It’s crazy you can have Bankai like mass resurrection of everyone you’ve ever killed, freezing things to absolute zero, and literal immortality, and then you have Baboon Snake.
Also, Urahara’s bankai is something can edit and reconstruct the world and people around him. While Kurotsuchi’s bankai allows him to edit and reconstruct itself- with different functions and purposes.
Yamamoto is the boss for a reason. His Bankai is not fancy. It's just raw destructive pure power. It's completely unsuitable for anything else except for annihilating enemies - without discussion.
Seeing how they are taking more independence in the anime, I won't be surprised if they actually showed us a snippet of what Tensa Zangetsu's true power is via Yhwach's point of view
We know he also needed to steal yamas bankai, and that the reason he was able to do it and essentially why yama lost was because he didnt heal his other arm. I still don't think it would be stronger than yamas ngl.
When he mentions using Shinji's bankai against the top 3 Espada all I can think of is them looking at each other and saying "we were never really allies in the first place".
Ironically the Stark and Harribel are the only ones that really are allies. Stark gets depressed whenever they lose, and Harribel joins Aizen when she's trying to protect her future fracion.
@@danielsniff6405 I don't think its a case of wanting it. You need to have contributed something of such significance that squad 0 will recruit you. He was the one who found the 13 court guard and the academy, which meets the requirements mentioned earlier. I think Ichibei definitely considered his promotion but thought of a better outcome: Having Yamamoto, a soul reaper with increadible powers, act as the head of the shield that protects the royal family/palace. This is just my head cannon tho x'D Ichibei could fear Yamamoto if he gained even more power as a squad 0 member AND former criminal for all we know. Hope we get an explanation one day!
@@KiReSishbefore urahara reformed the 12th division, there was once an unofficial science group of the gotei 13 that was led by senjumaru, which mayuri was also a part of. This info came from one of the klub outside Q&As
Yeah. I mean look at Yama. Doesn't matter how strong his Zanpakuto is, he died in the fight. He could have wielded the worst Bankai, it wouldn't have changed.
@@crownedking_cj8890plus he he didn't heal his arm. I dont know the reasoning either, but yhwach literally almost cried saying why yama didn't heal his arm. There is probably a catch with losing bodyparts being equivalent to losing insane amount of power, esepcially something like an arm while you are a swordsman
I'm interested on if Kenpachi's Bankai will get a name in the Hell arc. I hope it either doesn't have/need one or is something simple like "Nozarashi Oni"
To begin with, Let Yamamoto be better revealed In order to know who can withstand his bankai And who cannot, But not so that Yamamoto could not win, So he is top 1
It is likely that it is "tradition" (intended as Kubo's stylistic choice and not the tradition of the title) that the Kenpachis' zanpakutos have the same name in both shikai and bankai. Uonhana Minazuki and Minazuki, Kuruyashiki Gagaku Kairo and Gagaku Kairo. So, probably, Nozarashi will also have the same name in bankai.
Sad to not see Kamishini no Yari even in the honorable mentions. The sheer power can still be compared to TYBW potentials due to the concept of transcended Aizen. And as bland of an answer as if may be I'd still rank Tensa Zangetsu higher than Zanka no Tachi. It is indeed the blade to shatter fate and in theory can overcome any level of power. However great list and video as always!
Gin’s Bankai is wild. Aizen just beat Urahara, Isshin and Yoruichi by himself with no issues at all, then transformed and got stronger… and Gin’s Bankai just immediately one taps Aizen and had him dead until the Hogyoku intervened. That single ability combined with the speed of his Bankai puts it over at least a couple of the Bankai on this top 10 list imo.
@@Rylan_Korpiyeah I could see byakuya beating gin by his sheer skill and laser focused commitment but renji would get 1tapped on sight, he's got zero chance against gin
I don't think it's necessarily true now, but when I first saw Kyoraku's Bankai, I thought this:- "That's really interesting, his Shikai makes games into reality,his Bankai makes reality into a game." It's not objectively right, I just like it as a concept of Bankai being an evolution of the Shikai's abilities. This felt the most stark (pun slightly intended) embodiment of that belief.
these lists are like P4P or GOAT lists in combat sports, it's all based on personal opinion, but as long as the persons logic and criteria is sound, then at least the opinion can be respected.
Yeah, for exemple I disagree with Dangai Joe being number 10, but that's because I believe the Humanization Technique shouldn't be taken into consideration when judging it since it's not part of the Bankai. But when it is taken into consideration, it being number 10 makes perfect sense.
@@aimaarzaidaan7657 Bleach has the worst power system when it comes to power scaling. It's at the same time a DBZ-style power system where more=better and a Jojo-like power system with a wide variety of special abilities, some exceptionaly broken. On top of that, many of those broken abilities only appear in one fight, leaving too little information about their actual limits. And to make it even more confusing, reiatsu neg is supposedly a thing, but never comes into play beside the 2 times it does to be explained, despite situations where the difference in power was arguably bigger than in those 2 instances.
I understand why Hisagi's Bankai isn't on the list, but I'd definitely place his pretty high on my own list. The seemingly inescapable death match concept is so cool and really shoes why Hisagi has the respect he does in the soul soceity. Despite his own internal struggles and disgust with what he does, he is still a shinigami and when push comes to shove he's ready to die for his job. And seeing that he reflected in his bankai really makes me enjoy him more as a character.
I dont know why Hisagi isnt in top 10, he cant lose, only option is draw i dont see anyone winning that fight besides Aizen,Yhwach,Yama,Ichibe and maybe Gerrard I dont say he is one of the strongest in verse a lot of characters can speed blitz him before he says bankai
I think people forget too often gin's bankai like, a 13km sword ?? released in a second or something like that ? and a true power based on poison, which maybe could have killed aizen if he didn't got the hogyoku ? imo the fact that gin is absent in tybw arc make people forget how powerful his bankai was (sorry for mistakes if there are any)
they do. people forget gins bankai actually hurt hogyoku aizen to the point he thought he actually died. but then he came back and realized the hogyoku made him immortal and he finished off gin
It feels so weird to see Senjumaru's be rated above Ichibe, but I guess Ichibe is a scarier guy by experience and connection to the Soul King and his secrets.
Many people, myself included, tend to view Ichibe as someone who’s Shikai is the real powerhouse of his arsenal while the Bankai is more of an extra bonus. The Bankai is super busted, but it’s more of a ‘win more’ kind of power where as the Shikai will probably already have the fight over by that point.
It might be similar to an Aizen situation. Who’s shiki is way too busted that it over shadows the bankai. I wouldn’t of rated senjumaru that high though especially knowing it achieves nothing
the potential of ichibe's bankai was never explored at all really. He used it simply to mock yhwach in a battle he'd already thought he'd won. Tommo only considers him using ichimonji on people before re-naming them, but if ichibe applies ichimonji on objects and then re-names them then the potential is basically limitless. Presumably he can't simply name a rock "reio", for example, but given even in base form he can simply write characters like "barrier" and "hide" and have those effects applied absolutely, i'd think there's not too much he couldn't do
Absolutely - Ichibei, and by extension, his Bankai is just such a tough one to rank. As a fellow commenter said, I personally think the bulk of what makes him dangerous lies in his Shikai first and foremost, but an argument could easily be made for him to be higher.
Hopefully we can see Ichigos Bankai’s true power in the anime. But from the looks of it, it seems to be pretty straight forward, pure raw power. Also love that all Bankais that are or were part of the 12 division have power relatable to each other: Senjumaru: Creation of reality Urahara: Reconstruction of reality Mayuri: Change of reality.
