Top 10 Best Bleach Characters

My baby! I hate how Kubo diminished her character and her importance. She struck a chord in me, and I looked up to her for so many reasons. She had a serious and wise side, but she also had her cute and gentle side - a true role model to follow. I swear, every time she came on screen or in a panel, I got excited because of how intense her presence was.

I didn't love her just because she was a protagonist, no. There are so many times when a character is supposed to be likable, but the chemistry isn't there. I LOVED Rukia. Correction: I LOVE Rukia. Her determination and dedication were always such a pleasure to experience.

I only wish she was more present toward the later parts of the manga. Sadly, Kubo tried to place someone else in her role, but he failed because Rukia Kuchiki is unbelievably precious. I adore her and her will. She will probably forever be my favorite woman in a manga!

He's the main character. Of course, he must be #1 (lol, the song too). He is like an all-in-one package of caring and badass. He cares greatly for his friends, resulting in him fighting beyond his limits for them. Just by that, he sucks you right in and instantly takes 1st place in your heart.

Even though many other characters are like this, Ichigo goes head and shoulders beyond them to a level that leaves you speechless. He is truly the most interesting and "soul-stealing" character.

I would second him to Yamamoto, but he is not on the list (what!?). Really, I think he can get stronger. I mean, he has hollow powers, soul reaper powers, and even Quincy powers (if you have read the manga, you should read it if you haven't).

So all in all, he is the strongest. Although, I would like a bit more romance from his side. Go Ichi-Hime!

I think they should ultimately make him the closest person to rival Ichigo (the main character) when it comes to power. Dude is supposed to be a genius/prodigy, and he is just cool. Hands down, my favorite character.

I love DiamondDust Rebellion as it shows how powerful and smart he is. Dude evaded capture by his own people and was injured.

Nobody can say no to him! He's cute, strong, awesome! He is my number one favorite character in all of the anime world!

I'm a big fan of ice and snow power, and when he appeared, I was like, "He's my type!" In Bleach, he isn't the show-off type and he's always so calm... But when it comes to protecting someone precious to him, he's a BEAST! Go Toshiro!

He's hilarious. He's also underrated, as without him, they would not have been able to defeat Aizen. He's also pretty strong to take him on in Chrysalis form and definitely deserves a top 10 spot.

He's always shady and mysterious. He's smart, strong, funny, and knows about almost everything.

Amazing headband of justice in place! Amazing armor of justice, protect me now!

He is the perfect antagonist. He is smart and does everything to achieve his goals. He is mysterious and very unpredictable, a real master of deception.

Part of that is because he feels lonely and bored at the top with all the abilities he possesses, and also due to his personal beliefs about Soul Society, the world, the Royal Palace, and of course "that thing" - the Soul King. I am sure that in his twisted mind, he sees himself as the necessary evil that the world needs but doesn't know it yet.

He's a really greatly crafted character, one of the most charismatic villains ever. Well, is he really a villain? I wish we would find out more about Aizen and his true feelings.

He made watching the anime and reading the manga a really amazing experience for me. Definitely my best Bleach character ever!

Come on, guys, he is so good. His beauty, grace, prudence, excellence, voice, and PRIDE... He is perfection. He is infallible and great. I am obsessed with him.

Apart from his personality and appearance, his powers are the most beautiful and undeniably some of the strongest. Without a second thought, he is my favorite Bleach character and in the top five of my favorite anime characters.

In addition to his impeccable existence, he strongly reminds me of Itachi Uchiha from Naruto, who is my favorite character from all the anime series I have watched.

Ulquiorra should be ranked 3, not Rukia! He deserves this because he is arguably the strongest Espada and Arrancar, regardless of their numbers. He is also perhaps the most emotionless badass and the most powerful emo anime character. He can't be easily fooled because he has no attachments and lacks love. Furthermore, he is one of the most formidable rivals Ichigo has ever faced.

Ulquiorra is also at peace with the fans because, even though he is evil and tried to kill Ichigo, he managed to find peace with Orihime by understanding what a heart is, even if it's not physically visible. He's the best villain-turned-good in anime!

In terms of sheer raw power, Kenpachi is probably the strongest. A beast. A true monster. He is also a very complex character. On one hand, a maniac who loves battle - the more extreme and violent and closer to death, the better.

On the other hand, someone who takes in a baby in a horrible world and raises her by himself into a happy child who obviously loves him. He truly is awesome.

He's an unstoppable force. Kenpachi is a top 5 badass of any anime ever made. He became captain without even learning his Bankai. He's never been bested in battle.

Kenpachi getting stabbed and sliced feels like he's being tickled. He even puts bells in his hair so his opponents don't lose track of him because he's bored of kicking so much ass!

Grimmjow is the freakin' best and the only one to defeat Ichigo more than once. Also, he has the badass attitude that everyone loves.

Finally, Grimmjow has awesome blue hair, and that's why he's the best.

Grimmjow is the king of the king, the rightful beast and ruler of Hueco Mundo (as he calls himself). He doesn't care what you are. If you stand in his way, you get crushed.

