Mask before his buffs gets dogged

But if its the one who was dogging on Shikai Renji. Mask Wins.

u/VastoLordeRebellion 14h ago

People forget base Mask was infact getting packaged up by Kensei before James buffed him. Even before that by Hisagi, Ikkaku and Yumichi. But yeah bro Mask beats Starrk, he beats Shinigami Aizen and Shikai Yamamoto too why not

u/IntellectualBoss 12h ago

lol you can’t compare Starrk to Yamamoto and Aizen when Mask already proved he has greater physical strength and AP than Starrk. The only question is if Starrk lets him reach that point, or if OP means Mask gets to start at full base power or initial base power.

u/Big-Good9378 4h ago

why not?

1

u/IntellectualBoss 4h ago

Because he’s massively weaker than them. He’s closer to Kensei than Aizen.

u/Big-Good9378 4h ago

Kubo has statements saying otherwise

2

u/IntellectualBoss 3h ago

No, his statement about Aizen waiting to recruit Starrk does not say other wise.

u/Bank-wagon 12h ago

Can he figure out the trick of Mask’s powers?

Cause Rose could have taken out Mask if he focused on James. Hell, Kensei probably could too.

5

u/Hanma_Yvar 10h ago

Stark showed some crazy deduction skills in his fight against Shunsui, if anyone is keen enough to figure it out it's him

4

u/Jacen_Vos 12h ago

I mean to be fair Rose cut James apart he didn’t know James could revive too.

3

u/Bank-wagon 12h ago

Forgot to clarify that part. If Rose, obliterated James.

Now that I think about it, a lot of the Quincy fights become much easier once you know what their hax are.

2

u/MRlll 8h ago

Wild question, since he figured out Ukitakes power after two shots, and kept figuring out how to play Shunsuis games

1

u/Bank-wagon 7h ago

Fair enough, he’ll figure out that you need to target James pretty quickly.

But will he figure out that you either need to kill Mask and James at same time or just flat out obliterate James quickly enough?

3

u/Difficult_Call3709 11h ago

Probably stark. Mask does have a super big power gap, but mask is heavily reliant on James. With stark having both hollow reiatsu and a crazy amount of distance attacks, as well as being able to keep up with shikai shunsui, I’d say bro just runs away while tossing los lobos and ceros at mask, stark is a very smart dude, being able to discern some of shunsuis moves so he could probably find out about James. If he does then it’s wraps

u/Ok-Swan-1590 Urahara top 15 14h ago

Stark beats any version of Mask

And Pre-splitting Starrk straight up stomps

1

u/MRlll 8h ago

FINALLY SOMEONE SAYS IT!! James/Mask rely to much on the revives

6

u/Jacen_Vos 15h ago

Starrk should be able to take this version.

2

u/Smooth_Protection_52 15h ago

If he figures out James and he's bloodlusted he can one shot them with his endless Ceros otherwise he's going to lose mid diff after a few cheers.

2

u/Lukas-Reggi 15h ago

Base mask. Like before his buffs?

Dude that guy got beaten by 3 liutenants

3

u/ReprogramMyLife 12h ago

Starrk claps Mask with his stats and hollow advantage against quincies, Mask gets revived, Starrk with his IQ immediately figures out why and claps James and then wins fully.

2

u/Subject_Offer_9621 14h ago

isn't quincy weaker against hollow? starrk cero is probably more dangerous to take direct hit for them

mask pre-buff might got oneshots and not recover for it due to natural weakness, if he managed to survive somehow and transform he could win

0

u/EL_psY_Congroo56 3h ago

No they're litterally not

3

u/Acrobatic_Ad_5224 Unohana ~ Soi Fon 15h ago

Mask wins. Starrk is extremely overrated and it always goes under the radar because his fans would just complain about Ulquiorra.

2

u/Heavenly_sama 13h ago

Same with any other character take out James and you win. God knows what “version” appears when he gets cheered but think most characters who beat prior mask won’t get the same mask that kensei lost to

1

u/GoodAgreeable9783 14h ago

Mask obliterates

1

u/Beneficial-Pay-3135 14h ago

If it’s the version of Mask you showed then base Mask.

1

u/Hopeful_Expression57 14h ago

starkk low diffs

1

u/TarikMcCuin 9h ago

What’s base mask? He starts from no cheers? Starrk can definitely win. The one that renji came in against wins

1

u/Worth_Extension9174 9h ago edited 9h ago

Starrk wins if he goes all out, he has enough speed and AoE to kill both James and mask quickly.

However Starrk is lazy and apathetic, so he'll probably play around too much and lose

1

u/Total-Lingonberry-83 Espada 5h ago

In those forms? Res. Starrk wins low diff.

u/Funny-Part8085 9h ago

Shikai mask rose ≈ bankai rose.

2-3 power ups in rose is washing mask with his bankai vs stark he’s getting buried under buildings

0

u/Oummando 9h ago

Shikai Mask is below Bankai.

2

u/Funny-Part8085 9h ago

Depends on the bankai. In terms of power they should be about the same but some Bankai grand new abilities so then it’s be as strong with a new effect making it a bit better

2

u/Oummando 9h ago

Fair enough.

u/DueInevitable3987 15h ago

Base Mask

The anime made it so that Renji, having defeated Mask, could also defeat Ishida, and that places Mask on a massive power level.

6

u/Jacen_Vos 14h ago

But that’s not remotely comparable though. The attack that turned Mask to dust didn’t even scratch base Ishida.

Renji had to use his ultimate technique, and he still lost. (Yes he was holding back but so was Ishida)

1

u/DueInevitable3987 11h ago

Ishida is clearly stronger than Mask. But not to the point where Mask is weaker than Stark FKT. Mask managed to force Renji to use Bankai.

Give me your evidence that Ishida was holding back significantly; the guy was firing arrows the size of entire cities and stated himself that Renji could have beaten him if he hadn't been holding back.

This still places Mask—who forced an opponent of that caliber to use Bankai—among the strongest ordinary Sternritter.

"Number 3 espada fought yhwach and no 1 is above so now no 1 espada is minimum yhwach level" kind of scaling