@@BlackangelKatakuriSenjumaru was the previous leader or captain of the Science/Research division as well I believe. As she makes a remark at Mayuri when she appears for the first time
I desperately need to know what the hell Aizen bankai is and does. I mean his shikai alone is so broken that he might be the bankai itself, so what kind of op ability could he really have, some kind of reality warping or what
We do know the mass hypnosis on captains and vice captains was the bankai release and that the illusion is permanent unless released by Aizen once settled. (both these info are revealed in the soul society arc when they reveal Aizen is the bad guy). So realistic hypothesis is that it's simply the illusion powers of the shikai on a extremely empowered level with no time restriction on the duration since we see the shikai illusion last a definite amount of time in Barragan small flashback.
Would be quite curious to hear the reason why Minazuki wasn't in the top 10, feel like acid that dissolves anything would be top 10 worthy Incredible video, thank you for the entertainment
It wasn’t acid. Her bankai doesn’t dissolve anything. The depiction in the manga that seemingly suggested the blood had acidic qualities was shown in the anime to simply be a metaphor for each character freeing themselves and coming out of their skin or removing the mask, so to say.
Well it didn’t one shot SK Yuha. It’s important to remember that Yuhas powers were nullified because of the silver arrow and Ichigo took the shot. The bankai isn’t that strong tbh
@@jamaleverett7337 didn’t the arrow just turn off the allmighty and his other abilities? Also he still felt the need to immediately break it so it probably still could’ve one shot him. I guess Ichigo is also just the strongest character in terms of just strength he just doesn’t have any overpowered abilities
An insight on mayuris blade is that both the baby and the caterpillar represent the concept of future evolution, endless potential and his disdain for finality and perfection
one bankai that flies under most peoples radar and absolutely deserves to be on this list is Korose, Kamishini no Yari. all gin needs to slay any opponent is to land a single hit, which is not a tall order given the sheer speed and range at which his bankai operates, and then touch his opponent once, which again shouldn't be too difficult since his opponents would not be aware of this fact until it's too late. it's essentially suzumebachi, but with near infinite range for the first hit, without the second hit needing to be a precise spot and without leaving a huge visible mark that clues the opponent in to what's going on.
I feel Hitsugaya's bankai is something that will with time grow on to become the strongest bankai in the series(perhaps aside for Ichigo lol), mainly because it has amazing defense, offence and ability negation is straight up broken. And zaraki's bankai will stagnage. We are talking about a man, who suppresses himself just to enjoy the thrill of battle. Heck he has been killing strong beings with just his normal sword, which people kept assuming that was a permanently released zanpakuto. And even with that state he was having an easy time. Now shikai is already a massive boost and it would be rare for him to even use that. Let alone bankai...its just like Soi Fon's case, the bankai is powerful but does not sit well with the wielder's ideals. Zaraki would almost never use a bankai that makes him too strong and mindless(if he is mindless, how can he have the thrill of being cut?).
@@j.k.1239 ofcourse yes, Zaraki's bankai may be simple but for a brute force fighter like him, it is perfect. No overthinking, no complicated ability..just pure carnage. I mean that was the first time he used his bankai so makes sense that isn't at its fullest and will defo grow stronger. toushiro i feel is as you said, next yamamoto. His bankai is exact opposite of Yamaji...and given enough time has the potential to mature into something as powerful as zanka no tachi if not more powerful(cuz IMO his ability negation aspect is a little too broken)
Special mention rukia's bankai, it drops the temperature of the user and transfers it's coldness to its surroundings into absolute zero/ -273° it can kill enemy in an instant and onohana's bankai, it produces blood like acid that can burn flesh and heal the user .. that very blood that spouts in her blade is like an extension of her limbs reaching an enemy even in a long distance
Has no one ever thought about that Yoruichi not having a zanpakuto? All captains have bankai correct? 1000 years ago the former gotei 13 , There is a captiain from the Shihouin clan who does have a Zanpakuto. So we would assume ok they have a bankai as well. So is it not odd that we never talk about , see or even hear about Yoruichi having a Zanpakuto.
Not even mentioning rukias is a very strange omission to me. I feel like its often overlooked as many people view absolute zero as just "really cold" when in reality its so so much more insane than that
And that was just a fraction of power, Imagine how much explosive power it really has.....That isn't surprising though as a kid Kenpachi was powerful enough to face someone like Unohana.
I was kinda shocked to not see Hakka no Togame as even an honorable mention! It’s really strong and even took down a powerhouse like as nodt, but the drawback you’re kinda stuck after using it could keep it off.
I don’t tbh, yes his bankai isn’t the strongest, not the fastest not the most destructive but it does everything so well it’s definitely better than Komomuras, now you can make a case that it isn’t better than Mayuris but tbh that bankai is heavily buffed by Mayuris intellect. Byakuyas is just refinement It covers for people it has good single person attack potency we saw that against Gerard, it had good defensive, it can be used against many people it is basically omnidirectional and you would say that’s worse than a one and done bankai like Komomura ? Byakuyas own words literally contradict that „A sword swung in exchange for one’s life is not worth it“
@@smoothcriminal4618 I totally agree. I made this comment before finishing the video and as soon as I seen Komomura’s bankai I started scratching my head lol. Besides the top three I think an argument could be had that Byakuya’s bankai could stand a chance against any of those. He was able to blow the head off Gerard, one of the strongest enemies in the series, I’d equate that to a flash freeze or Komomura swinging his giant sword and so on. Byakuya really has one of the best if not the best all around bankai in the series. easily a top 10.
Great video! Only change I would make is I would drop ichigos final bankai to a lower spot just becuase of how little we see it actually do. I hope the anime will show us more of the power of his new swords. You should do a new video of the top 10 bankais you wish we could see!
No because it probably can warp your senses like his shikai can if it's 1v1, it prob affects groups differently because obviously more ppl are confused.
it's not useless 1v1. it can't make you win the fight, but it can make you survive when you're horribly outmatched by making your foe not perceive you as an enemy, basically ending the fight.
The entire video i was thinking it better be Yamamoto at #1. Im quite positive that no one could possibly stand up to him in a legitimate battle. If they didn't use tricks to seal away his bankai, it would've been game over
If we’re talking about toshiros TRUE bankai I’d argue he can be top 6 but if its his normal one it’d go lower. I’d switch toshiros bankai with kennys imo since its far more versatile and broken. My list would probably be something like 10) kenpachis bankai 9) Toshiros bankai (can go higher if its his adult form. As far as we know he has to wait 12 minutes before he goes into his adult form which holds it back slightly) 8/7)Either shunsuis bankai or Byakuya’s . Shunsui’s is extremely broken with multiple parts but also has the most striking weakness, he cant use it freely when he wants because it can drag his allies into it. Byakuya’s is more consistent but not as overpowered so I rank them the same. 6) Kisukes bankai (limitless possibilities) 5) Mayuris enhanced bankai 4) ichibeis bankai (what mr tommo brought up was interesting) 3) ichigos true bankai (the weirdest one to rank) 2) senjumaru’s bankai 1) Old man Yama’s bankai Let me know your list. Im fine with switching some of these around cause ranking just 10 is not easy😭for example rukia and gins bankai could have been honorable mentions. Kaname’s too especially if someone is caught off guard. I also tried to separate the bankai itself with its owner because something like Kinshara Butodan lowkey is really strong but Rose himself feels the need to thoroughly explain it in great detail lmao
I would love to see a fight between Urahara and Mayuri just to see how they would clash. Because Urahara’s could come up with anything while Mayuri’s can counter anything. It’s interesting to think about the possibilities.
With Toshiro I feel like the placement is fair because he can never start out with his True Power. That’s a glaring caveat despite how broken his True Bankai is.
I personally think Ishida’s Schrift is the most probable way for the Quincy to escape Senjumaru’s Bankai unless Yuwach gives them another Auscwalen amp 🫡
Regarding which of these bankai could defeat Yamamoto's....the answer is whoever has the highest spiritual pressure...we see this from what Aizen says to Soifon that her zanpakto wouldn't be able to kill him even after the two strikes since there is a huge gap in their SP...the power ceiling of the bankais including of the hacks ability bankais is ultimately decided by the level of SP of the soul reaper.
