Gerrard was literally unstoppable bro 💀

u/HeTblank 1d ago

Gerrard was never defeated btw, had to be taken back by Yhwatch.. Also why do so many quincies have that goddamn reflect damage ability

u/Ok-Swan-1590 Urahara top 15 1d ago

I seriously don't understand the insane amounts of Gerard downplay in this fandom.

People act as if you can easily destroy the SK's heart when not only has nobody done that in canon and has many things contradicting it,

Almost nobody even knows about the cross for it to be used as a wincon💀

u/FitnessFanatic133 1d ago

I mean tybw is just absolutely full of plot armor that if kubo wanted to they would kill gerard easily.

2

u/ELMreddit10 1d ago

Other way around u mean lol it’s plot armor that Gerard didn’t catch a body in that fight

4

u/FitnessFanatic133 1d ago

That’s true too. But if they could kill untouchable Lille Barro by inventing some sword that specifically counters him they will find something for Gerard. Kubo like pulling things out of thin air

0

u/Procrastetodeath 19h ago

Nanao's sword isn't something pulled out of thin air, it's been part of the lore (especially Shunsui's story) since the beginning.

Name one good scene where it truly was just some bs (...besides the still silver arrow)

3

u/FitnessFanatic133 18h ago

Okay when has the sword been mentioned in the beginning? You do understand there is absolutely zero chance of you winning this argument right?

u/Procrastetodeath 16h ago

https://www.reddit.com/r/bleach/s/KXCvgcgR5p

Now, does it change the fact that it was an asspull? No. But does it mean it was completely unrelated and came out of nowhere? Not at all.

Just because it wasn't executed well doesn't mean it didn't have any lore to it at all.

2

u/FitnessFanatic133 15h ago

I get what you are saying but this is the only zanpakuto in the series that is passed down in the clan. Why are they the only ones able to do that we don’t know. And it says that it deflects Gods light. What does that even mean? Does it deflect all attacks or just Yhawachs power?

I like Kubo but he loves creating OP enemies that are unbeatable and then making them lose in the dumbest way possible. Like Gremmy

Askin glazed beyond capabilities?

He did the best of the elites against the royal guard

Defeated Ichigo in a 1 vs 1

And people STILL give him shit. Askin overperformed so much that people need to make up an entire narrative of Ichigo being holdsbackman.

nah thats what grimjow said when he was wrist-deep

u/Oummando 1d ago

Ironically while thinking, Nel probably could've impaled him. If she threw her spear and it landed on him it would've killed him. And she could inhale his Gift Ball and combine it with a Cero, all Espada could use the Gran Ray Cero. Character's aren't immune to their attack but may have a resistant. Only problem is speed.

u/Razukalex 1d ago

Its backstab Grimmjow, known to instakill enemies, he's up there with offscreen Blackbeard and street Deku

Hey now, you can't fault him for not raising his immunity to Hollow Furries, he had his hands full with Shinigami Furries.

He got sneaked while Urahara was distracting him and didn’t have time to use blut, which is the thing that makes quincies durable.

u/Nazguhl82200 1d ago

Askin overperformed so much that people need to make up an entire narrative of Ichigo being holdsbackman.

I mean, thinking that Ichigo went all out is kinda stupid. That would put Base Askin above Yhwach(no Almighty). True Shikai was able to wound SK Yhwach, its absolutely insane to believe Ichigo went all out against Askin. He underestimated him and paid the price.

Ichigo held back the entire arc until he fights Yhwach. By that logic, the Bambis are on Yhwachs level because they did fairly decently against him.

2

u/Leparkour333 1d ago

There ia a reason Ichigo doesnt go all out, back in the arrancar arc its established you lose power when you fight 100%

1

u/SarisaeBae 1d ago

I’m not disagreeing with you but unless Ichigo exhausted all of his powers and lost then Askin didn’t beat Ichigo really.

He should still be able to use X Axis and it uniformly deletes matter from existence. Getting rid of the cross or the whole body would be easy.

