Top 10 Strongest Bleach Characters

Ichigo defeated Aizen so he should be at least near the top 5 not only that he can defeat all the captains and everyone in the soul society. He is always getting beat up but he always finds a way to win. Coyote stark should be numer 6 because 1 he has a very obvious weakness and got defeated by a captain. So if coyote stark espada 1 and got taken out by a captain imagine what ichigo can do! If there is a way to put ichigo in the top 5 please bring him up.
Dang, can someone tell me how Naruto Uzumachi make it to the Bleach anime and manga votes. Ichigo is a killa when he is in beast mode. Him and Rukia is a perfect team while him and Orihime is the perfect couple. Go get Orihime, Ichigo. And keep killin' those hollows anytime when you fight what them. You are the best there is, the best there was, and the best there ever will be!
In his form during the Aizen fight he was the strongest, but normally the strongest would be Yamamoto Genryusai, and recently Yhwach. He is the only hope of the soul society in the manga due to him discovering his true zanpatkou, and uncovering new, unbelievable powers. This is a comment, not a vote. I voted for Juha Bach because he is the Almighty, who sliced Yamamoto in half, and proceeded to absorb the soul king.
I believe we should be objective Ichigo has potential to be the strongest no doubt but presently more frequently he is weak. Zaraki would have killed him if his inner hollow did not save him, Aizen would have also killed him was just lucky not to be there when he released his shikai not to speak of if he ever did bankai. And its proven that Magic based Zanpaktou used properly would defeat brute strength swords. They keep saving Ichigo

As of now, Aizen is in Muken without Kyoka Suigetsu, and he is around 10 times stronger than when he last fought Ichigo. His rise in spiritual pressure is a complete mystery, reaching such a high level that anyone who gets close to him is instantly disintegrated. He even used his own spirit energy to attack and destroy the Soul King's palace. I have never witnessed someone with such immense spirit energy. His current hado #90 was able to eliminate a large number of those strange eye creatures spanning the size of a continent. Now, imagine this: his current power is being restrained by the chair, and I'm sure it greatly limits him. The Soul Society must have intended for it to restrict him as much as possible. Just think about all that power that's probably being held back, possibly restricting around 90% of his true power. If it were suddenly unleashed, it would be terrifying. There would be no one capable of even touching, let alone challenging Aizen, without being disintegrated.
He's such a troll, but I love him. I don't even know why Ichigo is in the top ten. One minute he's getting his ass kicked and the next, he's randomly powered up out of nowhere. If it wasn't for him being the main character, he would have died way in the beginning during the Soul Society Arc when Aizen stopped his zanpakutou with one finger and then nearly cut him in half. Also, we all know if it wasn't for Urahara's surprise appearance, Aizen would have totally beat Ichigo.
Former captain of the 5th division, Gotei 13. Easily defeated captain-level shinigami, while HEAVILY outnumbered by them. Outplayed Gotei Commander Yamamoto, who lead the Gotei for over 1,000 years, it's founder. Created the original Hogyoku. The greatest ever threat to Sereitei, preceding Yhwach. Evolved several times to become a magnificent force, able to disintegrate human's and shinigami alike with his mere presence, whilst being himself unable to die. Extremely intelligent and a good strategist. Ultimately defeated by Kurosaki Ichigo in Karakura town, sealed by Urahara Kisuke. Sentenced by Central 46 to 20,000 years in Avicci.
The only reason ichigo beat him was cause he has mc level plot armor and if urahara hadn't stepped in ichigo would've lost. aizen's power increases even when he is sealed in muken for years. he messes yhwach's perception of time WHILE he is still using only a fraction of his power, by the end of the final arc in the manga, he tricks yhwach enabling ichigo to kill yhwach (even though yhwach revives himself). aizen is clearly the storngest.

Strongest zanpakto, Again only the soul king can beat him. Aizen stabbed him straight through the stomach and he didn't even flinch, he sacrificed an attack to be sure aizen won't trick him. (that too) He is op and could beat Ichigo, Over lists say so too.
Aizen said it himself Yamamoto would have beat him if it wasn't for wonderweis. Juha Bach only beat him using cheap tricks their is no way he would lose to Juha Bach. Also Yamamoto was blamed by mayuri kurotsuchi for not killing juha bach a 1000 years ago hinting he beat him before. Juha Bach even stated he is much weaker than what he was a 1000 years ago. The only people who may beat him are the royal guards. The only person capable of beating him is the SOUL KING himself.
Genryusai is weak, one of the Juha Bach minions mentioned that Juha Bach's lower troops were alive because his flames were stronger than Genryusai's. So why are we arguing this.
The writer made him weak to kill him off, hence he is weak.
Strongest in every way the only thing that I know of that can beat him is soul king or probably the royal guard. When I say beat I don't mean in a bull way juhabac cheating ass!