I have Gin’s Bankai above Renji’s. It’s just a better version tbh. Both can extend and whip around, both can disintegrate with “poison” as their main ability, but where Renji’s Zaga Tepo can be dodged, Gin’s poison can’t even be seen due to how subtle it is. He only drops a dust size poison into his target once he hits. Both are of course really powerful, I just personally think Gin’s also deserves a honourable mention.
Dbzirman and captain havoc made videos like these! This was another great one but I definitely would’ve included Mayuris enhanced bankai on the list. Being able to adapt to any situation is INSANE.
I think you can put it around Urahara’s Bankai because we don’t know the full scope of either really. For the same reasons Mayuri’s is in the honorable mentions you could say the same for Urahara’s.
His bankai takes setup, though. And if the opponent changes abilities in any way after it's used, it needs more setup. Meanwhile Hitsugaya's only needs the initial petal timer to end and then he can just turn abilities off.
pretty sure ichigo his bankai would destroy yamamoto his bankai, eventho he would deal more damage to ichigo than the quincy king, since his damage is also afflicted passively
The top 10 strongest bankai in bleach(we've seen so far in the anime/manga) is, IN MY OPINION!!!: 10.) Konjiki Ashisogi Jizō: Matai Fukuin Shōtai 9.) Hakka no Togame 8.) Kannonbiraki Benihime Aratame 7.) Kenpachi's bankai 6.) Completed Daiguren Hyōrinmaru 5.) Katen Kyōkotsu: Karamatsu Shinjū 4.) Zanka no Tachi 3.) Shatatsu karagara shigarami no tsuji 2.) Shin'uchi: shirafude ichimonji 1.) Ichigo's final bankai 6.) and 5.) can always swap places depending on how you look at it. I also feel like komamura's Dangai Jōe deserves a spot in this list as no. 8.), sharing a spot with kisuke's bankai
@Taiga-16 Yeah, I was also unsure whether to put Hakka no Togame below or above Mayuri's Bankai, but then, looking back at Rukia's feats fighting Äs Nödt, I'd say she clocks it. When she activated Sode no Shirayuki and was decreasing her own body temperature below the point where blood freezes and molecules cease to function. She is medically considerd dead at this point mind you, but yet can still perform cognitive higher thinking, and still perform mind-to-body movements like complex Martial art maneuvers like shunpō without shattering into a trillion pieces( which is utterly absurd), then when she fights Äs Nödt we see that she can freeze her self and her targets to -273,15°C (absolute zero), keep in mind that the organism that can survive the lowest temperature, can survive a temperature of about -80°C, the coldest place on Earth is -93,2°C, the coldest thing in the UNIVERSE!!!( Boomerang Nebula) is -272.15°C and the absolute coldest temperature matter can meet is -273°C and Rukia's Sode no Shirayuki meet that temperature, keep in mind that, that was just her shikai and Bankai's give the user a 5 to 10 times boost of power, so you can imagine the madness of that beyond absurd temperature!!! Rukia is the GOAT to survive all that!!! And with Mayuri Bankai being a lifeform-based Bankai, I think it's molecules will freeze beyond function where it can't give birth to a counter or even live to begin with, so I'm content in putting Hakka no Togame at no. 9.)
I think its very important to mention that, regarding Ichibei's Shirafude Ichimonji, it was explicitly stated that if he hadnt *explained how it fucking functions* to Juha, it wouldve legitimately killed him (or at least the black mausoleum would)
Ichibe's bankai is definitely stronger than his shikai because it's abilities can likely work on allies too. Imagine if ichibe decided to rename all of the fodder shinigami "arrancar" or something, it's such a busted ability that was only ever applied in one way.
Ichibei's is symbolic of how he's the 'editor' of the Bleach universe. He's rewritten the entire history of the war to paint in a more rosy 'good vs evil' narrative much to the chagrin of those who know the truth. Him essentially erasing Yhwach and reducing him to a piece of meat as the new Spirit King is ironic and chilling. More so since Ichigo nearly underwent that fate.
This is why I think his ranking should be much higher; Ichibei can essentially nullify anything out if existence if he chooses too. Condidering this series, and in general, that's wild stuff. Should be in the top 3 for my money everytime.
Not true I'm 100% sure Lillie has more reiatsu than shunsui and shunsui didn't get drowned so I believe shunsui's bankai only goes to the next step if the opponent can survive the previous one with decapitation being the end game so shunsui is never in any real danger unless he's fight an immortal being
Love the list but I would have put senjumarus bankai in 1st, yama's second and wouldn't have even bothered with ichigo as we don't even see it do anything the shikai can't
„A sword swung in exchange for one’s life is not worth“ I definitely disagree with nr 10 a bankai that only can be used once in my opinion should definitely not be considered good
the one NEW thing the anime gave us is that, the Zero squad is NOT really that powerful. they are only POWERFUL because they are given the power of the Soul King and their literal Bones become infused with Soul King power, and the fact the newly added "they are all linked" thing and have to kill them selves to allow one of the others to use their bankai etc... with that information MY GAWD, imagine Yamamoto was invited to the Zero Squad, and was given Soul King power up etc. and was then linked and they all killed themselves to allow him to Zanka no Tachi SOUL KING STYLE
I'll always argue that Rukia's Bankai should always be on the list, and that she at least should be the perfect antithesis to Yamamoto's power. Where he is like the sun personified...she is absolute zero which wouldn't simply be stopped by fire because it isn't exactly ice, but the complete absence of heat. I mean she has to be technically dead to even survive using it. They also both technically do the same thing. Yama slices the ground, and a chunk out of the twin, but Rukia slices the top off of Asnodt. With a wider view or different target, you would have probably seen her slice through the ground like ice working its way through the matter of a rock.
Actually your wrong absolute zero is no where near as powerful as heat. It's a low energy state where molecules are still moving but just very slowly and energy is still energy. The tiniest of flames counter absolute zero. Any type of warmth or excitement counters absolute zero.
Osho's bankai is interesting; up til now most the the bankai we've seen were more like fully-realized shikai, but the monk's shikai and bankai are more just a single ability divided in two.
Perfect list, I agree with nearly every ranking, except that in my opinion MAYURI and KOMAMURA’S Bankais can be swapped , because I think that mayuris summon has the same criteria as komamura’s bankai, but on the other hand it’s not linked to his main body and I guess that an advantage
@@xenoemblem7yhwach can't take it, just my opinion but I'm pretty sure Quincy seems to have a bit of weakness to hollow. I mean urahara restore all the captain bankai with hollow power. And ichigo bankai(the old one) can't be taken because he has a hollow power in it.
I'd imagine Shinji's bankai is only effective if his spiritual pressure isn't vastly inferior to his opponents. Like how Soi Fon's shikai was ineffective against Aizen. Otherwise his bankai could do ridiculous things like solo the Schutzstaffel.
i would say i think toshiros should be a bit higher and kenpachi lower just because of how kenpachi bankai work is just boosting his already monstrous strength which is nice but really one works as well as it does because of kenpachi
If we include the Novels, I am pretty sure you could make a strong argument for Azashiro's Bankai could be nr. 1. That thing is BROKEN. As far as pure physical power, I would say Kenny has the strongest Bankai, which is very fitting.
To this day, i still believe that Tensa Zangetsu's true power is the ability to "shatter fate". Basically it has the power to negate any phenomenon. I know it sounds absurd but that's the only thing that can explain why Yhwach can't just keep rewriting his death. It's because Tensa Zangetsu can severe futures and is why it was inevitable for Yhwach to die by its power.
Ichibei's is definitely the strongest if we're going by ranking. 2nd would be a tie between Yamamoto and Ichigo. Byakuya should be somewhere on this list given how upscaled he got after the training.
