ALL 30 Bankai RANKED WEAKEST TO STRONGEST | BLEACH Ranking 

If Rose kept his mouth shut. He would have probably won.

I actually think Ichigo, in terms of raw power, was the strongest. Ywhach was not scared of Ichibe but he was of Ichigo

Ikkaku has a false bankai imo which is why it's so crap, prone to breaking and 'asleep' when activated. Only reason I can think his zanpacto doesn't respect him is the his reaction to being defeated by Kenpachi when they first met, the old Ikkaku would have trained to get stronger then try and kill him again, instead Ikkaku decided he wanted to die as Kenpachi's subordinate. Due to this I don't think we'll ever see his true bankai, he's been happily living in Kenpachi's shadow far too long now for anything to change.

Unohana was literally bringing Kenpachi back to life; Very likely she had control over life and death.

BAN KAI is a word I just desperately want to hear from Ukitake, Nimaya, Hikufune, Kirinji, Isshin and Aizen

“I apologize to the 2 Renji fans out there…” lol. Being one of those 2 fans, I should be offended. But it’s just too funny 😂

one thing I'd like to just note about zanka no tachi is while we saw all it's abilities sure we didn't actually ever get to see it's true power, as Yamamoto was not only nerfed by nearly it not more than half, but he was also restraining himself heavily and going through the abilities fast to not destroy the soul society with his bankai. the closest we get to ever actually seeing it's true power is just flashbacks

Unohana was dogging out Kenpachi so bad before she used her BanKai, one could argue she had to activate it just to keep him from dying while she played around with him.

Shuutara's was quite the wild card surprise and a perfect close to the season. Ironic that she then was disturbed/disgusted when she found out the truth about what they where guarding with the Spirit King when Ichibei recounted the story in CFYOW's opening. She sure did not like what she was hearing, especially how the King was gouged even after he cooperated and gave in to all of the ancestor's demands.

I will never stop manifesting Isshin, Ukitake, and Aizen’s Bankai to be animated in cour 3 and 4 (Also hoping for Love’s Bankai to be revealed hehe 😉)

I like how the lower parts of the list all have their drawbacks mentionned heavily, while the top part almost none at all being mentionned. Like Zanka threatening to destroy the very fabric of Soul Society, or Shunsui almost "slumbering" to his death at the end of his bankai.

ngl, I was really wondering what the lowest rank would be, and when the reveal came I only then remembered Ikkakku had a bankai at all lmao

No explanation for putting zanka no tachi rank 7 You must be crazy

*Aizen’s Bankai* must be shown one day, pleaseeee *Kubo* 😭 Idc if it isn’t powerful, I just wanna see its existence.

If we take the Bankai in a vacuum and ignore the characters who use them (or for example, say that we take a person, clone him 29 times so they have the exact same strength, skills, abilities, intelligence etc and give all 30 one of these Bankai each…) 1.) Tensa Zangetsu- The raw stat buff the user would get would make their spiritual energy so high that literally all of the other hax, abilities and stat buffs don’t matter and they’d just blitz and one shot everyone else here. It’s also implied to have an unspoken ability as ‘The Blade with the strength to shatter fate’ which lines up with how Yhwach, who controls fate, was defeated 2.) Mature Daiguren Hyorinmaru- This Bankai gives the second biggest raw physical and spiritual energy stat buff out of all Bankai in the series (Think about the difference between Shikai Toshiro…not Immature Bankai Toshiro, but Shikai Toshiro and Adult Toshiro). On top of that insane stat buff, the user has conceptual power null hax, can freeze all forms of matter including raw spiritual energy, can flash freeze anything with a hand wave, can freeze anything that touches their body or sword, can manipulate the weather, can freely control all moisture in the air from beyond a 7 mile AOE radius etc, can seal people stronger than them in ice that they can’t escape from the inside…again with each ice attack being able to conceptually power null whoever is frozen by it. 3.) Senjumaru’s Bankai- While I can’t say this Bankai gives a massive power boost as she was sealed prior to using it rather than simply just jumping from the level she was shown to her Bankai level. But the insane hax this Bankai has shown with seemingly showing the targets fate, perfectly countering their abilities, and then sealing them seems like an ability that’s damn near impossible to stop without a massive ‘Reiatsu negates hax’ power difference. 4.) Hisagi’s Bankai- The great equalizer. This is one of the few abilities in Bleach that could ignore the ‘Stronger Spiritual Energy negs the hax of weaker spiritual energy’ rule. The difference is the Bankai above it all have some kind of fate or conceptual hax that could potentially shut this Bankai down, but other than that, it’s a guaranteed draw. And securing the death of any other opponent on the list below despite not surviving themself is still powerful as a stand-alone ability. 5.) Azashiro’s Bankai- If you know about SAFWY then this is sort of self explanatory. Probably the Bankai with the most hax (not the most potent hax as there’s no fate manipulation or conceptual abilities like the 3 above it), and all are dangerous. Most notably intangibility, fusionism with AOE making an area the size of the Seireitei your Domain Expansion essentially, energy absorption/stat reduction for enemies/stat amplification for the user, durability negation via internal destruction etc I’m not gonna explain all 30 and just leave that top 5, but others in the top 10 would be Mayuri’s TYBW adaption based Bankai, Yamamoto’s, Kenpachi’s, Urahara’s, Rose’s etc, not sure what order. Keep in mind it’s the Bankai themselves snd not the actual users The reason why Ichibei isn’t high up is that his Bankai is *literally* useless without his Shikai, and it’s ability is actually redundant. If you already take away their name with the Shikai, why use the Bankai to rewrite them and give them a new name when they’re already essentially powerless with the Shikai? If it were ranking zanpakuto as a whole package than Ichimonji is top 5 for sure, but with just Bankai in a vaccum? Nah not cutting it

