tradition of the title) that the Kenpachis' zanpakutos have the same name in both shikai and bankai. Uonhana Minazuki and Minazuki, Kuruyashiki Gagaku Kairo and Gagaku Kairo. So, probably, Nozarashi will also have the same name in bankai.

That shatter fate shit is bullshit until we see it

Gin’s Bankai is wild. Aizen just beat Urahara, Isshin and Yoruichi by himself with no issues at all, then transformed and got stronger… and Gin’s Bankai just immediately one taps Aizen and had him dead until the Hogyoku intervened. That single ability combined with the speed of his Bankai puts it over at least a couple of the Bankai on this top 10 list imo.

I'd definitely but Gin's over Renji and Byakuya.

​@@Rylan_Korpiyeah I could see byakuya beating gin by his sheer skill and laser focused commitment but renji would get 1tapped on sight, he's got zero chance against gin

Ichogo glazers argument are literally based on head canons

Yeah, for exemple I disagree with Dangai Joe being number 10, but that's because I believe the Humanization Technique shouldn't be taken into consideration when judging it since it's not part of the Bankai. But when it is taken into consideration, it being number 10 makes perfect sense.

Every list of strongest bankai in the whole bleach fandom is basically just a bunch of assumption.

@@aimaarzaidaan7657 Bleach has the worst power system when it comes to power scaling. It's at the same time a DBZ-style power system where more=better and a Jojo-like power system with a wide variety of special abilities, some exceptionaly broken. On top of that, many of those broken abilities only appear in one fight, leaving too little information about their actual limits. And to make it even more confusing, reiatsu neg is supposedly a thing, but never comes into play beside the 2 times it does to be explained, despite situations where the difference in power was arguably bigger than in those 2 instances.

Many people, myself included, tend to view Ichibe as someone who’s Shikai is the real powerhouse of his arsenal while the Bankai is more of an extra bonus. The Bankai is super busted, but it’s more of a ‘win more’ kind of power where as the Shikai will probably already have the fight over by that point.

It might be similar to an Aizen situation. Who’s shiki is way too busted that it over shadows the bankai. I wouldn’t of rated senjumaru that high though especially knowing it achieves nothing

the potential of ichibe's bankai was never explored at all really. He used it simply to mock yhwach in a battle he'd already thought he'd won. Tommo only considers him using ichimonji on people before re-naming them, but if ichibe applies ichimonji on objects and then re-names them then the potential is basically limitless. Presumably he can't simply name a rock "reio", for example, but given even in base form he can simply write characters like "barrier" and "hide" and have those effects applied absolutely, i'd think there's not too much he couldn't do

Ichibe also has mad other skills like special kido.

Absolutely - Ichibei, and by extension, his Bankai is just such a tough one to rank. As a fellow commenter said, I personally think the bulk of what makes him dangerous lies in his Shikai first and foremost, but an argument could easily be made for him to be higher.

I dont know why Hisagi isnt in top 10, he cant lose, only option is draw i dont see anyone winning that fight besides Aizen,Yhwach,Yama,Ichibe and maybe Gerrard I dont say he is one of the strongest in verse a lot of characters can speed blitz him before he says bankai

they do. people forget gins bankai actually hurt hogyoku aizen to the point he thought he actually died. but then he came back and realized the hogyoku made him immortal and he finished off gin

Yeah truth is, gin really had aizen there had it not been for the hogyoku

Ichigo parried it.

Senjumaru isn't 12th division that's Hikifune.

@@BlackangelKatakuriSenjumaru was the previous leader or captain of the Science/Research division as well I believe. As she makes a remark at Mayuri when she appears for the first time

Honestly just going off of Yuha it should be number 1 even if it doesn’t have any crazy abilities

​@@shiroufan5401 Yeah the fact it can one shot SK Juha is crazy

The main antagonist of the story was scared of his bankai so i guess ichigo's bankai deserve to be on top of this list

Well it didn’t one shot SK Yuha. It’s important to remember that Yuhas powers were nullified because of the silver arrow and Ichigo took the shot. The bankai isn’t that strong tbh

@@jamaleverett7337 didn’t the arrow just turn off the allmighty and his other abilities? Also he still felt the need to immediately break it so it probably still could’ve one shot him. I guess Ichigo is also just the strongest character in terms of just strength he just doesn’t have any overpowered abilities

Honestly it could be something kind of dumb, like how Soifon's shikai was pretty deadly for a fighter like her but her Bankai was kind of trash.

