Captain's powers, by Captains

UNOHANA
 * I wonder why a lot of people think that Yamy will fight against Unohana.
 * It would be more probable to see Chad, Renji or/and Rukia getting their power level jump than Unohana fighting. Especially because beeing main characters, their powers seem quite weak. Or see Ichigo jumping down from the tower to save his friend. If Unohana was supposed to fight, we would have seen Shunsui and Ukitake fight before her but they didn't really show their power, right. We will see the lower captains and lieutenants fight first, and keep the strongest captains fight Aizen, Gin and the potential Vasto Lordes. Actually Unohana would surely try to heal Zaraki and Byakuya rather than fighting.
 * When I look at Unohana, she looks nice and calm, but at the same time she makes think at these old japanese witches and she may have powers so creepy that makes Shunsui and Ukitake sweat. Watching her zampakuto's spirit confirms me in my opinion. What does she try to hide?

SHUNSUI
 * I remembered, when Hitsugaya showed his Hyoten Hyakkaso, Stark asked Kyoraku if all the captain are all that strong, the latter said that he doesn't know, but as Hitsugaya is a genius, maybe in 100 years he would surpass him . Saying that, plus Ukitake asking him to not show his bankai, I could presume, after seeing the size of Hyoten Hyakkaso, that Shunsui's power is enough to destruct miles of the perimeter, less powerful but the size of Genryusai's Ryujin Jakka.

KOMAMURA
 * It is interesting to see that from all the captains, Komamura is certainly the one who used his Bankai the most at the beginning of a fight, meaning also he could go in Bankai mode without passing through Shikai mode, similar to Mayuri. Of course, every captains are able to do so. The point is, Sajin turns angry quite easily. As shown in the Zampakuto's arc, he's taken quite easily by his Zampakuto's spirit, maybe explaining that he is a really powerful captain but, yet, controlled by his emotions. Even when he fought against Zaraki, he was controlled by his emotions to compare to the berserker Zaraki who was calm but controlled by his stamina.

It is better to sign my posts. So I correct my miss Baronofash 11:32, 31 August 2009 (UTC)

I know Ukitake and Kyouraku pretty much lost, but I think Tite Kubo did it so their powers aren't revealed just yet.

The 'witch' thing about Unohana's got me thinking. We know she pre-dates the academy, so maybe that's what she was before she joined the Gotei 13. She knows a few things outside typical Shinigami medical tech (I wouldn't class herbal medicine as standard practice, which fits the pic of witches from Western cultures; I'm not sure if Eastern cultures follow the same pattern).

As for the Bankai's, I think even ones we've seen have more to offer: Byakuya: His is versatile enough to come up with more forms Sajin: He's never used it properly; Kenpachi fight ended with Yama, and Poww was no challenge. I think there could be more to it, and the fight with Tosen will show it (I'm hoping different weapons.) Mayuri: We already know he contiuously tinkers with the poison of his Bankai, so it's not beyond the realms of possibility that he can alter other stuff about it.

The reason people think Unohana will fight is because unless all three of our heroes become captain class they'll lose, and I don't think Rukia can achieve bankai that fast, and Unohana's the only captain there that didn't have a prior fight and is uninjured, not to mention being the strongest captain there.

It'd also be cool of Yachiru fought, as she's there but hasn't been in combat yet, though of course even adding her doesn't give them much chance against Yammy. ZeroSD 00:02, 1 September 2009 (UTC)

After his fight against Apollo, what did Mayuri find in Szayel's labo? Chad, Renji, Rukia and Ishida looked quite well healed. Expecting that Mayuri is repairing his zampakuto, and Isane and Unohana are healing respectively Byakuya and Zaraki. Since Szayel was conducting some researches on the Shinigamis and the Arrancars, it is expected that Mayuri found informations to take Espadas or Aizen down. We don't know what is Yammi, but ever more we don't know what is Yachiru's power. Baronofash 02:57, 1 September 2009 (UTC)

Hm, come to think of it, she's the only lieutenant I can think of who's aura has visibly manifested. It'd be cool if she was just shy of captain class herself :) I'd expect she'd still be in the lieutenant class right now though, and high-Espada take multiple captains to fight evenly, so 4 vice-captain levels will be extremely hard pressed.

Oh, random, semi-unrelated though: 100+ years down the road, the 12 holder of the title... Kenpachi Yachiru, captain of the 11th company! ZeroSD 04:47, 1 September 2009 (UTC)

i love Yachiru and all but i think she is just comical reliefStark Toshiro 23:28, September 1, 2009 (UTC)

Comic relief =/= not strong. Part of her humor is that she's so dangerous despite being a little pink girl. Iirc Tite has said he's going to talk about her namesake, so it's likely she'll get more background tooZeroSD 00:24, September 2, 2009 (UTC)

After seeing Stark's wolves badass appearance, as until now the powers of the Espadas is going crescendo,I wonder what would remain to Harribel or what kind of power kubo planned her to show. Love will certainly be pushed to Bankai for sure if not helped by Rose. Tremendous powers engaged in the scene. Not to forget Yammi or the other shinigamis...Baronofash 13:07, September 4, 2009 (UTC)
