Starkk was done so dirty. Man got jumped by 4 of the oldest captains in the current gen with 2 of them being Hollowfied😭 And anybody who read manga knows how broken Shunsuis bankai is. All against a guy who was lowkey passive and had no real motivation to fight
@@jdizzle1779 Yeah three other captains got involved why would he. But if they didnt and it was a true 1v1 he for sure would have had too. Starrk was literally figuring out the games as he was fighting much to Shisuis surprise. Kageoni is bullshit when you got 3 other people on your ass lol
@@jessebenjaminalvarez4369 ok lets be clear i dont have any head cannon nor am i coping yall gotta relax lmao. It is a clear fact that Shunsui wouldve cleared Starrk no problem with bankai but wouldve literally killed everyone in the area. What im sayin is the vizard captains were indeed not useless because they were drawing attention which is all they need to do. They clearly know how kageoni works and did what they had to do whichis perfectly fine. Its a war and their aint no fair fights 🤷🏾♂️But it is a fact that Starrk is extremely intelligent and figured out the rules mid-fight without a clear explanation and they both were playing around they because they are basically the same dude lol. Ukitake deflecting Ceros was very important and thats how Shunsui was able to dispel the wolves which was huge. It was literally over the moment Lily died. That was Starrks main form of attack. Jushiro is extremely efficient in combat regardless of his illness or he wouldnt be a Captain. Thats not even getting into his true identity in the show which puts him far higher than most characters in the whole verse. His death was indeed sad but in no way was one id try to change or argue “oh he shoulda lived”. He just got done dirty like i said lmao
@@CeroMetralleta1 Starrk lose his motivation when he is alone, poor guy. He just side with wrong group, unlike Barragan, Nnoitra, and Szayelaporro who are obviously pure evil
He's weaker than both. Yammy's final release only buffs his reiatsu by a ton, but it makes him a hell lot slower and useless. Kenpachi probably destroyed him more easily than he took down Nnoitora
Szayelaporro could have been an absolute menace as espada Zero. (For those who didn't know, he was originally the zero espada, but he realized that he was too violent for science so he split himself in two, Szayelaporro and his brother Yylfordt, In one of the light novels theres a clone of his original version called Cien Grantz)
That particular novel isn't canon. Which makes sense as you'd have to ask 1) How does splitting off a single weak ass adjuchas turn him from "Super strong Vasto Lorde" into someone who isn't even strong enough to be an espada. 2) How miss "I can copy any power I've witnessed" managed to witness Mugetsu. Among other problems.
@@MurasakiTsukimaruKubo never confirmed It, but CFYOW is canon and by the same writer. Honestly, Kubo probably likes some things about the first novel, but probably disagrees with other so never confirms It's canocity. It's semi canon imo
Initally, Espada's Resurreccion is based on seven sins, but the idea was scrapped because there is only seven. Yet the idea remains: Arrogante, Ira, Glottoneria, and Fornicaras are the remains of this idea.
sounds like room for 3 new espada level arrancars. Overall all of them can get 2nd release or even learn more powers from Shinigami side like Kido could help them change the way they use Cero to maybe strengthen them instead of just being a ranged blast. I would love to see Hallibel and Grimmjow's 2nd release
Imagine being the supposed “Zero Espada” and Releasing within Las Noches and your resurrection causes less friction within the fortress than Nnoitra’s release. What happened to the top 4 being banned from releasing because Las Noches would be destroyed? 😂
@@splinter360 I say that when there was a yammi fight against the captains, everyone did not care about the rules that Aizen set, Aizen left Hueco Mundo forever so who needs these rules? (the translation was done by google translate so somewhere there may be an incorrect translation)
To be fair, 3 out of 4 of the shikai he faced were his hard counters : _Sogyō no Kotowari reflects Cero Mitralletta ; _Kinshara disrupts the wolves with its whip and soundwaves; _Katen Kyōkotsu is built to take by surprise AND dish out critical damage in one hit. Hell , you can even argue that Tengumaru's fire manipulation and large sweeping attack could have helped !
I still wish we saw the potential of Yammy's 2nd release. Given its rage that powers him he should be theoretically invincible unless he's taken down in one blow but when we last see him he didn't seem to suffer too much damage.