We do know the mass hypnosis on captains and vice captains was the bankai release and that the illusion is permanent unless released by Aizen once settled. (both these info are revealed in the soul society arc when they reveal Aizen is the bad guy). So realistic hypothesis is that it's simply the illusion powers of the shikai on a extremely empowered level with no time restriction on the duration since we see the shikai illusion last a definite amount of time in Barragan small flashback.

It wasn’t acid. Her bankai doesn’t dissolve anything. The depiction in the manga that seemingly suggested the blood had acidic qualities was shown in the anime to simply be a metaphor for each character freeing themselves and coming out of their skin or removing the mask, so to say.

We don't know how her bankai works.

There is no acid the anime shows us that it's a metaphor for their true selves being unleashed it just controls blood

Ichigo was fast enough to stop every blade w his underpowered bankai and low reatsu

Hitsugayas may power may go onto include water and lightning as well

Hitsugaya is next Yamamoto.Zaraki's bankai also has big potential as his body can't even handle a fraction of power.

@@j.k.1239 ofcourse yes, Zaraki's bankai may be simple but for a brute force fighter like him, it is perfect. No overthinking, no complicated ability..just pure carnage. I mean that was the first time he used his bankai so makes sense that isn't at its fullest and will defo grow stronger. toushiro i feel is as you said, next yamamoto. His bankai is exact opposite of Yamaji...and given enough time has the potential to mature into something as powerful as zanka no tachi if not more powerful(cuz IMO his ability negation aspect is a little too broken)

We still don't know exactly how her bankai works

For one absolute 0 isn't possible

And that was just a fraction of power, Imagine how much explosive power it really has.....That isn't surprising though as a kid Kenpachi was powerful enough to face someone like Unohana.

I feel like he would be unstoppable ​@@Manusia.satu1

​@@j.k.1239not just face her, but he nearly defeated her Man.... I miss Murder Mommy

I don’t tbh, yes his bankai isn’t the strongest, not the fastest not the most destructive but it does everything so well it’s definitely better than Komomuras, now you can make a case that it isn’t better than Mayuris but tbh that bankai is heavily buffed by Mayuris intellect. Byakuyas is just refinement It covers for people it has good single person attack potency we saw that against Gerard, it had good defensive, it can be used against many people it is basically omnidirectional and you would say that’s worse than a one and done bankai like Komomura ? Byakuyas own words literally contradict that „A sword swung in exchange for one’s life is not worth it“

@@smoothcriminal4618 I totally agree. I made this comment before finishing the video and as soon as I seen Komomura’s bankai I started scratching my head lol. Besides the top three I think an argument could be had that Byakuya’s bankai could stand a chance against any of those. He was able to blow the head off Gerard, one of the strongest enemies in the series, I’d equate that to a flash freeze or Komomura swinging his giant sword and so on. Byakuya really has one of the best if not the best all around bankai in the series. easily a top 10.

She does have one on her hip during a flashback I believe, but says she doesnt care for it

Hakka no Togame higher please. We litterally only Seen the activation, i'd say 20% of it true power.

@Taiga-16 Yeah, I was also unsure whether to put Hakka no Togame below or above Mayuri's Bankai, but then, looking back at Rukia's feats fighting Äs Nödt, I'd say she clocks it. When she activated Sode no Shirayuki and was decreasing her own body temperature below the point where blood freezes and molecules cease to function. She is medically considerd dead at this point mind you, but yet can still perform cognitive higher thinking, and still perform mind-to-body movements like complex Martial art maneuvers like shunpō without shattering into a trillion pieces( which is utterly absurd), then when she fights Äs Nödt we see that she can freeze her self and her targets to -273,15°C (absolute zero), keep in mind that the organism that can survive the lowest temperature, can survive a temperature of about -80°C, the coldest place on Earth is -93,2°C, the coldest thing in the UNIVERSE!!!( Boomerang Nebula) is -272.15°C and the absolute coldest temperature matter can meet is -273°C and Rukia's Sode no Shirayuki meet that temperature, keep in mind that, that was just her shikai and Bankai's give the user a 5 to 10 times boost of power, so you can imagine the madness of that beyond absurd temperature!!! Rukia is the GOAT to survive all that!!! And with Mayuri Bankai being a lifeform-based Bankai, I think it's molecules will freeze beyond function where it can't give birth to a counter or even live to begin with, so I'm content in putting Hakka no Togame at no. 9.)

Recommendation from other captains

you'd be correct

No because it probably can warp your senses like his shikai can if it's 1v1, it prob affects groups differently because obviously more ppl are confused.

it's not useless 1v1. it can't make you win the fight, but it can make you survive when you're horribly outmatched by making your foe not perceive you as an enemy, basically ending the fight.