Something to note about toshiro's bankai is that everything that is cut by his sword will lose their functions not everything he freezes which explains why gerard's miracle was still active even after being frozen because he wasnt cut by the sword.

Thanks for the content bro real chill and I can do my work while listening to some sweet bleach lore

2:35 Ikkaku's Bankai feel like something unfinished - we know that he and Yumichika have issues with their swords, due to their own nature not being fully embraced. Hopefully in Hell Arc we could see Ikkaku use the bankai that is now honed and trained. And there is good chance for him to finally upgrade it. Now that Kenpachi has his sword and Bankai ability - there is no excuse for Ikkaku to not train it. In fact he probably should train with Kenpachi to hone both abilities. Both Ikkaku and Yumichika are from similar generation to Renji, so it's very likely they both had unfinished Bankais, due to their lack of experience and proper usage of their swords. And it's about time for Zaraki to acknowledge his underlings are stopping their own progress - he needs to teach them the lesson Unohana did for him. 3:15 Sword is always a reflection of the user. Ikkaku is lazy, he also is overly rough around the edges. It's very likely his own body needs to grow stronger to be on par with his Bankai for him to fully utilise it. It's a giant destructive weapon. He needs to be able to use it, he needs to train. Kinda similar to Rukia having to learn how to survive in the absolute zero death transe. And as it is all power - very likely the stronger he becomes, the sword will also answer to his power rise. Maybe if he works on his laziness - his bankai may need lesser time to actually activate full potential. 3:40 Well that's a understatement - Byakuya actually needs a lot of control and brain fortitude to operate Senbonzakura properly. It's extremely dangerous bankai that can cut him or his allies with ease - that's why he even made the defensive bubble, to not even risk getting damaged by his own blades. 4:00 Unironically could be because it's not his true Bankai and it's not really listening to him. Or it is an intended use of his sword - it's meant to be fragile. it's meant to break. Could have secondary use or ability he hasn't found yet - similarly to what Gin's sword was. Ikkaku is extremely durable and has a lot of stamina - a fragile sword wouldn't make sense, unless it had some other uses. I mean his Shikai is also breakable and has some extra tricks hidden in them. Like the hilt having extra space for healing balms. This should have been reflected in the bankai in some way. It could also be like Komamura's bankai or Toshiro's bankai - it's true destructive power being hidden within Ikkaku himself. Maybe the shell of the sword is nothing than a seal that can be used as conduit for the pure power it has. But it maybe has a secondary form after getting broken. Or maybe the more the sword gets destroyed - more power is brought back into Ikkaku instead. Possibilities are endless. I genuinely wish Kubo wasn't the type of author that loves keeping all the details out, unless necessary for the plot progression. 8:30 Not gonna lie - I agree with that placement. But then also, I feel like Shinji himself hasn't fully trained his bankai either. We know how much he focuses on his Vizard and Shikai abilities. He even mentions how he expands the levels of reversal on his Shikai - now even reversing the words spoken to his enemies. I would argue that there may be some area to evolve and change the abilities of his bankai. Maybe lower the range so it only affects some of his opponents, keeping it safe for nearby allies. Maybe he could work a way to make his allies aware of the abilities and actively counterbalance their effect. We really don't know how exactly it works - there may be some factors that could allow for customisation. Especially with Urahara's or Mayuri's help, there could be some ways to use it. Also there may be some other hidden uses for it. We know that his Shikai affects senses. His bankai does something else - it likely reverses someone's feelings/memories. Maybe it isn't just that, maybe he could reverse some other similar concepts. Like let's go out of the box as far as we can - how about reversing someone's perception of being safe and unsafe, reversing their instincts. This way opponent could actively run into the sword to stay safe. But then again that wouldn't really help with the range and getting his friends affected by it. But there definitely have to be some other workarounds, aside the idea that he needs to be alone against a lot of adversaries. 