User blog comment:Zwann/Vasto Lordes in the Espada/@comment-1468319-20091125192359

The only ones that are Vasto Lordes are Arrancar with a high enough spiritual pressure to require more than one Captain level shinigami to defeat them.

Lisa, Hiyori, Hachi, and Marechiyo are not captain level.

Hollow Ichigo is a part of Ichigo, making them one in the same (same person).

So, technically, this is how it goes for Espada v.s. Captain level shinigami:

Coyote Starrk v.s. Shunsui Kyoraku, Jushiro Ukitake (temp), Love Aikawa (temp), and Rose Otoribashi (temp). Rose, Love, and Jushiro were all defeated by Starrk, or didn't have the chance to defeat Starrk themselves.

Baraggan Luisenbarn v.s. Soi Fon. Soi Fon, however did not defeat Baraggan. Baraggan was killed by teh methods of his own technique.

Tia Hallibel v.s. Toshiro Hitsugaya. Because we have already established that Lisa and Hiyori are not captain level, Hallibel was only fighting one Captain level shinigami, and he was not even enough to defeat her, but was incapacitated by her own Master, Sosuke Aizen.

Ulquiorra Cifer v.s. Ichigo Kurosaki. Once again, I have already established the fact that Ichigo and his hollow self are one person, as they exist in one body. They may have different minds and such, but they are still one person, just as all Vizards are. And also, Ichigo is also not the one that killed Ulquiorra. Ulquiorra died as a result of the injuries he received in battle, and because he found the meaning of love.

Anyone wanna bitch at me now?
