Top 10 Best Espada from Bleach

I haven't watched or read Bleach in a long time, but he's definitely in my top 3 favorite Bleach characters. Why? I really couldn't give a definite reason. There are just some characters that stick with you. Ulquiorra just had a sort of aura around him that made you remember and like him, at least for me.

I could never pronounce his name correctly, but I can say I enjoyed every episode of the anime he was in because I wanted to know more about him. He made me curious about his life and saddened by his death. I was actually rooting for him to win and live. When you want someone who is a "villain" type to win over the hero, that makes for an awesome character, in my opinion.

Best Espada ever. Smart, cares about his team, and isn't boring and emo like Ulquiorra. Within minutes of meeting Ichigo, he knows what makes Ichigo tick--and he uses it to manipulate him because he's a psychopath--but still. He's also honorable. He repays Orihime for healing him, albeit roughly. And he refuses to fight Ichigo unless it's fair. Unlike, say, Nnoitra, who didn't think he could beat Nel even when he cheap-shotted her. No, he needed the eighth Espada's help too. In my opinion, the approval of the fan community is wasted on Ulquiorra. He may not be the most powerful, but that really shouldn't be what makes someone "cool."

This dude was able to hold his own against Shunsui and two Visoreds. He was a beast. I really hope Tite Kubo lets him live. He would make a great good guy, mainly based on his personality.

Coyote Starrk is one of my favorite characters ever in Bleach. The combo of Starrk and Lilynette was great, provided an awesome battle with funny scenes. This duo should be at the top of the list.

Had very cool and versatile powers, didn't blatantly disrespect his opponents, and showed a hint of mercy to Rose and Love. Probably the easiest Espada to sympathize with since people have all felt lonely.

Not to mention, he's displayed the most overall combat skill of all the Espada. One of the truly great characters Kubo has designed.

He may be the most persistent of all the Espada. Not to mention the fact that he is quite strong and was able to face a fresh Kenpachi while he himself was tired and perhaps a bit wounded (from the fight against Nelliel). He even forced him to fight with both hands.

Regarding the development of the character, he is quite unique: he embodies very well the violent and bad guy whose motivations for fighting are unclear and turn into an obsession. I personally find his look very astonishing (not to mention he looks like Shinji) and paradoxically scary (his shape doesn't fit into his strength, as Ichigo noticed). In fact, he is a weirdly fearsome villain.

I love her calm and collected attitude. She cares for her fracción as she was very upset when they died, and she also wanted to avenge them. She strongly opposes the notion of killing others, especially if done to gain power. Definitely the best Espada.

What I love about her is the way she is so calm while fighting Toshiro, and you know the way Toshiro and her fought with them being able to counter each other's attacks, ice/water. Also, her story kind is true, and I was sad when Aizen slashed her. But I don't know, I just think she is cool.

If Mayuri wasn't around, I'm sure Szayel would have won. In fact, if you pit this guy against Ichigo, I wouldn't be surprised if the Espada won.

Probably stronger than #7 because he joined quite late.

I think he should be higher than he was. He's just so creepy. He beat Renji and Uryu at the same time and took a Shakkahō to the face. He's my favorite.

I think Baraggan should be at least in the top 3 Espadas. Nothing can hit him, except his own power. He can rot anything around him without any effort. In my opinion, he got the ability to kill Ulquiorra using his powerful Sonido and Respira.

Scariest espada. And the one who ruled las noches. He can kill anyone. If it wasnt for Hachi, soi-fon would be dead right now.

If he ate aizen he'd be the strongest... Aizen should donate himself to aaroniero

I think his power is disgusting...

I liked this character so much... most likely too much, but every episode he's in is great and his death wasn't deserved. This is one of the few male characters in bleach that I would simp for.