18:00 The thing is - this is one of those Bankai like Komamura's and Soifon's where the user is really the actual source of its power. You could argue, Komamura after becoming Immortal for short period of time, or if he would train to be faster or learned how to infinitely heal - his bankai would be disgusting in power. Soifln's became "better" after she trained to sustain the shockwave and use it multiple times. But now imagine if it was someone with Ichigo's speed or Yamamoto's or Aizen's reiatsu levels. The explosion could probably be bigger and deadlier. She could run into the enemy and fire it point-blank if she was more durable and fast and strong enough to move with it. And with Aizen's reiatsu she probably could fire it in quick succession, expanding the range and chances to hit. Especially if it allowed her for infinite explosions. Kensei needs to touch someone and keep the diatance and touch for extended time. Any faster or stronger opponent would overpower him. It's not really the bankai that is super good - its his own abilities. 19:55 For me Rose's bankai may be on similar level to Senjumaru's. It's as versatile - the difference is power scaling, experience and sheer creativity. He could materialise a lot with this power, with only one weakness, that potentially could even been overcome with some technology and training. 23:35 Funniest part is that - if Unohana used Tosen's bankai, she would be undefeated - he literally just needed to use different weapon or kido and keep his sword away from his opponent. 28:10 Not gonna lie - I would probably put it higher. His bankai is fast, long and is just a quick giant stinger with one of the deadliest, if not deadliest poisons available. It's literally what Soifon wishes her Bankai was. It literally only failed against a godly being that surpassed any Shinigami and even then - Aizen would have been defeated if not for endless capabilities of Hogyoku. 43:00 Well Lille Barro at his strongest - still only shoot things. Mayuri's body is liquid, he had the counter when he fought Uryuu and he probably could also survive and heal himself enough to create some level of reflection against Lille. He probably would use a poison that destroys/confuses Lille's perception - leading to him shooting himself. And it's kinda easy to assume what Lille's power can do - assuming worst scenario, he will be doing giant bullet holes, cause he holds giant rifle. And in his biblical accurate form - Mayuri probably would have time to hide with some decoys to thing of a plan. And when it comes to Balance, well - he still probably could somehow overcome the ability. It needs to be some way activated, so maybe that's his window of action. Or maybe he could abuse the rules for the Balance, to only allow bad luck for himself, basically limiting Hashwalt's offensive to anything but his shrift. 54:30 Technically absolute zero is the temperature that nothing can actually reach. It's the border that would stop every matter to stop moving on molecular level. But that's not possible due to uncertainty principle and randomness of the reality on the lower scales - the creation and annihilation of particle-antiparticle pairs on itself will throw any system out of the absolute zero. We can try approaching it, but never actually achieving. And it's kinda reflected in Rukia's use of her ability. She flash-freezes the whole area, but it's only a fragment of a second, before the temperature rises once again. Even in the game universe, where she can move within her Bankai - she very likely isn't ever operating on prolonged absolute zero. 56:13 Well we don't know that - it's very likely it can be countered with extreme heat. Similarly how Yamamoto's abilities nullified Toshiro's. With enough heat, you probably could survive the freeze nuke. And we know it's range is limited and it's quite fast event, as Byakuya almost immediately comes back to her after it's activation. And only being slightly frostbitten when he directly touches her. 59:40 One thing to add to Urahara's bankai is that - we know that it's not an offensive power. He tells us that. And it's very likely that his powers are also limited to the swiftness of his thinking and application of new strategies. It won't heal and counter everything, if he can't think of the solution before the attack happens. And he can't cause as devastating damage as in his Shikai state. It's very similar to Mayuri's in that aspect. 1:00:26 It makes you wonder - is Kyouraku's sword limited only to certain level of child games and stage plays? Or is it only those that he learned, trained and deemed useful that he uses - but his arsenal is limitless. This is the thing that could define the idea of how strong this bankai is. This could be another variant of the bankais Rose and Senjumaru have - a "do-it-all" bankai that is only limited by experience and creativity of the user. 1:20:10 There is issue with Ichibe's bankai though - it has a limit. Either it was time or power or fate, his swords abilities has been lifted from Ikomikidomoe right before Kenpachi slain it, allowing it to remember it's own original name. Similarly Yhwach was ability to use All Mighty to counter it fully. And it's very likely that adaptive abilities or negation abilities could counter it. Antithesis and Benihime Aratame, being good examples of that.

