User blog comment:Aizen.sama/Are Espadas, Vasto Lorde(s)?/@comment-1393830-20100422001448

If I had to truly say who is a vasto lorde and who is not I would say only Starrk. Barragan did not resemble the vasto lorde shape and did not seem all that powerful. Starrk was insanely strong that he had to split his soul. Ulquiorra I do not think was a vasto or else he would have been ranked higher even if he had segunda etapa, this may just be unique to him