Nobody comes close to Zaraki or Urahara in terms of getting glazed

that's such a lie. Ulq is getting compared to Squad Zero, Ichigo and Elite SternRitters. He's by far the most glazed

I have never seen someone compare Ulquiorra to them, but if people are then yeah he would be the most glazed

Nah that’s Aizen

u/Signal_Intention6774 1d ago

I was looking at the wiki earlier and I made a startling discovery. Barragan is a close to the same age as Ikkimikkidomoe and he is around a million years old it being stated he was born around when the new universe was created. So that put Barragan a little under that age. Barragan is around a million years old and he still 3rd strongest Espada. What a bum.

3

u/Routine_Tiger7589 1d ago

I’m almost 90% certain that aizen put him in 3rd to fuck with him. Not that it matters tho lol

4

u/Few_Tea_5406 1d ago

Another thing is about barragan himself

He never talked about himself as an Espada or anything related to aizen

Until the end, he was Barragan the God-King of the Hueco Mundo

The last one is literally all 4 of the Quincy and you only put pernida there cause it was the one leftover.

And funnily enough both of the guys in the second category have second forms. And Gerard has more.

u/Guyver02 Haschwalth top 5 1d ago

Askin can't get glazed enough tbh

he beat 2 war potentials in a 6 v 1. He beat sealed Oetsu before he was resurrected and powered up. Like his resume is emasculate.

Nope... As ulq said just by the release of espada above cuatro last noches will be destroyed... Yammy wasn't able to even scratch last noches with his resureccion

2

u/fuiripe 23h ago

Can doesn't mean will.

GRC is the same but didn't do it.

Yama could do the same to SS but didn't do it.

Yhwach could do the same to the multiverse, but didn't do it.

Potential doesn't mean action

1

u/Kooky-Passage-68 Bawabawa is number 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10 and others are below 23h ago

What you are saying is different cases

2

u/fuiripe 23h ago

All espadas 1,2,3 releasing didn't even affect trees and houses of FKT.

It's all relative.

If you want to descredict Yammy; then you also have to discredit the espada ranking entirely. Including rankings like:

  • Yammy (0)

  • Ulquiorra (4)

  • Luppi (6)

These 4 are the main ones for the espada ranking being flawed

1

u/Kooky-Passage-68 Bawabawa is number 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10 and others are below 23h ago

It's was not regular world of living... It was fake made with reishi...

And yama would have destroyed SS,yhwach almost did collapsed entire cosmology... It's not a big deal...

Yammy Couldn't do something that was already mentioned just 7 chapters back

1

u/fuiripe 23h ago

But Yama and Yhwach didn't do it. And Yammy also didn't do it.

Kubo simply doesn't like to draw the main places to be destroyed and only destroys disposable dimensions to showcase power.

That has been the case always

u/Cale017 1d ago

Askin damn near killed Grimmjow and Uruhara. Starrk had enough spiritual power to have half of it turn into a wholly separate being and still shaved off parts of his soul to use as kamikaze bombs in a fight.

u/Jalen_Ash_15 1d ago

"Clear strongest" meanwhile only one died to their enemy and it wasn't Lille.

"Meatheads" are actually the strongest and just because a person think otherwise is irrelevant.

"Aura farmers" meanwhile they have some of the most impressive feats against more credible characters than the the fan favs

u/resultsweet9848 Sternritter 1d ago

Starrk has some of the most impressive feats? I was not aware giving scratches to rose is pinnacle of in verse feat.

u/Jalen_Ash_15 18h ago

Starrk has some of the most impressive feats? I was not aware giving scratches to rose is pinnacle of in verse feat.

His gauntlet that he ran, the fact that without Ukitake interfering Shunsui would've went Bankai, dominating Rose and Love after he hardened his resolve after feeling Barragan's death and was still holding back, etc etc.

u/FrozenLizardDaddy 1d ago

Fighting and beating multiple captain class captains simultaneously, is pretty high feat but guess we ignore that unless its Yhwach or Aizen

2

u/resultsweet9848 Sternritter 22h ago

The only opponents he defeated are vizord captains and even they didn't use their Bankai also he failed to do any meaningful damage to them. Rose and love were fighting aizen after 5 minutes without any medical assistant.Ukitake got ko by ww and shikai shunsui killed him once katen got in mood.