I've never seen someone as immersed with the Bleach verse as this man and he says Ichibe is of little threat. Ink won't work if it evaporates. And once his weapon is useless his ability to steal black is going to fall as well or Yama could wear a white shihaksho
@@codywinchester8779I don’t think that’s what the guy meant about Ichibei’s Bankai because it still ranked 6th on the list. It’s still a threat but the Shikai was already so broken the Bankai doesn’t outperform Ichibei’s Shikai as most Bankai(s) do. Like the Shikai literally strips you of your own name making you powerless while the Bankai gives a name. Having a name is honestly better than not lol
@@codywinchester8779WTF? Was that really what he said? Just because of your agenda you twisted everything he said in the video lol and how does his ink get evaporated when it's not your regular ink and it's conceptual? You Yamamoto fanboys really can't accept someone shown and said to predate all shinigami is stronger than your favorite Yamamoto you make the worst arguments ever and even Yamamoto would know that ichibei would delete him in a battle but his ink is your regular ink that can evaporate and who said his bankai is tied to his all black power? That's just his power kiddo and he can use it anytime he wants and he even said Yamamoto could just wear a white shihakushou lmao 🤣😂. So you think it's only from his clothing he can steal black from lol.
My favorite bankai : Senbonzakura Kageyoshi, hakka no Togame. ( Yeah i'm Kuchiki bias lol) The strongest bankai overall: Ukitake's bankai. So strong That he could've end the show earlier.
I really, really would have liked to see Rukia have five or six hundred years to master her Bankai, then see how well her heat sink worked against Ryujin Jakka.
I’m sorry but tensa should be an honorable mention. There’s just not enough to rank it that high. We don’t know what ability it has, it’s just simply raw power which we don’t know if it is really that powerful or was ywhach just robbed of his powers
Rukia’s Hakka no Togame can bring things to absolute zero. She hasn’t mastered it yet, so we saw the drawbacks. If I’m understanding Zanka no Tachi calls forth infernal flames, but that’s it, it doesn’t constantly keep getting hotter and hotter, they just are, there’s no upper limit to temperature. couldn’t Rukia using the laws of thermodynamics cool it down? Not even an honorable mention for the only Bankai that can control thermodynamics. But you got Toshiro’s which he hasn’t mastered either, and can freeze things, a freezer can do what he does.
Because hitsugayas it's far more versatile. On top of rukia not being able to fully control it she can only use it in a limited area of effect. Hitsugaya can move around while using his. Hitsugayas is basically the ice version of yamamotos.
This just isn't a captain list tho. It does not matter whatever his kiddo skills are. It is only a rating of the bankai. Not overall skill/abilities. Just bankai prowess.
Which Bankai is the absolute strongest in Bleach? Do you agree with my list at all? Let me know your rankings in the comments - thanks everyone!
I think Ichigo's is the strongest because it's scared Yhwach in a such point that he break his zampakuto once he releases his Bankai
I hope one day we get Aizen's bankai one day. I hope its not as disappointing as Shinji's was.
@@ladonmccabe i hope so it would be very cool

''without discussion'' ... kinda cold 🥶
kinda true tho… yuha didnt just send ANYONE after this man
I wanna know what your definition of fancy is
@@ACagedBird364 -
Step 1: Activate Bankai
Step 2: Tap enemy into Oblivion
Anything more than that is unnecessary for Yama.
Absolutely fodder
I just want to see the future Yhwach witnessed that made him break Tensa Zangetsu, then cut to it being broken
Seeing how they are taking more independence in the anime, I won't be surprised if they actually showed us a snippet of what Tensa Zangetsu's true power is via Yhwach's point of view
Ooooh, that would be cool - to give us something, anything, of what Ichigo's bankai actually does
He just say he wanted to show respect breaking it because it was formidable, if was Absolutely dangerous Kubo would show his reaction.
We know he also needed to steal yamas bankai, and that the reason he was able to do it and essentially why yama lost was because he didnt heal his other arm. I still don't think it would be stronger than yamas ngl.
Ichigo has one move. What is there to wonder.
When he mentions using Shinji's bankai against the top 3 Espada all I can think of is them looking at each other and saying "we were never really allies in the first place".
Ironically the Stark and Harribel are the only ones that really are allies. Stark gets depressed whenever they lose, and Harribel joins Aizen when she's trying to protect her future fracion.
Lmao, Barragan gonna see Aizen as his ally rather than enemy now 😅
“We had a common enemy” is the entire dynamic between the espada. They were never allies, they were simply in agreement on who the bigger enemy was
Remember that Yama used to be Senjumaru's boss before she got promoted to Squad Zero.
I think being a part of Squad Zero gives you a boost but that’s just my thinking.
@@THED3ADLY7 I think yamamoto could have easily been part of squad zero if he really wanted to.
@@danielsniff6405 I don't think its a case of wanting it. You need to have contributed something of such significance that squad 0 will recruit you. He was the one who found the 13 court guard and the academy, which meets the requirements mentioned earlier. I think Ichibei definitely considered his promotion but thought of a better outcome: Having Yamamoto, a soul reaper with increadible powers, act as the head of the shield that protects the royal family/palace. This is just my head cannon tho x'D Ichibei could fear Yamamoto if he gained even more power as a squad 0 member AND former criminal for all we know. Hope we get an explanation one day!
Where it was stated? He was boss of Hikifune and probably Tenjiro, not Shutara. Who upvote this.
@@KiReSishbefore urahara reformed the 12th division, there was once an unofficial science group of the gotei 13 that was led by senjumaru, which mayuri was also a part of. This info came from one of the klub outside Q&As
The script for this video is fire! I like how you described Mayuri's bankai. Great job.
Thank you!
The problem with ranking bankai or even just zanpakuto is it is impossible to separate the sword's strength from the character's strength.
Yeah. I mean look at Yama. Doesn't matter how strong his Zanpakuto is, he died in the fight. He could have wielded the worst Bankai, it wouldn't have changed.
@@AgrestisAnimaYama losing in that fight is less of a him being weaker thing and more of a he’s changed too much
@@crownedking_cj8890plus it was stolen
@@crownedking_cj8890plus he he didn't heal his arm. I dont know the reasoning either, but yhwach literally almost cried saying why yama didn't heal his arm. There is probably a catch with losing bodyparts being equivalent to losing insane amount of power, esepcially something like an arm while you are a swordsman
@sigmaohiogyattfanumrizz he was gonna lose regardless
I'm interested on if Kenpachi's Bankai will get a name in the Hell arc. I hope it either doesn't have/need one or is something simple like "Nozarashi Oni"
To begin with, Let Yamamoto be better revealed In order to know who can withstand his bankai And who cannot, But not so that Yamamoto could not win, So he is top 1
I'd be happy just seeing him use his Zanpakuto's power in the Hell arc.
The namelessness is intentional, because Kenpachi always knew the pain of not having a name.
Ironically Nameless demon or devil with no name translates into something that sure sounds fitting for a bankai
It is likely that it is "tradition" (intended as Kubo's stylistic choice and not the tradition of the title) that the Kenpachis' zanpakutos have the same name in both shikai and bankai. Uonhana Minazuki and Minazuki, Kuruyashiki Gagaku Kairo and Gagaku Kairo. So, probably, Nozarashi will also have the same name in bankai.
I belive Minazuki deserved an honorable mention
Sad to not see Kamishini no Yari even in the honorable mentions. The sheer power can still be compared to TYBW potentials due to the concept of transcended Aizen.
And as bland of an answer as if may be I'd still rank Tensa Zangetsu higher than Zanka no Tachi. It is indeed the blade to shatter fate and in theory can overcome any level of power.
However great list and video as always!
That shatter fate shit is bullshit until we see it
Gin’s Bankai is wild.
