not only did you just cancel yourself out with this statement, you also prove why Hitsugaya will still be around and be of “importance” in some way or form. Good Job.
at any rate, Byakuya will have something new cause lol Byakuya why not. Everyone else is being handed free powerups. Would be silly for him to go through the zero squad and not get some power thrust of enlightment.
Byakuya will get his powerup from sesshomaru. He’s gonna ask to borrow that chinchilla sesshomaru got then he will be enlightened. As suave as byakuya is he doesn’t even have his own wind like sesshomaru
Just for fun, I’ll put a recurring tier list for the relevant characters throughout the manga.
ATM, IMO and in alphabetical order:
Top Tier:
Aizen, Bach, Bambietta, Haschwald, Ichigo, Loyd, Royd, Yamamoto
Upper Mid:
Barragan, Gin, Hachi, Isshin, Kaname, Kenpachi, Kisuke, Mask, OMQ, Renji, Royal Guard (by default by introduction by their peers plus Renji progress) , Stark, Unohana, Yoruichi
Mid:
As Nodt, Bazz-B, BG9, Byakuya, Ginjou, Halibel, Kirge, Ryuuken (by default since obviously he is superior to Uryuu by what Uryuu has shown on the manga by now) , Shinji, Shunsui, Tessai, Tsukishima, Ukitake, Ulquiorra, Wonderweiss, Yammy
Lower Mid:
Cang Du, Driscoll, Gabrielli, Giriko, Grimmjow, Hiyori, Inoue, Jerome, Kensei, Lisa, Love, Mashiro, Mayuri, Moe, NaNaNa, Neliel, Noitra, Rose, Soifon, Szayel, Uryuu, Zommari
Low Tier:
Aaroniero, Chad, Chojiro, Ganju, Hisagi, Hitsugaya, Iba, Ikkaku, Isane, Jackie, Kira, Matsumoto, Nanao, Nemu, Omaeda, Riruka, Rukia, Sajin, Yukio, Yumichika
So far.
Hmm…I agree overall. Tousen being so high bothers me tho…I mean, he has one of the most broken bankais shown…he’ll, even his shikai sleep release is pretty broke. But, his raw power holds him back I feel. He’s not strong enough to drop a shunsui for example. Soi fon effect if you will…like, her shikai is super broke but her powerl level is low soooo…
Also you have Bambi top…yet she lost to a guy who is in the bottom tier lololol. Also zommari was broke as fuck. You have renji…above shunsui, byakuya, ulq and shinji?? Yea no. Also Rose should be higher. Loud and royd are low tier btw.
How in the hell is Bambietta A tier in relevance? She just got jobbed.
wow… this list just reminded me what a convoluted piece of shit this manga is lol… so many of those characters i have no fucking clue who they even are much less why i should give a shit about them lol
Aizen, Urahara, and Yhwach should really be in a tier by themselves…
Bambi is broken as fuck. She is a spamming Ultima character with all the Quincy defenses.
She lost to Sajin but let’s get real. Sajin sold his soul for what is an equivalent of a Super Mario Starman. How the hell can he lose? He was temporarily invincible.
He didn’t gain any new skills or nothing. Almost any character would win if given the Game Genie Starman trick which speaks volumes of Bambi that she needed someone invincible for her to get defeated. You saw how quickly she dispatched Shinji.
Renji defeated Mask and you just saw what Mask can do and what Renji can now do.
Shunsui has lots of trouble with long range fighters. Stark gave him fits and OMQ for all intents defeated him.
Royd and Loyd are tricky. Royd defeated Kenpachi no problem and did hang there with Yamamoto so that is a very nice feat and speaks for itself.
I’m curious, why should Rose be higher?
Roses nankai is legit. I’d put him higher based off that alone. I guess my main thing with renji being so high is…the fact that he’s higher than shunsui, shinji, and byakuya. At the end of the day…he’s still byakuyas lieutenant. If renji leveled up that much…than byakuya must be a god now lol. All I’m saying is renji beat a low tier quincy. Dude was “s” iirc so let’s not go overboard. He still is lacking…and shinji would easily one shot his ass with just shikai. Byakuya is just a impossible matchup for renji…same with shunsui.
Now that I think about it…didn’t shunsui take a point blank attack from stark and wasnt even hurt?? Dude is strong as fuck. Now way renji should be above them. Renji is mid at best still IMO.
Bleach is so matchup dependent. Like to continue picking on renji…how does he beat mayuri…who is in your low mid list? He has no answer for him either.
Btw as much as I hate toshiro…cmon bro you got hiyori and ganju higher than him lolol. The hate is strong.
I agree with you that Renji being so incredibly powerful now seems all types of wrong but he indeed is.
Mask defeated 2 Bankai Vizard captains in his base form and in the Renji fight he boosted his strength by 10 for attack power and Renji blocked it like nothing with his bare hands. And this is without him going full power + his Vollstandig. The fact that he could block his Supernova and tank his Star lariat onslaught is just ridiculous.