Top Quality stuff as always !!!! I hope we get more Bankai reveals in Cour 3 🎉❤😊

Gin's bankai has to be MUCH higher. The final command is "kill". That alone makes it AMAZING. He could easily have killed Ichigo if he wanted to.

That was really great video and very well explained 👍🏾

Actually with Minazuki the regen is not part of Unohana's Bankai but her ability to heal as a Shinigami, she even admited it. The fact that Kenpachi was near dead and came back alive wasn't because of her Bankai's regen ability but her Bankai's destructive ability and her expertise in healing powers using kido

Seriously this is the best video of top bankai who i have seen you are the first person to understand and explain the true power of hitsugaya's bankai

"Shin'uchi" is not the name of Ichibe's Bankai, but his word for the concept of Bankai before the word "Bankai" existed; it translates to "True Strike". Ichibe's Bankai is named "Shirafude Ichimonji" which translates to "White Brush Straight Line".

THANK YOU SO MUCH for getting unohana's bankai right and for not saying it was acid. People took that "melting away" scene literally when it happened when it was just a metaphor.

Just cause I'm sure im gonna see a million comments about Aizen's potential Bankai being OP. I want to throw out a counter. Aizen, who would have no reason to hold back against Yamamoto, wasn't certain that he could defeat him even with all his power. Why would he not factor in using Bankai? Subsequently, when Aizen faced off against Yhwach, why would he hold himself back and not use it? The truth is that he wouldn’t. Now, there is the idea that Aizen fusing with his Zanpakutō makes him naturally above the state of Bankai, but I'm going to go with the idea that isnt the case. Instead, im going with thr theory that Aizen's Bankai isnt useful in battle. My theory has always been that Aizen's Shikai has always been about showing lies to those who witness it, only Aizen can see the truth of it. What if his Bankai simply shows Aizen "the truth." It breaks away all the illusions he has about the world and reveals to him the reality. My belief is this is how he learned the true nature of the Soul King, and an even stronger reason as to why he never used it in combat; why would he?

This may just be me hoping for great things in the eventual Hell arc, but I hope and wish that all the Captains and Vice Captains as well as any other Vice Captain/Captain level Shinigami outside of Sereitei get some training from the Royal Palace. They're already considered the weakest generation of captains/vice captains and they'll be pitted against all the strong threats in Hell from former Shinigami to former Espada to maybe even former Sternritter if Kubo goes that route. There is no way they should be THAT severely underpowered

I love the long videos on anime and especially bleach!! I enjoy your content bro!!

Bro there is no justifcation to put the old mans bankai at 7th

My question is that does Mayuri’s bankai have to witness the power of the opponent first hand or does Mayuri have just know about the opponent’s ability and input it into the bankai?

Awesome video. Thank you!!

I guess you must’ve forgotten that with Hisagi’s Bankai is that they can not kill each other but an outside force can kill them. If I’m not mistaken for example: say Hisagi and Yamaji were fighting and he released his Bankai against Yama then Someone could come and kill one of them while they’re connected. It’s ability is that it can’t kill anyone that is connected through the Bankai but someone else could kill them.