I actually thought that he was gonna be like Doomsday and that the reason why he's number 0 is because he is simply unkillable as he gets stronger the more damage he takes.
@@sourensoukatsui I was hoping for that but it would probably mean adding in random OP powers throughout the whole fight. He definitely has the potential to be even greater.
@@mahadismail9569 wdym starrk deserved number one his spiritual pressure was high enough to destroy hollows around him and he didnt even go all out against shunsui as he didnt want to fight
“Wasn’t even trying”? Kenpachi, who’s fighting style is literally barbaric across entire story, for the only time has to go out of his character, take a stance and calmly concentrate for a hit. That’s something far exceeding “trying”
@@thomus1025Lit. translation is "She-saint Teresa" (Teresa is a Spanish female name) I don't know why choose that name, maybe refering to the saint Teresa of Ávila but I think that it's just because sounds cool and "exotic" lol
No other anime uses a spanish theme so well! I loved the naming of abilities and dont even get me started on the music. Had me at the edge of my seat every time that flamenco dropped, knew it was about to get real.😂
Yeah remember that moment when he use Nemu to revive well this has been censured in the manga he litteraly use Nemu as a mother and that weird tentacule as a way to reproduct himself with her(he lay an egg on her belly and that egg eat all of her internal organs)that not a joke in the manga he say that chapter 303 if you ask this Espada is disturbing as hell
I loved this arc of Bleach, to the character designs and abilities and plot. Might be my favorite lowkey. The animation also started getting gas around the Noitora fight. One of my favorite moments in Bleach honestly such a vibe
Thank you for posting this video. It’s hard remembering them all there’s just so many and then you got the Shikai and Bankai releases. Even as a huge Bleach fan. I miss some of them occasionally. It’s interesting that Szayeloporro and Barragan’s releases are different, depending if you’re listening to the English, or Japanese version.
I can definitely understand why the Japanese VA never tried to do the call-outs in Spanish (I.E. pray, growl, enclose, sip) because there’s too many r’s in the Spanish language and with Japanese the R is replaced because it kinda doesn’t exist with an almost L like sound so (examples encerrar = enclose rezar = pray molar = growl sorbo = sip) it wouldn’t sound right with the Japanese way of saying them so glad they used their way of saying them and they swap the the sound between L’s and R’s
I think ulquiorra simply was able to separate his resureccion into 2 forms as a way to not fully use his release. Split it into two forms like how frieza split his full power into forms that gradually released more power. His initial release looks nothing like his true hollow form unlike the rest of the espada releases which take a strong liking to their original hollow body. I think his defunds wraps is the true resurrecion.
His segunda etapa is clearly still way stronger than all other espada tho. Also Starrk has the exact same "non-holo" look. I do understand what ur getting at but I believe its literraly like a bankai for Espada and the others just don't have it.
I'mma be honest, they dropped the ball with a few of these. Like Yammy? Boring as hell. He didn't have an interesting shtick. Stark? Kinda neat but he honestly shoulda been no. 2.
starrk was actually quite op but he wasn't looking for fights. he was lonely and wanted companions. he was so affected by the lost of his comrades and he wished to have never met kyoraku shunsui in this circumstance because they both knew they would have gotten along well. i agree with yammy though, all he had was brute strength and massive reiatsu. the top 4 espadas can easily take him out 1v1.
@@ethannn4067 I'm not speaking so much in universe as out. Like, I don't question whatever arbitrary power level they were assigned by the author. Like, based on gimmick and aesthetic, Stark didn't strike me as a "no. 1".
@@Mahbu Yes, Starrk was very poorly used, so many underestimate him. But think about it, when Aizen met him the first time He was already a Vasto Lord and a perfect Arrankar to boot. Unlike Barragan and Hallibel who were vast lords and became arrankar with the power of hogyoku. Ulquiorra was already a vast lord and became an arrankar but it is not clear if he shared his power by breaking his mask.
@@Mahbui think they went for the "hes nunber 1 but dislikes fighting" trope. Also i liked his personality bcuz it showed the arrancars arent all just battle hungry monsters. All he wanted was comrades that wouldn't leave him alone.