Aizen just beat Urahara, Isshin and Yoruichi by himself with no issues at all, then transformed and got stronger… and Gin’s Bankai just immediately one taps Aizen and had him dead until the Hogyoku intervened.
That single ability combined with the speed of his Bankai puts it over at least a couple of the Bankai on this top 10 list imo.
I'd definitely but Gin's over Renji and Byakuya.
@@Rylan_Korpiyeah I could see byakuya beating gin by his sheer skill and laser focused commitment but renji would get 1tapped on sight, he's got zero chance against gin
Ichogo glazers argument are literally based on head canons
I don't think it's necessarily true now, but when I first saw Kyoraku's Bankai, I thought this:-
"That's really interesting, his Shikai makes games into reality,his Bankai makes reality into a game."
It's not objectively right, I just like it as a concept of Bankai being an evolution of the Shikai's abilities. This felt the most stark (pun slightly intended) embodiment of that belief.
these lists are like P4P or GOAT lists in combat sports, it's all based on personal opinion, but as long as the persons logic and criteria is sound, then at least the opinion can be respected.
Yeah, for exemple I disagree with Dangai Joe being number 10, but that's because I believe the Humanization Technique shouldn't be taken into consideration when judging it since it's not part of the Bankai. But when it is taken into consideration, it being number 10 makes perfect sense.
Every list of strongest bankai in the whole bleach fandom is basically just a bunch of assumption.
@@aimaarzaidaan7657 Bleach has the worst power system when it comes to power scaling. It's at the same time a DBZ-style power system where more=better and a Jojo-like power system with a wide variety of special abilities, some exceptionaly broken. On top of that, many of those broken abilities only appear in one fight, leaving too little information about their actual limits. And to make it even more confusing, reiatsu neg is supposedly a thing, but never comes into play beside the 2 times it does to be explained, despite situations where the difference in power was arguably bigger than in those 2 instances.
I understand why Hisagi's Bankai isn't on the list, but I'd definitely place his pretty high on my own list. The seemingly inescapable death match concept is so cool and really shoes why Hisagi has the respect he does in the soul soceity. Despite his own internal struggles and disgust with what he does, he is still a shinigami and when push comes to shove he's ready to die for his job. And seeing that he reflected in his bankai really makes me enjoy him more as a character.
I dont know why Hisagi isnt in top 10, he cant lose, only option is draw i dont see anyone winning that fight besides Aizen,Yhwach,Yama,Ichibe and maybe Gerrard
I dont say he is one of the strongest in verse a lot of characters can speed blitz him before he says bankai
I think people forget too often gin's bankai
like, a 13km sword ?? released in a second or something like that ? and a true power based on poison, which maybe could have killed aizen if he didn't got the hogyoku ?
imo the fact that gin is absent in tybw arc make people forget how powerful his bankai was
(sorry for mistakes if there are any)
they do. people forget gins bankai actually hurt hogyoku aizen to the point he thought he actually died. but then he came back and realized the hogyoku made him immortal and he finished off gin
Yeah truth is, gin really had aizen there had it not been for the hogyoku
Ichigo parried it.
@@DisFantasyGot hit by it too.
@@DisFantasyhe lowkey had to use his mask against Gin for a minute there
It feels so weird to see Senjumaru's be rated above Ichibe, but I guess Ichibe is a scarier guy by experience and connection to the Soul King and his secrets.
Many people, myself included, tend to view Ichibe as someone who’s Shikai is the real powerhouse of his arsenal while the Bankai is more of an extra bonus. The Bankai is super busted, but it’s more of a ‘win more’ kind of power where as the Shikai will probably already have the fight over by that point.
It might be similar to an Aizen situation.
Who’s shiki is way too busted that it over shadows the bankai.
I wouldn’t of rated senjumaru that high though especially knowing it achieves nothing
the potential of ichibe's bankai was never explored at all really. He used it simply to mock yhwach in a battle he'd already thought he'd won.
Tommo only considers him using ichimonji on people before re-naming them, but if ichibe applies ichimonji on objects and then re-names them then the potential is basically limitless. Presumably he can't simply name a rock "reio", for example, but given even in base form he can simply write characters like "barrier" and "hide" and have those effects applied absolutely, i'd think there's not too much he couldn't do
Ichibe also has mad other skills like special kido.
Absolutely - Ichibei, and by extension, his Bankai is just such a tough one to rank. As a fellow commenter said, I personally think the bulk of what makes him dangerous lies in his Shikai first and foremost, but an argument could easily be made for him to be higher.
Hopefully we can see Ichigos Bankai’s true power in the anime. But from the looks of it, it seems to be pretty straight forward, pure raw power.
Also love that all Bankais that are or were part of the 12 division have power relatable to each other:
Senjumaru: Creation of reality
Urahara: Reconstruction of reality
Mayuri: Change of reality.
Senjumaru isn't 12th division that's Hikifune.
@@BlackangelKatakuriSenjumaru was the previous leader or captain of the Science/Research division as well I believe. As she makes a remark at Mayuri when she appears for the first time
My personal favourite? Ukitakes Bankai. So powerful it couldnt be shown or he would delete the verse
Fax
More like it deletes him
Inb4 it gets shown in the anime
been waiting for this one thanks
I desperately need to know what the hell Aizen bankai is and does. I mean his shikai alone is so broken that he might be the bankai itself, so what kind of op ability could he really have, some kind of reality warping or what
Honestly it could be something kind of dumb, like how Soifon's shikai was pretty deadly for a fighter like her but her Bankai was kind of trash.
We do know the mass hypnosis on captains and vice captains was the bankai release and that the illusion is permanent unless released by Aizen once settled. (both these info are revealed in the soul society arc when they reveal Aizen is the bad guy).
So realistic hypothesis is that it's simply the illusion powers of the shikai on a extremely empowered level with no time restriction on the duration since we see the shikai illusion last a definite amount of time in Barragan small flashback.
Would be quite curious to hear the reason why Minazuki wasn't in the top 10, feel like acid that dissolves anything would be top 10 worthy
Incredible video, thank you for the entertainment
It wasn’t acid. Her bankai doesn’t dissolve anything. The depiction in the manga that seemingly suggested the blood had acidic qualities was shown in the anime to simply be a metaphor for each character freeing themselves and coming out of their skin or removing the mask, so to say.
We don't know how her bankai works.
There is no acid the anime shows us that it's a metaphor for their true selves being unleashed it just controls blood
Wow was surprised Ichigo’s bankai is this high. Last time it was ranked somewhere in the middle
Honestly just going off of Yuha it should be number 1 even if it doesn’t have any crazy abilities
@@shiroufan5401 Yeah the fact it can one shot SK Juha is crazy
The main antagonist of the story was scared of his bankai so i guess ichigo's bankai deserve to be on top of this list
Well it didn’t one shot SK Yuha. It’s important to
remember that Yuhas powers were nullified because of the silver arrow and Ichigo took the shot. The bankai isn’t that strong tbh
@@jamaleverett7337 didn’t the arrow just turn off the allmighty and his other abilities? Also he still felt the need to immediately break it so it probably still could’ve one shot him. I guess Ichigo is also just the strongest character in terms of just strength he just doesn’t have any overpowered abilities
An insight on mayuris blade is that both the baby and the caterpillar represent the concept of future evolution, endless potential and his disdain for finality and perfection
one bankai that flies under most peoples radar and absolutely deserves to be on this list is Korose, Kamishini no Yari.
all gin needs to slay any opponent is to land a single hit, which is not a tall order given the sheer speed and range at which his bankai operates, and then touch his opponent once, which again shouldn't be too difficult since his opponents would not be aware of this fact until it's too late.
it's essentially suzumebachi, but with near infinite range for the first hit, without the second hit needing to be a precise spot and without leaving a huge visible mark that clues the opponent in to what's going on.
idk if it is the strongest but the fact that kisuke urahara can stitch himself back together infinetively seems very busted.