As one of the two renji fans seeing his false Bankai in not last is a win in my book

Kenpachis bankai is so overrated it has no abilities just a power boost

I don’t like how the list just rates the strength shown in the show rather than the potential of the actual bankai

I actually think this is the best rating i have ever seen and i really agree with it

toshiro from 22 to the top 3 is some respect to his bankai :)🤔

We need more bankais like toshiro tbh, they are usually a domain expansion type technique or a powerhouse. I also wanna ask if you can analyze the so called plot holes or plot armor moments of bleach if possible

Amazing video. I can never pick a favorite Bankai, but i really like Uruhara's

Great video

Urahara is the batman of the bleach universe with his preptime he could win almost any fight if he can think of the right plan

Take a shot every time he says bankai Two for shikai May god help you with the eventual alcohol poisoning

great video

you deserve more subscribers man.

Maan I hope the Hell Arc shows us massive improvements and unseen bankai

So, would you ever consider doing a best design character list?

Great vid TBH

It was a long video but i enjoyed it ❤❤

Ikkaku's bankai is just Kenpachi's shikai just with extra steps.

8:13 Ahh sadness. My favorite Bankai is Low. *Loving the video tho* 🥷🏻🖤

I hate that it stopped there LOL. Great video

considering how kurayashiki powers work it seems it would be a perfect fit for the unusual powers of the Zero Squad

Rukia couldn't move when she used the Bankai because this was the first time she used it, but if her body is in harmony with it and trained, she will be able to move.

Renjis shikai & old bankai are not the strongest but they have been used tactical and are very versatile. Hitsugayas shikai & bankai, Byakuyas shikai & bankai, Rengikus shikai, Uraharas shikai, kyorakus shikai, etc can be used tactically, & have been used tactically. Even though they aren't the strongest. 👍

👏🏾👍🏾 thanks mate because i lost track 😅

Great video I'm curious where you would have placed Bashin, the filler 3rd captain, and ginjo bankais

we shoulda had some kinda dragon Bankai dawg

Hearing your explanation of what happens after kurayashiki uses his bankai kinda explains why he was invited to the zero division. If he couldnt use any of his zanpakuto abilities he prolly created something to substitute for that. Or it could just be that he was that strong so the wanted him to join.

One thing to note though... You're looking at the bankai as weapons against the schutzstaffel/arrancar, but honestly those are things that arent really... what the gotei is for if you think about it. yes, they're op but going back to basics the captains were most likely expected to fight menos grande, or maybe even large amounts of lesser hollow - which brings up the use of things like Kokujou tengen myou, or even shinji's bankai.

Yo bro you are my top RU-vidr right behind seereax, I love your flow

Perhaps thats not Ikaku's Bankai's Full Power 🤔

My Theory of Unohana Bankai is that it makes her enjoy battle for eternity. Making her unkillable and make the world around her a weapon or substance she can manipulate. It's activation is her running her hand across the blade showing she doesn't fear injury or death because she's in complete control and she is her opponents death dealer. Once Kenpachi showed he was no longer bound she releases it and accepts death having survived her "purpose", she desires death so her blade accepts it. Zaraki Bankai is like a variation of hers but instead of being a domain it takes over him as a individual.

To add after watching the video I may disagree with some rankings but the points you used to argue why very good 10/10

I completely disagree on some bankais placements but accept your thoughts and reasoning cause you did make some valid points but the top 4 you are spot on

The issue is now how do we know characters like Ikkaku Bankai are their "True" bankai or not. Even some of the captains Bankai could later be changed that it isn't their full level and like Ichigo and Renji they may only be using a fraction of its power. I think the true ranking of Bankai is the base power and skill of wielder. For its an extension of them. We see certain things like Soi Fon bankai, which is technically a one hit kill Bankai(an advancement of its two hit kill shikai) not work effectively for a more powerful opponent. Even Shinji Bankai, for example, if he was in triple threat against stronger sternritters, would likely have no or little effect.

Tosen can still hear when he’s using his Bankai so technically Rose’s Bankai would still work on him

11:08 shinji bankai is great vs hollows and strong hollows but thats basically it. its specifically for mass 1 vs everyone situations like shown in the anime. its not a rare situation that it would be strong just bad for dualing which the anime is mostly about.

Good video

Technically Tossen is the greatest challange to Aizens Kyouka suigetsu since he can't see his shikai release

Not all characters in bleach can regenerate their ears like mask de masculine. Kinshara Butodan needs to be a lot higher.

