Forum:Potential

Watching the fights between the protagonists, i wondered what kind of characters and what kind of potential would be designed for each. Espadas were designed to die or deadly beaten by their supposed "antithesis", (raw power against raw power, poison vs poison, ect...). Shinigamis are surely designed to survive, at least the ones supposed to have a role in the future story line.

Questioning myself about the different powerful protagonists, a thesis came out concerning their potential powers' progress, there are shinigamis with established powers and others with powers growing or stagnating. The ones with established powers never showed their bankai until now, then without saying that they are the hell most powerful beings in Bleach stories. The ones who showed their bankai are the ones with incredible and growing powers evolutions.


 * established powers or beyonders:
 * Genryusai yamamoto
 * Unohana
 * Kyoraku
 * Ukitake
 * Aizen


 * potentially progressing:
 * Ichigo
 * ''Ishida
 * Chad
 * Orihime
 * (Vizards?)''
 * Zaraki (+ Yachiru)
 * Mayuri
 * Hitsugaya
 * Kuchiki (Byakuya & Rukia?)
 * Renji
 * Kira
 * Hisagi
 * Ikkaku
 * Yumichika
 * ect...''


 * in stagnation protagonists (no relevant powers' progression, but still have potential):
 * (Vizards?)
 * Komamura (showed his bankai some times without notable progression)
 * Omaeda
 * Rangiku
 * Sasakibe
 * ect...

The Vizards are quite difficult to classified, same for Urahara and Yoruichi, full of secrets. Each time Ichigo progressed, an evolution is visible in Byakuya, Zaraki, Hitsugaya or his human friends' powers. In my opinion, there is one shinigami who could show the most fascinating progress (except Zaraki) would be Mayuri. He is the intriguing one evolving in two worlds: Shinigamis powers and sciences. No matter how powerful you could be, you can't win against diseases (e.g. Ukitake).Baronofash 01:16, October 12, 2009 (UTC)
