Forum:5 Special War Potentials

Since Ichigo is 1 of the 5 special war potentials, who could the rest be?--Zero62422002 (talk) 14:56, May 13, 2012 (UTC)

We are yet to know.--Blossom Tree (talk) 16:10, May 13, 2012 (UTC)

that 5 special war weapons they mentioned who do you think they are? Chapter 490 page 1

We are still yet to know. So far, Ichigo is the only one that is considered a special war potential.--Blossom Tree 01:49, June 12, 2012 (UTC)

We don't know for sure yet since it hasn't been stated. My guess is that they are the soul reapers whose bankai can't be taken. We know now that Ichigo's bankai can't be stolen, and the only 4 other people with powers like his are Kensei, Shinji, Love, and Rose... the only 5 people known and alive that have both a bankai and hollow powers. But again, who knows.Johnwayne (talk) 18:49, August 2, 2012 (UTC)

We now know that Kenpachi was one. My guess is that they are five individuals who don't need bankai to defeat a Stern Ritter. My guess is that the other three are: Yoruichi (she has never even used her sword in the show), Isshin (He fought Aizen with out his shikai) and Aizen (being an immortal, transcendent being) --Balsalom (talk) 23:22, August 29, 2012 (UTC)

My guess other than Ichico and Kenpachi that are mentioned. I'm guessing Urahara (I think that's why we see him get fronted with some unknown attacker's sword), Yamamoto and Shunsui -These are all stretches lol --AJ1164(talk) 3:08, August 30, 2012 (UTC)

No, Urahara is not a SWP. Because when they invade HM, they said 1 of the 5 special potential, which is Ichigo only.--Sternritter "L" (talk) 20:52, August 30, 2012 (UTC)

Here's my opinion. The Special War Potentials are Ichigo, Kenpachi, Shunsui, Ukitake and Yamamoto. I think that Shunsui and Ukitake are included because they are two of the oldest and strongest captains, most experienced and intelligent in battle. Those who can get rid of opponents with just they're shikai. --Shounen.Kid (talk) 08:58, August 30, 2012 (UTC)Shounen.Kid

I think The Special War Potentials are Ichigo, Kenpachi, Yamamoto, Renji(for his recently evolved bankai) and Aizen.--Zero62422002 (talk) 15:24, September 26, 2012 (UTC)

Well we now know that Aizen was one. Yamamoto apparently wasn't since he just had his bankai stoled from. My guess is the qualifying characteristic is the ability to not have one's bankai be able to be stolen. Ichigo has shown that his bankai can't be stolen, Kenpachi doesn't have one, and Aizen had his sword destroyed (though his spiritual pressure is strong enough that I don't think it could be stolen anyway). I think that what ever characteristic Ichigo's bankai has, Isshin also has so he is probably one. I also have a gut feeling that the last one is either Yoruichi, because I think there is some special reason why she hasn't used her sword yet, or Mayuri, because he can destroy his bankai when it becomes hostile. --Balsalom (talk) 23:02, October 3, 2012 (UTC)


 * People really need to read the chapter instead of just oogling over the words war potential. Aizen is NOT a war potential. Juhabach said he asked Aizen to join them as one of their special war potentials, Aizen refused. This means 1. Aizen is not Soul Society's war potential but rather was asked to be one of the Vandenreich's war potentials. 2. He refused, so either way, he is not a war potential.--