I feel Hitsugaya's bankai is something that will with time grow on to become the strongest bankai in the series(perhaps aside for Ichigo lol), mainly because it has amazing defense, offence and ability negation is straight up broken.
And zaraki's bankai will stagnage.
We are talking about a man, who suppresses himself just to enjoy the thrill of battle. Heck he has been killing strong beings with just his normal sword, which people kept assuming that was a permanently released zanpakuto. And even with that state he was having an easy time. Now shikai is already a massive boost and it would be rare for him to even use that. Let alone bankai...its just like Soi Fon's case, the bankai is powerful but does not sit well with the wielder's ideals. Zaraki would almost never use a bankai that makes him too strong and mindless(if he is mindless, how can he have the thrill of being cut?).
Hitsugayas may power may go onto include water and lightning as well
Hitsugaya is next Yamamoto.Zaraki's bankai also has big potential as his body can't even handle a fraction of power.
@@j.k.1239 ofcourse yes, Zaraki's bankai may be simple but for a brute force fighter like him, it is perfect. No overthinking, no complicated ability..just pure carnage. I mean that was the first time he used his bankai so makes sense that isn't at its fullest and will defo grow stronger.
toushiro i feel is as you said, next yamamoto. His bankai is exact opposite of Yamaji...and given enough time has the potential to mature into something as powerful as zanka no tachi if not more powerful(cuz IMO his ability negation aspect is a little too broken)
You can't really change what is already perfect
and Byakuya's Bankai is pretty much perfect
Ichigo was fast enough to stop every blade w his underpowered bankai and low reatsu
Special mention
rukia's bankai, it drops the temperature of the user and transfers it's coldness to its surroundings into absolute zero/ -273° it can kill enemy in an instant
and onohana's bankai, it produces blood like acid that can burn flesh and heal the user .. that very blood that spouts in her blade is like an extension of her limbs reaching an enemy even in a long distance
We still don't know exactly how her bankai works
Perfect video to watch during lunch
Has no one ever thought about that Yoruichi not having a zanpakuto? All captains have bankai correct? 1000 years ago the former gotei 13 , There is a captiain from the Shihouin clan who does have a Zanpakuto. So we would assume ok they have a bankai as well. So is it not odd that we never talk about , see or even hear about Yoruichi having a Zanpakuto.
In general, it's funny how people put Yamamoto in 1st place just because of the plot Because he was not defeated in a fair fight
Can't believe that gin didn't make it. His bankai could solo most characters in bleach except for god like one such as aizen and yhwach.
I think you can tell how busted Yama's bankai is just for the fact that that it needed a borderline hax strategy to fight it
Not even mentioning rukias is a very strange omission to me. I feel like its often overlooked as many people view absolute zero as just "really cold" when in reality its so so much more insane than that
For one absolute 0 isn't possible
Imagine having a bankai so OP that it literally destroys your body
Imagine if Zaraki mastered his bankai
And he has one of the strongest body too. Other people would be dead
And that was just a fraction of power, Imagine how much explosive power it really has.....That isn't surprising though as a kid Kenpachi was powerful enough to face someone like Unohana.
I feel like he would be unstoppable @@Manusia.satu1
@@j.k.1239not just face her, but he nearly defeated her
Man.... I miss Murder Mommy
how would have shinji become a captain since they need to show there bankai, but his bankai cant really be shown
Recommendation from other captains
I was kinda shocked to not see Hakka no Togame as even an honorable mention! It’s really strong and even took down a powerhouse like as nodt, but the drawback you’re kinda stuck after using it could keep it off.
I really want to see Kinpika’s Bankai, the sound design for the Shikai was so cool.Tenjiro Kirinji is underrated.
I’m a huge byakuya fan and I knew his bankai wasn’t going to make the top ten. I get it and agree for the most part
I don’t tbh, yes his bankai isn’t the strongest, not the fastest not the most destructive but it does everything so well it’s definitely better than Komomuras, now you can make a case that it isn’t better than Mayuris but tbh that bankai is heavily buffed by Mayuris intellect.
Byakuyas is just refinement
It covers for people it has good single person attack potency we saw that against Gerard, it had good defensive, it can be used against many people it is basically omnidirectional and you would say that’s worse than a one and done bankai like Komomura ? Byakuyas own words literally contradict that
„A sword swung in exchange for one’s life is not worth it“
@@smoothcriminal4618 I totally agree. I made this comment before finishing the video and as soon as I seen Komomura’s bankai I started scratching my head lol. Besides the top three I think an argument could be had that Byakuya’s bankai could stand a chance against any of those. He was able to blow the head off Gerard, one of the strongest enemies in the series, I’d equate that to a flash freeze or Komomura swinging his giant sword and so on. Byakuya really has one of the best if not the best all around bankai in the series. easily a top 10.
Great video! Only change I would make is I would drop ichigos final bankai to a lower spot just becuase of how little we see it actually do. I hope the anime will show us more of the power of his new swords.
You should do a new video of the top 10 bankais you wish we could see!
Would love to see a video of characters that counter another character perfectly and how.
My Top 10 Bankai :
1. Ichigo
2 .Aizen (unknown)
3.ichibe
4. Oetsu (unknown
5.yamaji
6.Senjumaru
7.Tenjiro (unknown)
8.Shunsui
9.kenny
10.urahara
If I understand Shinji's bankai correctly, its completely useless in 1vs1
you'd be correct
No because it probably can warp your senses like his shikai can if it's 1v1, it prob affects groups differently because obviously more ppl are confused.
it's not useless 1v1.
it can't make you win the fight, but it can make you survive when you're horribly outmatched by making your foe not perceive you as an enemy, basically ending the fight.
I feel like Rukia’s bankai is gonna be like Yamamoto in the future
Toshiro’s bankai***
These rukia glazers have to be stopped toshiro is stated to have the strongest ice type and water type zanpakuto
@@J.O14Nope it's fax bro. You just a hater.
Fax
@@J.O14her bankai is better 😂than
Everything has to have a name. There can't be a thing that exist yet has no name. That's Ichibei's wisdom, it has to be.
The entire video i was thinking it better be Yamamoto at #1. Im quite positive that no one could possibly stand up to him in a legitimate battle. If they didn't use tricks to seal away his bankai, it would've been game over
It's just that novels don't count, otherwise Kuruyashiki, Azashiro and Hisagi 🗿🗿🗿
Shunsuis bankai always my favorite
Senbonzakura Kageyoshi will always be THE Bankai that pops into mind when someone mentions Bankais.
If we’re talking about toshiros TRUE bankai I’d argue he can be top 6 but if its his normal one it’d go lower. I’d switch toshiros bankai with kennys imo since its far more versatile and broken. My list would probably be something like
10) kenpachis bankai
9) Toshiros bankai (can go higher if its his adult form. As far as we know he has to wait 12 minutes before he goes into his adult form which holds it back slightly)
8/7)Either shunsuis bankai or Byakuya’s . Shunsui’s is extremely broken with multiple parts but also has the most striking weakness, he cant use it freely when he wants because it can drag his allies into it. Byakuya’s is more consistent but not as overpowered so I rank them the same.
6) Kisukes bankai (limitless possibilities)
5) Mayuris enhanced bankai
4) ichibeis bankai (what mr tommo brought up was interesting)
3) ichigos true bankai (the weirdest one to rank)
2) senjumaru’s bankai
1) Old man Yama’s bankai
Let me know your list. Im fine with switching some of these around cause ranking just 10 is not easy😭for example rukia and gins bankai could have been honorable mentions. Kaname’s too especially if someone is caught off guard. I also tried to separate the bankai itself with its owner because something like Kinshara Butodan lowkey is really strong but Rose himself feels the need to thoroughly explain it in great detail lmao
i feel like you gotta have shinjis but seeing yours it would make sense.
