One of those nerdy power rankings that always sparkle harsh discussions. Some will get angry at me, many will insult me, and so on. Anyway, I know power is not an entirely quantifiable concept in Bleach, but let's try anyway. There are some characters that tend to move up and down my ranking quite a lot, but let's try. Uryu, Guenael and Shaz are pretty much jokers. Where I think there is an obvious gap in power (the characters below are surely weaker than all those above them) I'll leave a blank line.

1 – Yhwach (A)

2 – Jughram (B) 3 – Gremmy (V): He is nearly omnipotent. Zaraki is lucky he managed to be perceived as a challenge and later kept Gremmy on his toes, because if Gremmy had turned his bones into cookies, he would have lost on the spot. Though I concede it was luck only at first, then it was all skill at manipulating his opponent and the flow of combat. 3.5 - Uryu (A): Mere speculation, since we haven't seen even a fragment of his new power. 4 – Pernida (C): Crazy strong. Had it used Vollstandig against Mayuri, even counting Nemu's intervention, it would have probably won. Though it is true that it powered up after "touching" Zaraki.

5 – Askin (D): In my mind he's like Mayuri: not particularly strong, and yet invincible. With his ability, I think he could beat opponents stronger than him (as the other guards probably are). 6 – Lille (X): There is still mcuh we ignore about him, but he looks pretty strong. 7 – Gerard (M): Same as Lille. I think his letter grants him some crazy power boost, but for the moment, he stays here. 8 – Royd (Y): A real pity he didn't use Vollstandig, but we've all seen how strong he is. Just to be sure, no, he wasn't copying Juha's powers, only his appearance and memories.

9 – Buzz Bee (H): Crazy strong, no doubt. 10 – Mask (S): He mopped the floor with two Captains, true, but since Buzz Bee (I prefer this name, sorry) managed to hold his own against the powered-up Shinigami whereas he completely lost to Renji, I think the difference in strength is pretty clear. 11 – As (F): Wish I could rank him higher, but... If Kubo wasn't so misogynous, he would have lost against Rukia even without Byakuya's intervention. 12 – Bambietta (E): Wasn't she said to possess the most destructive Vollstandig? Anyway, not exactlybright, but she is moderately strong. 13 – Liltotto (G): The one that most will probably criticize. Yes, she is my favourite Sternritter, or at least holds a solid spot in my top three, but I'm not overestimating her power. Basing on her own statement, she is stronger than Candice, NaNaNa and even Robert. I wish I could say she's even stronger than this, or that she'd proved beyond doubt that she's at Buzz Bee's level, but, alas. 14 – Quilge (J): I believe he is weaker than Liltotto. He had a hard time against Ichigo even before he was trained by the 0th Division. If his letter was effective against Quincy, though, I'd have given him a much higher rank.

15 – Nianzol (W): I'm assuming his power works with energy attacks, too. However, if not for his letter, he looks rather weak... and stupid. 16 – PePe (L) 17 – Giselle (Z): She (He?) is a bit of a jackal, and cannot turn stronger people in a zombie right of the batt, so, I guess she is kind of like a Joker, too. 18 – Cang (I) 19 – BG9 (K) 20 – Meninas (P): As Liltotto said, she is stronger than Robert, NaNaNa and Candice. 21 – Robert (N): I used to think he was much stronger, but following Liltotto's statement and his losing pretty quickly, I changed my mind. Actually, when he first attacked Kyoraku, he was avoided pretty easily, I guess the Captain was injured because he wasn't fighting seriouslt and Robert's power rose dramatically without notice. 22 – Candice (T)

23 – Driscoll (O): From this point onward (downward?) it is pretty difficult to make an evaluation, so do not take it too seriously. 24 – NaNaNa (U) 25 – Loyd (Y) 25.5 - Shaz (V?): Pretty random, I confess. 26 – Jerome (R): I'm pretty sure he and Berenice are the weakest Sternritter, as they were killed by Zaraki in one strike, whereas he couldn't even lay a finger on Royd. 27 – Berenice (Q)

So, what's your opinion?