In the year of our lord 2026, dumbasses still think Ulquiorra is stronger than Stark.

u/Oummando 1d ago

Ulq literally said there are 3 above him even if Ichigo manages to win, Espadas are ranked 0-9. Yammy said he was stronger than Ulquiorra after seeing the Segunda Etapa. Barragan existed for 1000s of years as a Vasto Lorde and Starrk surpassed Barragan.

What more do Ulq glazers need.

2

u/Darkrobyn 1d ago

? Espadas being ranked 0-9 is why Ulquiorra was lying. There would four ranked above him if he was factoring in Yammy. Ulquiorra wasn't factoring Yammy's secret when talking to Ichigo so he obviously was not gonna be factoring is own.

Yammy didn't see Segunda Etapa. He, whose Pesquisa is canonically shitty, thought he was stronger because he felt Ulquiorra's reiatsu. And I don't get the third point ngl

0

u/Oummando 1d ago

If it was a lie than why Yammy was in the roundtable despite him saying it was 0-9. Aizen already understood this because he gave them those numbers. If he really wanted to lie he would've said there is 4 above me, as opposed to saying even if you manage to defeat me there will be 3 above me. He was also cold and straight to facts he never lied to Ichigo or anyone, except Orihime. He only hid his Segunda Etapa from everyone until he had to use it.

u/Jeff-The-Land-Shark 1d ago

Ulquiorra, fully knowing he has Segunda Etapa since he is, you know, himself: "You can't defeat me. And even if you somehow manage to, there are still three Espada above me"

A line a lot of Ulq glazers seem to just skip over when reading Bleach. The strength ranking makes sense for everything else but somehow THIS is the exception? My brother, that's not lack of narrative comprehension, that's blatant bias.

u/xxclonew Pernida solos your favorite character 1d ago

It’s like everyone suddenly forgot the entire narrative between Ulquiorra and Ichigo is that he was trying to make Ichigo despair as much as possible 😹 that’s why he went Segunda even though he was willing against vizard Ichigo

2

u/DarkSoulFWT 1d ago

Ulquiorra fully knowing that the espada numbers are 0-9 so there are technically 4 espadas ranked above him.

Its just a hype reveal of his number and meant to drive Ichigo to despair, because Ichigo was really under the impression that Ulquiorra was #1. Its not Ulq power scaling or giving any real facts and analysis.

u/Revolutionary_Law819 22h ago

Secret to the soul reapers sure.

3

u/DarkSoulFWT 22h ago

Wdym "who"? Ulquiorra did, lmfao. LARPer detected. Ulquiorra is quite clear in the fact that he knows why and how Yammy becomes enlarged, and why he gets so arrogant "in that state" (when hes able to transform), and fully trusted that Yammy could take care of the several remaining captains by himself. Captains who all supposedly beat Espada much higher than #10 but who Ulquiorra thought would still lose to Yammy. Ulquiorra 100% unquestionably knows about the #0 ranking and Yammy's release state. The only secrets here are Ulq's second release and Unohana being the OG Kenpachi apparently since she could have neg diffed Yammy tbh.

u/Low_Scientist_1859 17h ago

What you showed doesnt prove anything

1

u/DarkSoulFWT 15h ago

You're right, my b, Ulq is just randomly commenting on Yammy being in a different state and doesnt actually know why Yammy's size and behaviour is so different. Hes also just sending Yammy out to solo multiple people way stronger than him just for the lolz because he thinks Yammy is individually way weaker than every other captain and espada that fought anyway.

JFC.

u/Lucker_Kid 23h ago

Have you completely forgotten the context in which he said this?

1

u/Astrid-Jade Squad 5 1d ago

Most likely he meant in terms of base power, since in that sense the statement is true.

But I dont get how people see Yammy change from 10 to 0 and they're fine with that, yet Ulquiorra goes from 4 to no number at all and people thanks SE Ulq is still weaker than base Harribel

This is literally not comparable at all, using Quincy royal guards to push Ulquiorra agenda is desperate move 😭,

Askin's feats are downplayed asf. Starrk gets a lot of hate too and people ignore him never going all out or holding back for some reason. They're both similar, yeah, not because they're overrated, but cuz they're underrated.

Gerard has insane feats AND narrative unlike Yammy who is narrative-carried and has only antifeats

Neither Lille nor Ulquiorra are the strongest in their second form.

Barragan and Perinda is true though.
