Talk:Sōya Azashiro

Upgrade to Spiritual Power
Azashiro's Spiritual Power should at the very least be immense, rather than great. From the summarized version of the novel, he can cast hundreds of Kidō without tiring (aided by his merging with countless Gigai), which includes Ittō Kasō in the fight with Zaraki. While stuck in Muken, Aizen expresses his genuine belief that Azashiro could've won against Zaraki had he gone all out at the beginning, which includes his Shikai that contains all of the Reishi he's merged with, which is... a lot. He also forced the Royal Guard to intervene, which I don't think an "average" captain can do. Gold3263301 (talk) 15:20, 12 November 2022 (UTC)


 * I don't necessarily disagree with that, but a problem is that most of Azashiro's feats come from his permanent Bankai (which isn't really how Zanpakuto are supposed to work, but anyway) not anything he really does by himself. Let's not forget that using Bankai increases a Shinigami's power around tenfold than in their base or Shikai, and Urozakuro outright states that Azashiro is rather weak outside of his Bankai. Still, I'll agree if we're also going to bump Kurayashiki up. Azashiro did state that Kurayashiki could have beaten him if the latter went all-out from the very beginning, and Kurayashiki was a Royal Guard candidate as well.

 * Yeah, there's no reason to leave out Kurayashiki either, being on the opposite side of the Royal Guard coin. About half of the Bankai that exist thus far seem to be quite tame compared to either of them, much less threatening enough to be banned from use within Seireitei (though that was an old Central 46 issue).
