User blog comment:Zwann/Vasto Lordes in the Espada, let's analyze./@comment-1454424-20091017162850

Well the only argument I have heard about Starrk and Barragan not being Vasto lords is that they lost. That doesn't make sense to me. I mean, what Vasto lord class arrancar can't lose? That doesn't make sense because unless Kubo is planning to have Aizen win by the end of Bleach, even Vasto lord class arrancar will lose and die. So yes, I agree with you that Starrk and Barragan were probably vasto lords.
