Forum:Starrk vs. Barragan

IDK if there's already a topic on this or not, but... What do you think makes Starrk so powerful ... even stronger than Barragan? I think it has something to do with the "different" kind of ammunition Kyouraku was talking about.

Oh, and could he possibly fire multiple Gran Rey Cero instead of the ordinary Cero? Animeluvr92 16:36, 28 August 2009 (UTC)

[EDIT] Also, do you guys think Starrk was stronger than Barragan when he was King of Hueco Mundo? Or, when they became Arrancar, Starrk grew stronger ... ? OR, could it be that Starrk had no interest in it because he was lazy even then? [/EDIT] Animeluvr92 17:02, 28 August 2009 (UTC)

Is Starrk more powerful than Barrigan?

While their is definitely an arrangement based on raw power among the Espada its also obvious that political considerations are big in determining an Espada's rank. Luppi, for example, advanced to the 6th Espada position because Grimmjow fell out of favor. That reversed itself as soon as Aizen decided to show favor toward Grimmjow again. Thats all politics.

The top 3 or 4 Espada positions may be so close in power that the actual distinction between the 1st Espada's power and the 2nd Espada is nearly meaningless. Aizen may simply of given the 1st Espada position to Starrk as a means to tweak and preoccupy a dangerously ambitious Barragan who sees the #1 Espada position as his right.

So while the top Espada are all very powerful I wouldn't be ready to say X is more powerful than Z simply because of the numbering system they use. There are other political considerations in play too. Great Cthulhu 21:53, 28 August 2009 (UTC)