Personally, I think Kubo went overboard with the Renji buffs but he is indeed stronger than the Senior captains now. Only Ken being a war potential, maybe Rukia and Byakuya with their own RG buffs and obviously Aizen and Ichigo are stronger than him physically in the SS ranks.
Also, besides Bach and Haschwald being A and B, letters aren’t power rankings. Is just their unique ability.
About Rose, agreed that his Bankai is very nice but he does needs more showings and wins with it which he hopefully gets later. Rose is on a losing streak and he needs to break it.
…Oh Shiet. We haven’t seen him in a few months now. Maybe he DID get a call. :wow: I can’t wait to see what it’ll be.
Nah. I want Rukia to END Soi Fon. Just get it over with. With luck, she got the BanKai hook up too and we’ll see something to make Ice Baby shit himself in envy. Still hoping the B team gets in there and shines before it all ends, but it ain’t looking all that great right now. Still, we’ll be here to see what happens. Also…
CONGRATULATIONS RENJI!!! You followed the plan, and got the win. Good job. :tup:
-Starhammer-
Well, Renji did beat Uryuu back when he was scrubby Renji and that same Uryuu almost killed Mayuri. You could make a case for a scrubby Renji vs. Mayuri as a more fair matchup or advantage Mayuri a little bit but present Renji…no way. Present Renji stomps Mayuri.
As for Hitsugaya, his only clear victories are against a fodder (Shawlong) so irrelevant that it isn’t even on the list and a PSP playing little kid. His match with Halibel will always have the controversy if Halibel was about to break the ice prison or WW helped her. Considering that after breaking the ice prison, she was undamaged and facing 2 Vizards + Hitsugaya and holding her own, I really doubt Hitsugaya’s edge on this one. He got stomped against Bazz-B and against Cang Du, even with the element of surprise on his side with the hollow pill and being boosted with hollow powers temporarily which is poisonous against Quincies, he didn’t manage to defeat Cang Du. Cang Du broke out of the pillar with Vollstandig so even with all those advantages, he still couldn’t put a foe down.
I’ll give some props to him with his tanking feats against Bazz-B. The chump did try hard with a hole in his chest but it still isn’t enough to get him out of Low Tier.
Vizards have stats boosts, regen/healing and cero projectiles besides their Shikai and Bankai powers so even if Hiyori is scrubby, she still has a small edge over Hitsugaya by stats.
In Mayuri’s defense, this is super beefed up Ichida. Renji would NOT have beaten Ichida in soul societ + unleashed glove.
I want to know what Renji’s Bankai does now. He looks like he got some serious upgrades to his physical stats (that could just be the RG training) but it seems like it went up a notch like he went SSJ or something).
Also I wonder what the purpose of that Snake thing surrounding his hand/sword is for? Can it spit venom or some other projectile.
To be perfectly honest I am find without seeing rukia fight for a while. I wanna see Kenpachi or Ichigo more and I WANNA SEE MORE OF THE QUINCIES!!! So far them fuckers look overpowered as hell and you have to be like STUPID NICE to even fight back.
So far the ones they have shown look rediculus with some powers that are just amazing I wonder what other powers they will have.
Also Cang Du…YOU A BITCH NIGGA.
why do you keep thinking bambi was good…she was mentally weak as fuck. powers shmowers, she got pwned by the ultimate wolfman
Renji isn’t even Tousen-level, until his Royal Guard power-up.
We still need to see the Fullbringers fight as well. Almost guaranteed Ganju’s cleaver is an actual Zanpakutou. Kuga’s “Bankai” might even have a name.
Renji gonna be pissed when he figures out he cant attract bitches by saying hes a got a big snake anymore.
That said, monkey claw and silly sword with bone tail, meh i guess its a visual improvement.
I believe it’s only going to be for Renji (and maybe Hisagi too) and I’ll explain why. Since Renji’s been the most recent official Gotei 13 member to reach bankai, he’s still training to master it, so it makes sense if he’s the only full-fledged shinigami member to have communication problems with his sword. Hisagi’s the only other shinigami I could see having problems getting full power from their sword because he hates his zanpakuto in the first place (Kazeshini knows this and might job him in the future for it). Besides those two, I can’t picture anybody else having problems with using their bankai’s full-power since the people that’s been seen/said to have them achieve bankai very long ago (working out the kinks to reach full mastery over them).
Overall, I really liked the chapter since it showed the true growth of Renji because it was really needed (no longer will he be a member of Bleach’s “JOB Squad” anymore). He gained a lot of my respect after this chapter and the story be able to move on from here with more interesting fights later. Now, is it just or does Mask remind you of this guy?
I’m making a claim right now that Rukia, Hisagi and Kenpachi all have bankai now. I can’t wait to see them (even Kenpachi’s).
I predict the next chapter will show Rukia in the spotlight with Ichigo getting closer to his destination.
Since everybody is getting bankai now, I wonder what Ichigo is getting? It’s gotta be something to make bankai look weak of course, but what? I mean, this thing is winding down after all…
