The Vasto Lorde That Aizen Avoided Facing at Full Power: The Original Starrk 

I’m of the opinion that the hogyoku’s effect on Starrk would’ve had to have been a direct result of either his or Aizen’s wishes/desires. This recent revelation makes it seem like Aizen didn’t want him any stronger, though, maybe that was only to protect his other espada and that concern ceased once Starrk joined, in which case Aizen may have enhanced him with it. Otherwise, it depends on whether Starrk still desired to be weaker in order to make friends, or if Lillynette had been enough. If he didn’t feel it necessary anymore, the hogyoku would’ve already indirectly granted his wish by making the others strong enough to be around him. If not, I believe Lillynette is the only result of his self division, and his sword came from the hogyoku, which means his powers were further sealed, and unlike Ulquiorra (the only other natural Arrancar) he didn’t get a second ressureccion, which would mean it made him weaker.

Starkk is a natural vasto lorde he didn't need aizens boost all his abilities were his own

​@@TheDBLANCHARD True hollows evolved even the stages revealed in grimmjows never stop to add to your point.

Yes. According to Kubo, Aizen thought OG Stark would have been “difficult to deal with” and only approached him after he split.

It’s just as likely, if not more so, that Aizen’s concern was for the other Espada (or more accurately his plans for which they were essential) and not so much for himself.

@@zachhughes9149 agreed

​@@lou98t Think more Gillan _ Adjuchas ( Arrancer ) Espada naturally have been born since queen 👑 hallibel reign . Hollow evolution doesn't stop even without the hy

@@AJ-kt5zo I know Barragan, Harribel, Ulquiorra, and Starrk were already Vasto Lorde before they met Aizen.

@@lou98t Thank you for kind reply. It makes me wonder because to your point some had already evolved naturally to vasto-Lorde naturally . Imagine vasto-Lordes or Espada have children with other species or being in the verse considering evolution ✨🧬🧬✨ doesn't even with the hy.

Probably the only way Aizen could get Starrk to actually join him lol

Aizen can only manipulate the senses. He can't influence eotions

@@noxkurosaki4213 IDK. Shenji said Aizen's zanpakuto influenced a target's nervous system. It affected Ywach's sense of time. Maybe it can influence things that directly affect emotions.

​@@thecatsbackyard4833No dude 😂😂😂

He had power level videos?

Yes of the thousands year blood arc before it got animated and they were the best! Him and another RU-vidr both had their own versions both with the best anime music from bleach, Attack On Titan and other sources like Linkin Park and some free to use music but were flagged and taken down around the time the official animated series finally started 😢

Starrk has one of the most varied skillsets in all of Bleach: faster than (almost) everyone, had one of the best swordsmen (Shunsui) on his toes, instant Cero outside of resurreccion, Cero of various speed and strength in resurreccion, conjured energy swords that compete with veteran captains' released zanpakuto, and of course the wolf bombs. No wonder Aizen happily sat on the bench until the moment Starrk went down; there was no Arrancar in-universe who could ever fill Starrk's shoes

Starrk vs Robert would be a cool fight. Two gun users blasting away

@@ross.b8699 Considering Yahweh had to personally deal with Harribel, I guess he had to eliminate Stark on his own as well. Unless Stark slept whole invasion somewhere outside the base, like Grimjow did ))

Think more Gillan ( Adjuchas) Arrancer _ Espada have made or born naturally under queen 👑 hallibel reign because hollow evolution ✨🧬🧬✨ hasn't stop since the war and time skip.

Aren't hollows purified by zanpakuto?? It's only those who were evil while alive who get sent down. It would make more sense for him to become a shinigami...

@@kazemizu There're no examples of Hollows becoming Shinigami

@@Distant_club_99 that is correct, but it doesn't mean it can't happen.

@@kazemizu yeah, it'll be intersting plot, but there's still not enough info about the whole process of purification or sending arrancars to hell, I hope Kubo will return Ulquiorra somehow, even though according to the logic he can't be in hell or soul society. Overall Hell arc can be a big room for greeping plot twists, I'm waiting for it and for CFYOW more than for TYBW continuation.

​@@kazemizu❤

Doesn’t mean he beats the rest in a fight.

@@truthcrusader360 yes he absolutely does. 😂 That's literally what it means. He upscales the rest of the arrancars at least by the HM/FKT Arcs.

@@nor-wood That’s not how Bleach works as it’s not about who is necessarily stronger that wins in a fight.

@@truthcrusader360 tf???? Bleach is a battle shonen, midwit. That's exactly how it works. 😭 Somebody make it make sense.

@@nor-wood Read or properly reread the manga.