Progenitor of the respected Quincy race who slew Hollows for centuries. Defeated Yamamoto, founder of the Academy and commander of the Gotei 13 for over 1,000 years. He possesses the most powerful Bankai of all, after stealing it from Yamamoto. Has the ability to lend his power to whoever he likes, and absorb it upon that person's death. Currently at war with (and decimating) Sereitei, proceeding to the Reiōkyū, presumably to defeat the Royal Guard and face the Soul King himself with an unknown agenda.
What the...? He certainly is not my favorite bleach character but I at least recognise the fact that he is stronger than everyone else... Kisuke, Kenpachi, Aizen and even Ichigo and Yama are NOT on the same level as him...
The Almighty is so overpowered I don't know how he isn't number 1. He defeated yammamoto and ichibe, the two strongest shinigamis to have ever lived. Even Gerard Valkyrie deeply respects him, and he was lolstomping Byakuya and Toshiro and only lost because of Kenpachi's ridiculous strength. To have someone that strong respect you and look up to you like he does means something.
Basically no one can beat him not kenny not yama and ichigo can't do anything about the quincy stuff in him so no one even knows what he's gonna do next!

Genuinely think he's gone past Yamamoto in terms of power. He's won almost all of his fights using only one hand, when he did use his second hand he obliterated his opponent with one swing, and all of the fights we've seen bar one were using less power the he had when he was a child. If he swung Nozarashi now, while it was released, with both hands at full force it would be game over for whoever was in front of him, and probably a lot of others. His potential is ever growing and if he goes bankai then I can't see anyone matching that power.
He is basically the physically strongest, even if he is limited by his abilities, Kubo has shown that no matter what type of opponent he has, as long as they are both in their best and start in a fair fight, he will always win. And the fact he can become stronger in the run, makes him one of the most broken Bleach characters. Yhwach denominate him the first War Potential, because of his game breaking mechanics. That's Final.
Kenpachi killed Unohana 1v1. No gimmicks, no tricks, just impaled her. Yammamoto stopped teaching him certain techniques because he feared that his potential power would rip apart the Soul Society. Even the Central 46 are terrified of him. People back up Shinsui because he has yet to use his Bankai. Zaraki hasn't even used his Shikai. Now that Yammamoto has fallen, Ichigo is still the strongest. But I think Zaraki may be more powerful than Juhabach. But we also have to still remember that Aizen has achieved technical immortality.
What we have seen of kenpachi so far is just the shikai and reiatsu. He is yet to achieve his bankai. So, thinking logically without a bankai this dude slayed an Espada NNoitra, Beat almost all the other captains... Heck even other captains are afraid of him. Unohana has stated that he is more powerful than she is and the title (Listen to this) "KENPACHI" means "THE STRONGEST". Even the characters in Bleach call him the strongest. So its evident to conclude that Kenpachi Zaraki is the strongest in all of Soul Society. Kenpachi eats Aizen and craps Yammamoto.

While I vote for him, I don't think we can put him or Ichigo on this poll for one reason. They haven't shown or reached their full potential. Let's be honest, Kisuke is known to be a master at everything and Ichigo is still very young and inexperienced. Kisuke hasn't even shown his bankai yet, and he only used his shikai against Aizen and managed to claim victory by setting up a plan that would have used Ichigo to weaken Aizen shows that he's also a pure genius. While I may be wrong, this is my opinion on this badass man.
Kisuke would have defeated Aizen if it wasn't for the Hogyoku, Which Kisuke created, Basically Kisuke created what could have destroyed everyone in Bleach if it wasn't for HIS sealing technique. He trolled the entire series.
With prep time he is legit unstoppable, without his troll, He is still as fast as Yoruichi, as experience as Shunsui, as strong as Isshin, SMARTER than Mayuri, Better at Kido than Hachi (Who defeated Barragan) I mean come on this guy is just a Beast. Ulquiorra didn't want to fight him and Ulq was probably stronger than Starkk at his 2nd ressurection.
Shouldn't vote because we haven't seen him at his best. We know he can fight without breaking a sweat, he made it to captain easily, but he is the smartest character and most deceiving. He seems to pull all the strings and always comes out on top.
Kisuke Urahara is extremely powerful. I only ranked him eighth because we haven't seen his full power. Without a doubt the most intelligent person in the entire series, and a master of Kido second only to Unohana, Kisuke Urahara is immensely powerful.

