Most Powerful Bleach Characters (Anime Only)

I hope that at some point in the future the 'Bleach' Anime series is gonna be continued.
Until then, we cannot be certain how powerful additional characters from the Manga really are.
The list also includes a few characters which occurred only in Anime.
Many characters who occur in this list have more than only one 'form' (or 'resurrection'), to determine their rank only the (arguably) most powerful form was taken into consideration.
The Top Ten
1 Ichigo Kurosaki (final Getsuga Tenshō) Ichigo Kurosaki is a fictional character in the Bleach manga series and its adaptations created by Tite Kubo.

The most powerful individual in Bleach.

2 Head-captain Yamamoto

He is really strong, but the 'Big Bad' of the series is beyond reach, obviously.

This dude can burn planets and ichigo could not in that arc

3 Sōsuke Aizen (with Hōgyoku) Sosuke Aizen is a fictional character in the Bleach manga series and its adaptations created by Tite Kubo.

He is powerful, took on multiple tough opponents at a time.

Switch the head captain

4 Kenpachi Zaraki Kenpachi Zaraki is a fictional character and an antihero in the anime and manga series Bleach created by Tite Kubo.

One of the strongest captains, defeated guys like Yammy (Espada #0) with ease.
It can only be guessed how well he would have performed against the Wannabe-Godlike One.

5 Baraggan Louisenbairn
6 Kisuke Urahara Kisuke Urahara is a fictional character in the Bleach manga series and its adaptations created by Tite Kubo.

Contributed a lot to the final downfall of the main antagonist.
Also, unlike several other captains before him, he put up a good fight against the 'Big Bad' (before it evolved to an even stronger version).

7 Byakuya Kuchiki

Bankai is very impressive and crushes most oppenents with ease.

8 Ulquiorra Cifer Ulquiorra Cifer is a fictional character in the Bleach manga series and its adaptations created by Tite Kubo.

I have no doubt that Lord Aizen would have ranked him as Espada #0 instead of #4, if he had known about Ulquiorra's 'segunda etapa'.

9 Gin Ichimaru Gin Ichimaru is a fictional character in the Bleach manga series and its adaptations created by Tite Kubo.

Out of all other characters except Ichigo he came closest to defeating a megalomanic and overpowered Lord.

10 Grimmjow Jaegerjaquez Grimmjow Jaegerjaquez is a fictional character in the Bleach manga series and its adaptations created by Tite Kubo.
The Contenders
11 Yoruichi Shihoin Yoruichi Shihoin is a fictional character in the Bleach manga series and its adaptations created by Tite Kubo.

Together with Kisuke Urahara and Isshin Kurosaki she put up a much better fight against the main antagonist than most other captains & visored before.

12 Coyote Starrk Coyote Starrk is a fictional character in the Bleach manga series and its adaptations created by Tite Kubo.

The most powerful Espada (safe from Ulquiorra in 'segunda etapa' mode).

13 Shunsui Kyoraku Shunsui Kyoraku is a fictional character in the Bleach manga series and its adaptations created by Tite Kubo.

Very cool & skilled guy with a strawhat.

14 Mayuri Kurotsuchi

He's not only one of the most amusing troll characters in Bleach, but also capable of crushing such strong opponents like Espada #8 with ease (thanks to his exceptionally good preparations for battles).

15 Jin Kariya

We know he had an intense fight against the combined power of Byakuya and Ichigo (without Hollow powers), and didn't lose, so he must be powerful, obviously.

16 Ywach (Juha- Bach)
17 Isshin Kurosaki

One of those very few individuals who put up a good fight against the most powerful villain.

18 Shinji Hirako
19 Yammy

Becomes the highest ranked Espada (#0) after using his Resurrecion, such that only the strongest captains like Kenpachi can defeat him.

20 Toshiro Hitsugaya Toshiro Hitsugaya is a fictional character in the Bleach manga series and its adaptations created by Tite Kubo.
21 Baraggan

Scary & very powerful ability.

22 Uryu Ishida Uryū Ishida is a fictional character and major figure in the anime and manga series Bleach created by Tite Kubo.

As the story progresses he becomes remarkably stronger, defeats Espada #10 temporarily, and former Espada Arrancar #105 completely.

23 Kaname Tosen
24 Jushiro Ukitake

Capable of reflecting a powerful Hollow attack onto its user, therefore one of several decisive individuals who took down Espada #1.

25 Renji Abarai Renji Abarai is a fictional character in the Bleach manga series and its adaptations created by Tite Kubo.
