User blog comment:Zwann/Vasto Lordes in the Espada, let's analyze./@comment-1659217-20091024211029

Well, Vasto Lordes, Adjuhas or what? Before Aizan, Barragan was king of Hueco Mundo and his palace was Las Noches. (Vol.42 ch.371 pages 5-6) Was Barragan a natural Arrancar or what? . Grimjoy was at least an Adjucha before losing his mask - (Vol.32 ch. 284 p.11-13) most likely he had "risen to become Vasto Lordes". But why was it so important to get stronger ? is it the only way to avoid getting eaten? in Vol.42 ch.364 (page 8) Starr says "if Wonderweiss is here, that means Aizen is sick of waiting" Were they all Vasto Lordes that Aizen made Arrancar´s? No I don´t think so. We know than Niell was espada nr. 3 - Would she have kept her number if not attacted - Most likely the answer is no as Tia Harr.. got that number later.