I would love to see a fight between Urahara and Mayuri just to see how they would clash. Because Urahara’s could come up with anything while Mayuri’s can counter anything. It’s interesting to think about the possibilities.
With Toshiro I feel like the placement is fair because he can never start out with his True Power. That’s a glaring caveat despite how broken his True Bankai is.
@@Sasori2105 Exactly.
enlighten everybody here on how in tf byakuya n mayuris bankai r above kenpachis when they are weaker than him in general specially byakuya
I love Senjumomma bankai, but Zanka No Tachi just better
I personally think Ishida’s Schrift is the most probable way for the Quincy to escape Senjumaru’s Bankai unless Yuwach gives them another Auscwalen amp 🫡
Regarding which of these bankai could defeat Yamamoto's....the answer is whoever has the highest spiritual pressure...we see this from what Aizen says to Soifon that her zanpakto wouldn't be able to kill him even after the two strikes since there is a huge gap in their SP...the power ceiling of the bankais including of the hacks ability bankais is ultimately decided by the level of SP of the soul reaper.
I kinda wish Kenpachi’s beyond Bankai design from Bleach Brave Souls was his actual canon Bankai design.
I have Gin’s Bankai above Renji’s.
It’s just a better version tbh. Both can extend and whip around, both can disintegrate with “poison” as their main ability, but where Renji’s Zaga Tepo can be dodged, Gin’s poison can’t even be seen due to how subtle it is. He only drops a dust size poison into his target once he hits.
Both are of course really powerful, I just personally think Gin’s also deserves a honourable mention.
Absolutely fair, and I made a mistake by not including Gin's!
@@MrTommo2304 It's fine, I liked your ranking and the reasoning behind them, I was just surprised that you of all people forgot to mention Gin haha.
If Aizen's bankai gets revealed , we may have to update this list in the future .
All your videos says ichibe can beat yamma but now you say his bankai is unbeatable?
Dbzirman and captain havoc made videos like these! This was another great one but I definitely would’ve included Mayuris enhanced bankai on the list. Being able to adapt to any situation is INSANE.
I think you can put it around Urahara’s Bankai because we don’t know the full scope of either really. For the same reasons Mayuri’s is in the honorable mentions you could say the same for Urahara’s.
His bankai takes setup, though. And if the opponent changes abilities in any way after it's used, it needs more setup. Meanwhile Hitsugaya's only needs the initial petal timer to end and then he can just turn abilities off.
Well the common reoccurring theme surrounding the big three, is that all techniques/bankais can be overcome with high spiritual pressure/haki/chakra
pretty sure ichigo his bankai would destroy yamamoto his bankai, eventho he would deal more damage to ichigo than the quincy king, since his damage is also afflicted passively
The top 10 strongest bankai in bleach(we've seen so far in the anime/manga) is, IN MY OPINION!!!:
10.) Konjiki Ashisogi Jizō: Matai Fukuin Shōtai
9.) Hakka no Togame
8.) Kannonbiraki Benihime Aratame
7.) Kenpachi's bankai
6.) Completed Daiguren Hyōrinmaru
5.) Katen Kyōkotsu: Karamatsu Shinjū
4.) Zanka no Tachi
3.) Shatatsu karagara shigarami no tsuji
2.) Shin'uchi: shirafude ichimonji
1.) Ichigo's final bankai
6.) and 5.) can always swap places depending on how you look at it.
I also feel like komamura's Dangai Jōe deserves a spot in this list as no. 8.), sharing a spot with kisuke's bankai
Hakka no Togame higher please. We litterally only Seen the activation, i'd say 20% of it true power.
@Taiga-16 Yeah, I was also unsure whether to put Hakka no Togame below or above Mayuri's Bankai, but then, looking back at Rukia's feats fighting Äs Nödt, I'd say she clocks it.
When she activated Sode no Shirayuki and was decreasing her own body temperature below the point where blood freezes and molecules cease to function. She is medically considerd dead at this point mind you, but yet can still perform cognitive higher thinking, and still perform mind-to-body movements like complex Martial art maneuvers like shunpō without shattering into a trillion pieces( which is utterly absurd), then when she fights Äs Nödt we see that she can freeze her self and her targets to -273,15°C (absolute zero), keep in mind that the organism that can survive the lowest temperature, can survive a temperature of about -80°C, the coldest place on Earth is -93,2°C, the coldest thing in the UNIVERSE!!!( Boomerang Nebula) is -272.15°C and the absolute coldest temperature matter can meet is -273°C and Rukia's Sode no Shirayuki meet that temperature, keep in mind that, that was just her shikai and Bankai's give the user a 5 to 10 times boost of power, so you can imagine the madness of that beyond absurd temperature!!! Rukia is the GOAT to survive all that!!!
And with Mayuri Bankai being a lifeform-based Bankai, I think it's molecules will freeze beyond function where it can't give birth to a counter or even live to begin with, so I'm content in putting Hakka no Togame at no. 9.)
I think its very important to mention that, regarding Ichibei's Shirafude Ichimonji, it was explicitly stated that if he hadnt *explained how it fucking functions* to Juha, it wouldve legitimately killed him (or at least the black mausoleum would)
I think he had to explain it, I think bleach is one of the anime where explaining your technique gives it strength
Bro is a long lost Vizard😭
Ichibe's bankai is definitely stronger than his shikai because it's abilities can likely work on allies too. Imagine if ichibe decided to rename all of the fodder shinigami "arrancar" or something, it's such a busted ability that was only ever applied in one way.
I feel like ichibei's bankai should have the colors reversed. White to remove the name and black to give them back. You know, like regular ink does.
Ichibei's is symbolic of how he's the 'editor' of the Bleach universe. He's rewritten the entire history of the war to paint in a more rosy 'good vs evil' narrative much to the chagrin of those who know the truth. Him essentially erasing Yhwach and reducing him to a piece of meat as the new Spirit King is ironic and chilling. More so since Ichigo nearly underwent that fate.
This is why I think his ranking should be much higher; Ichibei can essentially nullify anything out if existence if he chooses too. Condidering this series, and in general, that's wild stuff. Should be in the top 3 for my money everytime.
Kenpachi in bankai has more reiatsu than Shunsui so Shunsui would die in his own bankai.
Not true I'm 100% sure Lillie has more reiatsu than shunsui and shunsui didn't get drowned so I believe shunsui's bankai only goes to the next step if the opponent can survive the previous one with decapitation being the end game so shunsui is never in any real danger unless he's fight an immortal being
Love the list but I would have put senjumarus bankai in 1st, yama's second and wouldn't have even bothered with ichigo as we don't even see it do anything the shikai can't
„A sword swung in exchange for one’s life is not worth“
I definitely disagree with nr 10 a bankai that only can be used once in my opinion should definitely not be considered good
the one NEW thing the anime gave us is that, the Zero squad is NOT really that powerful. they are only POWERFUL because they are given the power of the Soul King and their literal Bones become infused with Soul King power, and the fact the newly added "they are all linked" thing and have to kill them selves to allow one of the others to use their bankai etc... with that information MY GAWD, imagine Yamamoto was invited to the Zero Squad, and was given Soul King power up etc. and was then linked and they all killed themselves to allow him to Zanka no Tachi SOUL KING STYLE
Not true at all.
Also the killing themselves thing was a lazy way to get around not having to show them all using Bankai.
@katakurifan5213 what's not true? That's what they changed and added to the anime? Did I leave something out?
I'll always argue that Rukia's Bankai should always be on the list, and that she at least should be the perfect antithesis to Yamamoto's power. Where he is like the sun personified...she is absolute zero which wouldn't simply be stopped by fire because it isn't exactly ice, but the complete absence of heat. I mean she has to be technically dead to even survive using it. They also both technically do the same thing. Yama slices the ground, and a chunk out of the twin, but Rukia slices the top off of Asnodt. With a wider view or different target, you would have probably seen her slice through the ground like ice working its way through the matter of a rock.