Shunsui Kyoraku is probably the third strongest person in Soul Society. The first student taught by Yamamoto, he's one of the strongest Shinigami alive. He defeated Coyote Starrk, the first Espada and arguably the strongest, with only his Shikai, whereas Soifon, Hitsugaya, Ichigo and Byakuya had to go into Bankai to defeat their Espada opponents, with the first two still not being able to beat their foes.
Shunsui is definitely up there in terms of power. With Stark they were basically of the same strength. But people should remember that Stark also had the help of Wonderweiss... Without Wonderweiss Stark wouldn't have got the opening on Shunsui.
He is one of the first to become captains. He is also one of the first to graduate from Yamamoto's academy. He is currently the Head Captain of the Gotei 13. yamamoto certain didn't just pick him because he had wisdom.
Ukitake did nothing but absorb a few ceros and Love and Rose dealt no damage onto Stark even though they got a few hits in... Starks hierro was that strong. Kyoraku was the only one who dealt significant damage.

He killed Ichigo. Ichigo had to go completely hollow-fy to beat him and he only had to partially hollow-fy fighting all other opponents up to this point (all other opponents including captains). The only other person that required more than complete hollowfication to defeat was Aizen. He should at least be in the top 4 behind Ichigo, Aizen, and Yamamoto.
His second form is strong enough to destroy all of hueco mundo no sweat, even something a released yammy couldn't do. Ichigo would have been killed off SOOO easily if not for 2 things, the advantage of being the main character, and his random hollow transformation that was INSANELY strong
He has a second form and he is BEAST he is sick he looks awesome and epic plus he could have killed ichigo any day of the week!
Ulquiorra is the strongest espada and the second power of Hueco Mundo (after Aizen).He destroyed ichigo so easy, and he got only number 4 because Aizen didn't know about his second form.Way better than starkk.

Everything black that exists iin this world bends to his whim.
Ichigo is no match for him, since he can manipulate black, names and even use secret hado
He almost killed Yhwach

Senbonzakura has the potential to destroy a building with just one swing. Besides, it's hinted all throughout the series that he's on equal strenght with Kenpachi Zaraki, differences are their intellect. I bet these two will form the future "Elite of the Elite" like Shunsui, Unohana and Ukitake do right now.
Besides, he has an army of squealing fangirls
Byakuya is way stronger than Kenpachi. Ichigo needs a bankai as well as his hollow self, not to forget a powerful reiatsu concentrated blow to defeat Byakuya. But Kenpachi loses without Ichigo even using the Bankai. Byakuya has one of the strongest Bankai. With Senkei (Annihilationscape) he can kick Kenpachi's ass. Not to mention that he can use Danku (Binding Spell No. 81) to block Kenpachi's attacks that too without incantation. His proficiency in kidou and his speed is greater than Urahara. According to me, the ranking is:
1. Ichigo Kurosaki
2. Juhabach
3. Genryuusai Shigekuni Yamamoto
4. Sosuke Aizen
5. Unohana Retsu/ Yachiru
6. Kyouraku Shunsui
7. Kuchiki Byakuya
I hate to rank him Seventh as he is my favorite character, but this is the truth.
Byakuya should be on top of Kisuke because, when Ichigo fought Kisuke he had to use his new sword to knock of his hat, but when Ichigo fought Byakuya he had to use his new sword and then turn bankai.
God he should be first because of his immense speed and attitude!


Unohana is one of the founding members of the Gotei 13, the first Kenpachi. She's the only person Kenpachi ever admired. She's strong enough to make even Shunsui and Ukitake scared. Being the most diabolical criminal in Soul Society's history, the inventor of "the art of killing" and being the greatest Kido Master in Soul Society's history makes Unohana truly someone to be feared.
The only reason Kenpachi could even beat her is because she made him strong enough to do so. Any ranking of Kenpachi should have her immediately behind. It was acknowledged there was nobody in Soul Society stronger than her except him.
I love unohana, she was always my favorite character even before her reveal of being a crazed serial killer, but she is extremely powerful, being the first kenpachi and all. Besides being sweet and motherly she is sensible versatile and has enormous amounts of reishi, I don't think kubo should have killed her of for zaraki's spotlight... she had such good development going on :(
Smart. Well-rounded powers, able to heal and hurt. Psychotic, but still intelligent. Power is being well-endowed in every aspect, and Unohana knows her stuff.