No but seriously tho the ability to freeze... literally any other abilities kinda insane

This video also is, in a sort of round about way, also explaining why the characters tend to use other means besides just bankai to win their fights like kido and such. Not all bankais are available for every situation. Some, like ikkakus are quite cumbersome and risky to use. Others like kenpachis can exert tremendous strain on the user themselves.

Its crazy to think Aizen is not on this list...... I am starting to think he doesn't use it cause it nerfs him somehow

Hisagi being at #4 came as a shock to me, throughout the video i was getting hella confused as to why Hisagi wasn't there especially when you got to #5 and i saw Ichigos True Bankai, at that point i thought you'd forgotten about Hisagi. Then suddenly hearing Hisagis at #4 above ICHIGO?! However after your explanation it became clear as to why you put him there and honestly i'm hella happy about it. CFYOW was one of the best Novels I've ever read and Hisagi was such a great character. Anyway, great video, keep up the good work 💯🔥

Can't wait to see where you've placed my favorite thank you brother by the way my favorite is kokujo yengen myooo

video was amazing, as always. I have one gripe with it tho. i cant see how rukias was so far ranked ahead of toshiros when they both share the same weakness. rukia can freeze to absolute zero, but the draw backs are her mobility as well as her own body not being able to handle it. toshiro on the other hand, his mature bankai's only real flaw is that it takes time to devlop. mature bankai toshiro had feats against a stonger gerard valkrie when compared to BANKAI KENPACHI whom you ranked in the top 10 (fair enough). Toshiro also has flash freeze which can be argued to be a more efficient ability than rukias absolute zero due to it completly disabling the abilities of his opponents. and due to him being able to move around freely, it is equally just as good of an ability as absolute zero. my main issue is that when you compare the pros and cons of rukias and toshiros bankais respectively, they are definitely at the absolute bare minimum, relative to each other. if you are going to rank toshiro so low due to his inexperience with the bankai and the fact that it has flaws due to him being inexperienced, why isnt rukia rated around his level for the EXACT SAME reasons. U the big g of bleach content tho much love and respect

As much as I admire and appreciate you commentary, I urge you to pay attention to the double comparatives and superlatives that you throw in here and there, such as "most mightiest" and more deadlier "

Rukia's Hakka no Togame is so freaking beautiful. My favorite Bankai until Katen Kyōkotsu Karamatsu Shinjū is adapted

I thing i like to point out is that ichibeis bankai is not called shinuchi that is the term use for bankai existed in bleach ichibeis bankai name is just Shirafude ichimonji

I ain't going to nag at you, just very surprised seeing Senbonzakura Kageyoshi at 14 rather than higher. Honestly though, it's really not a matter of it being in the 14th spot negatively as it is more so that the final 15 are just all amazing. Wonderful video!

Rip Shusuke Amagai :( While waiting for Aizen Ukitake Isshin Love etc, I have to say that I agree overall with your reasoning and the most of placements, but not on everything, especially the order of some. Hakka no Togame is overrated, it's powerful indeed, but I see it as stronger version of Hitsugaya's Hyoten Hyakkaso for the way it's executed. Like that, even if the range is large, any fast opponent can easily get far away from it. As Nodt was almost a non moving target, while Harribel against Toshiro tried (stupidly) to contrast the snowfall. That said, if catched is indeed more deadly, at zero absolute, but if Rukia fails in the one shot, she becomes a super easy target after doing bankai, just a simple attack on her will cause her to crack, suffering very serious consequences. Strong but with high risk, for me out of the top10. Then you spoke rightly about context, preparations or costs, etc, but l don't get a passage. For the effect itself, the bankai of Kuruyashiki should be one of the strongest. Gagaku Kairo is a sort of temporary Mugetsu, a huge power in one release, that is hinted to be absolute and with an unescapable wide range, but at cost of losing in this case zanpakuto powers for 6 months. Let's add that Kuruyashiki was probably on Zero level, as he was invited to join them, so that's broken and stop, very few in the show will survive to it. Don't get me wrong, I get your reasoning, but then why then place the mature Daiguren Hyorinmaru so high? Like ignoring Hitsugaya has to wait and survive long enough to reach his adult form, as he can't actually enter it directly. That's a great downside, is like a "cost" he needs to pay for the activation itself, and you posed a similar weakness for Mayuri's new bankai. Different in the context, but the same as him, Hitsugaya would not be able to survive long enough against a string opponent that's really aiming to kill him head on (with Gerard he took time as it was a battle royale). So, not worthy of the top3, for how it is, let's speak again in a hundred years On the other hand, I agree on Hisagi's bankai being so high, because if worked even on Hikone, thousands way stronger that Shuhei, it proves that difference of reiatsu isn't a matter, and he can stall nearly everyone in the verse (stall, drain both reiatsu, but not win). Last thing, Urozakuro, Azashiro's bankai, another big card that should have been in top10. Now I've read SAFWY a long time ago, but this ability of merge with everything is totally broken, grants to him too many advantages, and has an immense range too. The weakness is that he feels everything and powers that concerns reishi absorption (I recall it was mentioned even Ruriro Kukaku) are dangerous for him in that state, but still, is down the context. Azashiro has a huge reiatsu as well, at point that intervened the Zero the first time. He lost to Zaraki down the context, because the same technique he used to kill Kuruyashiki (merging with his body) didn't work that monster of Zaraki, he left room to him and lost his composure, using also shikai for first time against him. I recall that Aizen said he could have won, if acting differently. That said, the ability of merge with the opponent's body and kill him from the inside is broken, I say that it would be an istakill for the most of characters, as not everyone has the physique of Zaraki, the fluid composition of Mayuri, or an Hogyoku inside them. PS: even if for the moment I agree on Senjumaru's bankai ranked so high, it's a partial analysis. We still don't know of it has any weakness, but that she will lose is certain. It makes sense to be for the reversal power of Uryu, but we have to see.

