the strongest Espada is Ulquiorra Based on 2nd release, think of it like this, if ulquiora in 1st release is rank 4th that means his first release can act as a base form and his 2nd release is another Release on top of that making him stronger than stark, its obvious that first release ulquiorra is stronger than any espada in base and because ressurection is a 5x-10x multiplier this gives ulquiorra an advantage

example

4th espada base= 1, 1st release= 10,  2nd release= 100

3rd espada base = 2, release 20

2nd espada base= 3, release 30

1st espada base= 4, Release= 40

As for Yammy, Yammy was indeed the strongest but only in potential, his power was based on Anger, meaning the angries he gets the stronger he gets, this is similar to the hulk but has a huge weakness it means he needs time to get to full power/anger and thus can get killed before reaching top strength, the order of strength has already been made by aizen, no need to change what the author stated to be true the only situation that changes rank is ulquiorra because he has 2 releases meaning 2 multipliers, he is indeed number 4 but that is only with his 1st release
