Many Bleach villains consider themselves to be god-like, and some of them have actual evidence to prove it. These villains are ranked according to the power they have displayed in the anime or manga, although minor villains that are only in the anime are not included. Here are the 10 most powerful villains ever seen in Bleach, ranked.
10 Askin Nakk Le Vaar is the Royal Guard for a reason
First appearance: Bleach chap 494
Askin Nakk Le Vaar is a Quincy, and a member of Yhwach's royal guard, known as the Quincy Schutzstaffel. He wields a Schrift called “The Deathdealing”, allowing him to calculate the lethal dose of any substance he ingests or even comes into contact with.and then alter that value at will, allowing him to kill enemies with ease. Askin can also use this ability to raise his lethality limit, effectively healing any injuries he may have suffered from the substance.
Of course, he also possesses other Quincy abilities, such as the ability to condense surrounding spirit particles into weapons like his Heilig Bogen. Even on the brink of death, Askin can still unleash a powerful attack that can leave his opponents just as bad as he is.
9 Ulquiorra Cifer Pushed Ichigo to His Limits
First appearance: Bleach chap 190
Ulquiorra is the Cuatro Espada, making him Aizen's fourth strongest Arrancar. However, don't be fooled; Ulquiorra's power far exceeds his rank, making him one of the most dangerous Arrancar. Ulquiorra is known to have extremely fast speed.was able to dodge Ichigo's Getsuga Tensho attack with ease. His Zanpakuto's Resurreccion, Murcielago, allows him to transforms into a powerful new form equipped with wingsand he is the only Arrancar capable of bringing his Resurreccion to its second stage.
Ulquiorra pushed Ichigo past his limits, forcing Ichigo to transform into a terrifying Hollow to defeat him. Even then, defeating Ulquiorra was no easy task, and Ichigo could easily lose his humanity in the process.
8 Baraggan Louisenbairn is the king of Hueco Mundo
First appearance: Bleach chap 244
Baraggan Louisenbairn is the Segunda Espada, or 2nd Rank, in Aizen's Arrancar army. However, before coming under Aizen's command, Baraggan was known as the King of Hueco Mundo, a title he achieved through sheer strength. As a former king, he has a large ego, but has the strength to back it up. Baraggan has some ability to control the passage of time, has the ability to slow down flying objects towards him while also accelerating the aging of anyone who gets too close.
Baraggan's Zanpakuto, Arrogante, is unusual in that it is an axe rather than a sword, and his Resurreccion changes his appearance back to that of the skeletal ruler of Hueco Mundo. It greatly expands his power, giving him a decaying field around him that makes him nearly impossible to fight at close range.
7 Coyote Starrk is the top Espada
First appearance: Bleach chap 229
Coyote Starrk is a Primera Espada, or highest-ranked Arrancar. Starrk is generally a rather lazy character, and has some preoccupation with senseless killing, making him stand out as quite rational for an Arrancar. Starrk is also unusual in that he has split his soul in half, with the other half being Lilynette Gingerbuck, who contains his sealed power and takes the form of a pistol when he activates Resurreccion.
Even before becoming an Arrancar, Starrk was so powerful that his presence caused other Hollows to die, causing him to split in two in the first place. Starrk's pistols fire cero blasts instead of bullets, allowing him to perform these powerful attacks in such a succession that he is completely unrivaled by other Arrancar.
6 Lille Barro's ability is almost unbeatable
First appearance: Bleach chap 599
Lille Barro is another member of Yhwach's Schutzstaffel, and coincidentally the first Quincy to be bestowed with a Schrift by Yhwach. Lille's Schrift, “The X-Axis,” allows him to fire unblockable shots and teleportmaking it almost impossible to avoid being hit. Lille can also apply this ability to himself by opening his left eye, allowing him to become invisible and thus making it impossible for opponents to hurt him. With Lille unable to slide and unable to be hit, he is virtually unstoppable.