I shit you not, when you said let's get to number 30 I instantly said Ikakku then I started freaking out cuz it was him fr😂😂😂

Kuruyashiki's bankai was actually never seen in the light novels and even in brave souls that was his shikai not bankai. But according to Azashiro his bankai could have killed him so that Urazakuro's hax would not work on it.

Great video as ever with top 30 rank BANKAI, then can we expect there will be a top ranking video of the SHIKAI.😊

Will you make a video ranking the Quincy?

Are you crazy Gin's bankai below Sasakibe's

just making me more excited for bleach!!! do you think they'll reveal any Viazard Bankais in the future?

To be fair it is stated that it normally takes at least ten years to actually master bankai so it would be interesting to see the lowest two if they had had decades to truly master bankai first

Imma be honest Gins Bankai is way better than Kenpachis Its fast, One shots and doesnt impact the area like rukias So you can use it in Team Fights Its far better than kenpachi

I don't understand why you'd say shinjis bankai is useless 1:1. An enemy would still see him as a friend when he activated it, so his enemy would stand there trusting him until he stabbed him. Sounds pretty decent 1:1 to me

Something interesting to me is if there were to be a hypothetical fatal 4 way fight amongst ichibe, senjumaru, toshiro, and shinsui, given the nature of there canceling/negate ban Kai, who would cancel who? The first strike would most like be important.

I'd like to think that Ikkaku has only scratched the surface of his Bankai's true power or he only knows how to summon a flawed version of it, same as Renji did for a time.

I'm not mad or disappointed I just realized you didn't put hikone Zanpakuto There's a lot of debate On weather it is a bankai but It is There's nothing to suggest otherwise it's creation was before The Name bankai It has an annoying long phrase like a bunch of old Zanpakuto There's nothing suggesting otherwise But will you rank The resurrection of the Hollows?

I think you forgot to consider Byakuya's reiatsu level. There's no way Rukia's bankai would be stronger than that of Byakuya when considering their reiatsu level. Byakuya is a noble with extremely high reiatsu with can negate Rukia's abilities. I think byakuya should be higher than Rukia due to experience, reiatsu level and overall abilities. It doesn't make sense that Rukia's bankai is stronger than Byakuya when byakuya has higher reiatsu. Higher reiatsu means that he might not be affected by Rukia's cold.

Honestly awesome list, it's a really difficult one to make. Poor Shinji. But I understand the logic lmao

After seeing TYBWA, i've had this thought that maybe, Unohana's bankai transports herself and her opponents into the stomach of Minazuki (the giant manta ray thing). Hence the almost instantaneous regeneration.

Shinji’s bankai shouldn’t be that low

Fun Fact: Aizen Shikai is stronger than most Bankai on the list

When I reached the top 3, I really thought Yumichika’s bankai would be in the second place, since it wasn’t shown lower (forgot about Senjumaru)

Was Enrakyoten mentioned or did I just miss it? If so, what place would it have?