Huh. I kinda agree with you. Like, forget the lore, or the power scaling, or of that. Creativity-wise, Starrk does feel... well... boring, I guess. Oh, he's strong, that's his schtick, but I dunno, I kinda wanna see more from the Primera Espada. From design/ability wise, I honestly think that Barragan should've been number one (ignoring reiatsu and all that stuff). Personally it'll keep the theme of Number 1 themed characters having creative/awesome powers, like Yama-jii then later on Shunsui (Captains of Squad *1*), the Schrifts of A (Yhwach and Uryu, and Haschwalth's B too I think), and of course Ichibe's control over names. Barragan's power is cool, rotting and disintegrating things. Starrk's... not really, he just resorted to shooting a lot more stronger Cero than his previous form. I still think he's cool though, especially his Beyond Resurrecion form. tl;dr I think Baraggan should've No. 1 on account of having a cooler power (ignoring reiatsu-based numeration). I know I know... it's useless making an argument over something that's already happened. I just want to put my two cents in.
I really didn't like it. The espada were meant to be the pinnacle of hollow and he was apparently the strongest one but was used for comedic beats. Cheapened the so called threat for me
@@bobbycoleman-co7mc I hear you Bobby. Alot of Bleach is open to interpretation. I'd argue are the other numbers based on physical strength? Probably not, just have to do our own guess work
@@jdizzle1779THIS! So many people threw Yammy under the bus but like if the reveal never happened no one would be upset, but since he’s 0 you would expect him to have some kinda power, not be a chump, also how did Ichigo injure this guy? Why take orders from number fkin 4 if you 0, like it’s so inconsistent, you can SEE tite kubo changing things midway for a “shocking” twist.
People underestimate Starrk He vs 4 Captain 2 Vizored captain Ukitake, his hard counter Shunsui, the unorthodox captain and 2nd most powerful Captain after Yamamoto
For me ulquiorra is the strongest espada. It paints one of the scariest pictures with its calmness and backstory. He's on a completely different level than the others. Aizen probably knew that too.
Tite Kubo sprinkled so many hints that Yachiru was Kenpachi's zanpakuto throughout Bleach. Stark's release, the whole zanpakuto arch, the fact she could touch his blade unharmed, her appearing out of nowhere often in the direct vicinity of Kenpachi.
@@spoderspidercow6480 so each and every arrancar gets a 10x power increase when they transform just like a Bankai? Makes me wish the Espada seemed more Op then what was presented.
@@seanstuckey4849 huh? They already are. All Espada reign over their aspect of death as when Barragán explained it to Soi Fon, so they can attack someone at a conceptual level. Iirc either unmasked or CFYOW (might double check) says that when hollows turn into arrancars, their aspect of death fully awakens.
actually, an arrancar's resurreccion is equivalent to a bankai. ulquiorra's segunda etapa is the second stage of his resurreccion. out of all the espada's, he's the only one who managed to reach a second stage in his released form.
@@ethannn4067 Yammy's Wrath transformation is basically a second step. Your reiatsu explodes and your body changes. Although I don't think Yammy is as strong as the first four ESPADAS
The espada are ranked according to strength. Yammy's ressurection works by storing strength and releasing it at once, which is why he is so weak, unreleased, but gets extremely powerful when released. So his unreleased form is by far the weakest, so he gets ranked 10, but the espada starts from 9, so his number changes to 0 when he releases his sword.
Ulqiorra also loses his number in segunda etapa, showing he’s stronger than yammy, so the espada rankings are bs but we js have to look deeper into it.
@@RB-mm7ce Considering hollows and arrancars are the biggest counter to quincy's I'd say yes most of the stern ritters would get destroye, there are a couple tho who are really strong and they could most likely beat the espada like Gremmy or Haschwalth
@@andrei-cezarbleaje5519 Ichibei isn't a captain. Also Zaraki was pretty strong at that point. To the point where him and Yamamoto were the only ones Aizen tried to avoid fighting. He had zero problems fighting the rest of the captains, but he specifically avoided fighting Zaraki and Yama.