Actually your wrong absolute zero is no where near as powerful as heat. It's a low energy state where molecules are still moving but just very slowly and energy is still energy. The tiniest of flames counter absolute zero. Any type of warmth or excitement counters absolute zero.
Get real bud she’s literally a nerfed toshiro
And + we've only saw the activation of her bankai and nothing more. Just imagine 10 years letter when she masters it.
@@J.O14 nope… her bankai is better 😂
@@Arcad1010 what part of strongest Ice type zanpakuto do you not understand it’s literally stated that its stronger this shouldn’t be an argument
Osho's bankai is interesting; up til now most the the bankai we've seen were more like fully-realized shikai, but the monk's shikai and bankai are more just a single ability divided in two.
I think urahara used his bankai on his own brain to make himself even smarter.
Perfect list, I agree with nearly every ranking, except that in my opinion MAYURI and KOMAMURA’S Bankais can be swapped , because I think that mayuris summon has the same criteria as komamura’s bankai, but on the other hand it’s not linked to his main body and I guess that an advantage
Ichigos bankai is by far the strongest if it scares someone like yhwach
that's because it has hollow powers, try fuse Zanka no Tachi with hollow powers or any bankai, it would be as deadly or deadlier than Ichigo's
@@jafnimadzlan2377 And what's a hollow power suppose to do?
@@xenoemblem7 they are basically poison to quincies
@@xenoemblem7yhwach can't take it, just my opinion but I'm pretty sure Quincy seems to have a bit of weakness to hollow. I mean urahara restore all the captain bankai with hollow power.
And ichigo bankai(the old one) can't be taken because he has a hollow power in it.
@@xenoemblem7 they are basically poison to them
What confused me about Hitsugaya's abilities is that he could freeze the sword and stop its unique function, but not Gerard's miracle?
I think because gerard is soul king heart
I'd imagine Shinji's bankai is only effective if his spiritual pressure isn't vastly inferior to his opponents. Like how Soi Fon's shikai was ineffective against Aizen. Otherwise his bankai could do ridiculous things like solo the Schutzstaffel.
I think this is highly feasible that his bankai has a limit. It won't work against Aizen for example.
#1 Ryumon Hozukimaru👴🐲🔥
i would say i think toshiros should be a bit higher and kenpachi lower just because of how kenpachi bankai work is just boosting his already monstrous strength which is nice but really one works as well as it does because of kenpachi
That's the same for ichigos bankai tho
@@Mars_yt699 yeah except he supposedly has some type of haces that makes ywach scared
@emmanuelakande3563 yea but as far as we know it just boosts his physical attributes
Missing Gin's bankai, hakka no togame and minazuki for sure they should at least be honourable mentions
Good list.
If we include the Novels, I am pretty sure you could make a strong argument for Azashiro's Bankai could be nr. 1. That thing is BROKEN.
As far as pure physical power, I would say Kenny has the strongest Bankai, which is very fitting.
ichigo's is def more powerful than zaraki
I’m frankly shocked that Kamishini no Yari wasn’t on here
hello Mr Tommo, I was wondering if you can cover Shūsuke Amagai Shikai and Bankai? thanks a head of time.
To this day, i still believe that Tensa Zangetsu's true power is the ability to "shatter fate". Basically it has the power to negate any phenomenon. I know it sounds absurd but that's the only thing that can explain why Yhwach can't just keep rewriting his death. It's because Tensa Zangetsu can severe futures and is why it was inevitable for Yhwach to die by its power.
im gonna say it. ranking Senjumaru ABOVE Ichibe is wild
Ichibei's is definitely the strongest if we're going by ranking. 2nd would be a tie between Yamamoto and Ichigo. Byakuya should be somewhere on this list given how upscaled he got after the training.
I've never seen someone as immersed with the Bleach verse as this man and he says Ichibe is of little threat. Ink won't work if it evaporates. And once his weapon is useless his ability to steal black is going to fall as well or Yama could wear a white shihaksho
@@codywinchester8779I don’t think that’s what the guy meant about Ichibei’s Bankai because it still ranked 6th on the list. It’s still a threat but the Shikai was already so broken the Bankai doesn’t outperform Ichibei’s Shikai as most Bankai(s) do. Like the Shikai literally strips you of your own name making you powerless while the Bankai gives a name. Having a name is honestly better than not lol
@@codywinchester8779WTF? Was that really what he said? Just because of your agenda you twisted everything he said in the video lol and how does his ink get evaporated when it's not your regular ink and it's conceptual? You Yamamoto fanboys really can't accept someone shown and said to predate all shinigami is stronger than your favorite Yamamoto you make the worst arguments ever and even Yamamoto would know that ichibei would delete him in a battle but his ink is your regular ink that can evaporate and who said his bankai is tied to his all black power? That's just his power kiddo and he can use it anytime he wants and he even said Yamamoto could just wear a white shihakushou lmao 🤣😂. So you think it's only from his clothing he can steal black from lol.
@@codywinchester8779wait...where the hell did he say ichibei is of little threat?? 🤦
@@lexogun1311You’re mother told us
It's crazy Bankuyas and Renji not in the top 10 is just crazy
My favorite bankai : Senbonzakura Kageyoshi, hakka no Togame. ( Yeah i'm Kuchiki bias lol)
The strongest bankai overall: Ukitake's bankai. So strong That he could've end the show earlier.
should probably put aizen on 0 since we all know he is
We don't even know what it is though, nobody's been worthy of seeing his Bankai.
Ukitake bankai is stronger
@@Taiga-16 Hopefully we see it if Kubo continues Hell arc.
I really, really would have liked to see Rukia have five or six hundred years to master her Bankai, then see how well her heat sink worked against Ryujin Jakka.
She isn't a heat sink. Her bankai lowers her temperature it doesn't absorb heat to turn it into cold
@@diamantemrobinson With her Bankai, she also lowers the temperature of her enemies though?
@@xenoemblem7 no she only lowers her temperature and her sword acts as an extension. Her lower temperature affects the environment.
I’m sorry but tensa should be an honorable mention. There’s just not enough to rank it that high. We don’t know what ability it has, it’s just simply raw power which we don’t know if it is really that powerful or was ywhach just robbed of his powers
Love your videos
I have a feeling Aizens bankai will be shown in TYBW anime adaption
He is already too broken.
"And now, I shall activate my trap card... Super Kyoka Suigetsu, the ability to make anything in the cannon change."
Rukia’s Hakka no Togame can bring things to absolute zero. She hasn’t mastered it yet, so we saw the drawbacks. If I’m understanding Zanka no Tachi calls forth infernal flames, but that’s it, it doesn’t constantly keep getting hotter and hotter, they just are, there’s no upper limit to temperature. couldn’t Rukia using the laws of thermodynamics cool it down? Not even an honorable mention for the only Bankai that can control thermodynamics. But you got Toshiro’s which he hasn’t mastered either, and can freeze things, a freezer can do what he does.
Because hitsugayas it's far more versatile. On top of rukia not being able to fully control it she can only use it in a limited area of effect. Hitsugaya can move around while using his. Hitsugayas is basically the ice version of yamamotos.
Toshiros is the strongest ice type and Rukias is just an ice bomb basically that even freezes herself.
Ooooo a updated list
Friend: "In all the universes which do you think had the strongest version of The Hulk?
Me: "The bleach universe, Kenpachi Zaraki in bankai"
Byakuya should definitely be in the top 6 given his Shikai/Bankai got upgraded. He's also a strong Kido user and a well rounded Captain overall.
This just isn't a captain list tho. It does not matter whatever his kiddo skills are. It is only a rating of the bankai. Not overall skill/abilities. Just bankai prowess.
There are stronger
TOMMO UPLOAD, WAKE UP PEOPLE‼️‼️