In my opinion, he was actually the best Espada.

He is just so hot! He should be in 3rd place, after Ichigo, not Rukia. I mean, she is okay, but Grimmjow is still better!

He is blind yet still insanely powerful. His story is amazing as well. Such an underrated character.

How is he this low? He's such an amazing character. I really wish he got more screen time.

Truly an incredible character. Managed to become a very skilled Shinigami, despite being blind. I really wish he had gotten a more in-depth backstory.

Renji is one of the best characters ever in Bleach. He has a really good personality and maintains rational thinking even in high-stress situations. He is very kind and forgiving, as shown by him forgiving Byakuya for literally trying to kill him. Renji is also the first second-in-command officer to achieve Bankai.

He makes it clear that "titles" don't matter to him, evident in his admiration for Ikkaku, who is only a third seat, despite Renji being a second-in-command officer. Renji also had the courage to fight his own captain. He definitely deserves to be at the top.

Orihime may not be a fighter, but that's how she was created. She was meant to be the healer of the team, the most normal girl. When people say she's useless, I can't agree with that because she has helped her friends since the beginning of Bleach.

It may not be on a significant level like Ichigo, but it shouldn't be forgotten that she actually was useful. People should understand that not everyone needs to be a fighter or insanely strong to be considered useful.

She should be in the top five. Few people recognize her character as evolving, which is a shame. I can be like Orihime sometimes, smiling to hide something hurting inside. Anyway, the only negative I think is too much exposure of her cleavage.

I mean, she is shown like a bimbo, but she is actually not. She is a very perceptive and smart young woman.

Best female character in Bleach because of her funny and great personality. She is thoughtful, badass, awesome, and beautiful.

She is, in general, my third favorite Bleach character.

Her strength and abilities never cease to come in handy, especially when paired with Urahara's inventions and ideas. You've got to love her in her Coraline-esque cat form or while playing a very bloody game of tag.

She is just so badass. I mean, she didn't care when she went face to face with Aizen.

When she fought Soi Fon, she didn't even want to.

I like her very much! But I still can't choose between Rangiku and Orihime! I find them the most beautiful girls in Bleach.

When I see the anime, I think I'll choose the right one.

After seeing her and Gin, who could possibly hate on her?

Plus, I love her relationship with Shiro!

Man, why is he so low? He was very popular back when Bleach was at its peak.

I really adore and love him so much, even now. He makes Thomas H. Norstein from Digimon Savers relatable. Both of them came from wealthy families, and their relationships with their fathers are very complicated. Both lost their beloved mothers when they were really young. They are both incredibly genius and cold-headed, so they clash with hot-headed main characters (Marcus Damon and Kurosaki Ichigo). Both have sided with a villain for good deeds. Despite being cold, they care deeply for their dearest friends. Both are very gentle with girls. Their rivalries with the main characters are in a friendly way, mixed with funny arguments and funny sarcasm.

He is very powerful, cool, and his sense of justice was very good.

He is also very funny.

He's too funny! Always with a smile, and always drunk!

He is the sexiest! Awesome and powerful.

A character so powerful that she can even intimidate captains like Ukitake and Kyoraku with a smile on her face. She is probably the most skilled swordsman/woman in Bleach. I forget if it was said that she had mastered a few hundred styles of swordplay or something.

When bringing Zaraki Kenpachi back to full power, she utterly destroyed him at least 10 times. In the manga, it only showed maybe 3 times, but Kenpachi said that he lost track. Knowing him, he could lose track after 1. I say at least 10 because Kenpachi needed to increase to an extreme to finally kill her. Note that she destroyed a Kenpachi who had been the only person to defeat three captain-level Quincies when they first appeared. Then, he was almost killed by the fake Juha, which would have made him even more powerful.

Deserves to be in the top 10. Her attitude is the best.

God of the smartasses! A very classic and suave character design with trench coats, ties, and hats. He was very vital in Ichigo's training to control his hollow powers, which later helped him defeat Grimmjow.

After everything the Soul Society put them through, he, Kensei, and Rose returned to being captains. Shinji hasn't done much since the fight against Aizen. I hope his importance skyrockets at some point.

Brought some mystery back to Bleach. To this day, his enigmatic smile and design that reflects an Egyptian pharaoh makes you hope he'll still have something important to do yet.

I like her because she's the only Soul Reaper who, at the same time, is also a Mod Soul. She and Kon would be best buddies.

My surname is Stark! That's all.

By the way, he could totally fit in Game of Thrones! He has the right name, hair, and eyes (some have light eyes).

Such a good evil character. You want him to be the good guy.

A great character from Bleach.

Momo by far had the greatest character development in Bleach. The way she still continues to look up to Aizen after his betrayal shows her true dedication to him and makes her one of the more admirable characters in the series.

I unironically cried when Aizen betrayed her poor soul, as well as when Toshiro had to deal with the incredible pain of stabbing her.

I was surprised to find out she got 6th place in an official popularity poll. I'm glad to know I'm not alone in loving this character.

Momo definitely needs more screen time, and it would be nice to finally see her in one of the movies.
