2. Genryusai Shigekuni Yamamoto

3. Isshin Kurosaki

4. Ryuken Ishida

I don't agree on Byakuya and Zaraki being in the top 10.. But i still respect your opinion.. Toshi04 02:39, July 3, 2010 (UTC)

I think the list should go more like this:

1.Sosuke Aizen

2.Genryuusai Yamamoto Shigekuni

3.Isshin Kurosaki

4.Kisuke Urahara

5.Yoruichi Shihoin

6. Ryuken Ishida

7.Gin Ichimaru

8.Shinji Hirako

9.Retsu Unohana

10.Shunsui Kyouraku

Under normal circumstances, I would've believed that Shinji wasn't even in the top ten, but I don't think either Kyouraku or Unohana can escape Shinji's Shikai, not to mention his unseen Bankai.Pwndulquiorra 03:28, July 3, 2010 (UTC)

True, I don't think Kyouraku or Unohana can esape Shinji's Shikai either, but that depends on which side made the move first. In addition, Kenpachi would always uses his vast spiritual power to solve his problem, so I wonder if his spiritual power would work on Shinji's Shikai.Zero62422002 17:12, July 3, 2010 (UTC)

You guys forgot Ukitake. Remember, he's one of the oldest and most powerful Shinigami, too. It's just that we haven't seen his full potential yet. Shinji deserves to be there, too. To be able to take on Aizen with just Shikai and actually wound him, plus Hollowification, he makes a formidable opponent. He's cunning too (as even Aizen gets a little spooked sometimes).

As for Ryuken, the same thing goes. He's undoubtedly more powerful than Uryu and he's got the experience to boot.

I also disagree with Kenpachi being on the list. I know he can be a real handful but he doesn't have the battle smarts to win against someone like Gin, to say the least. BlazeUchiha (Talk)  17:21, July 3, 2010 (UTC)

Ukitake would not be on the list as he is very sick. He is a great warrior but his illness prevents him from really doing much. My list would go something like

1.Sosuke Aizen

2.Genryuusai Yamamoto Shigekuni

3.Isshin Kurosaki

4.Kisuke Urahara

5.Shinji Hirako

6.Yoruichi Shihoin

7.Ulquiorra Cifer

8.Shunsui Kyouraku

9.Retsu Unohana

10.Gin Ichimaru

I took Ryuken off as we have no idea how powerful he is and I just dont think a quincy would be as strong as a shinigami. I also added Ulquiorra to the list as I feel he is much stronger than what people credit him as. He was defeated by an insane super powered H.Ichigo so give the guy some credit. I moved Gin down as I dont think he is all that strong. He has a good shikai and bankai ability but its not as powerful as the others. I greatly moved Shinji up the list as not only was he a former captain but now as a vizard he has only gotten stronger and his shikai could easily dispose of anyone other than Aizen--God (Pray)  17:33, July 3, 2010 (UTC)

I wanted to point something out that apparently has slipped by most fans that dont look objectively at these types of lists.

You place Aizen at 1 which isn't an objective pick as though he is powerful you assume he is on the top even though you know he will be beaten and then where will he be on the list. You then place isshin on the list noting how powerful he is seemingly but not how powerful he is in reference to anyone else besides Aizen which while holding his own he didn't beat more than anyone else. You have Urahara and Yoruichi on the list yet we know Urahara's power is great but the same can't be said for the capabilities of Yoruichi as all her showcases have involved soley hand -to-hand combat with bits of shunko in it. You place Shunsui on the list but at the bottom which doesn't make sense as on multiple occasions he is actually stated to be one of the most powerful captains. The same is said of Ukitake and you dont even put him on the list and the only reasoning is sickness which hasn't been seen since the SS arc, so lame excuse. Unohana hasn't even fought in the series once. Shinji and the vizard can't accurately be placed as we have yet to gauge their full capabilities properly in the current one-sided setting. The most out of place misrepresentation of powerful is Ulquiorra. The only evidence of him being powerful is in relation to the only opponent he has fought which is Ichigo. He then is summarily defeated by Ichigo who isn't the most powerful character but the most inconsistent character in the series. The only saving grace to power Ulquiorra has is his second resereccion which offered nothing in the long run and is not a testament to him being any more powerful as he is no less dead and he was still only facing Ichigo albeit in a different form.

If you wanted to be objective

1.) Sosuke Aizen (Hogyoku Implantation/Transformation)

2.) Genryusai Shigekuni Yamamoto

3.) Kisuke Urahara / Isshin Kurosaki / Shunsui Kyoraku / Jushiro Ukitake / Yoruichi Shihoun

4.) Gin Ichimaru / Toshiro Hitsugaya / Byakuya Kuchiki

Thats about as far as Ill go anything else would be hard to gauge accurately. Salubri (Talk)  18:06, July 3, 2010 (UTC)

Its very hard to be objective with these as everyone sees the power of the characters differently. Yes, there is evidence to say one character is stronger than another but not enough and there are many contradicting things said such as everyone saying Hitsugaya is a genius and a prodigy and then everyone says that his power is immature so its very hard to gauge his power. Aizen has time and time again proven to be the strongest. Even before his transformation, the only one who could stand up to him was Yama but while Aizen lacked in pure strength in that matchup, he made up for it in intellect and preparation with Wonderweiss making me say he is the strongest. Isshin was then able to go toe to toe with Aizen for a while until the Aizenfly started. As for Yorouichi and Urahara, they seem to be relatively equal as they have spent their lives training together. I put Shinji pretty high on my list as his shikai is a very very handy ability. No one except has Aizen would be able to figure that out and that to me means he is stronger than most. There is also the fact that he has a hollow mask which judging by what Ichigo has shown, increases power greatly. Ulquiorra was a bit of a stretch I know but this one came off of feeling more so than facts I admit. The segunda etapa seemed to bolster his strength immensely. Unohana and Shunsui have been said to be two of the strongest in S.S and as such I put them as the second and third strongest in S.S, Gin I will replace with Jushiro as now that I think about it, you are right, his sickness has not been mentioned in quite some time--God (Pray)  18:31, July 3, 2010 (UTC)

There is no reason for us to look down to Ryuken, he can aim accurately. Maybe one or two shots, even a Shinigami can gets shot in the Chain of Fate and loses all of his/her power.Zero62422002 21:09, July 3, 2010 (UTC)

As much i as i hate to say this cause he is one of my favorite character in bleach (the other one being shunsui) but i have to agree that ukitake is not on the top ten because of his illness.. i just hope KT proves me wrong when he makes the bankai..Toshi04 12:44, July 8, 2010 (UTC)

Why isn't Barragan on the list? The definition of strongest is at issue here. Even though he was outsmarted in battle, he could only be defeated by his own power. Aizen was seemingly able to subjugate him prior to the hogyoku transformation, but I don't see how KT could have displayed that except for Aizen overpowering him with his reiatsu. Other than the manuever Haachi used to defeat him, who else could overcome that kind of technique?