Apart from creating the zanpakuto, his defeat of the elite guard was flawless, they never saw him coming despite their obvious strength. His strength was proven there. He also displayed intelligence when he quickly figured out how to get past Askin's technique and also take him out. Had it not been for Ju Bach, the Elite Guard had been taken out by a single member of Squad Zero.
Oetsu Nimaiya is a member of the recently revealed Royal Guard. He's the inventor of the Zanpakuto. If that doesn't scream that he's one of the strongest, I don't know what does.
Severely overrated, and is of no real use. He sliced only thtough element of surprise, and later just got stomped not one but two times.
This guy should be in the top 6. Took down 2 of the quincies with no trouble.

Coyote Starrk is the strongest Espada, who fought four captains. He took down two ex-Captain Visoreds at the same time, and proved to be an equal to Shunsui. According to him, Shunsui would've had to use Bankai to stop Starrk if not for Ukitake.
Hi lost only because he do not want to fight really.
I thought he had more potential than he showed.
Bad ass cowboy

Yoruichi is the fastest person in the history of Soul Society. She's faster than Shinji, Yamamoto, and Aizen who are all very fast and powerful Shunpo Masters as well. She's the inventor of Shunko, the fusion of Kido and Hakuda, which makes her much stronger.
I actually agree with most of this list surprisingly its spot on except I believe that Yoruichi should be somewhere in the top 10 just not sure where.
I guess she is the strongest women so she should be the 3rd rank in most strongest people in bleach...
She is the best captain ever. Remember she is the goddess of speed and no one beat her even Byakuya. Even Soi fon admired her too much as her sen pai. The or

Shinji is the leader of the Visoreds. If not for the fact that we really haven't seen a lot from him, I would've put him at about Tenjiro's position. He manipulates the senses in a way that makes sword fighting impossible, and would confuse even the greatest swordsmen, like Yamamoto and Kenpachi.
We haven't even seen his bankai, nor have we seen him combine his mask with any of his sword abilities. Aizen made him seem weak, but you guys all forget that Aizen is the biggest troll with the biggest HAX ability. On any other opponent, Shinji's shikai itself would have been enough to crush ANY opponent, captain or not. EVERY. SINGLE. ONE of your senses is inverted. It'd be insanely hard just to walk forward. You might think you're walking forward, but for all we know you're walking backwards. You can't coordinate attacks, defense, timings, anything!
Shinji is actualy the strongest, IF and that's a big IF, its in the game and not in the series. In the game his Vanguard form really is op as f
We haven't seen him at his best and his bankai but his shikai ability is over power. He apparently seems week, but he's captain of 5th squad on the leader of the Vaizards.
He is the soul king
He should be the strongest because he is the one who invented the soul society

I don't agree with this list at all. Ichgo yes. Yamato yes. But the rest is so mixed up. Yoruichi, Rinji, and Rukia definitely should have been in the top ten. Some of the strongest are in the top twenty when they should be on the top ten and the weakest compared to them are in the top ten when they should be top twenty. Azien was named twice. Yes he was strong but not strong enough to be named twice.
Come on guys... He is one of the first captains, on par with kyoraku... Should be at least in top 10

It is said by himself that he has not used his powers for 20 years and yet he easily blew away Aizen. Imagine if he trained a bit how strong he would be. We don't even know the full extent of his powers.
With a flick of his fingers he sent Aizen flying... Plus he hasn't even recovered all his lost shinigami powers yet, the guy is terrifying
We barely know anything of his powers! I have a feeling he is so strong, imagine when we see his bankai

So underrated... after the Quincy arc he practically could defeat and captain/espada/sternbringer
Think about it, he defeated Haschwalth, and his power practically makes him better then many of the various shinigami. Not to mention his strategic knowledge and the fact he's actually really well versed in all his weapons.

Gin isn't in top 10. He also isn't in top 20. You got to be kidding me. How can people like Rukia and Ikkaku be above Gin? Gin Ichimaru was not only the first person who found out Aizen's true intentions, he was also the first one to nearly kill him. Fooling a manipulator like Aizen is not something to take lightly. Ichigo could hardly counter-attack against Gin during their dual while Gin wasn't even using his full potential. It is true that we might never know the extent of his powers, but he was one of a kind. The Legendary Gin Ichimaru.
Dude. He played with ichigo like a toy in karakura war. don't forget. And I believe that he is the most deadly character in Bleach.

Did you guys forgot him? He should be in my opinion in the top ten. He can rot everything around him without effort!
Barragan has one of those powera that are almost unbeatable in about all the one on one battles, and his reign over time, especially old age makes him very scary.
Another member of the Royal Guard, I really think he's tied with Unohana. He taught her everything she knows about healing, and was fast enough to surprise Soifon, the fastest person in Soul Society, excluding Yoruichi.
Slightly overrated, isn't all that strong.