Not true at all.

Also the killing themselves thing was a lazy way to get around not having to show them all using Bankai.

@katakurifan5213 what's not true? That's what they changed and added to the anime? Did I leave something out?

i feel like you gotta have shinjis but seeing yours it would make sense.

I would love to see a fight between Urahara and Mayuri just to see how they would clash. Because Urahara’s could come up with anything while Mayuri’s can counter anything. It’s interesting to think about the possibilities.

With Toshiro I feel like the placement is fair because he can never start out with his True Power. That’s a glaring caveat despite how broken his True Bankai is.

@@Sasori2105 Exactly.

enlighten everybody here on how in tf byakuya n mayuris bankai r above kenpachis when they are weaker than him in general specially byakuya

Absolutely fair, and I made a mistake by not including Gin's!

@@MrTommo2304 It's fine, I liked your ranking and the reasoning behind them, I was just surprised that you of all people forgot to mention Gin haha.

If his Bankai points to you, you’re dead 💀😂

This is why I think his ranking should be much higher; Ichibei can essentially nullify anything out if existence if he chooses too. Condidering this series, and in general, that's wild stuff. Should be in the top 3 for my money everytime.

Not true I'm 100% sure Lillie has more reiatsu than shunsui and shunsui didn't get drowned so I believe shunsui's bankai only goes to the next step if the opponent can survive the previous one with decapitation being the end game so shunsui is never in any real danger unless he's fight an immortal being

I think you can put it around Urahara’s Bankai because we don’t know the full scope of either really. For the same reasons Mayuri’s is in the honorable mentions you could say the same for Urahara’s.

His bankai takes setup, though. And if the opponent changes abilities in any way after it's used, it needs more setup. Meanwhile Hitsugaya's only needs the initial petal timer to end and then he can just turn abilities off.

that's because it has hollow powers, try fuse Zanka no Tachi with hollow powers or any bankai, it would be as deadly or deadlier than Ichigo's

@@jafnimadzlan2377 And what's a hollow power suppose to do?

@@xenoemblem7 they are basically poison to quincies

​​​​@@xenoemblem7yhwach can't take it, just my opinion but I'm pretty sure Quincy seems to have a bit of weakness to hollow. I mean urahara restore all the captain bankai with hollow power. And ichigo bankai(the old one) can't be taken because he has a hollow power in it.

@@xenoemblem7 they are basically poison to them

I think he had to explain it, I think bleach is one of the anime where explaining your technique gives it strength

Bro is a long lost Vizard😭

I've never seen someone as immersed with the Bleach verse as this man and he says Ichibe is of little threat. Ink won't work if it evaporates. And once his weapon is useless his ability to steal black is going to fall as well or Yama could wear a white shihaksho

@@codywinchester8779I don’t think that’s what the guy meant about Ichibei’s Bankai because it still ranked 6th on the list. It’s still a threat but the Shikai was already so broken the Bankai doesn’t outperform Ichibei’s Shikai as most Bankai(s) do. Like the Shikai literally strips you of your own name making you powerless while the Bankai gives a name. Having a name is honestly better than not lol

​@@codywinchester8779WTF? Was that really what he said? Just because of your agenda you twisted everything he said in the video lol and how does his ink get evaporated when it's not your regular ink and it's conceptual? You Yamamoto fanboys really can't accept someone shown and said to predate all shinigami is stronger than your favorite Yamamoto you make the worst arguments ever and even Yamamoto would know that ichibei would delete him in a battle but his ink is your regular ink that can evaporate and who said his bankai is tied to his all black power? That's just his power kiddo and he can use it anytime he wants and he even said Yamamoto could just wear a white shihakushou lmao 🤣😂. So you think it's only from his clothing he can steal black from lol.

​@@codywinchester8779wait...where the hell did he say ichibei is of little threat?? 🤦

@@lexogun1311You’re mother told us

Actually your wrong absolute zero is no where near as powerful as heat. It's a low energy state where molecules are still moving but just very slowly and energy is still energy. The tiniest of flames counter absolute zero. Any type of warmth or excitement counters absolute zero.

@@Mars_yt699 yeah except he supposedly has some type of haces that makes ywach scared

@emmanuelakande3563 yea but as far as we know it just boosts his physical attributes

I think this is highly feasible that his bankai has a limit. It won't work against Aizen for example.

This just isn't a captain list tho. It does not matter whatever his kiddo skills are. It is only a rating of the bankai. Not overall skill/abilities. Just bankai prowess.

There are stronger

He is already too broken.
