Forum:Stronger Ban Kai so far (Thread Closed)

Well since I'm new here and I've got some time to kill, which do you think is the strongest Ban Kai so far? I think those who have revealed their Ban Kai are Soifon (Jakuhō Raikōben), Byakuya Kuchiki (Senbonzakura Kageyoshi), Sajin Komamura (Kokujō Tengen Myō'ō), Tōshirō Hitsugaya (Daiguren Hyōrinmaru), Mayuri Kurotsuchi (Konjiki Ashisogi Jizō ), Ichigo Kurosaki(Tensa Zangetsu), Renji Abarai(Hihiō Zabimaru) and finally Ikkaku Madarame (Ryūmon Hōzukimaru). If they were to go head to head against each other or in perfect conditions, who would be the best of the best? OdoriZame 13:36, 9 July 2009 (UTC)

Sorry, I'd like to add Kaname Tōsen (Enma Kōrogi)

Well, that's a tough one right there, Tosen's probably has to be the most effective bein' that it strips the target of all but one sense, but then there's Ichigo's which allows him to compress his spiritual pressure, allowing him to fight at speeds that surpasses anyone in the Gotei 13, even Byakuya, who is a master of the Flash Step. Not only that, but the Bankai also gives him absolute control of his increased, already massive power. Combined with the ability to enhance his blows with the power of Getsuga Tensho, Tensa Zangetsu probably has to be one of the most, if not the most powerful Bankai there is, until of course, Gin, Aizen, Shunsui and or Yamamoto use their Bankais.

Ichigo does have an amazing Ban Kai but it seems to have weakened (Either that or he lost the knowledge of how to put it into it's best use)Tosen's Ban Kai was impressive but it left the victim with the sense of touch and it's weakness being that if the opponent were to catch hold of Suzumushi hilt will gain immunity from it's effects is a let down.

I would say this is a hard one I wont go as far as trying to compare captains but just talking about Bankai I think i might have some ideas.


 * 1) Senbonzakura Kageyoshi is powerful in 3 separate techniques so that goes without saying, though im sure there is more too it then what we have seen especially Shukei which we have only seen once, I think there is more to it then whats been shown.
 * 2) Daiguren Hyorinmaru is the most powerful Ice zanpakuto in soul society. Ice, water, and weather. I mean three devastating aspects and not to mention Hitsugaya himself is still young so his power is still immature.
 * 3) Kokujo Tengen Myo'o is extremely devastating almost to the point of overkill. Once again I feel there is more to see here what little 2 times we have seen the giant he does a little bit of physical attacks but I don't know.

Having said that while I believe Tensa Zangetsu is a uniquely interesting, I know that ichigo isn't using all its capabilities he just needs more time to master it. Enma Korogi is pretty good too but its just not clicking with me yes it has the weakness but thats not really the reason why because the likelihood that someone would find it out like kenpachi did is small. Hihio Zabimaru while is a pretty amazing too but once again Renji like Ichigo needs more time to master it. Konjiki Ashisogi Jizo is a pretty cool name but I am under the impression we have seen everything it can do and compared to the others im not sure it stands up. Ryumon Hozukimaru has had little time seen and it maybe be pretty devestating but until more is shown of it I don't know, but i think just like Renji and Ichigo that Ikkaku needs more time to master it fully. Then there is Jakuho Raikoben was kinda disappointing for me the shape and what it does, just seemed like the most unnecessary and least thought out of the bankai's. I dont see how it matches its Shikai also even as diverse as the zanpakuto's are it really seems out of place. Not to mention considering the amount of power it takes to use it, how heavy and unmaneuverable it is and from what it looks like a one shot deal, its virtually useless it seems. It also throws Soifon around like a ragdoll if she isn't tied down.Salubri 21:39, 9 July 2009 (UTC)