Lille's Quincy Vollstandig increases his power even further, gaining the ability to teleport and becoming permanently invisible. In this form, Lille's shots (shot from Vollstandig's wings) are powerful enough to destroy entire floating islands.
5 Gerard Valkyrie's Power Increases Exponentially
First appearance: Bleach chap 599
His strength and size increase as he gets injured.
Another member of Yhwach's Schutzstaffel, Gerard Valkyrie is an impressively muscular figure with seemingly limitless strength. His ability, which is not a traditional Schrift, is called Miracles and allows him to manipulate probabilitymakes impossible events more likely, especially in his favor. His strength and size increase as he takes damage, absorbing the fear of his opponents as they learn how his abilities work. His weapon also absorbs the hope of his allies, allowing it to reflect damage back at attackers.
Gerard Valkyrie was so powerful that he was essentially unstoppable, and even when he was seemingly killed, he took on a monstrous new form. He was only taken down at the end of Yhwach's final Auswhalen.
4 Gremmy Thoumeaux's powers are limited only by his imagination
First appearance: Bleach chap 572
Gremmy Thoumeaux is a Sternritter who uses the Schrift “The Visionary”, which allows him to transform anything he can imagine into the real world. This can affect anything, including turning his opponent's bones into biscuits, and he can heal his own wounds simply by imagining that they have healed. Gremmy can even summon a giant meteor that almost falls down.and would have destroyed the entire Seireitei if it weren't for Kenpachi Zaraki.
Gremmy can even imagine other living beings, allowing him to manifest multiple bodies and gain a numerical advantage in any battle. He claims to be the strongest of the Sternritter, and if one takes Schutzstaffel out of the equation, he's probably right.
3 Jugram Haschwalth is Yhwach's number two.
First appearance: Bleach chapter 485
Jugram Haschwalth is Yhwach's top lieutenant, and actually shares Yhwach's power, the “Almighty One”, when Yhwach is asleep. He is the only Quincy other than Yhwach who can transfer his power to others, allowing him to empower his allies with his mere presence. Haschwalth's true Schrift, “The Balance”, allows him to control luck.taking the misfortunes that befall him and exchanging them for the good fortunes of others. This allows him to reflect the damage he would take when attacking an attacker, making it difficult, if not impossible, for him to be killed.
Haschwalth is also an exceptionally skilled warrior, with great mental strength. Unlike most Quincy, he does not use a bow, preferring a sword and shield, with the ability to absorb misfortunes that may befall him and allow him to store them to inflict on opponents later.
2 Sosuke Aizen possesses almost limitless power
First appearance: Bleach chap 79
Sosuke Aizen was once the captain of the 13th Royal Guard, but defected to carry out his own plans, which had been in preparation for decades. Aizen stole an object called the Hogyoku, which gave him incredible power. and transformed him into a being that surpassed both Soul Reaper and Hollow. While Aizen eventually lost his Hogyoku powers thanks to Ichigo, he retained immortality thanks to his fusion with the object.
Aizen's Zanpakuto Kyoka Suigetsu allows him to create realistic illusions that can affect anyone who sees him release his blade, including every high-ranking Soul Reaper in Soul Society. It even works on Yhwach, though the effect is not as strong.
1 Yhwach is definitely the strongest villain of Bleach
First appearance: Bleach chapter 484
Yhwach is the son of the Soul King, the god of the Bleach universe, and king of all Quincy. He has the ability to give a portion of his power to his followers, known as Schrifts, but can also regain these abilities at any time, killing their former masters in exchange for stealing the power they have developed. Yhwach's Schrift, “The Omnipotent One”, grants him a variety of abilities, such as the ability to see not just one future, but all possible futures.allows him to avoid anything that could pose a serious threat to him. He can change future events to any outcome he desires, even if it does not logically occur.
Yhwach is the strongest Bleach villain of all time
Near the end of the manga, Yhwach absorbed the power of the Soul King himself, turning him into a true god. For that reason, there is no doubt that Yhwach is the strongest Bleach villain of all time.
