Captain Level
This page describes users with Great Spiritual Power as having captain level spiritual power. However, out of all captains that we know of, both past and present, only Sui-Feng and Mayuri Kurotsuchi have this level of spiritual power. That's out of about 20 captains, the rest having Immense Spiritual Power. Does it categorize this level of power as such in one of the databooks, or is there another reason?

Regarding the Visored Captains, I suppose it's because of their Hollow powers; Great Spiritual Power on its own + significant boost from the Hollow reiatsu = Immense. Some of the non-Visored Captains are clearly that strong on their own, but I'm not sure about several others.

Also, I'm dumbfounded by the fact that Hiyori, Lisa, Hachi and Mashiro are all listed as having Immense Reiatsu. One could've expected that since they're all former Lieutenants (High Spiritual Power), with Visored augmentation they would be perfect candidates for the "Great" designation, but apparently their power is substantially higher than average Captain level now...

P.S. Don't forget Chojiro Sasakibe, he's got Great Reiatsu as well!

That may be so, but that still leaves about 13 captains who naturally have Immense Spiritual Power. Xilinoc (talk) 00:05, November 20, 2012 (UTC)


 * Looking back over some of the character articles the spiritual power is overblown. Addressing this the power levels have been changed to better reflect what is known about the power of each individual captain/captain-level character in question. Hopefully that helps. Also the Great is used as general captain-class level while immense is still captain-class but a more advanced form and high is considered lieutenant-level. We use these as a simple means of categorizing the power levels of individual characters in the series.--


 * That's very helpful, indeed. One final question, however. In the list of spiritual power levels, average (unseated officers, low ranking officers, etc.) is written like it should be on the list, but is instead the header of the list. Should we change that?

 * Thank you very much for considering our opinions :) The new designations make much more sense from an objective point of view. And yes, I also wonder about the "average power", I think it should be in a separate cell, not in the header.  Lord Galvatron  -- Do you hear the voices too? 13:19, November 20, 2012 (UTC)


 * That somehow escaped my notice all this time, it is now fixed, thanks for the heads up.--

Sensing Reiryoku
Shouldn't there be a level range for spiritual awareness; high, great, immense, enhanced, and so on. Some characters like the Quincies are very adept in sensing spiritual energy like Uryu. Other characters like Yuzu only have slight abilities. Steveo920, 17:15, January 5, 2013
