Find out everything there is to know about the most powerful people in the Bleach universe right here.
Grimmjow Jaegerjacquez
Even if Grimmjow Jaegerjacquez is a pompous bore, his strength is undeniable. When Grimmjow activates Resurrección Pantera, he becomes an extremely formidable adversary, capable of causing lethal damage to even Bleach’s strongest characters.
Grimmjow isn’t particularly powerful during the Hueco Mundo and Fake Karakura Town arcs, but he turns into a monster during the Thousand-Year Blood War arc. Askin Nakk Le Vaar is easily defeated, and he dies after he has his heart ripped out. Grimmjow’s whereabouts after the battle are unclear, but he probably lived.
Rukia Kuchiki
The story opens with Rukia Kuchiki stumbling into Ichigo’s bedroom and getting kicked in the wall by him. When the Central 46 condemn her to death, Ichigo invades Soul Society to save his newfound friend.
While Rukia is often overshadowed by Ichigo, she finally gets her moment to shine during the Thousand-Year Blood War arc. It is in the Royal Realm that Rukia acquires the skills necessary to fully manifest her Bankai, soon before her defining battle with Äs Nödt. In the manga’s final chapter, she is introduced as the new captain of the 13th Division.
Yoruichi Shihoin
Even though Yoruichi possesses a Zanpakuto, she has never been witnessed wielding it. This is due to the fact that she can quickly and effectively end any fight with her bare hands. Yoruichi is known as the “Flash Goddess” of Soul Society because her opponents are left gasping for air and completely bewildered by her lightning-fast maneuvers.
Yoruichi took on and defeated her protégé, Suì-Fēng, after she casually knocked out hundreds of trained Onmitsukido fighters. When Yoruichi assumes her “Thunder Beast Battle Form,” Shunryu Kokubyo Senki, her Shunko fortifies her combat abilities even further.
Ichigo Kurosaki
Ichigo has access to a wide variety of abilities, including the Hollow mask, Ceros, Fullbrings, Blut Vene, Shikai, and Bankai. Ichigo’s abilities are unbounded, as befits the archetypal Shonen hero. In fact, he constantly improves and develops new skills during each Bleacharc.
It’s possible that Mugetsu is Ichigo’s ultimate form, but the power to employ it only works once. Although he masters his Zanpakuto completely during the Thousand-Year Blood War arc, he is unable to defeat Yhwach with brute force alone.
Yhwach
The Almighty of Yhwach can bend the future in such a way that it serves his purposes more efficiently. However, the Bleach fandom is baffled by Yamamoto Genryusai’s victory over Yhwach while the latter was under the influence of his Almighty.
Yhwach is not only able to use his own capabilities offensively and defensively, but he can also absorb those of those he touches. Unfortunately, by absorbing the Soul King, this final villain gains absolute power. Aizen’s level 99 Hado spell, Gorytenmetsu, has no effect on Yhwach. He is the most formidable figure in the Bleach universe.
