User blog comment:Zwann/Vasto Lordes in the Espada, let's analyze./@comment-1337270-20091016174549

I say the top 4 are Vasto Lorde because strenght and appearence. The reason I count Ulquiorra is because it said humanoid in apearence not actually have humanoid features. I think Vasto Lords do not have to have humanoid features but appear similar to. So that would include Ulquiorra even after the second release. I also count Harribel because I think most people do not realize how strong Hitsiguya really is. I mean if Shunhui gives the node that Hitsi will surpass him then thats enough explaination for me. Hitsi is one of the stongets Captains in the SS to me but I am looking at current status as well as potential. He is one of the few characters in Bleach who powers are still progessing. So with that said for Harribel to hold her own agianst him as well as two Vizard LTs then strenght wise thats stronger than a captain plus her appearence falls under the same catagory as Ulquiorra. And well all feel the same about Starrk and Barrigan.
