Forum:Faccion Power

OK ive been wondering does the power level of the espada dictate the power level of their faccion? Now it seems off because Starrk's faccion Lillynette seems probably the least powerful of all but maybe thats because of how powerful he is and the vast majority of the power between the two as they are separate but the same, resides in Starrk. It seems the lieuteants had a hard time taking on Harribel's and Barragan's. I dont really count Grimmjaws in because their opponets where on limiters and it was the first time arrancar had seriously fought shinigami of course the power level is suspposed to look different but in the end it seemed they were relatively week if not for the others being limited and worn down the entire battle.Salubri 17:36, 9 August 2009 (UTC)

Well, I think I'm correct in saying that Espada get to pick their fraccion, whether or not that would mean primera gets first pick and so forth I'm not sure, but to me it'd make sense for a stronger espada to pick a stronger fraccion (as a status symbol at the very least, though I doubt that's the case.)

"in the end it seemed they were relatively week if not for the others being limited and worn down the entire battle." Remember, Ikkaku fought *without* a limiter and it was still a fight even after he went bankai. D-Roy was weak but he was also caught off-guard, unreleased, by a restrictionless pretty much lieutenant level fighter's shikai special ability. Even at 1/5th, Toshiro and Renji losing end with bankai out was impressive. Renji did comment that the restriction removal did take them by surprise too.

Some of Barragan's fraccion were stronger than Grimmjow, but I think most of Grimmjow's were above quite a few of them. Both had pretty good squads. Harribel, it's hard to tell, on their own they weren't bad but didn't finish the fight, though Allon makes all fraccion look like nothing. Szayel's fraccions were all weak, made for food, not fighting. I'd say no, power doesn't dictate fraccion power. Of the three with entire combat squads, Harribel, Grimmjow, and Barrigan, I can't tell who's the best one to one based on performance. Nel's are hard to judge, likewise Tesla didn't really show his stuff. For the most part fraccion seem to be picked from the previous followers of the Espada.ZeroSD 08:31, 30 August 2009 (UTC)
